One of the most common chronic conditions of peptic ulcer is gastric ulcer (GU), which is recognized as a high-risk illness in the present-day lifestyle. Originating from Asia and Europe, Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) is packed with high amounts of bioactive compounds like betanin and phenolics. These contribute to its nutritional value and overall health benefits. In this work, varying concentrations (0.5% to 7% w/v) of beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) were used to improve the efficiency of extracting beetroot components with water, using both stirring and ultrasound techniques. The presence of 5% (w/v) HP-β-CD during extraction appeared the maximum values of total phenolic compounds and betanin (3.1 mcg/mL and 3.01 mg/mL, respectively). The extraction recoveries of betanin at 5% (w/v) HP-β-CD emerging with magnetic stirring were 73%, 36% and 50% against water, ethanol and β-CD, respectively. The reproducibility of extraction procedure was found to be 0.86% relative standard deviation (RSD) indicating the highest precision of the beetroot modified HP-β-CD extraction procedure. Then, rats that had been treated with either HP-β-CD-modified aqueous extract of beetroot, omeprazole (20 mg/kg, orally administered) or both were studied to assess whether they helped reduce ethanol-induced GU. The combined treatment of HP-β-CD modified beetroot extract with omeprazole brought a significant decrease in the increased levels of serum oxidative stress malonaldehyde and nitric oxide, inflammatory markers myeloperoxidase, interleukin-10, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α. It also restored the decreased levels of antioxidant glutathione and cyclo-protective prostaglandin E2 in comparison to the positive control. Furthermore, the proposed combination of beetroot-modified aqueous extract and omeprazole exhibited less severe histopathological damage in comparison to the positive control. Therefore, a novel synergistic pharmaceutical treatment using HP-β-CD modified aqueous extract of beetroot and omeprazole was presented to enhance GU healing.
消化性溃疡最常见的慢性病之一是胃溃疡(GU),在当今生活方式中它被视为一种高危疾病。甜菜根(Beta vulgaris L.)原产于亚洲和欧洲,富含大量生物活性化合物,如甜菜红素和酚类物质。这些成分赋予了它营养价值和整体健康益处。在这项研究中,使用了不同浓度(0.5%至7% w/v)的β-环糊精(β-CD)和羟丙基-β-环糊精(HP-β-CD),通过搅拌和超声技术来提高用水提取甜菜根成分的效率。提取过程中5%(w/v)HP-β-CD的存在使总酚类化合物和甜菜红素的含量达到最大值(分别为3.1 mcg/mL和3.01 mg/mL)。在磁力搅拌下,5%(w/v)HP-β-CD时甜菜红素相对于水、乙醇和β-CD的提取回收率分别为73%、36%和50%。发现提取过程的重现性相对标准偏差(RSD)为0.86%,表明甜菜根改性HP-β-CD提取方法具有最高的精度。然后,对用HP-β-CD改性的甜菜根水提取物、奥美拉唑(20 mg/kg,口服)或两者处理过的大鼠进行研究,以评估它们是否有助于减轻乙醇诱导的胃溃疡。HP-β-CD改性甜菜根提取物与奥美拉唑联合治疗使血清氧化应激丙二醛和一氧化氮水平升高、炎症标志物髓过氧化物酶、白细胞介素-10、白细胞介素-6和肿瘤坏死因子-α显著降低。与阳性对照相比,它还恢复了抗氧化剂谷胱甘肽和环保护前列腺素E2降低的水平。此外,与阳性对照相比,所提出的甜菜根改性水提取物和奥美拉唑的组合表现出较轻的组织病理学损伤。因此,提出了一种使用HP-β-CD改性甜菜根水提取物和奥美拉唑的新型协同药物治疗方法,以促进胃溃疡的愈合。
