Anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive | Triptolide, also known as triptolide and triptolide, is an epoxy diterpene lactone compound extracted from the roots, leaves, flowers and fruits of Tripterygium wilfordii, a plant of Euonymus family, with Tripterygium, Tripterygium, Tripterygium, Tripterygium, Tripterygium, Tripterygium, Tripterygium and other alkaloids constitute the main active ingredients of Tripterygium extract, which are insoluble in water and easily soluble in methanol, Dimethyl sulfoxide, absolute ethanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, etc. It has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, 10 μg/kg SC for 10 days, which can reduce the auricle swelling of mice induced by croton oil. 0.05~1 μg/ml in vitro test has a stabilizing effect on amniotic erythrocyte membrane. 75,150mg/kgsc, for 7 days, significantly increased the total complement content in rat serum and inhibited the formation of hemolysin antibody in rat initial immune response, there was no obvious inhibition on the formation of hemolysin antibody in the re-immune response. 150 μg/kg ig for 7 days. It has a certain degree of inhibition on the phagocytic function of mouse peritoneal phagocytes. 300 μg/kg SC for 15 days has inhibitory effect on auricle swelling induced by croton oil in mice. 75,150 μg/kgsc for 14 days has inhibitory effect on carrageenan-induced foot plantar swelling in rats. The hemolysis test results of 0.22~4.44 μg/ml concentration in the alcohol extract of polygala showed that it has protective effect on erythrocyte membrane of rats. 0.25,1 mg/kg ip, significantly inhibited the production and secretion of mouse antibodies (QHS method),50,500ng/ml concentration, significantly inhibited the proliferation of T and B cells, in vitro tests, 5,50,500ng/ml and in vivo administration of 0.5,0.75,1 mg/kg ip, all significantly inhibited the production of mouse spleen cell IL-2. 0.1~1 μg/ml in vitro test can inhibit Con A- induced lymphocyte proliferation in mice. The concentration of 0.5~10 μg/L can inhibit unidirectional mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC). The mixed lymphocytes induced by the concentration of 5,10 μg/L can inhibit the second MLC after 60Co irradiation, indicating that triptolide can induce inhibitory T cells (Ts);0.12~0.5 mg/kg ip can significantly inhibit DTH,0.25,0.5 mg/kg in mice induced by DNFB, the IL-2 secretion activity of spleen cells in mice was inhibited, which also increased DTH response induced by large dose of cyclophosphamide. 0.25 mg/kg can reduce the ratio of Th/Ts cells in thymus of mice. The experimental results show that triptolide has immunosuppressive effect, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the secretion activity of Th cells and IL-2 and inducing Ts cells. |
anticancer effect | in recent years, a large number of in vivo and in vitro studies have proved that this product has good antitumor activity against various cancers such as leukemia, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and lung cancer. Recent studies have found that triptolide not only specifically affects certain proteins and signaling pathways, but also inhibits a wide range of gene transcription, but its mechanism of action needs to be further clarified. Yu Qiang's research group from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted in-depth research on the molecular mechanism of triptolide inhibiting a wide range of gene transcription. It has been found that it inhibits gene transcription by promoting phosphorylation of Rpb1, the largest and most important functional subunit of RNA polymerase II, and subsequent ubiquitination degradation of Rpb1. Rpb1 upstream kinase PTEF-b plays a positive regulatory role in Triptolide-induced phosphorylation of Rpb1. The study also found that triptolide can induce DNA damage. These studies suggest that it activates P-TEFb by causing DNA damage to cells, phosphorylating Rpb1 and degrading Rpb1, thus inhibiting broad-spectrum gene transcription. |
