Abstract
Steroidal alkaloids are the main bioactive components of the bulbs of Fritillaria, which have been used as traditional Chinese medicine, known as "Beimu", for the treatment of cough for thousands of years in China. Cough and dyspnea are the most common symptoms observed in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. However, the antifibrotic activity of steroidal alkaloids has not been reported yet. In this study, two previously unreported cevanine-type steroidal alkaloids (1 and 2), four previously undescribed cevanine-type alkaloid glycosides (3-6), and 19 known steroidal alkaloids (7-25) were isolated from the bulbs of Fritillaria unibracteata var. wabuensis. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by comprehensive HRESIMS and NMR spectroscopic data analysis, as well as DP4+ NMR calculations. The biological evaluation showed that compounds 2, 7-10, 14, 15, and 17 downregulated fibrotic markers induced by transforming growth factor-fi (TGF-fi) in MRC-5 cells. Moreover, compounds 14 and 17 dose dependently inhibited TGF-fi-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in A549 cells, alleviated TGF-fi-induced migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, and decreased the expression of fibrotic markers, fibronectin, and N-cadherin in TGF-fi-induced MRC-5 cells. The research showed the potential of cevanine-type alkaloids as a class of natural antifibrotic agents.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
