Characterization of Bioactive Metabolites and Antioxidant Activities in Solid and Liquid Fractions of Fresh Duckweed ( Wolffia globosa) Subjected to Different Cell Wall Rupture Methods. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:19940-19955. [PMID: 38737040 PMCID: PMC11080017 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Fresh Wolffia globosa, the smallest flowering plant well-known for its favorable nutrient composition and rich content of bioactive compounds, was subjected to boiling, freeze-thawing, and mechanical crushing to reduce its excessive (95-96%) moisture level and consequent drying time. The resultant three wolffia matrixes were filtered through a plankton net to fractionate into the residue and the filtrate. The proximate composition, bioactive metabolites, antioxidant activity, and characterization of bioactive metabolites by LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were made from oven-dried residues and filtrates. Among residues, crude protein (29.84%), crude lipid (5.77%), total carotenoids (TCC; 722.8 μg/g), and vitamin C (70.02 mg/100 g) were the highest (p < 0.05) for freeze-thawing against higher ash (7.99%), total phenolic content (TPC; 191.47 mg GAE g-1 dry weight), total flavonoid content (TFC; 91.54 mg QE g-1 dry weight), DPPH activity (47.46%), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) activity (570.19 μmol FeSO4 equiv/mg) for the crushed counterpart and Chl-b in residues from boiling. No significant variation was evident in the total tannin content (TTC). Among filtrates, higher total phenolic content (773.29 mg GAE g-1 dry weight), TFC (392.77 mg QE g-1 dry weight), TTC (22.51 mg TAE g-1), and antioxidant activity as DPPH activity (66.46%) and FRAP (891.62 μmol FeSO4 equiv/mg) were evident for boiling, while that from crushing exhibited the highest TCC (1997.38 μg/g DM). LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS analysis identified 72 phenolic compounds with the maximum in residue (33) and filtrate (33) from freeze-thawing, followed by crushing (18 and 19) and boiling (14 and 13) in order, respectively. The results indicated that the predrying cell rupturing method significantly impacted quantitative, as well as qualitative compositions of residues and filtrates from fresh wolffia.

A comprehensive method for quality evaluation of Tibetan medicine Synotis solidaginea by integrating UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS chemical profiling and UHPLC-DAD multi-components quantification. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 241:115983. [PMID: 38301575 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.115983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Synotis solidaginea Hand.-Mazz. (SSD) is a commonly used Tibetan medicinal herb with a long history of therapeutic use and has good medicinal value and development and utilization prospects. This study aimed to establish and validate a comprehensive strategy integrating UHPLC-Q Exactive Orbitrap HRMS chemical profiling and UHPLC-DAD multi-components quantification for the holistic quality evaluation of SSD. Using UHPLC-Q Exactive Orbitrap HRMS, a total of 58 components in SSD including flavonoids, organic acids, terpenoids, coumarin, and alkaloids were identified or tentatively characterized by authentic reference standards and accurate masses and characteristic fragment ions. The proportion of flavonoids and organic acids were the most in SSD. Subsequently, 7 characteristic components in SSD were quantified by a newly established UHPLC-DAD method that was validated in terms of linearity and ranges, LOD and LOQ, precision, repeatability, stability, and accuracy. Finally, the method was successfully used for the quality evaluation of 8 batches of SSD collected from 5 production areas in China. ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test are used to evaluate the differences in component content in SSD from different production areas. There are significant differences in the content of SSD from different regions (P < 0.05), which may be related to the climate, altitude, and other natural environments of the regions. This work laid a valuable foundation for further development and comprehensive quality control of SSD.

Chemical profiling of Sanjin tablets and exploration of their effective substances and mechanism in the treatment of urinary tract infections. Front Chem 2023; 11:1179956. [PMID: 37408563 PMCID: PMC10318440 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1179956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Sanjin tablets (SJT) are a well-known Chinese patent drug that have been used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) for the last 40 years. The drug consists of five herbs, but only 32 compounds have been identified, which hinders the clarification of its effective substances and mechanism. Methods: The chemical constituents of SJT and their effective substances and functional mechanism involved in the treatment of UTIs were investigated by using high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-ion trap-time of flight-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-IT-TOF-MSn), network pharmacology, and molecular docking. Results: A total of 196 compounds of SJT (SJT-MS) were identified, and 44 of them were unequivocally identified by comparison with the reference compounds. Among 196 compounds, 13 were potential new compounds and 183 were known compounds. Among the 183 known compounds, 169 were newly discovered constituents of SJT, and 93 compounds were not reported in the five constituent herbs. Through the network pharmacology method, 119 targets related to UTIs of 183 known compounds were predicted, and 20 core targets were screened out. Based on the "compound-target" relationship analysis, 94 compounds were found to act on the 20 core targets and were therefore regarded as potential effective compounds. According to the literature, 27 of the 183 known compounds were found to possess antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities and were verified as effective substances, of which 20 were first discovered in SJT. Twelve of the 27 effective substances overlapped with the 94 potential effective compounds and were determined as key effective substances of SJT. The molecular docking results showed that the 12 key effective substances and 10 selected targets of the core targets have good affinity for each other. Discussion: These results provide a solid foundation for understanding the effective substances and mechanism of SJT.

Holistic quality evaluation of Callicarpae Formosanae Folium by multi-chromatography-based qualitative and quantitative analysis of polysaccharides and small molecules. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2023; 227:115282. [PMID: 36791651 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2023.115282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
Callicarpae Formosanae Folium (CFF), derived from the leaves of Callicarpa formosana Rolfe, is a common Chinese medicinal herb used for the treatment of hematemesis. Phytochemical studies found that phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, terpenoids and polysaccharides were the main ingredients of CFF. However, there is limited scientific information concerning holistic quality method and quality consistency evaluation of CFF. In this study, a strategy integrating HPGPC-ELSD, HPLC-PDA, UV-VIS and UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS was firstly developed to simultaneously qualify and quantify polysaccharides, as well as representative small molecules in CFF. HPGPC-ELSD was applied to characterize the molecular weight distribution of polysaccharides, HPLC-PDA was developed to qualitatively and quantitatively determine monosaccharides. UV-VIS was used to determine the total polysaccharides content, and UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS was established to characterize the small molecules. The quality consistency of commercial CFF (CM-CFF) was also evaluated. It was shown that the relative molecular weights, the compositional monosaccharides and small molecules composition in CM-CFF and self-collected CFF (SC-CFF) samples were similar. A total of 32 small molecules including 6 phenylpropanoids, 7 flavonoids and 19 terpenoids were characterized in CFF. However, the variation was observed in the content of polysaccharides, luteolin, ursolic acid, as well as total contents of terponoids in CM-CFF samples, which implied that the holistic quality of CM-CFF was inconsistent. The results suggested that the proposed evaluation strategy could be applied as a potential approach for the quality control of CFF. And the quality of CM-CFF should be improved by Good Agriculture Practice (GAP) base and standard processing method.

Abstract
The Artemisia argyi Lévl. et Van. growing in the surrounding areas of Qichun County in China are called Qiai (QA). Qiai is a crop that can be used both as food and in traditional folk medicine. However, detailed qualitative and quantitative analyses of its compounds remain scarce. The process of identifying chemical structures in complex natural products can be streamlined by combining UPLC-Q-TOF/MS data with the UNIFI information management platform and its embedded Traditional Medicine Library. For the first time, 68 compounds in QA were reported by the method in this study. The method of simultaneous quantification of 14 active components in QA using UPLC-TQ-MS/MS was reported for the first time. Following a screening of the activity of QA 70% methanol total extract and its three fractions (petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and water), it was discovered that the ethyl acetate fraction enriched with flavonoids such as eupatilin and jaceosidin had the strongest anti-inflammatory activity, while the water fraction enriched with chlorogenic acid derivatives such as 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid had the strongest antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The results provided the theoretical basis for the use of QA in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Metabolism is undoubtedly significantly correlated with the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine. In clinic, Qi-Yu-San-Long decoction (QYSLD) has achieved good results in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, a detailed understanding of the compounds (prototypes and metabolites) of QYSLD and its dynamic metabolic profile in plasma has not been revealed. METHODS In this study, a rapid and sensitive method based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF/MSE ), combined with a four-step analysis strategy, was established to investigate QYSLD metabolic profile in rat plasma. RESULTS In all, 101 xenobiotics (41 prototypes and 60 QYSLD-related metabolites) were identified in rat plasma. The research uncovered metabolic profiles of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, iridoids, anthraquinones, and phenylpropanoids of QYSLD in rat plasma. The dynamic changes in these xenobiotics were also observed at different time intervals. At 0.5 h after oral administration, only 15 prototypes and 11 metabolites were detected. Within 24 h, 4 prototypes and 20 metabolites can still be detected. Four prototypes and 10 metabolites had the phenomenon of emergence-disappearance-reappearance in vivo. CONCLUSION In rat plasma, 101 xenobiotics of QYSLD were identified and their dynamic metabolic profiles were systematically delineated, which laid a material basis for further research of the pharmacodynamic substances of QYSLD inhibiting NSCLC.

Folium Hibisci Mutabilis extract, a potent autophagy enhancer, exhibits neuroprotective properties in multiple models of neurodegenerative diseases. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 109:154548. [PMID: 36610154 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein aggregates are considered key pathological features in neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). The induction of autophagy can effectively promote the clearance of ND-related misfolded proteins. OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to screen natural autophagy enhancers from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) presenting potent neuroprotective potential in multiple ND models. METHODS The autophagy enhancers were broadly screened in our established herbal extract library using the transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) DA2123 strain. The neuroprotective effects of the identified autophagy enhancers were evaluated in multiple C. elegans ND models by measuring Aβ-, Tau-, α-synuclein-, and polyQ40-induced pathologies. In addition, PC-12 cells and 3 × Tg-AD mice were employed to further validate the neuroprotective ability of the identified autophagy enhancers, both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, RNAi bacteria and autophagy inhibitors were used to evaluate whether the observed effects of the identified autophagy enhancers were mediated by the autophagy-activated pathway. RESULTS The ethanol extract of Folium Hibisci Mutabilis (FHME) was found to significantly increase GFP::LGG-1-positive puncta in the DA2123 worms. FHME treatment markedly inhibited Aβ, α-synuclein, and polyQ40, as well as prolonging the lifespan and improving the behaviors of C. elegans, while siRNA targeting four key autophagy genes partly abrogated the protective roles of FHME in C. elegans. Additionally, FHME decreased the expression of AD-related proteins and restored cell viability in PC-12 cells, which were canceled by cotreatment with 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or bafilomycin A1 (Baf). Moreover, FHME ameliorated AD-like cognitive impairment and pathology, as well as activating autophagy in 3 × Tg-AD mice. CONCLUSION FHME was successfully screened from our natural product library as a potent autophagy enhancer that exhibits a neuroprotective effect in multiple ND models across species through the induction of autophagy. These findings offer a new and reliable strategy for screening autophagy inducers, as well as providing evidence that FHME may serve as a possible therapeutic agent for NDs.
