Descriptions:
Oxymatrine, one of the major components of Sophora flavescens ait, has exhibited anti-hepatitis virus infection, anti-hepatic fibrosis, anti-inflammation, anti-anaphylaxis and other immune-regulation, it induces human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells apoptosis via regulating expression of Bcl-2 and IAP families, and releasing of cytochrome C.[1]
Oxymatrine is proven to protect ischemic and reperfusion injury in liver, intestine and heart, this effect is via anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis, it has protective effect applies to ischemic injury in brain to reduce infarct volume induced by pMCAO, this effect may be through the decreasing of NF-kappaB expression.[2]
Oxymatrine has anti-inflammatory activity, it can reduce the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and the expression of NF-κB and ICAM-1 in colonic mucosa in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)--induced colitis of rats, indicates that oxymatrine may ameliorate the colonic inflammation and thus alleviate diarrhea and bloody stool.[3]
Oxymatrine has a beneficial effect on acute lung injury induced by oleic acid in mice and may inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokine, TNF-alpha, by means of the inhibition of p38 MAPK.[4]
Oxymatrine has inhibition of hepatitis B virus in vivo, it (200 mg/kg/d,20day )can reduce thecontents of HBsAg and HBcAg in transgenic miceliver, and longer treatment time and larger dosage do not yield better effects.[5]
Oxymatrine can attenuate diabetes-associated cognitive deficits in rats, which is associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptotic cascades.[6]
Oxymatrine can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, which makes it a potentially useful agent for targeting cancer cells; it causes a dose-dependent reduction in the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and a decrease in SP cells, the growth inhibitory effects of oxymatrine treatment on MCF-7 cells may be due to the inhibition of SP and Wnt/0205-catenin signaling pathway. [7]
Oxymatrine and astragalus polysaccharide can synergistically improve the immune efficacy of Newcastle disease vaccine in chicken, because of astragalus polysaccharide and oxymatrine possesses synergistical immunoenhancement.[8]
