Extraction, rapid preparation and neuroprotective effect of texasin, a main active constituent from (Pall.) Poir.

Searching for new anti-ischemic stroke (anti-IS) drugs has always been a hot topic in the pharmaceutical industry. Natural products are an important source of discovering anti-IS drugs. The aim of the present study is to extract, rapidly prepare and explore the neuroprotective effect of texasin, a main active constituent from (Pall.

[Absorption mechanism of dragon's blood phenolic extracts in Caco-2 cells].

The purpose of this study was to study the absorption characteristics of eight main components from dragon's blood phenolic extracts in Caco-2 cells based on the humancolon cancer cell Caco-2 model, and to clarify the oral absorption mechanism of such phenolic extracts. UPLC-MS/MS was used in this study to determine the content of 8 active ingredients including thevetiaflavone, 7,4'-dihydroxyflavone, 7,4'-dihydroxy-5-methoxyhomoisoflavanone, 7,4'-dihydroxyhomoisoflavanone, loureirin C, loureirin A, loureirin B and pterostilbene from dragon's blood phenolic extracts, and Caco-2 cells were used to investigate the effects of incubation time, concentration, temperature, P-gp inhibitor, MRP inhibitor, OCTN1 inhibitor and OCTN2 inhibitor on the absorption of each component. In addition, the transport experiment was conducted to measure the apparent permeability coefficient P_(app) and transport rate of the eight main components to predict the oral absorption mechanism of dragon's blood phenolic extracts.
