Abstract
Mallotus apelta leaf, recorded in the quality standard of Yao Medicinal Material in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, is commonly used in the treatment of liver diseases. Total flavonoids of M. apelta leaf (TFM) had good anti-fibrosis activity, but the anti-fibrosis mechanism of TFM is still unclear. Nuclear magnetic resonance technology was used to study the dynamic changes of urine metabolites in CCl4 -induced liver fibrosis before and after TFM treatment. Ingenuity Path Analysis (IPA) was used to find potential target genes for TFM to improve liver fibrosis and verify the expression of target genes by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blotting. TFM can significantly reduce serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, improve liver steatosis and reduce inflammation; in urine metabolomics, a total of seven potential biomarkers were found, mainly involving two metabolic pathways; IPA analysis showed that TNF may be a potential target for TFM to improve liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 in rats. This study found that TNF may be a potential target gene for TFM treatment of liver fibrosis, and shows that the anti-fibrosis mechanism of TFM could improve liver fibrosis by regulating the tricarboxylic acid cycle and subtaurine metabolism.

Abstract
Three new chromanes, malloapeltas J-L (1-3), and one new flavone C-glycoside, malloflavoside (4), together with four known compounds, apigenin 6-C-β-D-xylopyranosyl-8-C-α-L-arabinopyranoside (5), apigenin 6-C-β-D-glucopyranosyl-8-C-α-L-arabinopyranoside (6), apigenin 7-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), and acantrifoside E (8) were isolated from the methanol extract of the leaves of Mallotus apelta. Their chemical structures were determined using spectroscopic methods, including 1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS methods. All the isolated compounds were evaluated their cytotoxic activity against human prostate cancer (PC-3) and human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, but none of them showed cytotoxicities on both human cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Mallotusapelta(Lour.) Müll.Arg has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of chronic hepatitis. Six new chromene derivatives, malloapeltas C-H (1-6) and one known compound, malloapelta B (7) were isolated and structured from the leaves of M.apelta. Two pairs of enantiomers (1a/1b and 2a/2b) were successfully separated by chiral high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The structures and absolute configurations of compounds were determined using spectroscopic methods, including 1D, 2D NMR, and MS and quantum chemical calculation methods. All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activity using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay against ovariancancer cell line (TOV-21G). Compounds 1-5 and 7 exhibited significant growth and viability inhibitory effects with GI50 values ranging from 0.06 to 10.39 μM and IC50 values ranging from 1.62 to 10.42 μM on ovarian cancer cell line, TOV-21G. The most cytotoxic compounds 2, 3, and 7 were chosen for studying in apoptosis mechanism. Compounds 2, 3, and 7-induced apoptosis as evidenced by activated caspase 8, caspase 9, and PARP, increased Bak and Bax, and decreased Bcl-xL and survivin. Moreover, compounds 2, 3, and 7 significantly inhibited the NF-κB signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings propose the potential application of compounds 2, 3, and 7 for treating cancer via modulating NF-κB activity.

Abstract
Anoctamin1 (ANO1), a calcium-activated chloride channel, is frequently overexpressed in several cancers, including human prostate cancer and oral squamous cell carcinomas. ANO1 plays a critical role in tumor growth and maintenance of these cancers. In this study, we have isolated two new compounds (1 and 2) and four known compounds (3-6) from Mallotus apelta. These compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on ANO1 channel activity and their cytotoxic effects on PC-3 prostate cancer cells. Interestingly, compounds 1 and 2 significantly reduced both ANO1 channel activity and cell viability. Electrophysiological study revealed that compound 2 (Ani-D2) is a potent and selective ANO1 inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 2.64 μM. Ani-D2 had minimal effect on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel activity and intracellular calcium signaling. Notably, Ani-D2 significantly reduced ANO1 protein expression levels and cell viability in an ANO1-dependent manner in PC-3 and oral squamous cell carcinoma CAL-27 cells. In addition, Ani-D2 strongly reduced cell migration and induced activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP in PC-3 and CAL-27 cells. This study revealed that a novel ANO1 inhibitor, Ani-D2, has therapeutic potential for the treatment of several cancers that overexpress ANO1, such as prostate cancer and oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The Mallotus apelta (Lour.) Muell.Arg. is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) used for anti-inflammatory, hemostasis and chronic hepatitis. AIM The purpose of this study was to explore the antifibrotic effect of total flavonoids of Mallotus apelta leaf (TFM) and its potential mechanism. METHODS Hepatic fibrosis was induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats. The CCl4-induced rats received intragastric administration of colchicine (0.2 mg/kg per day), TFM (25, 50, 100 mg/kg per day) and the equal vehicle was given to normal rats. Pathological evaluation in hepatic tissue were examined by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. And the levels of serum biochemical parameters were detected by automatic biochemical analysis. Meanwhile, the collagen deposition in liver was observed by staining with Masson's trichrome. Collagenic parameters and inflammatory factors were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Additionally, corresponding assay kit was used to estimate the antioxidant enzyme and lipid peroxidation. In order to explore the potential mechanism of anti-fibrotic effects in TFM, the expressions of liver fibrosis related gene and protein were analyzed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. RESULTS The CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis were inhibited dose-dependently in rats by TFM. The results showed that the key hallmarks of liver injury including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin (ALB) and total protein (TP) in the serum were reversed in CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis rats which were treated by TFM. Furthermore, TFM significantly alleviates collagen accumulation and reduces the contents of hydroxyproline (Hyp), Type III precollagen (PC-III), collagen I (Col I), hyaluronic acid (HA) and laminin (LN). RT-PCR and Western blot results showed that TFM markedly inhibits liver fibrosis hallmark factor α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expressions in CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis rats. Moreover, TFM alleviated the oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in rats induced by CCl4. TFM also attenuated the pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) via inhibiting nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation. Meanwhile, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad signaling pathway was inhibited by TFM treatment. CONCLUSIONS TFM can alleviate CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats, which potential mechanism may be due to its ability of reducing ECM accumulation, improving antioxidant and regulating TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathways and NF-κB-dependent inflammatory response.
