The degradation kinetics of chlorogenic acid (5-CQA), cryptochlorogenic acid (4-CQA), and neochlorogenic acid (3-CQA) in aqueous solution at 37 degrees C and different pH values (7.05, 7.96, 9.25) were investigated in the present work. The results indicated that 3-, 4- and 5-CQA tended to remain stable in acidic pH circumstance, and unstable in neutral and alkaline pH circumstance. With the increase of the alkalinity, the degradation of 3-, 4- and 5-CQA was increased leading to a less amount of total CQA and was satisfactorily described by the Weibull equation. Meanwhile, caffeic acid was not detected after the degradation of CQA. Moreover, the degradation of 3-CQA and 5-CQA tended to be converted to 4-CQA, and the degradation of 4-CQA tended to be converted to 3-CQA rather than 5-CQA. The comparison of the degradation kinetics parameters of 3-, 4- and 5-CQA at neutral and alkaline pH values showed that the orders of the rate constant (k) values were 4-CQA > 3-CQA > 5-CQA, while the orders of the degradation half life (t½) values were 4-CQA < 3-CQA < 5-CQA, indicating the orders of the stabilities of 3-, 4- and 5-CQA at 37 degrees C and neutral and alkaline pH values were 4-CQA < 3-CQA < 5-CQA.

Objective To investigate the effects of Mailuoning on oxidative stress and ischemic brain injury. Methods A total of 126 healthy male Kunming mice were divided into sham operation (n = 18), normal saline control (n = 54) and Mailuoning (n = 54) groups. A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was induced Two hours after MCAO,Mailuoning injection and equivalent saline were injected via the tail vein in the Mailuoning and normal saline control groups, respectively, and then they were injected every other 24 h.Neurological score was performed, and brain water content, infarct volume, membrane potential,as well as protein oxidative stress metabolites such as 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), lipid oxidative stress metabolite 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and nucleic acid oxidative stress metabolite 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were detected at 12, 24 and 72 h after MCAO. Results Mailuoning injection could significantly improve the neurological function of cerebral ischemia in mice, decrease brain edema, and reduce infarct volume at different time points after cerebral ischemia Of those, it was most significant at 72 h. Mailuoning injection could reverse the decreased mitochondrial membrane potential in cerebral cortex and internal capsule, and significantly downregulate the increased 3-NT, HNE and 8-OHdG in cerebral cortex, internal capsule and serum after ischemia, of those, the effect of reducing HNE was most significant.Conclusions Mailuoning injection may effectively protect against ischemic brain injury in mice,and its mechanism is associated with inhibiting oxidative stress, particularly anti-lipid oxidation.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder which seriously causes the dementia in elderly people and afflicts millions of people worldwide. Drug discovery for Alzheimer's disease therapy has been a hot research area and a big challenge, in which development of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors design was the most active and some AChE inhibitors are commercially available for AD medication already. However, practical using of commercial AChE inhibitors showed their limited usefulness and related adverse effects. Thus, it is extremely urgent to find novel AChE inhibitors with higher potency and less adverse effects. Based on the accurate crystallographic studies about AChE, strategies for multi-binding site AChE inhibitors have been formed, followed by design of the multi-target directed ligands. In this review, the structures and binding modes of commercial AChE inhibitors were briefly discussed, together with the development of AChE inhibitor design for AD therapy: from multi-binding site inhibitors to multi-target directed ligands.
