摘要:	Petasites hybridus is used in Chinese herbal medicine. S-petasin is a bioactive compound isolated from leaves or roots of Petasites hybridus. S-petasin has been used to relieve gastrointestinal pain, lung disease, and spasms of the urogenital tract. However, the side effect of S-petasin on endocrine systems are still not clear. This study explored the effects of S-petasin on the release of corticosterone in vivo and in vitro. An intravenous injection of S-petasin (10 mug/kg) decreased both basal and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-induced plasma corticosterone concentration in male rats. In vitro, S-petasin (3x10(-6)-10(-4) M) caused a significant reduction of basal and ACTH-stimulated release of corticosterone from the enzymatically dispersed rat zona fasciculata-reticularis (ZFR) cells in a dose-dependent manner. In order to study possible mechanisms, ZFR cells were incubated with S-petasin (10(-5) M) in the presence or absence of forskolin (adenylate cyclase activator, 10(-6)-10(-4) M), 8-Br-cAMP (a cAMP analogue, 10(-6)-10(-4) M), 25-OH-cholesterol (pregnenolone biosynthesis precursor, 10(-5) M) combined with trilostane (a blocker of 3beta-hydroxysteriod dehydrogenase, 3beta-HSD, 10(-6) M) and deoxycorticosterone (corticosterone biosynthesis precursor, 10(-9)-10(-6) M) at 37degreesC for 1 h. The concentration of pregnenolone and corticosterone in media were measured by radioimmunoassay. The stimulatory effects of corticosterone secretion induced by forskolin (10(-5)-10(-4) M), 8-Br-cAMP (10(-5)-10(-4) M) and deoxycorticosterone (10(-7)-10(-6) M) were reduced by S-petasin at 10(-5) M. The stimulatory effects of pregnenolone secretion induced by 25-OH-cholesterol combined with or without trilostane was reduced by S-petasin at 10(-5) M. These results suggest that S-petasin inhibits the production of corticosterone from rat ZFR cells in part through decreasing the activities of adenylyl cyclase, P450scc and 11beta-hydroxylase.
