Introduction Liuweizhiji Gegen-Sangshen beverage (LGS) is popular in China, which has been used for alleviating alcohol-mediated discomfort and preventing alcoholic liver disease (ALD). This consisted of six herbal components that are known as functional foods fruits. LGS rich polysaccharides, however, the activity quality evaluation LGS-derived polysaccharides remain unexplored. The purpose this study thus to establish a comprehensive control methodology assessment (LGSP) further explore anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory well prebiotic effect LGSP. Methods LGSP was extracted, followed by analysis molecular weight distribution, monosaccharide content structural characterization via integrating application high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone-HPLC (PMP-HPLC), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. anti-oxidation determined DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity total antioxidant capacity. anti-inflammation were assessed on RAW 264.7 cells. growth Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium bifidum adolescentis evaluated. Results results demonstrated had two distribution peaks, with average weights (6.569 ± 0.12) × 10 4 Da (4.641 0.30) Da. composed 8 monosaccharides, galacturonic acid, glucose rhamnose galactose representing highest molar ratios. Homogalacturonic acid (HG) type rhamnosegalacturonic glycans I (RG-I) α-1,4-glucan present concentration 17.94 0.28 mg/mL. Furthermore, fingerprint combined composition quantification batches there high similarity among batches. Notably, exhibited anti-oxidant inhibited expressions pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α IL-6) LPS-stimulated In addition, remarkably promoted proliferation probiotics adolescentis, showing good activity. Discussion would be help gain understanding structure–activity relationship LGSP, provide reference bioactive facilitate development unique health products future.

ABSTRACT Chemical investigation of the Liuweizhiji Gegen‐Sangshen oral liquid afforded one new diphenyl ether derivative ( 1 ), together with known compound 2 ). Their structures were established by 1D and 2D NMR, HR‐ESI‐MS spectroscopic analysis absolute configuration was confirmed ECD calculation. Compounds evaluated for cytotoxic activities, compounds showed weak activities towards HepG2 human liver cancer cells, IC 50 values 97.3 79.6 μM, respectively.

Introduction Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a pathological state of the caused by longterm alcohol consumption. Recent studies have shown that modulation gut microbiota and its metabolic products, specifically short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), exert critical role in evolution progression ALD. The Liuweizhiji Gegen-Sangshen beverage (LGS), as functional China, derived from traditional Chinese herbal formula has been clinically applied for ALD treatment, demonstrating significant efficacy. However, underlying mechanisms LGS alleviating involving regulation remain unknown. Methods In this study, an murine model based on National Institute Alcohol Abuse Alcoholism (NIAAA) method was established. Results results showed oral treatment dose-dependently alleviated alcoholinduced injury inflammation mice through decreasing levels ALT, AST proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β). significantly improved steatosis, enhanced activities metabolizing enzymes (ALDH ADH), reduced CYP2E1 activity. Notably, regarding most detected indices, effect (particularly at medium high dose) comparable to positive drug MTDX. Moreover, had favorable maintaining intestinal barrier function reducing epithelial increasing expression occludin. 16S rRNA sequencing remarkably modulated structure via recovering alcohol-induced microbial changes mediating enrichment several bacterial genera ( Alloprevotella , Monoglobus Erysipelatoclostridium Parasutterella, Harryflintia unclassified_c_Clostridia ). Further study revealed increased production SCFAs hexanoic acid cecum, promoted alcohol-mediated reduction GRP43 ileum, serum GLP-1 level. Discussion Overall, exerts remarkable protective mediated specific GPR43/GLP-1 pathway.
