Catalpol is an iridoid glycoside found in Rehmannia glutinosa, which has neuroprotective, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiviral effects[1, 2]. Catalpol can activate AMP-activated protein kinase to regulate lipid metabolism and reduce hepatic steatosis[3].
In vitro, Catalpol (1, 10, 100μM) treatment of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for 24 h increased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner and reduced intracellular lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and lipid peroxidation levels[4]. Catalpol (10μM) treatment of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) promoted OPC proliferation, cell migration and differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes[5].
In vivo, Catalpol (5, 10, 20mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into gerbils with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury for 3 days, which significantly improved the stroke index, significantly increased brain tissue SOD activity, reduced MDA content, and reduced plasma ET-1 content[6]. Catalpol (25-100mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally into mice with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, which reduced the blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels, the expression of PI3K, Akt and eNOS, and inhibited the activity of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) |
|
Preparation Method |
The study included five groups: Group I, normal control, human iPSCs incubated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 24h; Group II, treatment control, human iPSCs incubated with 8 µM aconitine for 24h; Group III, low-dose treatment, human iPSCs incubated with 8 µM aconitine and 1µM Catalpol for 24h; Group IV, medium-dose treatment, human iPSCs incubated with 8µM aconitine and 10µM Catalpol for 24h; and Group V, high-dose treatment, human iPSCs incubated with 8µM aconitine and 100µM Catalpol for 24h. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
1, 10, 100μM; 24h |
|
Applications |
Compared with the treatment control group, Catalpol supplementation (1, 10, and 100µM) increased iPSC cell viability by 7.5, 27.3, and 65.8%, respectively; reduced the LDH levels by 10.4, 31.3, and 75.2%, respectively; and reduced the lipid peroxidation levels by 7.7, 33.0, and 62.6%, respectively. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Mongolian gerbils |
|
Preparation Method |
A gerbil model of CI/R was prepared by bilateral common carotid occlusion for 10min followed by 6h reperfusion. Catalpol (5, 10 or 20mg/kg per day) was injected intraperitoneally for 3 days before the carotid occlusion. Stroke index was measured during the reperfusion. The contents of endogenous neuropeptides, endothelin-1 (ET-1) and calcitonin gene-related peptide in plasma were evaluated by radioimmunoassay. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in brain tissue homogenate were also examined. |
|
Dosage form |
5, 10, 20mg/kg; 3 days; i.p. |
|
Applications |
Catalpol significantly improved the stroke index compared with CI/R control group. Catalpol significantly increased the activity of SOD at the doses of 10 and 20mg/kg, decreased the brain MDA content and the plasma level of ET-1 at the doses of 10 and 20mg/kg. |
