Ion channels play a crucial role in the electrophysiological activities of organisms. The calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A is involved in various physiological processes. Therefore, inhibitors of TMEM16A are used to treat diseases caused by TMEM16A dysfunction. However, the unclear inhibition mechanism hinders the progress of drug development. Based on our previous study, we found that the molecular structures of TMEM16A inhibitors tracheloside, matairesinoside and arctigenin are similar. In this study, we conducted a structure-based virtual screening of tracheloside analogs from the PubChem database. The six tracheloside analogs with the highest affinity to TMEM16A were selected, and their inhibitory effects were detected by fluorescence and electrophysiological experiments. Subsequently, the interaction between the tracheloside analogs and TMEM16A was investigated through molecular docking and site-directed mutagenesis. Based on the above results, the mechanism of inhibition of TMEM16A gated conformation by tracheloside analogs was proposed. These findings provide a structural and theoretical basis for drug development targeting TMEM16A.

A quantitative analysis method was established using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to simultaneously determine five lignans in the total lignan extract (TLE) from Trachelospermi Caulis at 280 nm, including nortracheloside, tracheloside, nortrachelogenin, trachelogenin, and arctigenin. The method demonstrated good linearity for each lignan within their respective ranges, with precision, stability, and repeatability meeting the criteria for quantitative analysis. Tracheloside, the most abundant compound in the TLE, effectively inhibited the release of inflammatory factors IL-6 and IL-17, and suppressed the migration MH7A cells in vitro.

Trachelospermi caulis is used widely as an herbal medicine in oriental countries to attenuate fever and pain. We wished to reveal the novel function of this herb and its active component on barrier function in intestinal epithelial cells. Monolayers of intestinal epithelial cells (Caco-2) were used to evaluate the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and quantity of permeated ovalbumin (OVA) as indices of barrier function.

The molecular constituents of Cirsium brachycephalum fruits were identified, quantified and isolated for the first time. The lignan glycoside tracheloside was the main compound, which was transformed quantitatively into its aglycone trachelogenin by endogenous enzymatic treatment of the fruit. Following this transformation by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) hyphenated with UV and mass spectrometry (MS) detections on a quantitative basis, the enzyme-hydrolyzed fruit was found to be the richest raw material containing trachelogenin (17.
