Article Synopsis
  • Cardiomyocyte loss and fibrosis significantly contribute to the damage caused by myocardial infarction (MI), which leads to heart dysfunction.
  • Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes, especially when combined with Danshen decoction (DSY), show potential in improving heart recovery after MI in rat models.
  • The study found that exosomes from BM-MSCs combined with DSY were more effective than standard BM-MSC exosomes in enhancing cardiac function and structure, while also reducing damage and cell death in heart cells.

Chemical constituents from the ethanol extract of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora were isolated and purified by column chromatography. Their structures were identified by HR-MS, 1D and 2D-NMR, and their cytotoxicity was assessed by CCK-8 assay. Four compounds were isolated and identified as follows: 2β-D-glucosyloxy-3β,16α,20β-trihydroxy-9-methyl-19-norlanosterol-5,25-diene-22-one(1), 2β-D-glucosyloxy-3β,16α,20β-trihydroxy-9-methyl-19-norlanosta-5,24-diene-22-one(2), 25-acetoxy-2β-glucosyloxy-3β,16α,20β-trihydroxy-9-methyl-19-norlanosta-5-ene-22-one(3) and 25-acetoxy-2β-glucosyloxy-3β,16α,20β-trihydroxy-9-methyl-19-norlanosta-5,23-(E)-diene-22-one(4).

Objective: To explore the protective effect of baicalin against rotenone-induced injury on PC12 cells, and the po-tential mechanism of action action was also explored.

Method: PC12 cells were injured by rotenone and were treated with different concentrations (0.1, 1, 10 μmol x L(-1)) of baicalin at the same time.
