Effect of phenolic alkaloids from Menispermum dauricum on myocardial-cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits. (1/4)
AIM: To explore the mechanism underlying the effect of phenolic alkaloids from Menispermum dauricum (PAMd) on simultaneous myocardial-cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits. METHODS: Both left anterior descending coronary artery and bilateral carotid arteries were occluded to induce myocardial-cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits. At 30 min after ischemia, the occlusion was removed and shed blood was rapidly reinfused. Two mL of blood was taken fr om femoral artery at 10 min before ischemia, 1, 10, and 30 min after ischemia, and 1, 10, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 min after reperfusion. Each rabbit was sacrificed at the end of reperfusion, and left ventricle, hippocampus, cortex, and cerebellum were taken out. Malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were determined. RESULTS: At 10 min after reperfusion, MDA content in serum was significantly higher and SOD activity was lower in ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) group than those of control group (P < 0.05). After administration of PAMd, MDA content was lower and SOD activity was higher in serum than those of I-R group (P < 0.05). Both MDA content and SOD activity in tissues had the similar results with those in serum. CONCLUSION: PAMd could attenuate the injury induced by lipid peroxidation and enhance the activity of SOD, thus PAMd might play a protective role in simultaneous myocardial-cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

AIM: To study the combined pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) model of daurisoline and dauricine, and compare their effects on cardiac electrophsiology, blood pressure, and hemodynamics in beagle dogs. METHODS: The plasma drug concentration was determined by the reversed-phase HPLC method and the effects on cardiac and hemodynamics were recorded by polygraph. The pharmacokinetic and PK-PD model parameters were calculated. RESULTS: The pharmacokinetics were best fitted to a two-compartment open model, and the relationship between effect and effect compartment concentration of both drugs could be represented by the sigmoid-E(max) model. There were no significant differences in main pharmacokinetics and PK-PD parameters between the two drugs. CONCLUSION: No statistically different kinetic disposition characteristics and potencies of inhibitory effects on myocardial function of daurisoline and dauricine were found in beagle dogs.

Dechlorodauricumine (5) and dechloroacutumine (6) were converted to miharumine (7) and dechloroacutumidine (8), respectively, by a cell-free preparation from cultured roots of Menispermum dauricum in the presence of FAD. The structures of 7 and 8 were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses and chemical conversion.

(+info)"Menispermum" is a botanical term that refers to a genus of plants in the family Menispermaceae. These are woody climbing or trailing vines, native to North America and eastern Asia. Some people may use the term "Menispermum" to refer specifically to one species within this genus, Menispermum canadense, which is commonly known as Canadian moonseed.
However, it's important to note that "Menispermum" is not a medical term and does not have a specific medical definition. The plants in this genus contain various alkaloids and other compounds that may have pharmacological activity, but they are not widely used in modern medicine. In fact, some species of Menispermum can be toxic if ingested, so they should not be consumed without expert knowledge and caution.
