Effects of Flavonoids Isolated From Orange Jasmine (Murraya Paniculata [L.] Jack.) on Histamine Release From Mast Cells
Murraya paniculata [L.] Jack. (Kemuning) is a plant that grows widely in some areas of Indonesia. Studies related to this plant have been widely explored especially isolation of its active compounds. The plant contents several active compounds such as flanovoids. In the study, three flavonoid isolated from M. paniculata were evaluated for their effect on histamine release from mast cells (RBL-2H3 cells). These compounds were 3,3',4',5,5',6,7,8-octamethoxyflavone; 3,3',4',5,5',6,7-heptamethoxyflavone and 3, 3', 4', 5, 5', 7–hexamethoxyflavone. The histamine inducers used in the study were DNP24-BSA dan thapsigargin, inducing the histamine release immunologically and non-immunologically, respectively. In the study, heptamethoxyflavone and hexamethoxyflavone did not influence the histamine release from mast cells significantly. However, octamethoxyflavone could increase the histamine release from RBL-2H3 cells in absence and presence the histamine inducers. The flavanoid could increase the release of histamine up to 50 %. Based on the results, polymethoxy moieties at the structure of flavonoid have a significant role to emerge the histamine-release stimulating effect from mast cells
The cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects of gamavuton-0 in rat basophilic Leukemia cells
Gamavuton-0 (GVT-0), also named as 1,5-bis(4’-hydroxy-3’- methoxyphenyl)-1,4-pentadiene-3 one is a 1,5-diphenyl-1,4-pentadiene-3-one analog of curcumin by modifying the center site of curcumin leading to 1,4-pentadiene-3-ones to maintain the hydroxy moiety at aromatic rings which are responsible for its biological activities. Curcumin has been reported to have potent anticarcinogenic effects. Besides, curcumin was found to induce apoptosis in human Leukemia cells. In our study, we investigated the cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects of gamavuton-0 in rat basophilic leukemia cells. Cell viability was determined by WST-1 assay. In brief, tetrazolium salts were cleaved to formazan by cellular enzymes of viable cells, determined by colorimetric methods with a microplate (ELISA) reader at 450 nm.In the present study, we evaluated cytotoxic and proliferative effects of GVT-0 in rat basophilic leukemia cells. In the study, GVT-0 induced rat basophilic leukemia cells death in a dose dependent manner after overnight incubation. GVT-0 also impaired the content of histamine and b-hexoaminidase enzyme in cells. However, the cytotoxic effect of GVT-0 (IC50 : 43,67 mM) was less potent than this of curcumin (IC50 : 29,14 mM). GVT-0 (1 mM) also showed a significant inhibition of cell growth after 48 and 72 hr. Its fact indicates that GVT-0 could prolong the cells doubling time. These results provide useful information to guide the development of new synthetic compounds for the treatment of cancer diseases.Key words : gamavuton-0, curcumin, cancer, cytotoxic, antiproliferative
Effects of pentagamavunon-0 on histaminemediated hyperresponsive airway in asthmatic models : in-vitro in-vivo
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease involving reversible airway constriction and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to allergens, airway edema, and increased mucus secretion tumor cells. To date, exploration of antiasthmatic drug is still being studied both from natural products or sinthetic processes. One of the sinthetic compound is pentagamavunon-0 (PGV-0) which possesses anti-inflammatory and inhibitory effects on histamine release from rat mast cells. The aim of the study is to look at the effects of PGV-0 on histaminemediated hyperresponsive airway in asthmatic models (in vitro and in vivo studies). In vitro study was conducted using isolated organ technique with isotonic transducer. The results have shown that PGV-0 could not inhibit the contraction of isolated guinea pig trachea induced by histamine. PGV-0 did not change the pD2 and Emax values of histamine on trachea smooth muscle. The finding indicates that PGV-0 does not have affinity and intrinsic activity on H-1 histaminergic receptor in trachea smooth muscle. In vivo study, we sensitized the rats with ovalbumin (OVA) to develop the airway hyperreactivity to histamine. Histamine level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and airway tissue were determined using HPLC-fluorometry. Multiple exposures of ovalbumin significantly histamine level in BALF by 74.51±5.33 pmol/mL or 6-times higher than this of control saline group. Oral administration of PGV-0 (40 mg/kg BW) significantly decreased the histamine accumulation in BALF to 30 % of the value of control group in asthmatic rats. Besides, PGV-0 significantly prevented the histamine decrease in asthmatic rats to 37.8 % trachea, and 34.2 % in bronchus. However, PGV-0 did not succeed to prevent the histamine decrease in the lung of asthmatic rats. The result of the study may provide useful information for further discovering pharmacological synthetic compound for treatment of allergic inflammatory asthma.Key words: asthma, curcumin, pentamavunon-0, histamine, airway hyperresponsiveness
Inhibitory effect of THPGV-0 on the histamine release from antigen-induced RBL-2H3 cells
Tetrahydropentagamavunon-0 (THPGV-0) is assumed to be main metabolite product of biotransformation process of PGV-0. THPGV-0 was synthesized by converting PGV-0 to the compound by hydrogenation with Pd/C as a catalyst. PGV-0 potently inhibited the histamine release from rat mast cells in vitro and in vivo, however, ironically only traces amount of compound was found in the blood. THPGV-0 is assumed to have important roles in the biological effects of PGV-0 in vivo. In present study, we investigated the antiallergy effect of THPGV-0 in compare to this of PGV-0 in vitro. The study was performed by using rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cell line, a tumor analog of mucosal mast cells. DNP-BSA, an antigen, was used as an inducer for stimulating the histamine release from mast cells. In present study, THPGV-0 at low concentration did not succeed to inhibit the histamine release, but at higher concentration (30 and 100 M) showed strong effects. THPGV-0 at concentration of 100 M depleted the histamine release by 96.10 0.51%. In compare to PGV-0, THPGV-0 has higher efficacy but less potent. In the study, the possibilities of the spontaneous release from RBL-2H3 cells by the compounds were also observed. All concentrations of THPGV-0 as well as PGV-0 showed low spontaneous histamine release, less than 10 % of the total histamine contained in RBL-2H3 cells.Key words: tetrahydropentagamavunon-0, allergy, histamine, RBL-2H3 cell
Natrium Kromolin, Obat Penghambat Degranulasi Sel Mast, Lebih Efektif terhadap Sel Mast Jaringan Ikat Dibanding Sel Mast Mukosa
Cromolyn sodium is an antiallergy drug that acts by inhibiting mast cells degranulation responsible for the release of histamine, a mediator for this disease. Moreover, cromolyn sodium is used as a first line drug in asthmatic therapy. However, cromolyn sodium did not always show the inhibition effects on histamine release from mast cells in all allergy experiment models. The aim of present study was to reconfirm the effect of cromolyn sodium on the histamine release from RBL-2H3 cells line induced by DNP24-BSA as an antigen, and compare to it’s positive effect on active cutaneous anaphylaxis model induced by ovalbumin as an antigen. The results showed that cromolyn sodium did not inhibit the histamine release from RBL-2H3 cells line induced by DNP24-BSA significantly, but inhibited active cutaneous anaphylactic reaction induced by ovalbumin significantly.Natrium kromolin merupakan obat antialergi yang bekerja melalui penghambatan degranulasi sel mast dalam melepaskan histamin sebagai mediator pada penyakit alergi. Bahkan pada terapi penyakit asma, obat tersebut digunakan sebagai obat lini pertama. Namun demikian, pada beberapa model alergi natrium kromolin tidak semua menunjukkan efek penghambatan pelepasan histamin dari sel mast. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan konfirmasi pengaruh natrium kromolin terhadap pelepasan histamin dari sel RBL-2H3 yang diinduksi oleh DNP24-BSA, untuk kemudian dibandingkan dengan pengaruh positifnya pada model alergi reaksi anafilaksis kutaneus aktif diinduksi ovalbumin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa natrium kromolin tidak menunjukkan efek penghambatan secara bermakna terhadap pelepasan histamin dari sel RBL-2H3 diinduksi DNP24-BSA, namun mampu menghambat secara bermakna reaksi anafilaksis kutaneus yg diperantarai pelepasan histamin, yang diinduksi ovalbumin

Murraya paniculata [L.] Jack. merupakan tanaman yang tumbuh di Indonesia, dikenal dengan nama Kemuning. Penelitian mengenai tanaman ini telah banyak dilakukan, terutama isolasi senyawa aktifnya. Tanaman ini mempunyai kandungan senyawa aktif, diantaranya senyawa turunan flavonoid. Pada penelitian, tiga senyawa flavonoid yang diisolasi dari M. paniculata diuji aktivitasnya terhadap pelepasan histamin dari kultur sel mast yaitu sel RBL-2H3. Ketiga senyawa tersebut adalah 3,3’,4’,5,5’,7–heksametoksiflavon; 3,3’,4’,5,5’,6,7-heptametoksiflavon; dan 3,3’,4’,5,5’,6,7,8-oktametoksiflavon. Induktor pelepasan histamin yang digunakan adalah DNP24-BSA dan thapsigargin. Keduanya berturut-turut menginduksi secara imunologis dan non-imunologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa senyawa heptametoksiflavon dan heksametoksiflavon cenderung tidak mempengaruhi pelepasan histamin dari sel mast. Namun, oktametoksiflavon dapat meningkatkan pelepasan histamin dari sel mast baik tanpa induksi maupun terinduksi dengan DNP24-BSA atau thapsigargin. Senyawa tersebut mampun meningkatkan pelepasan histamin hingga 50%. Dari hasil tersebut, penambahan gugus polimetoksi pada struktur flavonoid berpotensi dapat menghasilkan efek pelepasan histamin dari sel mast.
Comparison of Cytotoxic and Antiproliferative Effects of Benzylidenecyclopentanone Analogues of Curcumin on RBL-2H3 Cells
Curcumin is a natural yellow pigment isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa L. (turmeric), and has several pharmacological effects and no toxicity in both in animal and human clinical study. However, the problem of curcumin is its stability because of its active methylene moiety. Modification of this moiety to cyclopentanone is expected to increase the stability. Previous study reported that benzylidenecyclopentanone analogues of curcumin showed inhibitory effect on histamine release from RBL-2H3 (rat basophilic leukemia) cells, a tumor analog of mast cells. One of them, the hydroxy-methoxy analog (PGV-0), showed more potent effect than that of curcumin. In the present study, some benzylidenecyclopentanone analogues of curcumin were evaluated for their effects on the viability and proliferation of RBL-2H3 cells. Viable cells were counted under a light microscope with a cells-counting chamber or using the cell viability reagent WST-1. The results showed that mast cell viability and histamine content were not affected by curcumin and benzylidene cyclopentanone for 30 min incubation, however, impaired for overnight incubation. The hydroxy-dimethyl benzylidene analog (PGV-1) strongly decreased the mast cells viability for overnight incubation, and its effect was highest among the other analogues. In the proliferation study, this compound also strongly inhibited the proliferation of mast cells, whereas curcumin and hydroxy-methoxy benzylidene analog inhibited the proliferation slightly. There were no inhibitory effects on mast cells proliferation treated by dibenzylidene; dihydroxybenzylidene; and hydroxy-diethylbenzylidene cyclopentanone.
