Isolation of Pro-Osteogenic Compounds from <i>Euptelea polyandra</i> That Reciprocally Regulate Osteoblast and Osteoclast Differentiation

Plants contain a large number of small-molecule compounds that are useful for targeting human health and in drug discovery. Healthy bone metabolism depends on the balance between bone-forming osteoblast activity and bone-resorbing osteoclast activity. In an ongoing study searching for 22 plant extra...

description Plants contain a large number of small-molecule compounds that are useful for targeting human health and in drug discovery. Healthy bone metabolism depends on the balance between bone-forming osteoblast activity and bone-resorbing osteoclast activity. In an ongoing study searching for 22 plant extracts effective against osteoporosis, we found that the crude extract of <i>Euptelea polyandra</i> Sieb. et Zucc (<i>E. polyandra</i>) had osteogenic bioactivity. In this study, we isolated two compounds, isoquercitrin (<b>1</b>) and astragalin (<b>2</b>), responsible for osteogenic bioactivity in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells from the leaf of <i>E. polyandra</i> using column chromatography and the spectroscopic technique. This is the first report to isolate astragalin from <i>E. polyandra</i>. Compounds (<b>1</b>) and (<b>2</b>) promoted osteoblast differentiation by increasing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red S stain-positive calcium deposition, while simultaneously suppressing tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclast differentiation in RAW264.7 cells at non-cytotoxic concentrations. Isoquercitrin (<b>1</b>) and astragalin (<b>2</b>) increased the expression of osteoblastic differentiation genes, Osterix, ALP, and Osteoprotegerin in the MC3T3-E1 cells, while suppressing osteoclast differentiation genes, TRAP, Cathepsin K, and MMP 9 in the RAW264.7 cells. These compounds may be ideal targets for the treatment of osteoporosis due to their dual function of promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption.
