EPs7630(®) a water alcohol extract of the roots from Pelargonium sidoides contains several secondary metabolites including highly oxygenated coumarins, various phenolics and polyphenols. Using the DPPH assay to measure antioxidant activity a free radical scavenging activity of 14.7±0.85μg/ml (IC50) was determined. As an in vivo model Caenorhabditis elegans was applied to study the effect of EPs7630(®) on stress resistance. EPs7630(®) treatment reduces intracellular hsp-16.2::GFP expression (induced by the pro-oxidant juglone) indicating that the secondary metabolites of EPs7630(®) are bioavailable and exhibit antioxidant activities in vivo. Application of EPs7630(®) (50μg/ml) to the transgenic mutant TJ356 induced the migration of the transcription factor DAF-16 from cytosol to the nucleus, suggesting a prominent role of DAF-16/FOXO in the daf-2 pathway for stress resistance.
EPs7630(®)是一种来自香叶天竺葵根的水醇提取物,含有多种次生代谢产物,包括高度氧化的香豆素、各种酚类和多酚类。使用DPPH法测定抗氧化活性,确定其自由基清除活性为14.7±0.85μg/ml(IC50)。作为体内模型,应用秀丽隐杆线虫来研究EPs7630(®)对抗逆性的影响。EPs7630(®)处理降低了细胞内热休克蛋白-16.2::GFP的表达(由促氧化剂胡桃醌诱导),表明EPs7630(®)的次生代谢产物具有生物利用度,并在体内表现出抗氧化活性。将EPs7630(®)(50μg/ml)应用于转基因突变体TJ356可诱导转录因子DAF-16从细胞质迁移到细胞核,表明DAF-16/FOXO在daf-2抗逆途径中起重要作用。
