To establish an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass (HILIC-UPLC-MS/MS) for determination of sixteen nucleosides and nucleobases in Isatidis Radix. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a Acquity UPLC BEH Amide column with gradient elution of acetonitrile (containing 0.1% acetic acid) and water (containing 0.8% acetic acid and 10 mmol L−1 ammonium acetate) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL min−1, the column temperature was set at 35 °C; Waters Xevo™ TQ worked in multiple reaction monitoring mode. Each component were separating in 11 min. All calibration curves were linear (r2 > 0.997) over the tested ranges. The limits of detection of these compounds were 0.02–42.54 ng mL−1. The limits of quantitation of these compounds were 0.05–98.18 ng mL−1. The average recoveries were in the range of 93.81–105.77% with RSD value less than 7.5%. The result showed that almost all of these Isatidis Radix were rich in nucleosides and nucleobases, but their contents were obviously various. The method was simple and fast with high precision, sensitivity and repeatability, which can be used for determination of this type class of nucleosides and nucleobases in other medicinal herbs.

Graphical In this study, three water-soluble polysaccharides were isolated from Isatidis Radix , which had never been reported before. IRPS-1 and IRPS-2 possess starch branch chains, while IRPS-3 has a stable triple helix structure. Compared to IRPS-1 and IRPS-2, the structure of IRPS-3 has two additional branches, namely →4)Arap(1→ and Ribf(1→. All three polysaccharides exhibited significant antioxidant activities in vitro, with IRPS-3 demonstrating the best activity among them. This study was focused on the objective of investigating the composition, structure, and physicochemical attributes of Isatidis Radix polysaccharides (IRP). Three distinct polysaccharide fractions, IRPS-1, IRPS-2, and IRPS-3, were separated and purified from the crude polysaccharides of Isatidis Radix utilizing DEAE-52 cellulose and Sephadex G-100 columns. A series of technical methods were used to analyze the structure of the three polysaccharides. The analysis indicated that these compounds were heteropolysaccharides, with average molecular weights of 1.17 × 10 5 Da, 1.21 × 10 5 Da, and 1.06 × 10 5 Da. The primary compositional of IRPS-1 and IRPS-2 were glucose and galactose, while IRPS-3 consisted primarily of galactose, glucose, and arabinose. The methylation analysis elucidated that IRPS-1, IRPS-2, and IRPS-3 possessed similar linear backbones but differed in their branches. Distinguished from the other two polysaccharides, IRPS-3 has two additional branches, namely →4)Arap(1→ and Ribf(1→. I 2 -KI experiment showed that IRPS-1 and IRPS-2 had starch branch chains. In addition, IRPS-3 exhibited a stable triple-helix configuration in aqueous milieu and possessed longer side chains and more branches. In vitro antioxidant experiments demonstrated that IRP exhibited good concentration-dependent antioxidant activity. Based on these findings, IRP can be regarded as a potential natural antioxidant.

Baphicacanthus cusia (B. cusia) was traditionally used as raw material to prepare indigo naturalis; however, many factories have been shut down by local governments on account of their serious pollution contributions. In this study, a green and sustainable production of B. cusia leaf extracts is proposed. Namely, new indigo extract (NIE) and phenolic acid extract (PAE) were produced in an integrated fashion by enzyme transformation coupled membrane separation and freeze-drying technologies. The small-scale process was optimized, and its feasibility was verified by a pilot experiment. Moreover, the physicochemical properties, dyeing effect, and wound-healing ability of the two extracts were systematically evaluated. The NIE could be obtained within 1 day and exhibited more than 20 times the indigo content and 1.8 times the pure indigo yield than indigo naturalis. Moreover, the NIE showed superior dye-uptake rate and washing and rubbing fastness on pure cotton poplin compared with natural indigo from India. The PAE exhibited excellent broad spectrum antibacterial activities, especially S. aureus (IC50 = 32 μg/mL). Significantly, the PAE had no toxicity and presented over 98% of the wound-healing rate on mice by increasing their collagen fiber content. All of above work is of great significance for the extension and sustained healthy development of a B. cusia industry chain.

Purpose GLP-1 based therapy represents a new treatment option for inflammatory bowel disease. Ban-Lan-Gen (BLG) granule, a known anti-viral TCM formulation, exhibits potential anti-inflammatory activities in treating various kinds of inflammation. However, its anti-inflammatory effect on colitis and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown.Methods Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced chronic relapsing colitis in mice was established. The disease activity index, histological sign of damage, and levels of proinflammatory cytokines were performed to assess the protective effects of BLG. Serum GLP-1 level and colonic Gcg, GPR41 and GRP43 expression, the community compositions of gut microbiota, the levels of SCFAs in the feces and GLP-1 release from primary murine colon epithelial cells were performed to characterize the effects of BLG on gut microbiota and gut SCFA derived-GLP-1 production.Results BLG treatment significantly alleviated body weight loss, DAI, colon shortening, colon tissue damage, and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the colon tissues. Moreover, BLG treatment could observably restore colonic Gcg, GPR41 and GRP43 expression and serum GLP-1 level of colitic mice, as well as correct the alteration of gut microbiota in colitic mice by increasing the abundances of SCFA-producing bacteria, eg, Akkermansia and Prevotellaceae_UCG-001, and decreasing the abundances of bacteria, eg, Eubacterium_xylanophilum_group, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014, Intestinimonas, and Oscillibacter. Furthermore, BLG treatment could markedly increase the levels of SCFAs in feces of colitic mice. In parallel, ex vivo assay also showed that and the extract of feces from BLG-treatment mice could greatly stimulate the secretion of GLP-1 from primary murine colon epithelial cells.Conclusion These findings suggest that the anti-colitis effects of BLG are achieved at least partly by regulating gut microbiota and restoring gut SCFA derived-GLP-1 production, and BLG has the potential to be developed as a promising agent for the treatment of chronic relapsing colitis.

Four main glucosinolates (progoitrin, epiprogoitrin, gluconapin, and neoglucobrassicin) were isolated and identified from Isatis indigotica roots (Isatidis Radix). Among these, neoglucobrassicin was the first indole glucosinolate isolated from this herb, and its structure was elucidated by NMR, MS, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The glucosinolate components of Isatidis Radix have been profiled by combined use of a conventional preparative column chromatography method and a new UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS method, and validated by simultaneous analysis of intact and desulfurized GLS. A total of 16 glucosinolates (GLS) including 12 aliphatic GLS, two aromatic GLS, and two indole GLS were identified on the basis of their UV profiles, MS/MS data, and/or by comparison with reference substances. Among these nine GLS were reported from I. indigotica for the first time. The total GLS, four isolated GLS, and (R,S)-goitrin (a degraded product of progoitrin and epiprogoitrin) have been estimated in vitro for anti-influenza viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities. All the glucosinolate samples were inactive against H3N2 virus and four pathogenic bacteria, and two previously unnoticed GLS (gluconapin and neoglucobrassicin) showed significantly anti-inflammatory activity against the respiratory burst of mouse macrophages.

Polysaccharides have been assessed as a potential natural active component in Chinese herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory properties. However, the complex and indefinite structures of polysaccharides limit their applications. This study explains the structures and anti-inflammatory potentials of three neutral polysaccharides, RIP-A1 (Mw1.8 × 104Da), RIP-B1 (Mw7.4 × 104Da) and RIP-B2 (Mw9.3 × 104Da), which were isolated from the roots ofIsatis indigoticaFort. with sequenced ultrafiltration membrane columns, DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-100. The planar structures and microstructures of RIP-A1, RIP-B1 and RIP-B2 were further determined by HPGPC, GC–MS, methylation analysis, FT-IR, SEM and AFM, in which the structure of RIP-A1 was elucidated in detail using 1D/2D NMR. The Raw 264.7 cells were used for the anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. The results showed that RIP-A1, RIP-B1 and RIP-B2 are all neutral polysaccharides, with RIP-A1 having the smallest Mwand the simplest monosaccharide composition of the three. RIP-A1 is mainly composed of Ara and Gal, except for a small quantity of Rha. Its main structure is covered with glycosidic linkages of T-α-Araf, 1,2-α-Rhap, 1,5-α-Araf, T-β-Galp, 1,2,4-α-Rhap, 1,3,5-α-Arafand 1,6-β-Galpwith 0.33:0.12:1.02:0.09:0.45:11.41:10.23. RIP-A1 significantly inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokines (NO, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) and increased anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, RIP-A1 could significantly inhibit the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6 and L-1β. It could also activate IKK, p65 and IκBα (the components of the NF-κB signaling pathway). In conclusion, the above results show the structural characterization and anti-inflammatory potentials of RIP-A1 as an effective natural anti-inflammatory drug.

Compound Chinese medicine preparation is a complex multi-component system. The traditional methods such as physicochemical identification and quantification of several main index components cannot provide adequate quality evaluation for Compound Banlangen Granules. The objective of this work was to establish a characteristic degradation fingerprint of Compound Banlangen Granules polysaccharides, and the reference fingerprint was obtained from the model samples prepared using prescription medicinal herbs from different origins. The partial degradation products of Compound Banlangen Granules polysaccharides were profiled by capillary zone electrophoresis, and the quality difference of polysaccharides of these preparations was compared by cluster analysis and principal component analysis. It was found that the contents and the characteristic degradation fingerprints of the polysaccharides from 25 batches of Compound Banlangen Granules of 17 manufacturers were significantly different. The quality of Compound Banlangen Granules polysaccharides was evaluated by the characteristic degradation fingerprint tool with satisfactory results. The present method provides a reference for the quality control strategy development of polysaccharides in other compound Chinese medicine preparations.

Stress has been proven to modulate an individual’s immune system through the release of pituitary and adrenal hormones such as the catecholamines, growth hormone, and glucocorticoids. These signal molecules can significantly alter the host immune system and make it susceptible to viral infection. In this study, we investigate whether epigoitrin, a natural alkaloid from Isatis indigotica, provides protection against influenza infection by reducing the host’s susceptibility to influenza virus under stress and its underlying mechanism. To support it, the mouse restraint stress model and the corticosterone-induced stress model were employed. Our results demonstrated that epigoitrin significantly decreased the susceptibility of restraint mice to influenza virus, evidenced by lowered mortality, attenuated inflammation, and decreased viral replications in lungs. Further results revealed that epigoitrin reduced the protein expression of mitofusin-2 (MFN2), which elevated mitochondria antiviral signaling (MAVS) protein expression and subsequently increased the production of IFN-β and interferon inducible transmembrane 3 (IFITM3), thereby helping to fight viral infections. In conclusion, our study indicated that epigoitrin could reduce the susceptibility to influenza virus via mitochondrial antiviral signaling.

Oxidative stress is a growing concern, necessitating more effective antioxidants for complex environments. Herein, we developed a composite nanozyme, DVI-CDs-Cu, with exceptional antioxidant and antibacterial properties by utilizing DVI-CDs derived from Chinese herbs: Dandelion, Violet, and Isatis root, complexed with Cu 2+ ions. The DVI-CDs with abundant surface functional groups exhibited excellent superoxide dismutase-like (SOD-like) activity while forming stable complexes with copper ions. The attached copper ions performed the peroxidase-like (POD-like) function and formed a cascade effect, greatly enhancing the antioxidant capacity of the DVI-CDs-Cu nanozyme and strengthening its antibacterial property. The nanozyme was able to comprehensively clear 90 % of reactive oxygen species (ROS) while killing approximately 98 % of bacteria. The potential application of the nanozyme as a ROS scavenger was demonstrated by exploring its application to cigarette filters, capable of eliminating approximately 80 % of ROS. This provides a new case for the design and development of CDs-metal ions synergistic bionano-enzymes.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Radix Isatidis called “Ban-Lan-Gen” is one of the most commonly-used traditional Chinese medicines for antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antipyretic purposes. Investigate the bioaccessibility of uridine , epigoitrin, adenosine, clemastanin B, indigoticoside A and isolariciresinol as well as the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities during an in vitro gastro-intestinal digestion of the Radix Isatidis extract (RIE). Materials and methods High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique was adopted to determine the bioaccessibility of six bioactive compounds in RIE. Antioxidant activities of RIE in different digestive stages were determined by 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical scavenging abilities. Anti-inflammatory activity was assayed by the inhibitions of inflammatory cytokines such as nitrous oxide (NO), prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) producted by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Results The bioaccessibility of uridine, epigoitrin, adenosine, clemastanin B, indigoticoside A and isolariciresinol were 15.38%, 18.28%, 24.01%, 6.50%, 8.65% and 17.78%, respectively. Also, the digestion products still possessed certain antioxidant activities. The antioxidant activity was highly correlated with lignans (clemastanin B, indigoticoside A and isolariciresino). The anti-inflammation activity of the three samples decreased in the order: IN sample (the solution that had diffused into the dialysis tubing)>Nondigested sample (RIE solution)>Gastric sample (post-gastric digestion)>OUT sample (material that remained in the gastro-intestinal tract). Conclusions Results obtained in this research reveal the amount of bioactive compounds from RIE that could be available for absorption in vivo . The antioxidant activity decreased significantly but the anti-inflammatory activity was enhanced in serum-available fraction after gastro-intestinal digestion in vitro . This study could provide a scientific basis for a deeper pharmacological activity study of Radix Isatidis and a simple method for pharmacodynamic material basis research.
