A new neoflavonoid, named as (7 R)-(-)-3′,5-dihydroxy-4′,2,4-trimethoxy-dalbergiquinol (1) and a new phenanthrenedione, named as 3′,7-dihydroxy-3,6- dimethoxy-9-phenyl-1,4-phenanthrenedione (2), together with 4 known compounds, 5- O-methyldalbergiphenol (3), 3′,7-dihydroxy-4′,3,6-trimethoxy-9-phenyl-1,4-phenanthrenedione (4), (+)-obtusafuran (5), and melanoxin (6) were isolated from the heartwood of Dalbergia melanoxylon. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence, as well as by comparison with literature data. Moreover, compound 1 showed a protective effect on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in H9c2 at 10.0 μM by decreasing lactate dehydrogenase and malondialdehyde activity and enhancing superoxide dismutase activity.

The potential of nickel chloride to prevent streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia was tested in rats in vivo. To induce diabetes, streptozotocin (100 mg/kg body weight) was injected as a single dose. Streptozotocin treatment resulted in a significant decrease in plasma insulin and ceruloplasmin, and pancreatic Cu, protein, and Cu–Zn superoxide dismutase activity. In rats treated with nickel chloride (10 mg/kg body weight) and streptozotocin, these values were comparable with those observed in control rats. The results indicate that nickel chloride injected before streptozotocin prevented streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia, and suggest that the protective effect was related to Cu–Zn superoxide dismutase activity, mediated by copper.

Background Ischemia-hypoxia followed by reperfusion and reoxygenation injures cells and organs. Previous studies have indicated that isoflurane may protect organs from ischemia-reperfusion or hypoxia-reoxygenation. This study investigated the ability of isoflurane to protect the liver from hypoxia-reoxygenation injury and the mechanisms of this phenomenon. Methods The isolated liver was perfused at a constant pressure of 12 cm H2O with a modified Krebs-Ringer-bicarbonate solution saturated with a 95% oxygen/5% carbon dioxide gas mixture. Hypoxic perfusion produced by decreasing the oxygen concentration in the gas mixture to 10% was followed by perfusion at 95% oxygen for 60 min. Viability of the liver was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase release from the liver. Isoflurane at 0.5, 1, and 2 minimum alveolar concentration was administered to assess the effect of isoflurane on hypoxia-reperfusion injury. To determine the effect of isoflurane on extracellular generation of superoxide in the liver, the reduction of ferricytochrome c with or without superoxide dismutase was measured. Results Lactate dehydrogenase release was transiently but dramatically increased by reoxygenation and significantly attenuated by 1 and 2 minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane. Suppression of Kupffer cells with gadolinium chloride also attenuated the lactate dehydrogenase release. Isoflurane significantly reduced the superoxide generation on reperfusion. Conclusions The results show that isoflurane protected the liver from an early reoxygenation injury presumably mediated by Kupffer cells. The mechanisms of the inhibitory effects of isoflurane on the injury may involve suppression of extracellular superoxide generation during reoxygenation.
