Summary: Asian blue cohosh, a traditional folk medicine in China, has been found to produce berberine. Transcriptome analysis identified the berberine biosynthesis genes in this plant. The analysis also revealed tissue-specific expression patterns, with up-regulation of genes involved in membrane components and transferase activity in leaves compared to stems. Phylogenetic analysis showed the differentiation of berberine synthesis genes in early evolution, and the copy number of these genes varied among species.

Summary: Fifteen undescribed diterpenoid alkaloids and seven known analogs were isolated from Aconitum tanguticum. Their structures were determined using spectroscopic methods. The compounds exhibited inhibitory effects on the secretion of NO and TNF-alpha in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 67.56 mu M to 683.436 mu M.

Summary: Atherosclerosis is an immune-inflammatory disease that affects the arteries and leads to plaque development. Anti-inflammatory drugs have shown effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular events in individuals with coronary disease. However, their use is still limited due to concerns about long-term follow-up, cost-effectiveness, adverse effects, and identifying the ideal patient profile.

Summary: Silybin, an active component in Silybum marianum, has been found to protect the liver against emodin-induced liver injury in rats. It was observed that the combination of silybin and emodin led to changes in liver biomarkers and gene expression related to cholesterol metabolism and bile acid synthesis. Metabolomic analysis revealed disruptions in bile acid synthesis, vitamin B-6, and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways in emodin-induced fatty liver injury, which were ameliorated by silybin treatment.
