Application of prunella vulgaris volatile oil in preparation of medicine for treating hysteromyoma
Technical Field
The invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine extract, in particular to application of selfheal volatile oil in treating hysteromyoma.
Background
Prunella vulgaris L, which is known as withered after summer. The Prunella plants have upright stems with four edges, opposite single leaves, lip-shaped corolla, strong stamen, 2 carpels, 4 small nuts, a flowering period of 4-6 months and a fruit period of 7-10 months, and mainly grow on sparse forests, barren mountains, ridges and roadside roads. The self-heal has been applied in China for thousands of years, half-dry clusters are generally used as medicines in summer, and the self-heal is recorded in the book of the earliest existing pharmaceutical monograph 'Shennong herbal Jing' in China: prunellae Spica is bitter and pungent in flavor and cold in nature, and has the symptoms of scrofula, murine fistula, head trauma, laceration, goiter, beriberi, foot swelling, damp arthralgia and weight loss. One sunset, one jingdong. Raw Sichuan valley ". (Sun Feng Yi, Shennong Ben Cao Jing, inner Mongolia: inner Mongolian people's publishing house, 2006.) thereafter, the Chinese ancient herbal has collected the selfheal, and the effect of single drug administration is significant, for example, Taiping Shenghui Fang, Ben Cao gang mu and Ben Cao gang mu Shi Yi. Since the 1963 edition of pharmacopeia, the ancient pharmacopeia of China has collected selfheal, and the medicinal part is definitely half-dried or mature fruit cluster (the Chinese pharmacopeia, the Chinese pharmaceutical science and technology publisher, 2015.). Moreover, the selfheal is also one of the first medical and edible traditional Chinese medicines published by Ministry of health, and is safe and reliable.
The traditional effects of selfheal are clearing heat, improving eyesight, reducing swelling and dissipating stagnation. Aiming at the traditional efficacy, a series of researches are carried out, and the traditional Chinese medicine composition has the efficacies of resisting virus, resisting bacteria, resisting inflammation, resisting oxidation, resisting tumor, reducing blood pressure, reducing blood sugar and the like (Liuyue and the like, the research progress of the chemical components and the biological activity of the selfheal, J, Shenyang pharmaceutical university report, 2003, 20(1): 55-59.).
The main components of the prunella spike volatile oil are aliphatic compounds such as 1, 6-cyclodecanone diene, hexadecanoic acid, hexadecane and the like (Tianjing and the like, the structural identification of the prunella spike saponin A [ J ] in the pharmaceutical science report, 2000, 35(1): 29-31.). It was found that, from Prunella vulgaris, 40 volatile oil Compounds, mainly aliphatic aldehydes and alcohols, aromatic aldehydes, and small amounts of sesquiterpenes and monoterpene hydrocarbons were identified by GC-MS analysis, in which (E, E) -2, 4-heptadienal and phenylacetaldehyde were the main components and the contents were 17.8% and 13.2%, respectively (Jerkovic I, et al. phytochemical composition of the scientific of the cellular grandiflora [ J ]. Chemistry of Natural Compounds, 2013, 49(2): 371.). The method comprises the steps of extracting ursolic acid from prunella vulgaris clusters by using a supercritical carbon dioxide fluid extraction technology, and determining the content of the ursolic acid in an extract by using a high performance liquid chromatography (Jiansheng rock, Penchu peach, Zhao Liang Zhong, and the like, research on the supercritical extraction of the ursolic acid from the prunella vulgaris clusters [ J ]. Shaoyang academy of academic (Nature science edition), 2010, 7(1): 48-52.).
The spica prunellae volatile oil compounds enable plants to have strong aromatic odor and have the effects of sterilization, disinfection, analgesia, antivirus and the like (Yuandong plum, Yangyuan silk, Yan Shicai, the study on the chemical components of the pistacia chinensis bunge leaf volatile oil [ J ] the northwest plant bulletin, 2005, 25(12): 2539-2542.). Ursolic Acid and oleanolic Acid In volatile oil active ingredients of Prunella vulgaris have effects of inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and inducing Apoptosis, thereby achieving anti-tumor effect (Wang X, et al. Ursolic Acid inhibition and Apoptosis of Cancer Cells In Vitro and In Vivo [ J ]. Journal of Biomedicine & Biotechnology, 2011, 2011(1): 419343; Shuyu M H, Kao T C, Yen G C.Oleanolic Acid and Ursolic Acid index Apoptosis In H7 Humanopatocellular Carcinoma Cells through Mitochia drial-dependen Pathway and downlink regulation of Down [ J. Journal of Agricultural Chemistry & chemical 6110): 2010 (58). Besides ursolic acid and oleanolic acid, the prunella vulgaris volatile oil also has other triterpenoids and saponin compounds thereof with obvious anti-tumor effect: the total triterpenes and phenolic acids after the selfheal purification can obviously inhibit the growth of SPC-A-1 cells and tumors and show that the lung cancer resistance is realized by the synergistic effect of a plurality of compounds (Feng L, et al. combination of active components industries of lung cancer [ J ] Molecules, 2010, 15(11): 7893) 7906.).
The study on the prunella vulgaris volatile oil mainly focuses on the study on the aspects of antibiosis, anti-inflammation and the like, but the study on the aspect of tumor resistance is not deep enough; although the treatment of the hysteromyoma has the means of medicament treatment, operation treatment, interventional therapy and the like, the side effects of the means are great, and the female reproductive health is greatly influenced. Therefore, it is highly desirable to provide a safe and effective drug for treating uterine fibroids.

TABLE 2 inhibition of proliferation of uterine leiomyoma cells by volatile oil of Prunella Spica
The cell proliferation inhibition rate was 100% (1-drug group a (490 nm)/blank control group a (490nm) × 100%.
The IC of the selfheal volatile oil which acts on the human uterine leiomyoma cells for 24 hours is measured by the experimental data of tumor inhibition rate and the SPSS18.0502.61 mg/mL; IC acting for 48h502.48 mg/mL; function for 72h IC501.94 mg/mL. Prunellae Spica volatile oil IC with toxicity on uterine leiomyoma cells50The concentration is far lower than that of human uterine smooth muscle cell IC50(4.58mg/mL), which shows that the toxicity of the selfheal volatile oil concentration causing the death of the uterine leiomyoma cells to normal uterine smooth muscle cells is very low, and the inhibition rate of the uterine leiomyoma cells is increased along with the increase of the concentration of the selfheal volatile oil.
The invention sets the concentration gradient (0, 0.25 × IC) of the selfheal volatile oil50、0.5×IC50、0.75×IC50、1.0×IC50) After respectively acting on uterine leiomyoma cells for 24h, 48h and 72h, collecting the cellsThe apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry using FITC and PI double staining, and the results are shown in FIGS. 3 to 5.
As can be seen from figure 3, the prunella spike volatile oil has apoptosis induction effect on hysteromyoma cells after 24 hours of action, and the apoptosis rate is 0.25 × IC50=15.39%、0.5×IC50=21.41%、0.75×IC50=44.18%、1.0×IC5057.40%, the apoptosis effect is obvious.
As can be seen from figure 4, the prunella vulgaris volatile oil has apoptosis induction effect on hysteromyoma cells for 48h, and the apoptosis rate is 0.25 × IC50=18.08%、0.5×IC50=27.29%、0.75×IC50=37.76%、1.0×IC5064.06%, the apoptosis effect is obvious.
As can be seen from figure 5, the prunella vulgaris volatile oil has apoptosis inducing effect after 72h of action on hysteromyoma cells, and the apoptosis rate is 0.25 × IC50=20.98%、0.5×IC50=38.97%、0.75×IC50=50.75%、1.0×IC5078.39%, the apoptosis effect is obvious.
The invention sets the concentration gradient (0, 0.25 × IC) of the selfheal volatile oil50、0.5×IC50、0.75×IC50、1.0×IC50) After 24h, 48h and 72h of action on the uterine leiomyoma cells, the cells are collected, and the cell cycle is determined by a flow cytometer by adopting a PI single staining method, and the results are shown in figures 6-8.
After the prunella vulgaris volatile oil is acted on uterine leiomyoma cells for 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours, the proportion of the uterine leiomyoma cells in G0-G1 phases is obviously increased along with the increase of the concentration, which indicates that the prunella vulgaris volatile oil can block the cells in the G0-G1 phases, so that the cells can not enter the G2 phases for DNA synthesis, and finally the in-vitro proliferation of tumor cells is inhibited.
In conclusion, the prunella vulgaris volatile oil can inhibit the proliferation of the human uterine leiomyoma cell cycle by blocking the cell cycle of the human uterine leiomyoma in G0-G1; the anti-uterine leiomyoma effect is exerted by inducing apoptosis of human uterine leiomyoma cells.
