Abstract
Marigold oleoresin is an oil-soluble natural colorant mainly extracted from marigold flowers. Xinjiang of China, India, and Zambia of Africa are the three main production areas of marigold flowers. Therefore, this study utilized ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) technology, combined with Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) and multivariate statistical analysis, for the qualitative and discriminant analysis of marigold oleoresin obtained from three different regions. Firstly, 83 compounds were identified in these marigold oleoresin samples. Furthermore, the results of a principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) indicated significant differences in the chemical compositions of the marigold oleoresin samples from different regions. Finally, 12, 23, and 38 differential metabolites were, respectively, identified by comparing the marigold oleoresin from Africa with Xinjiang, Africa with India, and Xinjiang with India. In summary, these results can be used to distinguish marigold oleoresin samples from different regions, laying a solid foundation for further quality control and providing a theoretical basis for assessing its safety and nutritional aspects.

Costa SNDO, Silva MVTE, Ribeiro JM, Castro JMDCE, Muzitano MF, Costa RGD, Oliveira AEA, Fernandes KVS. Secondary metabolites related to the resistance of Psidium spp. against the nematode Meloidogyneenterolobii. Heliyon 2023; 9:e17778. [PMID: 37539183 PMCID: PMC10395151 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e17778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The guava tree (Psidium guajava) is a tropical species native to South America and is recognized as the 11th most economically important fruit tree in Brazil. However, the presence of the nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii and the fungus Fusarium solani in the roots of guava plants leads to the development of root galls, causing significant damage. In contrast, the species P. guineense and P. cattleianum have been identified as resistant and immune to the nematode, respectively. In this study, the researchers aimed to compare the metabolomic profiles of infected and uninfected roots of P. guajava, P. cattleianum, and P. guineense using mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography (LC-MS). The goal was to identify secondary metabolites that could potentially be utilized as biochemical resources for nematode control. The findings of the study demonstrated that the plant metabolism of all three species undergoes alterations in response to the phytopathogen inoculation. By employing molecular networks, the researchers identified that the secondary metabolites affected by the infection, whether produced or suppressed, are primarily of a polar chemical nature. Further analysis of the database confirmed the polar nature of the regulated substances after infection, specifically hydrolysable tannins and lignans in P. guineense and P. cattleianum. Interestingly, a group of non-polar substances belonging to the terpene class was also identified in the resistant and immune species. This suggests that these terpenes may act as inhibitors of M. enterolobii, working as repellents or as molecules that can reduce oxidative stress during the infection process, thus enhancing the guava resistance to the nematode. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the metabolic alterations occurring in different Psidium spp. in response to M. enterolobii infection. The identification of specific secondary metabolites, particularly terpenes, opens up new possibilities for developing effective strategies to control the nematode and enhance guava resistance.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041526. [PMID: 36838515 PMCID: PMC9964537 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Saussurea pulchella (SP) is a traditional medicinal plant that is widely used in folk medicine because of its diverse biological activities, particularly its anti-inflammatory effects. However, the alleviation effect of SP on ulcerative colitis (UC) has not yet been realized. PURPOSE To investigate the chemical composition and therapeutic effect of SP extract against UC. METHODS First, qualitative and quantitative analysis of SP 75% ethanol extract was performed by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. Second, a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) model of UC mice was developed to study the effects of SP on the symptoms, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress indexes and colon histopathology. Third, an integration of network pharmacology with metabolomics was performed to investigate the key metabolites, biological targets and metabolisms closely related to the effect of SP. RESULTS From the SP ethanol extract, 149 compounds were identified qualitatively and 20 were determined quantitatively. The SP could dose-dependently decrease the DAI score, spleen coefficient and the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, iNOS, MPO and MDA; increase the colon length, GSH level and SOD activity; and protect the intestinal barrier in the UC mice. Moreover, 10 metabolite biomarkers,18 targets and 5 metabolisms were found to play crucial roles in the treatment of UC with SP. CONCLUSIONS SP 75% ethanol extract could effectively alleviate the progression of UC and, therefore, could be classified as a novel natural treatment for UC.

Tagetes erecta L. flowers, a medicinal plant traditionally used to promote diuresis, induced diuretic and natriuretic effects in normotensive and hypertensive rats. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 279:114393. [PMID: 34229058 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2021] [Revised: 06/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Tagetes erecta L., known as marigold, belongs to the Asteraceae family and is mainly found in South America. Despite reports that T. erecta flowers are used in folk medicine to treat cardiovascular and renal diseases, there is no study regarding its diuretic effect. AIM This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition and the diuretic efficacy of the hydroethanolic extract from T. erecta (HETE) in normotensive (NTR) and hypertensive (SHR) rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS The HETE was analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detector and mass spectrometry (LC-DAD-MS). Female and male NTR and SHR received the treatment with vehicle, HETE (0.01 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg, and 1 mg/kg) or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ; 5 mg/kg) orally. The urinary parameters were measured at the end of the 8-h experiment. RESULTS From HETE, saccharides and triterpenes were the main annotated compounds, such as erythrodiol and β-amyrin. The urine volume was significantly increased in the groups treated with HETE, in both male and female NTR and SHR rats, compared to the respective vehicle-treated groups. Regarding electrolytes elimination, the treatment with HETE did not reveal significant changes in the urine levels of K+ or Cl-, but it showed a natriuretic and Ca2+-sparing effects. The HETE beneficial result in reducing Ca2+ excretion was confirmed through the protective effect found in front of the urinary calcium oxalate precipitation and crystallization. The combination with HCTZ, a classic diuretic and saluretic medicine, significantly enhanced HETE-induced diuresis, natriuresis, and the Ca2+-sparing effect. On the other hand, the K+-sparing action was improved in the combination of HETE with amiloride, a standard K+-sparing diuretic. In contrast, the combination of HETE with atropine (a non-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist) and indomethacin (an inhibitor of the cyclooxygenase enzyme), promoted an important reduction in urinary volume, but interestingly the natriuretic effect was maintained. CONCLUSION This study contributed to the preclinical validation of the diuretic efficacy of T. erecta, highlighting this species as promising for the development of new pharmacological strategies for the management of kidney disorders.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The quality characteristics and stability of phenolic by-products from Cola nitida wastes are critical factors for drug formulation and food nutraceutical applications. OBJECTIVES In this study, the effect of electromagnetic-based microwave-reflux extraction on the total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, morphological characteristics, physisorption and chromatographic phenolic profiles were successfully investigated. These physicochemical analyses are often employed in the standardisation of dried herbal and food nutraceutical products. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, the electromagnetic-based extraction process was optimised using the Box-Behnken design. The oleoresin bio-products were subsequently characterised to determine the total phenolic content, morphological and microstructural degradation. These analyses were conducted to elucidate the effect of the microwave heating on the C. nitida pod powder. RESULTS From the predicted response, the optimal percentage yield was achieved at 26.20% under 5.39 min of irradiation time, 440 W microwave power and oven temperature of 55°C. Moreover, the rapid estimation of the phenolic content and antioxidant capacity were recorded at 124.84 ± 0.064 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry weight (d.w.) and 6.93 ± 0.34 μg/mL, respectively. The physicochemical characterisation results from the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and physisorption analyses showed remarkable changes in the micro-surface area (13.66%) characteristics. CONCLUSION The recorded optimal conditions established a basis for future scale-up of microwave extraction parameters with a potential for maximum yield. The physiochemical characterisation revealed the functional characteristics of C. nitida and their tolerance to microwave heating.
