Militarine is a major chemical constituent of the tuber of Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Reichb.f., with a prominent neuroprotective effect.
Militarine remarkably decreases in IL-6, TNF-α, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mRNA levels, phospho-IκB kinase β/IκB kinase β (p-IKKβ/IKKβ), phospho-nuclear factor of kappa B p65/nuclear factor of kappa B p65 (p-NF-κBp65/NF-κBp65) and COX-2 proteins, concomitant with a significant increase of expression of inhibitor of NF-κB (IκBα) protein in PM 2.5-exposed human lung alveolar epithelial A549 cells.[2]
Militarine promotes rehabilitation of white matter, and increases levels of myelin basic protein (MBP), also markedly suppresses loss of CNPase-positive oligodendrocytes in rats with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.[1]

Metabolic Activation of Militarine In Vitro and In Vivo
Chem Res Toxicol 2022 May 16;35(5):817-828.PMID:35476398DOI:10.1021/acs.chemrestox.1c00430.
Bletilla striata is consumed as food and herbal medicine. Militarine (MLT) is a major ingredient in B. striata. Previous studies demonstrated that MLT showed teratogenic toxicity to zebrafish embryos. The present study aimed to identify reactive metabolites possibly involved in the cytotoxicity of MLT and determine the metabolic pathways involved. MLT was found to be hydrolyzed to p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA) by β-glucosidase and esterases. The resulting HBA further underwent spontaneous dehydration to form quinone methide. HBA was also metabolized to the corresponding sulfate, followed by departure of the sulfate to generate a quinone methide. The resultant quinone methide reacted with hepatic glutathione (GSH) and protein to form the corresponding GSH conjugate and protein adduction. Additionally, inhibition of sulfotransferases (SULTs) attenuated the susceptibility of hepatocytes to the toxicity of MLT. This study provides that the hydrolytic enzymes β-glucosidase, esterases, and SULTs participate in the metabolic activation of MLT.
Role of Militarine in PM2.5-Induced BV-2 Cell Damage
Neurochem Res 2021 Jun;46(6):1423-1434.PMID:33675461DOI:10.1007/s11064-021-03281-6.
A growing number of studies have shown that air fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution is closely associated with neuroinflammation in humans. Militarine, a glucosyloxybenzyl 2-isobutylmalate compound isolated from Bletilla striata, has been found to exert significant neuroprotective effects. However, the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects of Militarine on PM2.5-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells have not been reported. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Militarine against PM2.5-induced cytotoxicity and its mechanism in BV-2 microglial cells. Our results revealed that pretreatment with 0.31-1.25 μg/mL Militarine reversed the morphological changes caused by PM2.5 and decreased proinflammatory cytokine generation and gene expression in PM2.5-treated BV-2 cells. In particular, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 expression was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, Militarine markedly inhibited the upregulation of Toll-like receptor 4, Toll-like receptor 2, and cyclo-oxygenase-2 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels and reduced NF-κB pathway-associated protein expression. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that Militarine suppressed NF-κB activity through inhibiting p65 nuclear translocation. Our data suggested that Militarine alleviated neuroinflammation in BV-2 microglial cells, possibly by inhibiting the expression of neuroinflammatory cytokines through the TLR/NF-κB signaling pathway. Additionally, Militarine significantly reduced PM2.5-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and cell apoptosis and restored the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP; ΔΨm). Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Militarine played a protective role against PM2.5-induced damage in BV-2 cells by exerting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic effects.
Metabolite Profiling and Distribution of Militarine in Rats Using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS
Molecules 2020 Feb 28;25(5):1082.PMID:32121087DOI:10.3390/molecules25051082.
Militarine, a natural glucosyloxybenzyl 2-isobutylmalate, isolated from Bletilla striata, was reported with a prominent neuroprotective effect recently. The limited information on the metabolism of Militarine impedes comprehension of its biological actions and pharmacology. This study aimed to investigate the metabolite profile and the distribution of Militarine in vivo, which help to clarify the action mechanism further. A total of 71 metabolites (57 new metabolites) in rats were identified with a systematic method by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography combined with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS). The proposed metabolic pathways of Militarine include hydrolyzation, oxidation, glycosylation, esterification, sulfation, glucuronidation and glycine conjugation. Militarine and its metabolites were distributed extensively in the treated rats. Notably, six metabolites of Militarine were identified in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which were highly consistent with the metabolites after oral administration of gastrodin in rats. Among the metabolites in CSF, five of them were not reported before. It is the first systematic metabolic study of Militarine in vivo, which is very helpful for better comprehension of the functions and the central nervous system (CNS) bioactivities of Militarine. The findings will also provide an essential reference for the metabolism of other glucosylated benzyl esters of succinic, malic, tartaric and citric acids.
Inhibition of inflammation-induced injury and cell migration by coelonin and Militarine in PM2.5-exposed human lung alveolar epithelial A549 cells
Eur J Pharmacol 2021 Apr 5;896:173931.PMID:33549578DOI:10.1016/j.ejphar.2021.173931.
Accumulating studies suggest that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollutants in the air are easily enter into alveoli and even the bloodstream, resulting in an inflammatory response that not only triggers respiratory disorders but also causes permanent damage to various organs. Recent findings suggest that coelonin and Militarine enriched in orchids can inhibit inflammation-induced injury against respiratory diseases. Here, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory properties of coelonin and Militarine and examined their underlying molecular mechanisms in A549 cells exposed to PM2.5. PM2.5 induced significant intracellular reactive oxidative stress accumulation at a concentration of 250 μg/ml, as determined using the dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescence assay. Cell viability was assessed via the MTS assay to determine the concentrations of compounds appropriate for use in subsequent experiments. Data from the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that both coelonin (10 and 20 μg/ml) and Militarine (5 and 10 μg/ml) mitigated PM2.5-induced inflammation by reducing the generation of inflammatory factors, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed a remarkable decrease in IL-6, TNF-α, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mRNA levels in the coelonin and militarine-pretreated groups. In Western blot analysis, expression of inhibitor of NF-κB (IκBα) protein in the coelonin and Militarine pretreatment groups was significantly increased compared with the PM2.5 (only) treatment group (P < 0.05), concomitant with a significant decrease in phospho-IκB kinase β/IκB kinase β (p-IKKβ/IKKβ), phospho-nuclear factor of kappa B p65/nuclear factor of kappa B p65 (p-NF-κBp65/NF-κBp65) and COX-2 proteins (P < 0.05). Both coelonin and Militarine inhibited migration and inflammation by suppressing PM2.5-induced IKK phosphorylation, and followed by IκBα protein degradation and NF-κB activation. Our collective data strongly supported the utility of coelonin and Militarine as novel sources for development of treatments for PM2.5-induced lung diseases.
A Validated HPLC-MS/MS Method for Simultaneous Determination of Militarine and Its Three Metabolites in Rat Plasma: Application to a Pharmacokinetic Study
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med 2019 May 2;2019:2371784.PMID:31186657DOI:10.1155/2019/2371784.
A rapid, reliable, and sensitive HPLC-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was established and validated for simultaneous determination of Militarine and its three metabolites (gastrodin, α-isobutylmalic acid, and gymnoside I) in rat plasma. Plasma was acidified with formic acid, and protein was precipitated with methanol. MS/MS with ESI and multiple reaction monitoring at m/z 725.3→457.3, 457.1→127, 304.3→107.2, 189→129, and 417.1→267.1 was used for determination of Militarine, gastrodin, α-isobutylmalic acid, gymnoside I, and puerarin (internal standard), respectively. Chromatographic separation was conducted using an ACE UltraCore SuperC18 (2.1 × 100 mm, 2.5 μm) column with gradient mobile phase (0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile). The lower limits of quantitation for Militarine, gastrodin, α-isobutylmalic acid, and gymnoside I were 1.02, 2.96, 1.64, and 0.3 ng/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviations of intra- and interday measurements were less than 15%, and the method accuracy ranged from 87.4% to 112.5%. The extraction recovery was 83.52%-105.34%, and no matrix effect was observed. The three metabolites (gastrodin, α-isobutylmalic acid, and gymnoside I) were synchronously detected at 0.83 h, suggesting that Militarine was rapidly transformed to gastrodin, α-isobutylmalic acid, and gymnoside I. Moreover, the area under the curve (AUC) and Cmax of Militarine were significantly lower than those of gastrodin and α-isobutylmalic acid, showing that Militarine was largely metabolized to gastrodin and α-isobutylmalic acid in vivo. The studies on pharmacokinetics of Militarine and its three metabolites were of great use for facilitating the clinical application of Militarine and were also highly meaningful for the potential development of Militarine.
