Objectives Screen and identify the anti-pseudo-allergic activity components of Perilla frutescens leaves that interacted with MRGPRX2 (a new reported pseudoallergic reaction-related receptor). Methods An overexpressed MRGPRX2 cell membrane chromatography (CMC) coupled with HPLC-ESI-IT-TOF system has been established to screen and identify the effective components from P. frutescens leaves. A frontal analysis method was performed to investigate the binding affinity between ligands and MRGPRX2. Their activity of relieving pseudo-allergic reaction was evaluated in vitro by histamine release assay, β-hexosaminidase release assay and intracellular Ca 2+ mobilization assay. Key findings Extract of P. frutescens leaves was proved to be effective in antipseudo-allergic reaction by inhibiting MRGPRX2. Apigenin (API) and rosmarinic acid (ROS) were confirmed to be the potential anti-allergy compounds that could bind with MRGPRX2. The binding affinity (K D ) of ROS and API with MRGPRX2 was (8.79 ± 0.13) 9 10 −8 M and (6.54 ± 1.69) 9 10 −8 M, respectively. The IC 50 of API inhibiting laboratory of allergic disease 2 cells degranulation was also determined to be (51.96 ± 0.18) μM. Conclusions A MRGPRX2/CMC coupled with HPLC-ESI-IT-TOF system was successfully established and applied to discover the effective components from P. frutescens leaves.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
