Asiasarum root (roots and rhizome of Asiasarum sieboldii or A. heterotropoides var. mandshuricum) has been frequently used in traditional Chinese medicinal formulas for the management of oral malodor syndrome caused by periodontal disease. However, there are no scientific reports concerning these effects and the mechanism of action. The objective of this study was to examine the inhibitory effects of Asiasarum root and its constituents on oral malodor syndrome and periodontal disease. A 50% ethanolic extract of Asiasarum root (AR-ext) showed L-methionine γ-lyase (METase) inhibitory activity at a concentration of 200 µg/mL, and inhibited interleukin (IL)-1β-stimulated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 secretion from human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) at a concentration of 10 and 50 µg/mL without cytotoxic effects. Activity-guided fractionation of the AR-ext suggested that METase inhibitory activity was attributable to a mixture of linoleic and oleic acid, because these unsaturated fatty acids showed weak METase inhibitory activities. Similar fractionation using MMP-1 secretion inhibitory activity led to the isolation of two unsaturated fatty acid amides, (2E,4E,8Z,10E)-N-(2-methylpropyl)dodeca-2,4,8,10-tetraenamide (1) and (2E,4E,8Z,10Z)-N-(2-methylpropyl)dodeca-2,4,8,10-tetraenamide (2), as active constituents with inhibitory activity on MMP-1 secretion from HGFs. To elucidate the inhibition mechanism on MMP-1 secretion, the effect of 2 on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation was examined. Western blotting analysis revealed that 2 (10 µM) reduced the phosphorylation of p38 and c-Jun-N-terminal kinase. These results suggested that 2 suppresses intracellular MMP-1 expression and MMP-1 secretion from IL-1β-stimulated HGFs by down-regulation of MAPK phosphorylation.
细辛根(Asiasarum sieboldii或A. heterotropoides var. mandshuricum的根和根茎)在传统中药方剂中常用于治疗由牙周病引起的口腔异味综合征。然而,目前尚缺乏关于这些效果及其作用机制的科学报告。本研究旨在探讨细辛根及其成分对口腔异味综合征和牙周病的抑制作用。细辛根的50%乙醇提取物(AR-ext)在200 µg/mL浓度下显示出L-蛋氨酸γ-裂解酶(METase)抑制活性,并在10和50 µg/mL浓度下抑制人牙龈成纤维细胞(HGFs)中白细胞介素(IL)-1β刺激的基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)-1的分泌,且无细胞毒性作用。活性导向的AR-ext分级分离表明,METase抑制活性归因于亚油酸和油酸的混合物,因为这些不饱和脂肪酸显示出较弱的METase抑制活性。类似的利用MMP-1分泌抑制活性的分级分离,得到了两种不饱和脂肪酸酰胺,即(2E,4E,8Z,10E)-N-(2-甲基丙基)十二碳-2,4,8,10-四烯酰胺(1)和(2E,4E,8Z,10Z)-N-(2-甲基丙基)十二碳-2,4,8,10-四烯酰胺(2),它们作为活性成分具有抑制HGFs中MMP-1分泌的作用。为了阐明对MMP-1分泌的抑制机制,研究了2对丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)磷酸化的影响。Western blot分析显示,2(10 µM)减少了p38和c-Jun氨基末端激酶的磷酸化。这些结果表明,2通过下调MAPK磷酸化,抑制了IL-1β刺激的HGFs中细胞内MMP-1表达和MMP-1的分泌。
