产品描述

Humulone (α-Lupulic acid), a prenylated phloroglucinol derivative, is a potent cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. Humulone acts as a positive modulator of GABAA receptor at low micromolar concentrations. Humulone is an inhibitor of bone resorption. Humulone possesses antioxidant, anti-angiogenic and apoptosis-inducing properties[1][2][3].

Humulone (0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 nM; for 12 h) with with 10 ng/ml TNFα dose-dependently decreases the amount of released PGE2 with an IC50 of about 30 nM in MC3T3-E1 cells. Humulone reduces cyclooxygenase activity of the TNFK-treated cells[1]. Humulone (0.1-10000 nM; for 12 h) suppresses the TNFα-induced increase of cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA[1]. Humulone hardly affects the cyclooxygenase-1 activity below 10 μM, whereas inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 activity with an IC50 of about 1.6 μM in MC3T3-E1 cells[1].

Humulone (10 or 20 mg/kg; IP; single dose) shortens sleep onset and increases the duration of sleep induced by pentobarbital and decreases the spontaneous locomotion in open field at 20 mg/kg[2]. Humulone (10 μmol; applied topically to the dorsal shaved area) pre-treatment significantly inhibited TPA (10 nmol)-induced COX-2 expression in Female ICR mice (6-7 weeks of age) skin[3]. Humulone (1, 10 μmol; applied topical; pre-treatment 30 min) suppresses TPA-induced NF-κB DNA binding. Humulone attenuates TPA-stimulated nuclear translocation of p65 and p50 subunit proteins of NF-κB[3].

Humulone Modulation of GABAA Receptors and Its Role in Hops Sleep-Promoting Activity

Front Neurosci 2020 Oct 14;14:594708.PMID:33177986DOI:10.3389/fnins.2020.594708.

Humulus lupulus L. (hops) is a major constituent of beer. It exhibits neuroactive properties that make it useful as a sleeping aid. These effects are hypothesized to be mediated by an increase in GABAA receptor function. In the quest to uncover the constituents responsible for the sedative and hypnotic properties of hops, recent evidence revealed that Humulone, a prenylated phloroglucinol derivative comprising 35-70% of hops alpha acids, may act as a positive modulator of GABAA receptors at low micromolar concentrations. This raises the question whether Humulone plays a key role in hops pharmacological activity and potentially interacts with other modulators such as ethanol, bringing further enhancement in GABAA receptor-mediated effects of beer. Here we assessed electrophysiologically the positive modulatory activity of Humulone on recombinant GABAA receptors expressed in HEK293 cells. We then examined Humulone interactions with other active hops compounds and ethanol on GABA-induced displacement of [3H]EBOB binding to native GABAA receptors in rat brain membranes. Using BALB/c mice, we assessed Humulone's hypnotic behavior with pentobarbital- and ethanol-induced sleep as well as sedation in spontaneous locomotion with open field test. We demonstrated for the first time that Humulone potentiates GABA-induced currents in α1β3γ2 receptors. In radioligand binding to native GABAA receptors, the inclusion of ethanol enhanced Humulone modulation of GABA-induced displacement of [3H]EBOB binding in rat forebrain and cerebellum as it produced a leftward shift in [3H]EBOB displacement curves. Moreover, the additive modulatory effects between Humulone, isoxanthohumol and 6-prenylnaringenin were evident and corresponded to the sum of [3H]EBOB displacement by each compound individually. In behavioral tests, Humulone shortened sleep onset and increased the duration of sleep induced by pentobarbital and decreased the spontaneous locomotion in open field at 20 mg/kg (i.p.). Despite the absence of Humulone effects on ethanol-induced sleep onset, sleep duration was increased dose-dependently down to 10 mg/kg (i.p.). Our findings confirmed Humulone's positive allosteric modulation of GABAA receptor function and displayed its sedative and hypnotic behavior. Humulone modulation can be potentially enhanced by ethanol and hops modulators suggesting a probable enhancement in the intoxicating effects of ethanol in hops-enriched beer.

Placental Passage of Humulone and Protopine in an Ex Vivo Human Perfusion System

Planta Med 2021 Nov;87(14):1192-1205.PMID:34530480DOI:10.1055/a-1578-3803.

The placental passage of Humulone and protopine was investigated with a human ex vivo placental perfusion model. The model was first validated with diazepam and citalopram, 2 compounds known to cross the placental barrier, and antipyrine as a positive control. All compounds were quantified by partially validated U(H)PLC-MS/MS bioanalytical methods. Only a small portion of Humulone initially present in the maternal circuit reached the fetal circuit. The Humulone concentration in the maternal circuit rapidly decreased, likely due to metabolization in the placenta. Protopine was transferred from the maternal to the fetal circuit, with a steady-state reached after 90 min. None of the study compounds affected placental viability or functionality, as glucose consumption, lactate production, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin, and leptin release remained constant. Histopathological evaluation of all placental specimens showed unremarkable, age-appropriate parenchymal maturation with no pathologic findings.

Medicinal Herbs in the Relief of Neurological, Cardiovascular, and Respiratory Symptoms after COVID-19 Infection A Literature Review

Cells 2022 Jun 11;11(12):1897.PMID:35741026DOI:10.3390/cells11121897.

COVID-19 infection causes complications, even in people who have had a mild course of the disease. The most dangerous seem to be neurological ailments: anxiety, depression, mixed anxiety-depressive (MAD) syndromes, and irreversible dementia. These conditions can negatively affect the respiratory system, circulatory system, and heart functioning. We believe that phytotherapy can be helpful in all of these conditions. Clinical trials confirm this possibility. The work presents plant materials (Valeriana officinalis, Melissa officinalis, Passiflora incarnata, Piper methysticum, Humulus lupulus, Ballota nigra, Hypericum perforatum, Rhodiola rosea, Lavandula officinalis, Paullinia cupana, Ginkgo biloba, Murraya koenigii, Crataegus monogyna and oxyacantha, Hedera helix, Polygala senega, Pelargonium sidoides, Lichen islandicus, Plantago lanceolata) and their dominant compounds (valeranon, valtrate, apigenin, citronellal, isovitexin, isoorientin, methysticin, Humulone, farnesene, acteoside, hypericin, hyperforin, biapigenin, rosavidin, salidroside, linalool acetate, linalool, caffeine, ginkgolide, bilobalide, mihanimbine, epicatechin, hederacoside C,α-hederine, presegenin, umckalin, 6,7,8-trixydroxybenzopyranone disulfate, fumaroprotocetric acid, protolichesteric acid, aucubin, acteoside) responsible for their activity. It also shows the possibility of reducing post-COVID-19 neurological, respiratory, and cardiovascular complications, which can affect the functioning of the nervous system.

Humulone inhibits phorbol ester-induced COX-2 expression in mouse skin by blocking activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1: IkappaB kinase and c-Jun-N-terminal kinase as respective potential upstream targets

Carcinogenesis 2007 Jul;28(7):1491-8.PMID:17372274DOI:10.1093/carcin/bgm054.

Humulone, a bitter acid derived from hop (Humulus lupulus L.), possesses antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and other biologically active activities. Although Humulone has been reported to inhibit chemically induced mouse skin tumor promotion, the underlying mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. Since an inappropriate over-expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is implicated in carcinogenesis, we investigated effects of Humulone on COX-2 expression in mouse skin stimulated with the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Topical application of Humulone (10 mumol) significantly inhibited TPA-induced epidermal COX-2 expression. Humulone also diminished TPA-induced DNA binding of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1). Pre-treatment with Humulone attenuated TPA-induced phosphorylation of p65 and nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB subunit proteins. Humulone blunted TPA-induced activation of inhibitory kappaB (IkappaB) kinase (IKK) in mouse skin, which accounts for its suppression of phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of IkappaBalpha. An in vitro kinase assay revealed that Humulone could directly inhibit the catalytic activity of IKKbeta. Humulone suppressed the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in TPA-treated mouse skin. The roles of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase-1/2 and p38 MAPK in TPA-induced activation of NF-kappaB in mouse skin had been defined in our previous studies. The present study revealed that topical application of SP600125, a pharmacological inhibitor of c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK), abrogated the activation of AP-1 and the expression of COX-2 in TPA-treated mouse skin. Taken together, Humulone suppressed TPA-induced activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 and subsequent expression of COX-2 by blocking upstream kinases IKK and JNK, respectively, which may account for its antitumor-promoting effects on mouse skin carcinogenesis.

Humulone suppresses replication of respiratory syncytial virus and release of IL-8 and RANTES in normal human nasal epithelial cells

Med Mol Morphol 2013 Dec;46(4):203-9.PMID:23381605DOI:10.1007/s00795-013-0024-1.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the major infectious agent causing serious respiratory tract inflammation in infants and young children. However, an effective vaccine and anti-viral therapy for RSV infection have not yet been developed. Hop-derived bitter acids have potent pharmacological effects on inflammation. Therefore, we investigated the effects of Humulone, which is the main constituent of hop bitter acids, on the replication of RSV and release of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-8 and chemokine RANTES in RSV-infected human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs). We found that Humulone prevented the expression of RSV/G-protein, formation of virus filaments and release of IL-8 and RANTES in a dose-dependent manner in RSV-infected HNECs. These findings suggest that Humulone has protective effects against the replication of RSV, the virus assembly and the inflammatory responses in HNECs and that it is a useful biological product for the prevention and therapy for RSV infection.
