Embodiment 1
[0025] Example 1 , preparation of shikonin and its derivatives
[0026] Weigh 20kg of Sichuan Mihua Dianzicao (commercially available), grind it and pass it through a 20-mesh sieve, collect the Comfrey powder obtained after sieving, and carry out normal temperature percolation extraction with 95% ethanol until the extract is nearly colorless .
[0027] Combine the extracts, concentrate under reduced pressure until the solution turns purple, add 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the concentrated solution volume 2% NaOH to the concentrated solution until the solution changes from purple to blue.
[0028] After removing the insoluble matter by filtration, add concentrated HCl to acidify the solution until the solution changes from blue to purple, at this time a large amount of precipitates are formed, and stand overnight.
[0029] The precipitate was collected and washed with distilled water until neutral. The precipitate was dried and about 250 g of crude product was harvested as a powdery soli...
Embodiment 2
[0031] Example 2 , shikonin and its derivatives directly act on RXRα
[0032] Using the shikonin and its derivatives prepared in Example 1, respectively treat the RXRα-GST protein synthesized in vitro or in bacteria, and use ligand competition binding experiments to study the relationship between shikonin and its derivatives and RXRα receptors role relationship.
[0033] In the presence or absence of the test compound (i.e. shikonin and its derivatives described in Example 1), with [ 3 H] isotopically labeled [ 3 H]9cis-RA was incubated with RXRα protein at 4°C. Among them, 9cis-RA is a strong endogenous ligand of RXRα, so it can be used as a positive control.
[0034] After 24 hours, GST-agarose was added and placed at room temperature for 1 hour, washed three times with PBS, and the combination of the test compound and RXRα was analyzed with a liquid scintillation analyzer, and the results were as follows: figure 1 shown.
[0035] according to figure 1 As shown, RXRα...
Embodiment 3
[0037] Example 3 , Shikonin and its derivatives regulate the transcriptional activity of RXRα
[0038] CV-1 cells (ATCC, CCL-70) were taken and cultured overnight in a 24-well tissue culture plate.
[0039] The overnight cultured CV-1 cells were transfected with RXRα and (TREpal) 2 -tk-CAT or βRARE-tk-CAT, wherein β-gal is used as an internal control.
[0040] After 24 hours of transfection, the medium was changed, and in the presence of compounds known to up-regulate RXRα transcriptional activity, such as 9cis-RA, with or without the addition of test compounds (i.e., shikonin and its derivatives described in Example 1) to Treat cells. After 20 h, the cells were lysed with RLB (reporter lysis buffer, purchased from Promega), and then, according to the method in the product manual, the β-gal value and CAT value of the lysate were measured, and the relative value was obtained by dividing the CAT value by the β-gal value. The transcriptional activity value of , the experimen...
