Typical and atypical metabolic characteristics of three iridaceae isoflavone components: in vitro and in silico studies by Jifeng Gu, Jifeng Gu, Huishan Zhang, Mei Wang, Yuyang Zhou, Yuyang Zhou, Zhipeng Deng, Rong Shi

“…Tectorigenin, irigenin, and irisflorentin have been recognized as important quality indicators in Shegan. However, the metabolic characteristics of isoflavone aglycones remain unclear.MethodsIn this study, human liver microsomes (HLMs) and Cytochrome P450 (CYP) recombinant enzymes were used to study the metabolic stability, identify the metabolic pathways and enzyme kinetics of these three components, and elucidate their possible binding sites through molecular docking.ResultsWhen tectorigenin, irigenin, and irisflorentin were co-incubated with HLMs and CYP recombinant enzymes, hydroxylation metabolite for tectorigenin, demethylated metabolite for irigenin, and 6,7-dihydroxy-5,3′,4′,5′-tetramethoxy isoflavone originating from irisflorentin were identified. …”

Investigation in blood-brain barrier integrity and susceptibility to immune cell penetration in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome by Cristina Alonso, Alicia García-Culebras, Valentina Satta, Inés Hernández-Fisac, Álvaro Sierra, José A. Guimaré, Ignacio Lizasoain, Javier Fernández-Ruiz, Onintza Sagredo

“…The elevated number of blood neutrophils did not apparently originate their infiltration into the hippocampus of DS mice as an immunofluorescence analysis indicated, and the same happened in B- and T-cells. However, the levels of endogenous IgG in this brain structure were significantly elevated in DS mice compared to controls, directly indicating the occurrence of extravasation into the brain parenchyma and indirectly that the BBB in DS mice may be relatively affected, a fact confirmed by the reduction in the levels of BBB-related proteins such as ZO-1 in these mice. …”
