Unveiling the anti-obesity potential of Kemuning (Murraya paniculata): A network pharmacology approach. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0305544. [PMID: 39208245 PMCID: PMC11361609 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0305544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Obesity has become a global issue that affects the emergence of various chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, dysplasia, heart disorders, and cancer. In this study, an integration method was developed between the metabolite profile of the active compound of Murraya paniculata and the exploration of the targeting mechanism of adipose tissue using network pharmacology, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and in vitro tests. Network pharmacology results obtained with the skyline query technique using a block-nested loop (BNL) showed that histone acetyltransferase p300 (EP300), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PPARGC1A) are potential targets for treating obesity. Enrichment analysis of these three proteins revealed their association with obesity, thermogenesis, energy metabolism, adipocytokines, fat cell differentiation, and glucose homeostasis. Metabolite profiling of M. paniculata leaves revealed sixteen active compounds, ten of which were selected for molecular docking based on drug-likeness and ADME results. Molecular docking results between PPARG and EP300 with the ten active compounds showed a binding affinity value of ≤ -5.0 kcal/mol in all dockings, indicating strong binding. The stability of the protein-ligand complex resulting from docking was examined using molecular dynamics simulations, and we observed the best average root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 0.99 Å for PPARG with trans-3-indoleacrylic acid, which was lower than with the native ligand BRL (2.02 Å). Furthermore, the RMSD was 2.70 Å for EP300 and the native ligand 99E, and the lowest RMSD with the ligand (1R,9S)-5-[(E)-2-(4-Chlorophenyl)vinyl]-11-(5-pyrimidinylcarbonyl)-7,11-diazatricyclo[7.3.1.02,7]trideca-2,4-dien-6-one was 3.33 Å. The in vitro tests to validate the potential of M. paniculata in treating obesity showed that there was a significant decrease in PPARG and EP300 gene expressions in 3T3-L1 mature adipocytes treated with M. paniculata ethanolic extract starting at concentrations 62.5 μg/ml and 15.625 μg/ml, respectively. These results indicate that M. paniculata can potentially treat obesity by disrupting adipocyte maturation and influencing intracellular lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Polymethoxylated flavonoids (PMFs) are a subclass of flavonoids found in citrus fruits that have shown multifunctional biological activities and potential anticancer effects against breast cancer. We studied the absorption, metabolism, species source, toxicity, anti-cancer mechanisms, and molecular targets of PMFs to better utilize their anticancer activity against breast cancer. We discuss the absorption and metabolism of PMFs in the body, including the methylation, demethylation, and hydroxylation processes. The anticancer mechanisms of PMFs against breast cancer were also reviewed, including the estrogen activity, cytochrome P-450 enzyme system, and arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR) inhibition, along with various molecular targets and potential anticancer effects. Although PMFs may be advantageous in the prevention and treatment for breast cancer, there is a lack of clinical evidence and data to support their efficacy. Despite their promise, there is still a long way to go before PMFs can be applied clinically.

A sulfonamide chalcone AMPK activator ameliorates hyperglycemia and diabetic nephropathy in db/db mice. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 165:115158. [PMID: 37473685 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), which currently lacks effective treatments. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) stimulation by chalcones, a class of polyphenols abundantly found in plants, is proposed as a promising therapeutic approach for DM. This study aimed to identify novel chalcone derivatives with improved AMPK-stimulating activity in human podocytes and evaluate their mechanisms of action as well as in vivo efficacy in a mouse model of DN. Among 133 chalcone derivatives tested, the sulfonamide chalcone derivative IP-004 was identified as the most potent AMPK activator in human podocytes. Western blot analyses, intracellular calcium measurements and molecular docking simulation indicated that IP-004 activated AMPK by mechanisms involving direct binding at allosteric site of calcium-dependent protein kinase kinase β (CaMKKβ) without affecting intracellular calcium levels. Interestingly, eight weeks of intraperitoneal administration of IP-004 (20 mg/kg/day) significantly decreased fasting blood glucose level, activated AMPK in the livers, muscles and glomeruli, and ameliorated albuminuria in db/db type II diabetic mice. Collectively, this study identifies a novel chalcone derivative capable of activating AMPK in vitro and in vivo and exhibiting efficacy against hyperglycemia and DN in mice. Further development of AMPK activators based on chalcone derivatives may provide an effective treatment of DN.

GC-MS Profiling and Biomedical Applications of Essential Oil of Euphorbia larica Boiss.: A New Report. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12030662. [PMID: 36978910 PMCID: PMC10045896 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12030662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study explored Euphorbia larica essential oil (ELEO) constituents for the first time, obtained via hydro-distillation by means of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) profiling. The essential oil was screened in vitro against breast cancer cells, normal cell lines, α-glucosidase, carbonic anhydrase-II (CA-II), free radical scavenging and in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory capabilities. The GC-MS screening revealed that the ELEO comprises sixty compounds (95.25%) with the dominant constituents being camphene (16.41%), thunbergol (15.33%), limonene (4.29%), eremophilene (3.77%), and β-eudesmol (3.51%). A promising antidiabetic capacity was noticed with an IC50 of 9.63 ± 0.22 μg/mL by the ELEO as equated to acarbose with an IC50 = 377.71 ± 1.34 μg/mL, while a 162.82 ± 1.24 μg/mL inhibition was observed against CA-II. Regarding breast cancer, the ELEO offered considerable cytotoxic capabilities against the triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell lines, having an IC50 = 183.8 ± 1.6 μg/mL. Furthermore, the ELEO was also tested with the human breast epithelial (MCF-10A) cell line, and the findings also presumed that the ELEO did not produce any damage to the tested normal cell lines. The ELEO was effective against the Gram-positive bacteria and offered a 19.8 ± 0.02 mm zone of inhibition (ZOI) against B. atrophaeus. At the same time, the maximum resistance with 18.03 ± 0.01 mm ZOI against the fungal strain Aspergillus parasiticus was observed among the tested fungal strains. An appreciable free radical significance was observed via the DPPH assay with an IC50 = 133.53 ± 0.19 µg/mL as equated to the ABTS assay having an IC50 = 154.93 ± 0.17 µg/mL. The ELEO also offered a substantial analgesic capacity and produced 58.33% inhibition in comparison with aspirin, a 68.47% decrease in writhes, and an anti-inflammatory capability of 65.54% inhibition, as equated to the standard diclofenac sodium having 73.64% inhibition. Hence, it was concluded that the ELEO might be a natural source for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, breast cancer, analgesic, inflammatory, and antimicrobial-related diseases. Moreover, additional phytochemical and pharmacological studies are needed to isolate responsible chemical ingredients to formulate new drugs for the examined activities.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders occur when nerve cells in the brain or peripheral nervous system partial or complete fail in their functions and sometimes even die due to some injuries or aging. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Parkinson's Disease (PD), have been majorly resulted due to degeneration of neurons and neuroinflammation progressively. There are many similarities that correlates both AD and PD on a cellular and sub-cellular level. Therefore, a hope for therapeutic advancement for simultaneous upgradation in both the diseases are directly depending on the discovery of common mechanism at molecular and cellular level. Recent and past evidences from scientific literature supporting the efficacy of plants flavonoids in treatment and protection of both AD and PD. Further, dietary flavones, specially Heptamethoxyflavone, Kaempferitrin, Vitexin and Amentoflavone gains recently much more attention for producing many health beneficiary effects including neuroprotection. Despite of these evidence a detailed updated overview of neuroprotective effects against both AD and PD by Heptamethoxyflavone, Kaempferitrin, Vitexin and Amentoflavone are still missing. In this context several published studies were assessed by using various online electronic search engines/databases to meet the objective from 1981 to 2021 (Approx. 224). Therefore, present review was designed to deliver the detailed description on these flavones including therapeutic benefits in AD, PD and other CNS complications with critical analysis on underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Aims This study aimed to establish a yeast‐based screening system for potential compounds that can alleviate the toxicity of α‐synuclein (α‐syn), a neuropathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease, either inhibition of α‐syn aggregation or promotion of ubiquitin‐mediated degradation of α‐syn. Methods and Results A powerful yeast‐based screening assay using the rsp5A401E‐mutant strain, which is hypersensitive to α‐syn aggregation, was established by two‐step gene replacement and further overexpressed the GFP‐fused α‐syn in the drug‐sensitive yeast strain with a galactose‐inducible multicopy plasmid. The rsp5A401E‐mutant strain treated with baicalein, a known α‐syn aggregation inhibitor, showed better α‐syn toxicity alleviation than the same background wild type strain as accessed by comparison on the reduction kinetics of viable dye resazurin fluorometrically (λex540/λem590 nm). The rsp5A401E‐mutant yeast‐based assay system showed high sensitivity as it could detect as low as 3.13 µmol l−1 baicalein, the concentration that lower than previously report detected by the in vitro assay. Conclusions Our yeast‐based system has been effective for screening potential compounds that can alleviate α‐syn toxicity with high sensitivity and specificity. Significance and Impact of the Study Yeast‐based assay system can be used to discover novel neuroprotective drug candidates which may be either efficiently suppress‐α‐syn aggregation or enhance ubiquitin‐dependent degradation.
