Gentiopicrin is a naturally occurring iridoid glycoside. It is a bioactive component of gentian species of medical plants. It has proved to be the strongest inhibitor of myeloperoxidase. It could be absorbed rapidly in mice, but with a low bioavailability, and could distribute to tissues extensively. Gentiopicrin has been reported to be effective against inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, liver illness, fever, digestive and intestinal disorders. Gentiopicrin treatment can exert anti-inflammatory effects on experimental acute colitis through attenuating the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS and COX-2, and it may present the therapeutic potential in the treatment of colitis. The drug inhibits reserpine-induced pain/depression dyad by downregulating GluN2B receptors in the amygdala. Gentiopicrin injection was approved by SFDA for the treatment of acute jaundice and chronic active hepatitis.
