| Description: |
Dencichine is a neurotoxic agent, it is also a haemostatic agent, the hemostatic effect relates to modulation of coagulation system, platelet aggregation and fibrinolytic system. Dencichine has renoprotective effect, it could significantly prevent the progression of diabetic nephropathy possibly attribute to down-regulation of the TGF-β/Smad pathway and rebalance the deposition and degradation of ECM proteins.

| J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2007 Feb 19;43(3):920-5. | | Analysis of dencichine in Panax notoginseng by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with ethyl chloroformate derivatization.[Pubmed: 17029672 ] | Dencichine (beta-N-oxalyl-l-alpha,beta-diaminopropionic acid) is a haemostatic agent present in well-known traditional Chinese medicinal herbs such as Panax notoginseng, as well as other Panax species. It is also a reported neurotoxic agent found in Lathyrus sativus (grass pea seed) and cycad seeds.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
A method was developed for quantitative determination of the non-protein amino acid, Dencichine, in plant samples of P. notoginseng and the adventitious roots directly from the explants of P. notoginseng after derivatization with ethyl chloroformate (ECF) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). l-2-chlorophenylalanine was used as an internal standard. Calibration curves were linear (r(2)=0.9988, n=6) in the range of 10-800 microg/ml for Dencichine. Limit of detection and quantification for Dencichine were 0.5 microg/ml and 2 microg/ml, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:
This rapid and specific method may be applied to the quantification of Dencichine in complex medicinal plants and their products. |

To investigate hemostatic mechanism of the effect of Dencichine on coagulation, including the effect on coagulation system, platelet aggregation and fibrinolytic system.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Adult SD rats (n=60) and Kunming mice (n=60) were randomly divided into groups, and treated with etamsylate injection, and Dencichine DE I (40 mg·kg-1), DE II (20 mg·kg-1), DE III (10 mg·kg-1) and DE IV (5 mg·kg-1). Changes in coagulation system, platelet aggregation and fibrinolytic system were determined. Compare to control, Dencichine shortened the clotting time in mice (P<0.01), and changed factors of coagulation system (P<0.05), platelet aggregation and fibrinolytic system (P<0.01) in rats.
CONCLUSIONS:
The hemostatic effect of Dencichine relates to modulation of coagulation system, platelet aggregation and fibrinolytic system. |
