Kushenol E inhibits autophagy and impairs lysosomal positioning via VCP/p97 inhibition
Biochem Pharmacol 2020 May;175:113861.PMID:32081789DOI:10.1016/j.bcp.2020.113861.
Autophagy plays a major role in cell survival and has therefore been exploited as an important strategy in cancer therapy. In this study, we evaluated the autophagy-regulatory effects of Kushenol E (KE), a bi-prenylated flavonoid isolated from Sophora flavescens and found that KE increased LC3B-II levels while inducing the formation of autophagic vacuoles and immature autophagosomes in HeLa and HCT116 cells. Transmission electron microscopy images revealed that KE treatment generates immature autophagosomes. Furthermore, KE inhibited autophagosome maturation as demonstrated by blocking the degradation of EGFP puncta in HeLa cells stably expressing EGFP-mRFP-LC3B. It also reduced lysosomal activity and cathepsin maturation by disrupting lysosomal positioning, subsequently inducing apoptosis. Further, a combinatorial approach employing cellular thermal shift assays, revealed valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97 as a potential target protein of KE; the knockdown and overexpression of VCP/p97 confirmed its involvement in regulating lysosomal positioning for autophagy maturation via direct interactions with KE. Thus, KE may possess autophagy-regulating properties mediated by binding to VCP/p97.
Re-evaluation of the antioxidant prenylated flavonoids from the roots of Sophora flavescens
Biol Pharm Bull 2008 May;31(5):908-15.PMID:18451517DOI:10.1248/bpb.31.908.
The objective of this research was to re-evaluate the antioxidant effects of the prenylated flavonoids from Sophora flavescens via in vitro 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), and total reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays. In addition, a further examination of kuraridinol, kurarinol, and kurarinone, also isolated from S. flavescens, was carried out by the inhibition of tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced intracellular ROS generation and t-BHP-induced activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). Upon re-examination of the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) soluble fraction of S. flavescens, two major prenylated chalcones, including kuraridin and kuraridinol, along with a minor prenylated flavonol, kushenol C, were isolated as good DPPH scavengers. This was in contrast to the prenylated flavanones, sophoraflavanone G and kurarinone, which were isolated from the methylene chloride (CH(2)Cl(2)) fraction of the same source. Five flavanones consisting of Kushenol E, leachianone G, kurarinol, sophoraflavanone G, and kurarinone exhibited significant antioxidant potentials in the ABTS, ONOO(-), and total ROS assays; however, the prenylated chalcones and prenylated flavonol showed more potent scavenging/inhibitory activities than the prenylated flavanones. Therefore, the prenylated chalcones and prenylated flavonol, rather than the prenylated flavanones, may make important contributions toward the marked antioxidant capacities of S. flavescens. Furthermore, kuraridinol, kurarinol, and kurarinone showed significant inhibitory activities against intracellular ROS levels as well as NF-kappaB activation by t-BHP. Overall, the results indicate that S. flavescens and its prenylated flavonoids may possess good anti-inflammatory activity, which is implicated in their significant antioxidant activity.
Identification of Potential Allosteric Site Binders of Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 from Plants: A Virtual and Molecular Dynamics Investigation
Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022 Sep 2;15(9):1099.PMID:36145319DOI:10.3390/ph15091099.
Ligand and structure-based computational screenings were carried out to identify flavonoids with potential anticancer activity. Kushenol E, a flavonoid with proven anticancer activity and, at the same time, an allosteric site binder of the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1), was used as the reference compound. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed for the screened flavonoids with known anticancer activity. The following two of these flavonoids were identified as potential inhibitors of IDO1: dichamanetin and isochamanetin. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to assess the conformational profile of IDO1-flavonoids complexes, as well as for calculating the bind-free energies.
Identifying potential quality markers of Xin-Su-Ning capsules acting on arrhythmia by integrating UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap, ADME prediction and network target analysis
Phytomedicine 2018 May 15;44:117-128.PMID:29526583DOI:10.1016/j.phymed.2018.01.019.
Background: Quality marker (Q-markers) has been proposed as a novel concept for quality evaluation and standard elaboration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Xin-Su-Ning capsule (XSNC) has been extensively used for the treatment of arrhythmia with the satisfactory therapeutic effects in clinics. However, it is lack of reliable and effective Q-markers of this prescription. Purpose: To identify potential Q-markers of XSNC against arrhythmia. Study design: An integrative pharmacology-based investigation was performed. Methods: Ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap-Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap) was performed to identify the preliminary chemical profile of XSNC in a rapid and high-throughput manner. Then, in silico Absorption-Distribution-Metabolism-Excretion (ADME) models were utilized to screen candidate active chemical compounds characterized by drug-likeness features. In addition, drug target-disease gene interaction network was constructed, and network features were calculated to identify key candidate targets and the potential Q-markers of XSNC against arrhythmia. Results: A total of 41 chemical compounds with good drug-likeness and more chances to be absorbed into body were identified as the candidate bioactive chemical compounds which might offer contributions to the therapeutic effects of XSNC against arrhythmia in vivo. Following the prediction of 921 XSNC putative targets and the construction of XSNC putative target-known therapeutic target of arrhythmia interaction network, 315 hub nodes with high connectivity were selected. Functionally, the hub nodes were involved into modulation of cardiac sympatho-vagal balance, regulation of energy production and metabolism, as well as angiogenesis and vascular circulation during the development and progression of arrhythmia. Moreover, 63 major hubs with network topological importance were chosen as XSNC candidate targets against arrhythmia. Furthermore, berberine, palmatine, scopoletin, liquiritigenin, naringenin, formononetin, nobiletin, tangeretin, 5-demethylnobiletin, Kushenol E and kurarinone hitting the corresponding XSNC candidate targets were screened out to be the potential Q-markers of XSNC against arrhythmia. Conclusion: Our integrative pharmacology-based approach combining UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap, in silico ADME prediction and network target analysis may be efficient to identify potential Q-markers of TCM prescriptions. Our data showed that berberine, palmatine, scopoletin, liquiritigenin, naringenin, formononetin, nobiletin, tangeretin, 5-demethylnobiletin, Kushenol E and kurarinone might function as candidate markers for qualitative evaluation of XSNC.
Inhibitory activities of prenylated flavonoids from Sophora flavescens against aldose reductase and generation of advanced glycation endproducts
J Pharm Pharmacol 2008 Sep;60(9):1227-36.PMID:18718128DOI:10.1211/jpp.60.9.0016.
Important targets for the prevention and treatment of diabetic complications include aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors (ARIs) and inhibitors of advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) formation. Here we evaluate the inhibitory activities of prenylated flavonoids isolated from Sophora flavescens, a traditional herbal medicine, on rat lens AR (RLAR), human recombinant AR (HRAR) and AGE formation. Among the tested compounds, two prenylated chalcones--desmethylanhydroicaritin (1) and 8-lavandulylkaempferol (2)--along with five prenylated flavanones--kurarinol (8), kurarinone (9), (2S)-2'-methoxykurarinone (10), (2S)-3beta,7,4'-trihydroxy-5-methoxy-8-(gamma,gamma-dimethylally)-flavanone (11), and Kushenol E (13) were potent inhibitors of RLAR, with IC50 values of 0.95, 3.80, 2.13, 2.99, 3.77, 3.63 and 7.74 microM, respectively, compared with quercetin (IC50 7.73 microM). In the HRAR assay, most of the prenylated flavonoids tested showed marked inhibitory activity compared with quercetin (IC50 2.54 microM). In particular, all tested prenylated flavonols, such as desmethylanhydroicaritin (1, IC50 0.45 microM), 8-lavandulylkaempferol (2, IC50 0.79 microM) and kushenol C (3, IC50 0.85 microM), as well as a prenylated chalcone, kuraridin (5, IC50 0.27 microM), and a prenylated flavanone, (2S)-7,4'-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-8-(gamma,gamma-dimethylally)-flavanone (12, IC50 0.37 microM), showed significant inhibitory activities compared with the potent AR inhibitor epalrestat (IC50 0.28 microM). Interestingly, prenylated flavonoids 1 (IC50 104.3 microg mL(-1)), 2 (IC50 132.1 microg mL(-1)), 3 (IC50 84.6 microg mL(-1)) and 11 (IC50 261.0 microg mL(-1)), which harbour a 3-hydroxyl group, also possessed good inhibitory activity toward AGE formation compared with the positive control aminoguanidine (IC50 115.7 microg mL(-1)). Thus, S. flavescens and its prenylated flavonoids inhibit the processes that underlie diabetic complications and related diseases and may therefore have therapeutic benefit.
