Planta Med. 2013 Dec;79(18):1705-9. | Caffeoylated phenylpropanoid glycosides from Brandisia hancei inhibit advanced glycation end product formation and aldose reductase in vitro and vessel dilation in larval zebrafish in vivo.[Pubmed: 24288293 ] | In our continuing efforts to identify effective naturally sourced agents for diabetic complications, five caffeoylated phenylpropanoid glycosides, acteoside (1), isoacteoside (2), poliumoside (3), Brandioside (4), and pheliposide (5) were isolated from the 80% EtOH extract of Brandisia hancei stems and leaves.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
These isolates (1-5) were subjected to an in vitro bioassay evaluating their inhibitory activity on advanced glycation end product formation and rat lens aldose reductase activity. All tested compounds exhibited significant inhibition of advanced glycation end product formation with IC50 values of 4.6-25.7 µM, compared with those of aminoguanidine (IC50=1,056 µM) and quercetin (IC50=28.4 µM) as positive controls. In the rat lens aldose reductase assay, acteoside, isoacteoside, and poliumoside exhibited greater inhibitory effects on rat lens aldose reductase with IC50 values of 0.83, 0.83, and 0.85 µM, respectively, than those of the positive controls, 3,3-tetramethyleneglutaric acid (IC50=4.03 µM) and quercetin (IC50=7.2 µM). In addition, the effect of acteoside on the dilation of hyaloid-retinal vessels induced by high glucose in larval zebrafish was investigated.
CONCLUSIONS:
Acteoside reduced the diameters of high glucose-induced hyaloid-retinal vessels by 69% at 10 µM and 81% at 20 µM, compared to the high glucose-treated control group. These results suggest that B. hancei and its active components might be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of diabetic vascular complications. | Planta Med. 2005 Aug;71(8):778-80. | In vitro neuroprotective activities of phenylethanoid glycosides from Callicarpa dichotoma.[Pubmed: 16142646 ] | METHODS AND RESULTS:
Ten phenylethanoid glycosides, forsythoside B, acteoside, 2'-acetylacteoside, poliumoside, Brandioside, echinacoside, isoacteoside, cistanoside H and E-tubuloside E as well as a new compound, Z-tubuloside E, were isolated from the n-BuOH fraction of Callicarpa dichotoma Raeuschel (Verbenaceae) by bioactivity-guided fractionation using glutamate-injured primary cultures of rat cortical cells as a screening system.
CONCLUSIONS:
These phenylethanoid glycosides significantly attenuated glutamate-induced neurotoxicity at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 microM. | J Ethnopharmacol. 2000 Aug;71(3):483-6. | Antioxidant activity of phenylethanoid glycosides from Brandisia hancei.[Pubmed: 10940587] | Brandisia hancei is a medicinal herb in China.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The ethanol extract of this plant and four phenylethanoid glycosides, acteoside (1), 2'-acetylacteoside (2), poliumoside (3) and Brandioside (4), isolated from it were shown to have inhibitory effects on free radical-induced hemolysis of red blood cells and free radical scavenging activities in vitro. Brandioside (4) and poliumoside (3) showed stronger antioxidant effect than acteoside (1), 2'-acetylacteoside (2) and trolox. |
