AIM: To study the effect of the four alkaloids of Sophora Alopecuroides On cycloxygenase(COX) activities in vitro. METHODS: The effect of matrine, oxymatrine sophocarpine and sophoridine on COX2 and COX1 activity were evaluated by the content of Prostaglandin E_2(PGE_2) and 6-Keto-PGF_~1a , respectively. The PGE_2 came from exogenous AA in cultured mouse peritoneal macrophage supernatants induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) 1 ug?mL~-1 was measured with radioimmunoassay(RIA) method using ~ 3H-labelled PGE_2. The 6-Keto-PGF_~1a from exogenous AA in cultured mouse peritoneal macrophage supernatants induced by calcium ionophore A23187 1 ?mol?L~-1 was measured with RIA method using~125 I-labelled 6-Keto-PGF_~1a . RESULTS: The COX2 activities were markedly inhibited in a dose dependent manner by oxymatrine, sophocarpine and sophoridine, Respectively. Excluding the sophoridine, all the other three alkaloids of Sophora Alopecuroids obviously suppressed the activities of COX1, respectively. CONCLUSION: The in vitro results show that oxymatrine, sophocarpine and sophoridine may have the significant specific inhibitory action for COX2, in contrase, matrine may be COX1 selective inhibitor.

BACKGROUND:Due to the much higher requirement of biocompatibility and anticoagulant of smal-diameter vascular grafts than those of large-diameter ones, in situ blood vessel regeneration occurs as a new research direction. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the recent research development of electrospun smal-diameter scaffolds and to explore the application of in situ blood vessel regeneration and the development tendency. METHODS:The first author retrieved China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, Wanfang data and ISI Web of Knowledge foreign database to retrieve literatures addressing the fabrication of electrospun smal-diameter nanofibrous vascular grafts, surface modification and mimicking extracel ular matrix, as wel as the evaluation of biocompatibility and security after grafting. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Electrospun smal-diameter nanofibrous vascular grafts have emerged as promising candidates in vascular tissue engineering. By using both natural and synthetic polymers, the scaffolds can achieve a good balance between mechanical property and biocompatibility. Meanwhile, the fabrication of multi-layered vascular scaffolds, functional surface modification and mimicking extracel ular matrix structural y and functional y are now becoming attractive research directions. However, at current stage, electrospun vascular scaffolds used clinical y are basical y formed by synthetic materials, which have limited biocompatibility and anticoagulant activity. In this case, more efforts should be paid to find an optimal ratio between natural and synthetic materials for the improvement of biocompatibility and anticoagulant ability of smal-diameter vascular grafts.
