摘要
The damaging effect of seven compounds isolated from Triplelygium Wilfordii Hook.F were tested on the rat Leydig cells and Sertoli cells in culture. The reslllts showed thai 10 μg/ ml orthosphenic acid (TW2), 10μg/ ml 39,22α -dihydroxy-△12 ursen- 30-oic acid(TW5), 5.0 μg/ ml 39,22a--dihydroxy-△12-oleallen--29-oic acid(TW6), 5.0 μg/ ml salaspermic acid(TW7), 0.5μg/ ml celastrol(TW27) alld 1.25μg/ ml polpunonic acid (TW28) Ivere all detrimental to Leydig cells. and Sertoli cells. Holvever, 30 μg/ ml wilforlide A (TW1) did not affect the viability of Leydig cells and Sertoli cells significantly.The most toxic compounds was TW27, and the leasl,TW1.These results suggested that the-COOH at the C-20 site of these triterpenoids may be the functional chemical group responsible for the damaging effect on the Leydig cells and Sertoli. cells.
