Genipin-1-O-gentiobioside

Genipin 1-β-D-gentiobioside (Genipin 1-gentiobioside) is one of the most abundant and bioactive iridoid glycosides in Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, which possesses hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antithrombotic activities.

Genipin 1-β-D-gentiobioside (Genipin gentiobioside) has moderate terminal elimination half-life (t1/2=1.65±0.87 h and 2.43±2.30 h for nomal rats (11.4 mg/kg) and cholestatic liver injury (CLI) rats (11.4 mg/kg), respectively)[1].

Rats[1] Twelve male rats are divided randomly into normal and acute cholestatic liver injury (CLI) group, with 6 rats in each. The rats are kept in an air-conditioned environment at a temperature of 22-24°C and a relative humidity of 50±10%, with access to the standard laboratory food and water. After fasted for 12 h, the rats are given Zhi-Zi-Da-Huang decoction (ZZDHD) at a dose of 8 g/kg (crude drug/body weight, equivalent to 35.9 mg/kg geniposide, 11.4 mg/kg Genipin 1-β-D-gentiobioside, 2.50 mg/kg Rhein, 0.23 mg/kg Emodin, 11.2 mg/kg Isonaringin, 83.5 mg/kg Naringin, 12.4 mg/kg Hesperidin and 79.6 mg/kg Neohesperidin) by oral administration. Blood samples (approximately 0.3 mL) are collected from the fosse orbital vein using heparinized 1.5 mL polythene tubes before the dose and at 0.08, 0.17, 0.33, 0.67, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h after dosing, and then centrifuged immediately at 13,000 rpm for 5 min. Plasma is transferred into clean tubes and stored at -80°C until analysis[1].
