Abstract

Medicinal plants are recognized from ancient times as a source of diverse therapeutic agents and many of them are used as dietary supplements. Comprehensive approaches are needed that would identify bioactive components with evident activity against specific indications and provide a better link between science (ethno-botany, chemistry, biology and pharmacology) and market. Recently, the bark of black alder (Alnus glutinosa) appeared at market in the form of food supplement for treatment of different skin conditions. This study aimed to evaluate protective effects of two diarylheptanoids isolated from the bark of black alder: platyphylloside - 5(S)-1,7-di(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-heptanone-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and its newly discovered analog 5(S)-1,7-di(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-O-β-D-[6-(E-p-coumaroylglucopyranosyl)]heptane-3-one (2) towards doxorubicin damaging activity. To that end, we employed HaCaT cells, non-cancerous human keratinocytes commonly used for skin regenerative studies. Diarylheptanoids significantly antagonized the effects of doxorubicin by lowering the sensitivity of HaCaT cells to this drug. Compound 2 prevented doxorubicin-induced cell death by activating autophagy. Both 1 and 2 protected HaCaT cells against doxorubicin-induced DNA damage. They significantly promoted migration and affected F-actin distribution. These results indicate that chemo-protective effects of diarylheptanoids may occur at multiple subcellular levels. Therefore, diarylheptanoids 1 and 2 could be considered as protective agents for non-cancerous dividing cells during chemotherapy.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 July 2015.
All research outputs
#20,656,820
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Fitoterapia
#962
of 1,476 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#201,842
of 276,199 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Fitoterapia
#14
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,476 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 276,199 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
