Effects of thyroid hormone on sodium pump sites, sodium content, and contractile responses to cardiac glycosides in cultured chick ventricular cells.

Sensitivity of cardiac muscle to digitalis glycosides depends on the thyroid state. The mechanism of this interaction was investigated at the cellular level using spontaneously beating monolayers of cultured chick embryo ventricular cells. Cells were grown for 48 h in serum-free medium containing concentrations of triiodothyronine (T3) from zero to 10(-7) M, and the total number of sodium pump sites, sodium content, and contractile amplitude in the presence and absence of various concentrations of ouabain were determined. T3 caused a concentration-dependent increase in the number of specific ouabain binding sites; the maximal increase to 160% of control was observed in response to 10(-8) M T3. T3 lowered steady-state cellular sodium content in a concentration-dependent manner, also. Ouabain (1 microM) exposure elevated cellular sodium content in all cells, but the increase was greatest in cells grown in T3-free medium and least in cells grown in 10(-8) M T3. The positive inotropic and toxic effects of ouabain in cells grown in 10(-8) M T3 were diminished at any given ouabain concentration, and thus, the dose-response curve was shifted to the right. These results indicate that T3 causes induction of additional sodium pump sites that are functional. The increased tolerance of hyperthyroid cells and reduced tolerance of hypothyroid cells to cardiac glycosides can be explained by these changes in the number of sodium pump sites and cellular sodium content, and consequently, calcium influx via sodium-calcium exchange.

Pharmacokinetics of anthocyanidin-3-glycosides following consumption of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. extract.

Pharmacokinetic parameters of several dietary anthocyanins following consumption of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. extract were determined in 6 healthy volunteers. Subjects were given a single oral dose of 150 mL of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. extract yielding 62.6 mg of cyanidin-3-sambubioside, 81.6 mg of delphindin-3-sambubioside, and 147.4 mg of total anthocyanins (calculated as cyanidin equivalents). Within 7 hours, the urinary excretion of cyanidin-3-sambubioside, delphinidin-3-sambubioside, and total anthocyanins (ie, the sum of all quantifiable anthocyanidin glycosides) was 0.016%, 0.021%, and 0.018% of the administered doses, respectively. Maximum excretion rates were determined at 1.5 to 2.0 hours after intake. The dose-normalized plasma area under the curve estimates were 0.076, 0.032, and 0.050 ng x h/mL/mg for cyanidin-3-sambubioside, delphinidin-3-sambubioside, and total anthocyanins, respectively. The dose-normalized C(max) estimates were 0.036, 0.015, and 0.023 ng/mL/mg in the same sequence. They were reached each at 1.5 hours (median) after intake. The geometric means of t1/2 were 2.18, 3.34, and 2.63 hours for cyanidin-3-sambubioside, delphinidin-3-sambubioside, and total anthocyanins, respectively. The urinary excretion of intact anthocyanins was fast and appeared to be monoexponential. To evaluate the contribution of anthocyanins to the health-protecting effects of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. extract, it will be necessary to perform further studies on both the intact glycosides and their in vivo metabolites or conjugates in human plasma and urine.

Cardiac glycoside toxicity resulting from cough linctus abuse.

Proprietry cough medicines are often abused by drug addicts as they are freely available and, in many instances, contain narcotic substances. A variety of other compounds are present in these products, including compounds structurally related to the commonly prescribed cardiac glycosides. We report a case in which severe cardiac glycoside toxicity resulted from the abuse of such a preparation.

Antioxidant properties of flavonol glycosides from tea.

We have determined the antioxidant activity of the major flavonols found in tea: a monoglycoside, a diglycoside and two triglycosides of kaempferol and three monoglycosides, a diglycoside and two triglycosides of quercetin. The Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and inhibition of iron/ascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation of phosphatidyl choline vesicles were measured. In the aqueous phase TEAC assay, the quercetin monoglycosides and diglycoside were approximately half as effective as quercetin aglycone. The quercetin triglycosides were much less effective than the monoglycosides and the diglycoside. The kaempferol glycosides were 32-39% less effective in the aqueous phase antioxidant assay compared to the kaempferol aglycone. Quercetin monoglycosides and diglycoside were potent inhibitors of lipid peroxidation, in contrast to the triglycoside which was much less effective. All the kaempferol glycosides were significantly less potent inhibitors of lipid peroxidation compared to the kaempferol aglycone. The compounds described herein demonstrate the antioxidant activity of the major flavonols in tea and indicate the effect of substituting a range of sugar moieties in the phenolic C ring.

Antioxidant properties of flavonol glycosides from green beans.

We have examined the antioxidant activity of one class of polyphenolic compounds in green beans: two novel flavonol glycosides (quercetin 3-O-[xylosyl(1-->2)]-rhamnosyl (1-->6)-glucoside and the corresponding kaempferol analogue), quercetin 3-O-glucuronide, kaempferol 3-O-glucuronide, quercetin 3-O-rutinoside and kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside. The Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and inhibition of iron/ascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation of phosphatidyl choline vesicles were measured. In the aqueous phase TEAC assay, the glucuronide and rutinoside of quercetin were good antioxidants, but not as effective as the quercetin aglycone. TEAC values for the glucuronide and other glycosides of kaempferol were much lower than the corresponding quercetin species but similar to that of the kaempferol aglycone. Quercetin 3-O-glucuronide and quercetin 3-O-rutinoside were both potent inhibitors of lipid peroxidation, in contrast to the those of kaempferol. The compounds described herein demonstrate the antioxidant activity of the flavonols present in green beans and indicate the effect on antioxidant activity of sugar substitutions in the phenolic C ring.

Immunostimulatory effects of cycloartane-type triterpene glycosides from astragalus species.

In the course of our research on the oligoglycosidic constituents of Turkish Astragalus species, we have isolated a number of cycloartane-type triterpene glycosides. The current study examines the immunostimulatory effects of nineteen of these cycloartane-type compounds using a transcription-based bioassay for Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation in a human macrophage/monocyte cell line, THP-1. All compounds were inactive at 100 microg/ml except astragaloside I which increased NF-kappaB directed luciferase expression to levels about 65% as compared with maximal stimulation by E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 10 microg/ml. None of the compounds were active at low dosage levels (0.1 microg/ml) in combination with 50 ng/ml LPS. Astragaloside I also increased mRNA expression of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) as measured using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT)-PCR. Based on these results it is clear that certain structural features are required for immunostimulation of cycloartane-type triterpene glycosides.

Five iridoid glycosides, including the two new compounds scropolioside-D(2) (1) and harpagoside-B (2), were isolated from the aerial parts of Scrophularia deserti DEL (Scrophulariaceae). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data to be 6-O-[2",4"-di-O-acetyl-3"-O-trans-cinnamoyl)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl]-8 alpha-hydroxymethyl-1 alpha,5 beta,6 alpha,7 alpha,9 beta-pentahydro-7(8)-epoxy-2-oxaind-3-ene-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside-6'-O-acetate (1) and 5-O-beta-hydroxy-8-O-beta-trans-cinnamoyl-8 alpha-methyl-1,6,7,9-tetrahydro-2-oxaind-3-ene-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), respectively. In addition, three more iridoid glycosides, scropolioside-D (3), koelzioside (4), and 8-O-acetyl-harpagide (5), were also isolated and characterized from this source. The biological activity and the structure activity relationship of the compounds were also studied, and scropolioside-D (3) and harpagoside-B (2) were found to possess significant antidiabetic and antiinflammatory activity, respectively.

Nardostachys chinensis glycoside induces characteristics of neuronal differentiation in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells.

Rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells undergo neuronal differentiation in response to nerve growth factor. We show here that exposure of PC12 cells to Nardostachys chinensis glycoside induces the outgrowth of neurites, increases the activity of AChE, triggers cell cycle arrest in G1 and enhances the expression of growth associated protein 43 (GAP-43). Both the outgrowth of neurites and the increase in AChE activity are prevented partly by PD98059, a specific inhibitor of MEK1. These results suggest that N. chinensis glycoside induces the characteristics of neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells via the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-related signal cascade.

Ionophoretic activities of oligopeptide lactones and resin-glycosides in human erythrocytes.

Oligopeptide lactones (theonellapeptolides) isolated from the Okinawan marine sponge Theonella swinhoei and resin-glycosides (merremosides) from the tuber of an Indonesian medicinal plant Merremia mammosa were examined regarding their activities in transporting Na+, K+, and Ca++ ions into human erythrocytes. Each of these lactones, which had been shown, using a supported liquid membrane, to have an ionophoretic effect on the alkali metal ions, transported the ions to a different extent. The ion transporting activities of these compounds were completely lost when the macrocyclic lactone structures were cleaved by sodium methylate. Resin-glycosides with an additional branched glycosyl residue showed much greater ion transporting activities than those without it.

Constituents of a fern, Diplazium subsinuatum. III. Four new hopane-triterpene lactone glycosides.

From a whole plant of a fern, Diplazium subsinuatum, three new hopane-triterpene lactone glycosides, diplaziosides V-VII (1-3), were isolated, together with a new monoacetyl derivative (4) of diplazioside VII (3). Compounds 1-3 were defined as the respective 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-beta-D-glucopyranosides of 3beta,24-dihydroxyhopan-28,22-olide (1), of 3beta,17,24-trihydroxyhopan-28,22-olide (2), and of (22R)-3beta,24,30-trihydroxyhopan-28,22-olide (3), and 4 as the 6"-O-acetate of 3, respectively, on the basis of spectral evidence. 1-3 are new in their glycoside structures but also in their triterpene structures. Furthermore, in compounds 1-4, the coupling between the 24-hydroxy proton and one of the 24-methylene protons showed a very large J-value (11.4 Hz); based on this 1H-NMR evidence, etc., preferred conformations of the 24-hydroxymethylene groups in 1-4 are also inferred. In a similar manner, 1H-NMR coupling patterns of the 24-hydroxymethylene in the monoglucoside (2a) and aglycone (2b), derived from 2, are also reported and discussed here.
