Objective: To optimize the extracting technology for polysaccharides from Dioscorea nipponica by response surface methodology.
Methods: The independent variables were extraction temperature, reflux time and liquid-to-solid ratio, the dependent variable was extraction rate of polysaccharides in Dioscorea nipponica. Linear or nonlinear mathematic models were used to estimate the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Central composite design and response surface methodology were used to optimize the process of extraction. The prediction was carried out through comparing the observed and predicted values.
Results: The optimum technological parameters were as follows: extraction temperature 91.5° C, reflux time 172.9 min, solid-to-liquid ratio 25.8:1 and 2 times for extraction. Bias between observed and predicted of rates was 1.3%.
Conclusion: The extraction technology is simple, reliable and highly predictive.

Article Synopsis
- Neuroinflammation contributes to the worsening of neurodegenerative diseases, driven by immune system activation and release of inflammatory molecules.
- Medicinal plants show promise as natural alternatives to reduce neuroinflammation, with specific plants identified for their ability to lower pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhance antioxidant defenses.
- Future research should aim for standardized dosages and safety assessments, utilizing advanced methods to improve the clinical use of these plants in treating neurodegenerative conditions.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease, and TL1A and its receptor DR3 play important roles in its pathogenesis. Th9 cells are involved in RA development. Dioscin from Dioscorea nipponica (DDN) has a therapeutic effect on RA, but its effect on TL1A/DR3 and Th9 cells remains unclear.

P2X7 is an emerging therapeutic target for several disorders and diseases due to its role in inflammatory signalling. This study aimed to exploit the unique chemical libraries of plants used in traditional medicinal practices to discover novel allosteric modulators from natural sources. We identified several compounds from the NCI Natural Product library as P2X7 antagonists including confertifolin and digallic acid (IC values 3.

Electronic address:
A group of previously undescribed diarylheptanoids with mono/di-glucose substitution, diodiarylheptosides A-F (1-6), together with six known diarylheptanoids (7-12) were isolated from the rhizomes of Dioscorea nipponica. Their structures were established by comprehensive UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS and NMR analyses, and their absolute configurations were determined by a comparison of calculated and experimental ECD, some with optical rotations, after acid-hydrolysis. Moreover, bioassay results showed that compounds 3 and 11 exhibited stronger NO inhibitions on lipopolysaccharides-induced RAW 264.
