The bibenzyl derivatives of Dendrobium officinale prevent UV-B irradiation induced photoaging via SIRT3

Abstract

AbstractDendrobium officinale is a valuable medicinal herb that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. The chemical constituents of D. officinale have attracted much attention and a large number of compounds have been reported including many bibenzyl derivatives. 13 bibenzyl derivatives from D. officinale were sent for molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay and after detection of Mn-SOD and SIRT3 activities in or not in HaCaT cells, it was concluded that bibenzyl derivatives did not directly activate Mn-SOD but promoted SIRT3 proteins. In addition, HaCaT cells were irradiated with UV-B to induce an oxidative stress model in vitro to further verify the effect of bibenzyl derivatives. The results show that bibenzyl derivatives could directly bind to SIRT3, enhance the deacetylation and then activate Mn-SOD, so as to protect UV-B induced skin photoaging. Graphical Abstract
