智利的Aristoteliachilensis或“maqui”是智利的一种树,在马普切人的民间医学中用作治疗消化系统疾病的抗炎剂,发烧,和皮肤损伤。Maqui水果是黑浆果,被认为是“超级水果”,具有显着的潜在健康益处,被提升为抗氧化剂,心脏保护,和抗炎。Maqui叶含有非环烯醚萜类单萜吲哚生物碱,以前已被证明作用于烟碱乙酰胆碱受体,钾通道,和钙通道。这里,我们从麦片叶中分离出一种新的生物碱,现在叫做makomakinol,连同已知的生物碱aristoteline,Hobartine,和3-甲酰吲哚。此外,多酚槲皮素,咖啡酸乙酯,还有萜烯,二氢-β-紫罗兰酮和terpin水合物,也得到了。根据已报道的A.chilensis的镇痛和抗伤害性特性,特别是含有阿司他汀和霍巴汀醇的生物碱的粗混合物(PMID21585384),因此,我们评估了亚里士多德林和霍巴汀对NaV1.8的活性,NaV1.8是一种参与伤害感受的关键NaV亚型,使用自动全细胞膜片钳电生理学。Aristoteline和Hobartine均抑制Nav1.8,IC50为68±3µM和54±1µM,分别。Hobartine引起激活的电压依赖性的超极化偏移,而aristoteline并没有改变激活或失活的电压依赖性。这些生物碱对NaV通道的抑制活性可能有助于马普切人使用的马斯多德草的镇痛特性。
Aristotelia chilensis or \"maqui\" is a tree native to Chile used in the folk medicine of the Mapuche people as an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of digestive ailments, fever, and skin lesions. Maqui fruits are black berries which are considered a \"superfruit\" with notable potential health benefits, promoted to be an antioxidant, cardioprotective, and anti-inflammatory. Maqui leaves contain non-iridoid monoterpene indole alkaloids which have previously been shown to act on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, potassium channels, and calcium channels. Here, we isolated a new alkaloid from maqui leaves, now called makomakinol, together with the known alkaloids aristoteline, hobartine, and 3-formylindole. Moreover, the polyphenols quercetine, ethyl caffeate, and the terpenes, dihydro-β-ionone and terpin hydrate, were also obtained. In light of the reported analgesic and anti-nociceptive properties of A. chilensis, in particular a crude mixture of alkaloids containing aristoteline and hobartinol (PMID 21585384), we therefore evaluated the activity of aristoteline and hobartine on
NaV1.8, a key NaV isoform involved in nociception, using automated whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology. Aristoteline and hobartine both inhibited
Nav1.8 with an IC50 of 68 ± 3 µM and 54 ± 1 µM, respectively. Hobartine caused a hyperpolarizing shift of the voltage-dependence of the activation, whereas aristoteline did not change the voltage-dependence of the activation or inactivation. The inhibitory activity of these alkaloids on NaV channels may contribute to the reported analgesic properties of Aristotelia chilensis used by the Mapuche people.
