Research Update:Protective effects of polydatin against CCl4-induced injury to primarily cultured rat hepatocytes.

Polygonum Cuspidatum Extract Resveratrol CAS.NO 510-36-0 photo picture image Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zucc. is a traditional Chinese herbal drug,bitter taste and cold nature. It mainly acts upon the liver, gallbladder and lung meridians. It is well known that Polygonum cuspidatum has various activities such as promoting blood circulation, relieving swelling and pain, eliminating phlegm, alleviating cough, clearing away heat, and removing dampness and toxin. The drug has been widely used for cardiovascular and liver diseases. Its active compounds mainly consist of free anthraquinones which include emodin, physcion and chrysophanol. Another important compound is resveratrol.

 Polydatin (PD), 3,4',5 trihydroxystibene-3-beta-mono-D-glucoside, also named piceid, is the glycoside of resveratrol. Some previous studies demonstrated that PD could lower the level of blood lipid, inhibit the p latelet aggregation,dilate blood vessels,protect cardiocytes,reduce cerebral ischemic damage and inhibit lipid peroxidation. However, the effects of PD on hepatocytes and its mechanisms have not been reported up to date. In this paper we report the details of protective effects of polydatin against injury to primarily cultured rat hepatocytes induced by CCl4.
