The flavonoid from Polygonum perfoliatum L. inhibits herpes simplex virus 1 infection.[Pubmed: 25518720]

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is one of the most prevalent human pathogens in both industrialized and developing countries. This study was performed to analyze the antiviral activity of purified flavonoid from Polygonum perfoliatum L. against HSV-1 infection in vitro and in vivo. Flavonoid showed no inhibitory effect, when treated before virus infection, but it strongly inhibited viral replication and cell-to-cell spread which was vital for the virus's propagation. The therapeutic effect of the flavonoid in treating HSV-1 induced encephalitis was also investigated in mice. A dose-dependent increase of survival rate and mean survival time (MST) were observed in the flavonoid-treated mice. These results suggested that the flavonoid may be a viable therapeutic option for recurrent HSV-1 infection.

Simultaneous determination of esculetin, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide, quercetin-3-O-β -D-glucuronopyranside methyl ester and quercetin in effective part of Polygonum Perfoliatum L. using high performace liquid chromatography.[Pubmed: 25210326]

In the present study, a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with photodiode array detection was developed for simultaneous quantitation of esculetin, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide, quercetin-3-O-β-D- glucuronopyranoside methyl ester and quercetin in Polygonum perfoliatum L.

A new lignan with anti-tumour activity from Polygonum perfoliatum L.[Pubmed: 22533633]

The methanol extract of the tubers of Polygonum perfoliatum L. afforded a new lignan: 8-oxo-pinoresinol (1), and five known compounds 3',5-dihydroxy-3,4',5',7-tetramethoxy-flavone (2), catechin (3), quercetin (4), quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide (5) and rutin (6). Their structures were established by MS, one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments. Compound 1 showed cytotoxicity against human mammary carcinoma (Bcap-37), human colon carcinoma (RKO), human hepatocellular carcinoma (SMMC-7721), human prostate carcinoma (PC3) and human erythroleukaemia (K562) cells.

Anti-inflammatory, antiviral and quantitative study of quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide in Polygonum perfoliatum L.[Pubmed: 21570451]

Quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide, isolated from Polygonum perfoliatum L., was evaluated by antiviral efficacy against influenza A virus and anti-inflammatory activity in vivo in mouse, and it was used for quality evaluation of P. perfoliatum L.. In vivo study, oral administration of quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide significantly suppressed ear edema induced by dimethyl benzene and peritoneal permeability induced by acetic acid in mice, and quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide also showed to possess inhibitory activity against influenza A virus (FLUAV). In the present study, additionally, a rapid, simple and sensitive method for quantitative analysis of quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide in P. perfoliatum L. was developed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with photodiode array detection. The separation was carried out on a Lichrosher-C18 column (250 mm × 4.6mm, 5 μm) together with a C18 guard column at isocratic elution systems of methanol (A) and 0.05% aqueous phosphoric acid (B) (43:57, v/v) with detection wavelength at 258 nm and column temperature at 30°C. The method was validated for linearity, repeatability, limit of quantification (LOQ), precision and robustness. The contents of quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide in 28 samples from different regions of China were between 0.06% and 2.09%. The developed analytical method was applied to investigate P. perfoliatum L. and for quality control of the herb.

Neoflavonoids from Polygonum perfoliatum.[Pubmed: 17260292]

Four neoflavonoids, 3,4-dihydro-4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxycoumarin (1), 3,4-dihydro-5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-4-(4'-methoxyphenyl)coumarin (2), 3,4-dihydro-5-hydroxy-4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-7-methoxycoumarin (3), and 3,4-dihydro-5,7-dihydroxy-4-(4'-methoxyphenyl)coumarin (4), were isolated from the whole plant of Polygonum perfoliatum. Neoflavonoids 1, 2, and 4 were known compounds, but 3 is a new member of this class.
