Protonated Forms of Naringenin and Naringenin Chalcone: Proteiform Bioactive Species Elucidated by IRMPD Spectroscopy, IMS, CID-MS, and Computational Approaches. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2023; 71:4005-4015. [PMID: 36849438 PMCID: PMC9999425 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.2c07453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Naringenin (Nar) and its structural isomer, naringenin chalcone (ChNar), are two natural phytophenols with beneficial health effects belonging to the flavonoids family. A direct discrimination and structural characterization of the protonated forms of Nar and ChNar, delivered into the gas phase by electrospray ionization (ESI), was performed by mass spectrometry-based methods. In this study, we exploit a combination of electrospray ionization coupled to (high-resolution) mass spectrometry (HR-MS), collision-induced dissociation (CID) measurements, IR multiple-photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IMS). While IMS and variable collision-energy CID experiments hardly differentiate the two isomers, IRMPD spectroscopy appears to be an efficient method to distinguish naringenin from its related chalcone. In particular, the spectral range between 1400 and 1700 cm-1 is highly specific in discriminating between the two protonated isomers. Selected vibrational signatures in the IRMPD spectra have allowed us to identify the nature of the metabolite present in methanolic extracts of commercial tomatoes and grapefruits. Furthermore, comparisons between experimental IRMPD and calculated IR spectra have clarified the geometries adopted by the two protonated isomers, allowing a conformational analysis of the probed species.

Abstract
Ephedrae Herba is one of the most commonly used herbal medicines, and it has been shown that most of the clinical efficacy for cold and asthma is exerted by its alkaloidal components. A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed using a perfluorooctyl column for the simultaneous determination of five alkaloids (norephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and methylephedrine) in Ephedrae Herba. The mobile phase comprising acetonitrile and 15 mM ammonium trifluoroacetate was used to elute the targets in isocratic elution mode. The method was validated for linearity (R2 > 0.999), repeatability, intraday and interday precision, recoveries with trueness (93.87-110.99%), limits of detection (5.35-5.76 µg/mL), and limits of quantification (20 µg/mL). The quantitative results revealed that the developed method was precise and accurate. Then it was successfully applied to determine the difference in the contents of three batches of Ephedrae Herba from three pharmaceutical companies.

Abstract
Shuganzhi Tablets (SGZT) is developed on the basis of a clinical empirical formula as a hospital preparation for the treatment of fatty liver. In this study, a rapid and highly sensitive LC-MS/MS method was established and validated for simultaneous determination of ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rg1, notoginsenoside R1, naringin, specnuezhenide, emodin, polydatin, hesperidin and saikosaponin A in rat plasma. Multiple reaction monitoring mode played an important role in simultaneous quantitative analysis of multiple components. The analytes were separated by the action of an ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) in five minutes. The validated LC-MS/MS method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic analysis of hesperidin, emodin, polydatin and naringin of SGZT in rat plasma after administration. A UHPLC system couple with a quadrupole combined with time of flight mass spectrometer was used for qualitatively analyzing of the composition of SGZT and its metabolites in serum, urine, bile and feces of rats. The results showed that a total of 65 components were detected in rat biological samples, including 10 prototype components and 55 metabolites. It was speculated that the ingredients of SGZT experienced mainly the following reactions in rats: phase I reaction such as hydrolysis, oxidation, hydroxylation, carboxylation and dehydroxylation and phase Ⅱ reaction such as glucuronidation and sulfation. These results provide useful information for the further study of its active ingredients.

Abstract
Flavonoids are one of the most common secondary metabolites occurring in plants. Their activity in the Central Nervous System (CNS) including sedative, anxiolytic, anti-convulsive, anti-depressant and neuro-protective actions is well known and documented. The most popular methods for detection, identification and structural elucidation of flavonoids are these based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS). NMR allows rapid, high throughput analysis of crude extracts and also gives stereochemical details about identified substances. However, these methods are expensive and less sensitive than MS-based techniques. Combining High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with MS detection gives the most powerful tool for analysis of flavonoids occurring in plants. There is a lot of different approaches to use LC/MS based techniques for identification of flavonoids and this short review shows the most important.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without effective clinical drug treatment. Qing-Xuan Granule (QX) as a traditional Chinese patent medicine is clinically used to cure children's cough. This study was designed to investigate the effects of QX and possible molecular mechanisms for bleomycin-induced PF. The work used Western blotting and Q-PCR to explore the vitro and vivo mechanisms of QX treatment, while using HPLC-TOF/MS to explore the composition of QX. QX was given daily orally for two weeks after bleomycin intratracheal instillation. The protective effects of QX on lung function, inflammation, growth factors, hydroxyproline content and deposition of extracellular matrix were investigated. QX decreased expression of Col I and α-SMA in lung tissues by down-regulating TGF-β1-Smad2/3 signaling and suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition and effectively reversed abnormal mRNA levels of MMP-1and TIMP-1 as well as LOXL-2 in lung tissues. HPLC-TOF/MS indicate that six substances could be the main active components, which were reported to protect against experimental lung disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coumarin and alkaloids are the major bioactive constituents of Toddalia asiatica, playing an important role in various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-bacterial and anti-tumour. OBJECTIVE To establish a method that will simultaneously determine the coumarins and alkaloids compounds in T. asiatica and identify their characteristic fragmentation patterns, while combining fingerprints and chemical identification with chemometrics for discrimination and quality assessment of T. asiatica samples. METHODOLOGY Qualitative characterisation of coumarins and alkaloids compounds in the methanol extracts of T. asiatica was determined by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS). Quantitative analysis relies on high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). RESULTS A total of 59 components were characterised by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS, including 29 coumarin, 25 alkaloids, one phenolic acid and four flavonoids. While the 19 characteristic components out of 23 common peaks in the chromatographic fingerprints of T. asiatica were confirmed. Quantitative analysis of seven major compounds from 18 samples were simultaneously detected by HPLC-DAD at wavelengths of 280 nm. The samples were classified into three groups by hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) combined with principal component analysis (PCA), and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) which screened out the main chemical markers responsible for the samples differences. CONCLUSION Fingerprints combined with chemometrics and chemical identification are a simple, rapid and effective method for the quality control of T. asiatica.

Abstract
Aurantii fructus (zhiqiao, ZQ) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and raw material of TCM healthcare food (TCM-HF), mainly focused on the regulation of gastrointestinal disorders and the abundant application of antioxidants. Pharmacological investigations of ZQ flavonoids have identified them as the main bioactive components in recent years, but little has been reported on the extraction processes of antioxidant flavonoids (AFs). The aim of this study was to establish an efficient ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) method for the extraction of AFs from ZQ using a response surface methodology (RSM), analyze the composition of AFs, and develop a qualitative evaluation method for ZQ. Flavonoid yield and antioxidant ability were selected as the responses to optimize the extraction of AFs, and the multiple effects of independent variables were investigated. The optimized conditions for the extraction of AFs based on the Box-Behnken design (BBD) were as follows: ethanol concentration, 58%; extraction temperature, 70 °C; and extraction time, 17 min. The flavonoid yield and antioxidant activity reached 241.70 mg/g and 59.42%, respectively, which matched the predicted values. Furthermore, optimized UAE processes were first established for the efficient and fast extraction of AFs. Flavanones and polymethoxyflavonoids (PMFs) were identified as potential AFs using time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Meanwhile, the quality of ZQ was evaluated using the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) method for the first time, and Yuanjiang ZQ was considered as an excellent raw material of TCM-HF.

Abstract
Sakuranetin (1) is a flavanone phytoalexin that has been reported to play an important role in disease resistance in rice plants. The rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae) has been reported to metabolize 1 to lower its antifungal activity. Here, two flavanones, sternbin (2) and naringenin (3), were identified as metabolites of 1 in P. oryzae suspension culture by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The inhibition of 1, 2, and 3 on P. oryzae mycelial growth were 45%, 19%, and 19%, respectively, at a concentration of 100 μm. Thus, 2 and 3 are detoxified metabolites of 1 by P. oryzae.

Abstract
Flavonoids are a widely distributed group of phytochemicals having benzo-pyrone nucleus, and more than 4,000 different flavonoids have been described and categorized into flavonols, flavones, flavanones, isoflavones, catechins and anthocyanidins. Flavonoids occurs naturally in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine, as well as in medical herbs. Flavonoids are responsible for the different colors of plant parts and are important constituents of the human diet. Flavanoids have different pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-allergic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic and anticancer activity. Naringenin belongs to the flavanones and is mainly found in fruits (grapefruit and oranges) and vegetables. Pharmacologically, it has anticancer, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiproliferative and antiatherogenic activities. Naringenin is used for the treatments of osteoporosis, cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and showed lipid-lowering and insulin-like properties. In the present review, detailed pharmacological and analytical aspects of naringenin have been presented, which revealed the impressive pharmacological profile and the possible usefulness in the treatment of different types of diseases in the future. The information provided in this communication will act as an important source for development of effective medicines for the treatment of various disorders.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Fructus Aurantii is one of the commonly used traditional Chinese medicines and the compatibility of Fructus Aurantii, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei and Semen Crotonis Pulveratum were the main components in a Chinese traditional patent medicine Weichang'an pill. Naringin and neohesperidin are two main flavonoid glycosides in the extract of Fructus Aurantii. The pharmacokinetics of naringin and neohesperidin, as the main marker constituents were analysis by a simple and accurate method. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, pharmacokinetic differences of two flavonoid glycosides were detected after oral administration of the extract of single herb and different compatibility of Fructus Aurantii, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei and Semen Crotonis Pulveratum which at doses of approximately 700 mg/kg naringin and 300 mg/kg neohesperidin. RESULTS It indicated that the pharmacokinetic process of naringin and neohesperidin in four groups were demonstrated bimodal phenomenon after oral administration. Comparing to pharmacokinetic parameters of the single herbs administration, there were no significant difference after the compatibility of Fructus Aurantii and Radix et Rhizoma Rhei. However, the absorption of two flavonoid glycosides was increased dramatically after the compatibility of Fructus Aurantii or Semen Crotonis Pulveratum. The same results were attained after co-administration of the extract of three herbs. CONCLUSION Some components in the extract of Semen Crotonis Pulveratum promoted the absorption of naringin and neohesperidin.

Abstract
Chemical composition of propolis depends on the specificity of the local flora at the site of collection and thus on the geographic and climatic characteristics of this place. This paper describes a comparative analysis of Cuban red propolis (CRP), Brazilian red propolis (BRP), and Dalbergia ecastophyllum exudates (DEE) by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection and tandem mass spectrometry. The aim of this study was to investigate the overall chemical profile and the botanical origin of red propolis and to suggest similarities and differences between samples collected in different tropical regions. Isoliquiritigenin (1), liquiritigenin and naringenin (2 and 17), isoflavones (3-4 and 16), isoflavans (5-7 and 18), and pterocarpans (8-13) were detected in CRP, BRP, and DEE, whereas polyisoprenylated benzophenones (PPBs) guttiferone E/xanthochymol (14a,b) and oblongifolin A (15) were detected only in BRP. Pigments responsible for the red color of DEE and red propolis were also identified as two C30 isoflavans, the new retusapurpurin B (19) and retusapurpurin A (20). PPBs and pigments were isolated and unambiguously characterized by 1D and 2D NMR analysis. These results show that red propolis samples from different tropical zones have a similar chemical composition. DEE is the main red propolis source, but the presence of PPBs in BRP suggests the contribution of different botanical sources for Brazilian samples. This chemical information is important for quality control of red propolis and its commercial products and for biological study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fructus Aurantii, as a component of several compound formulae, shows many bioactivities. As is well known, the constituents of traditional Chinese medicines are very complex and multiple constituents are responsible for the therapeutic effect. However, the concrete compounds are difficult to confirm. Therefore, studies on the constituents absorbed into serum and their metabolites are necessary. OBJECTIVE To search for the active constituents in Fructus Aurantii. METHODOLOGY An ultra-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-PDA-Q-TOF/MS) method was established to analyse the aqueous extract in Fructus Aurantii and the constituents absorbed into blood. Compound identification was made by matching the empirical molecular formula with those of the reported compounds and UV spectra, and further elucidated by lower energy CID mass spectra. RESULTS Twelve flavonoid O-glycosides were detected, and nine compounds were tentatively identified as polymethoxylated flavones. Six parent compounds were identified and four metabolites were observed in rat plasma, two of which were identified as naringenin glucuronide and hesperetin glucuronide, respectively. CONCLUSION The approach developed has proved useful in the study of the active constituents in traditional Chinese medicines.

Abstract
Separation techniques with high efficiency and sensitive detection have been widely used for quality control of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). High-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis are commonly used to separate various components in TCMs. Ultraviolet detection, fluorescence detection, evaporative light-scattering detection, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance can be applied to separation techniques for qualitative and quantitative analysis of TCMs. The development of quality control for TCMs based on quantitative and qualitative analysis from 2000 to 2007 are reviewed; the fingerprint technique is also discussed due to its broad application in the quality control of TCMs. Prospects for further research based on our primary results are also discussed.
