AIM:Bioactive constituents were expected to be obtained from the roots of Angelica morri Hayata. METHOD:They were extracted with 95% alcohol and isolated by using column chromatography and recrystallization methods. The structures were elucidated by means of physico-chemical data and UV,IR,1HNMR, 13CNMR,and EIMS. The inhibitory effect on the constriction of rat aortic rings was induced by K+ or Ca2+. RESULT:3′S-(-)-hamaudol,3′S-(-)-Ο-acetylhamaudol,3′R-(+)-hamaudol,and (±)-hamaudol were isolated from the pieces of Radix Angelica Morri. The inhibitory rate of 3′S-(-)-Ο-acetylhamaudol and (±)-hamaudol on the above pharmacologic model appears the relation of quantity response. CONCLUSION:All the above compounds were found in this species for the first time,and(±)-hamaudol is a new. One of effect mechanisms of 3′S-(-)-Ο-acetylhamaudol and (±)-hamaudol diluted aorta could contribute to be inhibiting Ca2+ influx of vascular smooth muscle.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of 0. 3% sodium hyaluronate ophthalmic solution in mild.to. moderate dry eye patients. Methods A prospective,multicenter,and self.controlled clinical trial was performed on 200 patients who were diagnosed as mild.to.moderate dry eye from January 2015 to June 2017 in Eye Institute of Xiamen University,Eye &ENT Hospital of Fudan University,Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center,Xiangya Hospital Central South University, Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, and Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committees of Eye Institute of Xiamen University,written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination. All patients were treated with 0. 3% sodium hyaluronate ophthalmic solution 6 times per day ( one drop each time) for 28 days. Corneal fluorescein sodium staining,tear film break.up time (BUT),SchirmerⅠtest (SⅠt),degree of conjunctival hyperemia,eyelid margin,meibomian gland secretion,secretory capacity of meibomian gland and subjective symptoms were assessed at baseline,on the 14th day and 28th day after treatment. Bulbar impression cytology was evaluated at baseline and on the 28th day after treatment. Irritation of 0. 3% sodium hyaluronate ophthalmic solution was estimated on the 14th day and 28th day after treatment. Results The total score of subjective symptoms,BUT,SⅠt,degree of conjunctival hyperemia were significantly different among different treatment time points( F=108. 969,27. 598,16. 838,36. 750;all at P<0. 01). Compared with before treatment,the total score of subjective symptoms was significantly decreased, the degree of conjunctival hyperemia and the total corneal fluorescein sodium staining point number were significant decreased on the 14th day and 28th day after treatment. The total score of subjective symptoms,degree of conjunctival hyperemia and total corneal fluorescein sodium staining point number on the 28th day after treatment were significant lower than those on the 14th day after treatment. Compared with before treatment,the BUT was significantly longer and the SⅠt scores were significantly increased on the 14th day and 28th day after treatment. The BUT on the 28th day after treatment was significantly longer than that on the 14th day after treatment;no significant difference in SⅠt was observed between the 28th day and the 14th day after treatment. The scores of palpebral margin change,meibomian gland secretory ability and secretion characteristics were not significantly different among different treatment time points(H=0. 255,2. 356,0. 294;all at P>0. 05). The impression cytology grade on the 28th day after treatment was 1. 08±0. 74,which was significantly lower than 1. 53±0. 76 before treatment (t=5. 979, P<0. 01). The number of goblet cells on the 28th day after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment(U=1806. 500,P<0. 01). On the 14th day after treatment,70% of the patients indicated that the drug was non.irritating,and no patient had intolerable irritation affecting daily lives. All patients had good tolerance to this drug. Conclusions The use of 0. 3% sodium hyaluronate eye drops can improve the symptoms and signs of mild to moderate dry eye,which can be widely used for mild.to.moderate dry eye patients in clinic.

Pyran- and furanocoumarins are key representatives of tetrahydropyrans and tetrahydrofurans, respectively, exhibiting diverse physiological and medical bioactivities. However, the biosynthetic mechanisms for their core structures remain poorly understood. Here we combined multiomics analyses of biosynthetic enzymes in Peucedanum praeruptorum and in vitro functional verification and identified two types of key enzymes critical for pyran and furan ring biosynthesis in plants. These included three distinct P. praeruptorum prenyltransferases (PpPT1-3) responsible for the prenylation of the simple coumarin skeleton 7 into linear or angular precursors, and two novel CYP450 cyclases (PpDC and PpOC) crucial for the cyclization of the linear/angular precursors into either tetrahydropyran or tetrahydrofuran scaffolds. Biochemical analyses of cyclases indicated that acid/base-assisted epoxide ring opening contributed to the enzyme-catalyzed tetrahydropyran and tetrahydrofuran ring refactoring. The possible acid/base-assisted catalytic mechanisms of the identified cyclases were theoretically investigated and assessed using site-specific mutagenesis. We identified two possible acidic amino acids Glu303 in PpDC and Asp301 in PpOC as vital in the catalytic process. This study provides new enzymatic tools in the epoxide formation/epoxide-opening mediated cascade reaction and exemplifies how plants become chemically diverse in terms of enzyme function and catalytic process.
