We showed that an ethanol extract from Zanthoxylum piperitum can shorten the circadian rhythm at the cellular level and that this activity was due to hydroxy-β-sanshool, a secondary metabolite in this plant. An ethanol extract of Z. piperitum was repeatedly fractionated using solid phase extraction and reverse-phase HPLC, then the circadian rhythms of cells to which the fractions were loaded were monitored using real-time reporter gene assays. We purified one HPLC peak and identified it as hydroxy-β-sanshool using liquid chromatography (LC)-precision-mass spectrometry (MS). This compound shortened the period of Bmal1 and Per2 at the cellular level. Incubation cells for 24 h with hydroxy-β-sanshool resulted in upregulated Per2 promoter activity. Hydroxy-β-sanshool also dose-dependently upregulated expression of the clock genes Bmal1, Per1, Per2 and Cry1 and the clock-controlled oxidative stress responsive genes Gpx1and Sod2.
