The hydrolytic kinetics and degradation mechanism of 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-d-glycoside (THSG) extracted from Radix Polygoni Multiflori (a commonly used official Chinese herbal Heshouwu), were investigated using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The influences of pH (1.5-9.9), temperature (25-60°C) and irradiation on the hydrolysis of THSG were studied in aqueous solutions. The results showed that the degradation of THSG was pH-, temperature- and irradiation-dependent and all followed first-order kinetics. The effect of temperature on the rate of THSG degradation was characterized using the Arrhenius equation. Maximum stability of THSG was found at pH 1.5 (t(0.5)=47.57 d). THSG was unstable in alkaline and irradiation conditions. The active energy (E(a)) of THSG degradation in aqueous solution at pH 6.8 (most frequently adopted extract solvent) under lucifugal and irradiation conditions was 47.7kJmol(-1) and 25.3kJmol(-1), respectively. Three hydrolytic products of THSG were identified by LC-MS. Cis-trans isomerism took place under irradiation, and hydrolysis took place in acid-base conditions. Moreover, further oxidation on aglycon occurred after hydrolytic cleavage of phenolic glycoside in acidic conditions. The possible hydrolytic pathways of THSG are proposed.

Background: The potential therapeutic targeting of PINK1-PARK2-mediated mitophagy against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R) injury involves the pathophysiological processes of neurovascular unit (NVU) and is closely associated with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) commonly expressed in NVU. 2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (THSG), a compound derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., has demonstrated notable neuroprotective properties against CI/R injury.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The combination of Polygoni Multiflori Radix Praeparata (PMRP) and Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma (ATR) is often used in traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it is not clear whether the effects and mechanisms of the decoction prepared by traditional decocting method (PA) is different from that prepared by modern decocting method (P + A).
Aim Of The Study: The present study aimed to investigate the differences in the protective effects of PA and P + A on scopolamine induced cognitive impairment, and to explore its potential mechanism.

Background: Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. (PM) is well known both in China and other countries of the world for its tonic properties, however, it has lost its former glory due to liver toxicity incidents in recent years.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the occurrence of herb-drug interaction (HDI) caused by PM is associated with cytochrome P450 (CYP450) based on pharmacokinetic studies and in vitro inhibition assays.
