Usage

Uses

Neoruscogenin is a natural sapogenin isolated from Butcher’s broom (R. rhizoma), which is traditionally used against chronic venous disorders.

Biological Activity

neoruscogenin is a bioavailable, potent, and high-affinity agonist of the nuclear receptor rorα [1]. neoruscogenin is a natural sapogenin extracted from butcher’s broom (rusci rhizoma, ruscus aculeatus, ruscaceae) [2].rar-related orphan receptor alpha (rorα) is a nuclear receptor that participates in the transcriptional regulation of some genes involved incircadian rhythm. genetic studies have revealed that rorα plays an important role in the development of the central nervous system and has been associated with genetic lesions in mice [3].

in vitro

in confluent human microvascular endothelial cells (hmec-1), pre-treatment with neoruscogenin slightly decreased the permeability at concentrations up to 100 μm (71.8%). the ec50 of neoruscogenin against the nuclear receptor rorα was 110 nm [1].

in vivo

in mice, oral administration of neoruscogenin (3 mg/kg/d) for seven days up-regulated the expression of several rorα-inducible genes in the liver [1].

Four new steroidal saponins from the rhizomes of Helleborus orientalis

A phytochemical analysis has been carried out on theglycoside-enriched fraction of a McOH extract of Helleborus orientalis rhizomes, resulting in the isolation of two new bisdesmosidic furostanol saponins (1 and 2) and two new furospirostanol saponins (3 and 4). The structures of 1-4 were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and acid hydrolysis followed by chromatographic and spectroscopic analysis. Compound (3) showed moderate cytotoxic activity against HSC-2 human squamous cell carcinoma cells with an IC50 value of 16 μg/mL.

Steroidal glycosides from the rhizomes of Ruscus hypophyllum

Seven steroidal glycosides, along with one known glycoside, were isolated from the rhizomes of Ruscus hypophyllum (Liliaceae). Comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including 2D NMR spectroscopy, and the results of acid hydrolysis allowed the chemical structures of the compounds to be assigned as (23S,25R)-23-hydroxyspirost-5-en-3β-yl O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), 1β-hydroxyspirosta-5,25(27)-dien-3β-yl O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), (22S)-16β,22-dihydroxycholest-5-en-3β-yl O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), (22S)-16β-[(β-d-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-22-hydroxycholest-5-en-3β-yl O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), (22S)-16β-[(β-d-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-22-hydroxycholest-5-en-3β-yl β-d-glucopyranoside (5), (22S)-16β-[(β-d-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-3β,22-dihydroxycholest-5-en-1β-yl O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-(3,4-di-O-acetyl-β-d-xylopyranoside) (6), and (22S)-16β-[(β-d-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-3β,22-dihydroxycholest-5-en-1β-yl O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-O-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)]-β-d-xylopyranoside (7), respectively. This is the first isolation of a series of cholestane glycosides from a Ruscus species.
