Dioscorea bulbifera L. (DB) is a traditional Chinese herb used in thyroid disease and cancer. However, the clinical use of DB remains a challenge due to its hepatotoxicity, which is caused, in part, by the presence of Diosbulbin B (DIOB), a toxin commonly found in DB extracts. As abnormal expression
BACKGROUND
Diosbulbin B (DB) is the main constituent of furano-norditerpenes in Dioscorea bulbifera Linn., which is widely distributed in China and was usually used as a remedy for sore throat, struma and tumor. Owing to its potential antitumor activity, DB has been considered as a promising
Three norclerodane diterpenoids, diosbulbins K-M, and one analogous enolglycoside, diosbulbinoside G, together with four norclerodane diterpenoids, diosbulbins B, E, F and G, were isolated from rhizomes of Dioscorea bulbifera. Their structures were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods,
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents in the tubers of Dioscorea bulbifera.
METHODS
Compounds were isolated and purified with silica gel, ODS and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, their structures were determined by using spectroscopic methods including MS and NMR.
RESULTS
Fourteen
The rhizome of Dioscorea bulbifera L. (DBL) is a popular traditional herb in the treatment of goiters, breast lumps, and tumors. Unfortunately, DBL can give rise to severe hepatotoxicity. More than 100 cases of liver injury, due to the usage of DBL in China, have been reported in the past
Eighteen compounds were isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of fresh tubers of Dioscorea bulbifera by column chromatography over silica gel,Sephadex LH-20, and ODS. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis as 6-hydroxy-2,10,10-trimethoxy-anthracen-9-one(1), diosgenin (2),
It is vital to monitor the holistic toxicokinetics of toxic Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) for safety. Although an integrated strategy based on the area under the curve (AUC) has been proposed to characterize the pharmacokinetic/toxicokinetic properties of CHMs, improvement is still needed. This
Diosbulbin-B (DB) was the main compound of Dioscorea bulbifera L, which was widely used for cancer treatment in Asia. However, the hepatotoxicity induced by high-dose DB seriously limited its possibility using for gastric cancer (GC) treatment in clinic. In this study, we found that DB inhibited GC
Aim: Diosbulbin B (DB) is a major diterpenoid compound found in Dioscorea bulbifera L, a traditional medicinal herb in China. Clinical reports have confirmed that Dioscorea bulbifera L. can induce significant hepatotoxicity. In this study, we showed that DB can induce
Diosbulbin B (DSB), a major component of herbal medicine Dioscorea bulbifera L. (DB), can be metabolized to an electrophilic intermediate, DSB-derived cis-enedial (DDE). DDE was suggested to contribute to the hepatotoxicity observed in experimental animals and humans after their exposure to DSB. Our
Diosbulbin B (DIOB), a furanoid, is a major constituent of herbal medicine Dioscorea bulbifera L. Exposure to DIOB caused liver injury in humans and experimental animals. The mechanisms of DIOB-induced hepatotoxicities remain unknown. The present study demonstrated that DIOB induced hepatotoxicities
The rhizome of Dioscorea bulbifera Linn, traditionally used to treat thyroid disease and cancer in China, is reported to induce serious liver injury during clinical practice. Diosbulbin B (DB), a diterpene lactone, has been found to be the main toxic compound in D. bulbifera. The present study aims
Due to extremely chemical complexity, identification of potential toxicity-related constituents from an herbal medicine (HM) still remains challenging. Traditional toxicity-guided separation procedure suffers from time- and labor-consumption and neglects the additive effect of multi-components. In
