  •   Objective  To investigate the protective effect of the ethanol extract of Portulaca oleracea L. on acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride in mice, and to analyze its effective components.   Methods  80% ethanol purslane extract was centrifuged, vacuum distillated and vacuum dried into whole plant extract, supernatant extract and precipitated extract. Eighty ICR male mice were randomly divided into 8 groups: control group, liver injury model group, whole plant extract low-dose group, high-dose group, supernatant extract low-dose group, high-dose group, precipitation extract low-dose group, and high-dose group. After oral administration of distilled water or three kinds of purslane extract suspensions at different doses for 1 week, olive oil or CCl4 olive oil solution were injected subcutaneously respectively. After 16 hours, serum was collected to detect the levels of ALT, AST and IL-6 to evaluate the protective effect of purslane on acute liver injury. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) was used to analyze the effective components of purslane extract.   Results  Compared with the model group, the levels of serum AST, ALT and IL-6 in high-dose whole plant extract group were significantly reduced. The serum ALT level of mice in the high-dose precipitation extract group was significantly reduced (P<0.05). The serum IL-6 level was decreased, but there was no significant difference. There were no significant changes in the levels of serum AST, ALT and IL-6 in the other intervention groups. 15 main components such as malic acid, citric acid, leucine, isoleucine, adenosine, succinic acid, genistein, tyrosine and phenylalanine were identified by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS.   Conclusion  Purslane whole plant ethanol extract has hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects on CCl4 acute liver injury mice, which may be a combined effect of 15 active components.

  • 马齿苋(Portulaca oleracea L.)是一种药食两用植物,味酸、性寒,具有清热解毒、凉血消肿之功效。现代药理研究证实其有抗衰老、降血糖、降血脂、抗动脉粥样硬化,以及保肝护肝等方面的药理活性[1-2]。目前对马齿苋保肝护肝的有效成分还不甚了解。本研究进一步明确马齿苋提取物对四氯化碳致小鼠急性肝损伤具有保护作用,并通过超高效液相色谱-四极杆-飞行时间质谱(UPLC-Q-TOF/MS)技术分析马齿苋提取物的主要成分,采用电喷雾电离源正离子模式和负离子模式对色谱流出物进行检测,通过高分辨质谱分析结合相关文献鉴定出苹果酸、柠檬酸、亮氨酸、异亮氨酸、腺苷、琥珀酸、染料木素、酪氨酸、苯丙氨酸等15种主要成分。

    • 各组小鼠体重均呈上升趋势,各组体重差异无统计学意义(见图1),初步说明马齿苋提取物对小鼠生长没有明显的毒副作用。

    • 图2可见,与对照组相比,CCl4急性化学性肝损伤模型组血清ALT、AST水平显著升高(P<0.001),说明造模成功。与模型组相比,全草高剂量组小鼠血清AST、ALT水平显著降低(P<0.05,P<0.01);沉淀高剂量组小鼠血清ALT显著降低(P<0.05),AST水平有降低趋势但不具有统计学意义。

    • 马齿苋是一年生肉质草本植物,是常用的药食两用植物,已被列入“中国卫生部药食两用名单”,具有清热解毒、凉血消肿等功效,特别是在保肝抗炎方面具有较好的功效[2]

      CCl4是经典的化学性肝损伤动物模型的肝毒物,可破坏肝细胞膜,从而使胞浆内可溶性酶如ALT、AST等渗入血液中,并最终导致各种类型的肝细胞病变,甚至坏死[11]。正常肝内转氨酶的含量约为血中的100倍,1%的肝特异性细胞坏死即可使血清酶活性增加1倍。因此,转氨酶是肝细胞受损的敏感标志[12]。因而,血清中的ALT、AST水平的高低可以敏感地反映肝脏细胞膜的受损程度。

      本研究以CCl4诱导的急性肝损伤小鼠模型为研究对象,考察了马齿苋乙醇提取物的保肝抗炎作用,结果显示,高剂量马齿苋全草提取物可以显著降低CCl4导致的肝损伤和炎症。马齿苋沉淀提取物能够显著降低CCl4诱导的急性肝损伤小鼠血清ALT水平,对血清AST和IL-6水平有降低趋势但不具有统计学意义。马齿苋沉淀提取物对降低CCl4导致的肝损伤和炎症有一定效果,但效果不及全草提取物,说明马齿苋上清提取物可能也含有效成分,与沉淀提取物共同发挥保肝作用。因此,从本研究可以看出,马齿苋沉淀及上清中均存在保肝抗炎的有效成分,且沉淀提取物可能起主要作用,但马齿苋发挥保肝抗炎作用是沉淀与上清提取物中有效成分共同发挥的。中药是世界四大传统医药体系中理论最完整、医疗实践最丰富、疗效最确切的传统医药体系[13]。因为中药的复杂性,中药的药效机制研究一直是个难点。有学者归因于中药功效相关的多成分、多靶点、多环节之间组成的一个相互协同与制约的复杂网络[14]。笔者认为,与马齿苋全草提取物相比,沉淀提取物的抗炎保肝作用较差的原因可能是马齿苋的抗炎保肝作用是通过多成分、多靶点、多环节的相互协同作用实现的,且需维持一定的药物浓度才能显著性的发挥抗炎保肝作用。

      为了进一步分析马齿苋抗炎保肝作用的有效成分,本研究通过UPLC-Q-TOF/MS技术对该全草提取物进行分析和鉴定,初步发现约有15种主要化学成分。已研究发现,苹果酸、柠檬酸、琥珀酸为小分子有机酸,具有抗肿瘤、抑菌、抗血栓、抗病毒等作用[15];亮氨酸、异亮氨酸、酪氨酸、苯丙氨酸等氨基酸为营养增补剂;6,7-二羟基香豆素等化合物是自然界重要的天然有机化合物,具有抗菌、抗病毒、抗肿瘤等多种功效[16]。因而,马齿苋提取物能够发挥抗炎护肝作用可能是由以上主要化学成分共同作用的结果,具体的作用机制有待深入研究。
