The rate of growth of normal human skin fibroblasts was inhibited in a dose related, reversible, fashion by practolol (N-4-(2-hydroxy)-3 (1-methyl)-aminopropoxyphenylacetamine) (ID50 1.35 ± 0.14 x 10-3M), propranolol (1-(isopropylamino)-3(1-naphthyl-oxy)-2-propranolol) (ID50 0.145 ± 0.02 x 10-3M) and paracetamol (N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamide) (ID50 0.85 ± 0.2 x 10-3M). Skin fibroblasts isolated from a psoriasis patient were more sensitive towards practolol (ID50 0.48 ± 0.14 x 10-3M) and propranolol (ID50 0.032 ± 0.002 x 10-3M), but less sensitive towards paracetamol (ID50 1.3 ± 0.07 x 10-3M). In vitro generated metabolites of practolol, using normal or Arochlor 1254-pretreated hamster liver preparations, and structural analogues of practolol had no effect upon the growth of either cell type.

Daphne Genkwa

Wound healing is the main problem in the therapy of anal fistula (AF). Daphne genkwa root has been traditionally used as an agent to soak sutures in operation of AF patients, but its function in wound healing remains largely unclear. The aim of the present study was to illuminate mechanisms of D. genkwa root treatment on AF. In the present study, 60 AF patients after surgery were randomly divided into two groups, external applied with or without the D. genkwa extractive. Wound healing times were compared and granulation tissues were collected. In vitro, we constructed damaged human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) with the treatment of TNF-α (10 μg/ml). Cell Count Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry analysis were used to determine the effects of D. genkwa root extractive on cell viability, cell cycle and apoptosis of damaged HSFs. Furthermore, protein levels of TGF-β, COL1A1, COL3A1, Timp-1, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 (MMP-3) and MEK/ERK signalling pathways were investigated both in vivo and in vitro. Results showed that D. genkwa root extractive greatly shortens the wound healing time in AF patients. In granulation tissues and HSFs, treatment with the extractive significantly elevated the expressions of COL1A1, COL3A1, Timp-1, c-fos and Cyclin D1, while reduced the expression of MMP-3. Further detection presented that MEK/ERK signalling was activated after the stimulation of extractive in HSFs. Our study demonstrated that extractive from D. genkwa root could effectively improve wound healing in patients with AF via the up-regulation of fibroblast proliferation and expressions of COL1A1 and COL3A1.
