Six iridoids were isolated from the 70% ethanol extract of Lonicera Caulis (Caprifoliaceae) and their structures were identified as epialyxialactone (1), secologanin dimethyl acetal (2), sweroside (3), loganin (4), loganic acid (5) and demethylsecologanol (6). The chemical structures of these compounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic methods and comparison with literature values. This is the first report of the iridolactone, epialyxialactone (1), from the Caprifoliaceae plants and loganic acid (5) and demethylsecologanol (6) from Lonicera Caulis.

Lonicerae Folium et Caulis, the folium and stem of Lonicera japonica Thunb., has been used as diuretic, stomachic, antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent in Korea. We isolated a main iridoid, loganin which has some important biological effects from the folium and stem of this plant. Generally, it is known that iridoid compounds have variable contents by the collecting time and a part of plant. The content of main compound is important to evaluate its quality. In order to evaluate the quality of Lonicerae Folium et Caulis, the method of quantitative determination of loganin as a reference standard compound has been developed. (omitted)

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with DAD detector and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was established for the simultaneous determination of coniferin (1), loganic acid (2), demethylsecologanol (3), sweroside (4) and loganin (5) from caulis Lonicera joponica. The optimal chromatographic conditions were obtained on an ODS column ($5{\mu}m$, $4.6{\times}150mm$) with the column temperature $35^{\circ}C$. The mobile phase was composed of (A) water with 0.1% formic acid and (B) methanol with 0.1% formic acid using a gradient elution, the flow rate was 0.3 ml/min. Detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. All calibration curves showed good linear regression ($r^2$>0.998) within test ranges. The developed method provided satisfactory precision and accuracy with overall intra-day and interday variations of 0.16~3.28% and 0.14~1.99%, respectively, and the overall recoveries of 99.39~105.89% for the five compounds analyzed. The verified method was successfully applied to quantitative determination of the two types (phenolic compounds and iridoids) of bioactive compounds in 24 commercial caulis L. japonica samples from different markets in Korea and China. The analytical results demonstrated that the contents of the five analytes vary significantly with sources.

HAE-06 extract is a mixture of four medicinal plants, namely Lonicerae Folium et Caulis (Lonicera japonica), Scutellariae Radix (Scutellaria baicalensis), Adenophorae Radix (Adenophora triphylla var. japonica), and Polygonati Oddorati Rhizoma (Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum). The HAE-06 extract demonstrated a concentration-dependent relaxing effect and enhanced cAMP production in bronchial smooth muscle that had been stimulated to contract with acetylcholine. Using a blocker, it was confirmed that the effect was through the β2-adrenergic receptor/cAMP/PKA pathway. In addition, it is thought that the HAE-06 extract has a bronchial smooth muscle relaxation effect by reducing the inflow of Ca²⁺ through the K⁺ and Ca²⁺ channels present in the sarcoplasmic membrane. If research continues in the future, it is believed that it will be possible to use it as a material for pharmaceuticals and functional foods.

Objective This study identified useful herbal medicines and prescriptions for obesity treatment by analyzing herbal medicines and prescriptions that showed meaningful results in weight loss by changing the gut microbiota. Methods Using PubMed, we selected and studied 23 papers showing meaningful results on weight loss through changes in the gut microbiota using herbal medicines. Result Of the 23 selected papers, 17 were of studies using herbal medicines, and 6 of studies using prescriptions. Pomegranate peel, Flos Lonicera, Rehmannia glutinosa, Rhein, Coix seed, Platycodon grandiflorus, mulberry leaves, Poria cocos, asperuloside, Bupleuri radix, Astragalus polysaccharides, Ephedra sinica, Ganoderma lucidum, Hirsutella sinensis, Caulis spatholobi, aconite, and Bletilla striata were used as herbal medicine. Linggui zhugan-tang, Bofutsushosan, Shenling baizhu powder, Chowiseungcheng-tang, Daesiho-tang, and Yijin-tang were used as prescription. Conclusion Seventeen herbal medicines and six prescriptions associated with meaningful results in weight loss through changes in the gut microbiota, suggest the possibility of treatment and prevention of obesity through herbal medicine.

Ochnaflavone is a natural biflavonoid and mainly found in the caulis of Lonicera japonica (Caprifoliaceae). Biological activities such as anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects have been previously reported. The anticancer activity of ochnaflavone, however, has been poorly elucidated yet. In the present study, we investigated the effect of ochnaflavone on the growth inhibitory activity in cultured human colon cancer cell line HCT-15. Ochnaflavone inhibited the proliferation of the cancer cells with an $IC_{50}$ value of $4.1{\mu}M$. Flow cytometric analysis showed that ochnaflavone arrested cell cycle progression in the G2/M phase, and induced the increase of sub-G1 peak in a concentration-dependent manner. Induction of cell cycle arrest was correlated with the modulation of the expression of cell cycle regulating proteins including cdc2 (Tyr15), cyclin A, cyclin B1 and cyclin E. The increase of sub-G1 peak by the higher concentrations of ochnaflavone (over $20{\mu}M$) was closely related to the induction of apoptosis, which was evidenced by the induction of DNA fragmentation, activation of caspase-3, -8 and -9, and cleavage of poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase. These findings suggest that the cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis might be one possible mechanism of actions for the anti-proliferative activity of ochnaflavone in human colon cancer cells.

HAE series (HAE 01 - 06), are the mixtures of medicinal plants; Lonicerae Folium et Caulis (Lonicera japonica), Scutellariae Radix (Scutellaria baicalensis), Adenophorae Radix (Adenophora triphylla var. japonica), Polygonati Oddorati Rhizoma (Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum), Platycodi Radix (Platycodon grandiflorum), Liriopis seu Ophiopogonis Tuber (Liriope platyphylla). HAE 06 showed the significant antitussive effect in HAE series. HAE 04, 05, and 06 increased the effect of expectorant measured by secretion of phenol red in rats. All tested HAE series were observed to have the anti-oxidant activity determined by the scavenging activity. HAE 01, 03 and 06 were significantly reduced the production of nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) increased by LPS. HAE 06 was selected based on the results and done further experiments. HAE 06 inhibited the number of coughing induced by citric acid in dose dependent manner. HAE 06 effectively increased the effect of expectorant. HAE 06 exhibited anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of NO and TNF-${\alpha}$. In addition, HAE 06 significantly suppressed inducible Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Especially HAE 06 has the highest effect in alleviating the respiratory symptoms. Moreover, the enhancement antioxidant activity and reduction inflammation partly were attributed to it. HAE 06 may become the promising candidate for the treatment of respiratory symptom in the future.
