Abstract
BACKGROUND The Chinese medicinal wine made from herbal medicines became prevalent among Chinese people. The Chinese herbal spirit is composed of several herbal extracts, and has the certain health functions, such as anti-fatigue and immune regulation. The quality evaluation of Chinese herbal spirit is greatly challenged by the enormous and complex components with great structural diversity and wide range of concentration distribution. METHODS An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QQQ-MS/MS) with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method was developed to simultaneously determine forty-three bioactive components in the Chinese herbal spirits produced by year 2014 and 2018. RESULTS Quantitative results showed that 11 components, i.e.., puerarin (5), purpureaside C (7), daidzin (8), echinacoside (9), acteoside (15), epimedin B (22), epimedin C (23), icariin (24), eugenol (27), chikusetsusaponin iva (30) and Z-ligustilide (40), significantly decreased along with the increasing years of storage, while 5 compounds, i.e.., geniposidic acid (1), protocatechuic acid (2), crustecdysone (14), daidzein (18) and icariside I (35), were basically stable in all samples across the years. CONCUSION The established method allowing to simultaneously determined 43 components with wide structural diversity and trace amounts will facilitate the quality control research of Chinese herbal spirits.

Abstract
Buxaustroines A-N (1-14), a series of triterpenoidal alkaloids featuring a novel 17(13→18)abeo motif, were obtained from the extract of Buxus austro-yunnanensis. Their structures were assigned based on NMR data analysis and X-ray diffraction crystallography. A putative biosynthetic pathway for one of the alkaloids from a co-isolate 15 is proposed. In the assessment of their bioactivities, some of the compounds displayed protective effects against doxorubicin-induced injury of myocardial cells. Preliminary structure-activity relationship studies of 1-14, which are based on the same skeleton, were conducted.

Schneid.: In vitro chemical, biological and toxicological perspectives. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2019; 166:128-138. [PMID: 30640043 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2019.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2018] [Revised: 01/04/2019] [Accepted: 01/06/2019] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
In this study, different solvent extracts (methanol, dichloromethane and n-hexane) from aerial and stem parts of Buxus papillosa C.K. Schneid (Buxaceae) were investigated for a panoply of bioassays. Biological profiles were established by determining antioxidant and enzyme inhibition profiles. Toxicity was tested using MTT cell viability assay on five different human cancer cell lines i.e, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, CaSki, DU-145 and SW-480. For chemical fingerprinting, total bioactive contents and UHPLC-MS secondary metabolites profile were determined. Generally, both aerial and stem methanol extracts had highest total bioactive contents, radical scavenging and reducing power potential. DCM and n-hexane extracts were found to be most active for total antioxidant and metal chelating activity. The UHPLC-MS analysis of methanol extracts revealed the presence of several phenolic, flavonoid, alkaloid, saponin and depsipeptide derivatives. All the extracts were significantly active against butyrylcholinesterase, whereas moderate inhibition was observed for acetylcholinesterase, α-glucosidase and urease. Similarly, a considerable level of cytotoxicity was observed against all the tested cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 26 to 225.9 μg/mL. Aerial methanol and stem n-hexane extracts were found to be most cytotoxic. Principal component analysis was also performed to find any possible correlation between biological activities and total bioactive contents. On the basis of our findings, B. papillosa may be considered as promising source of bioactive molecules.

Statistical mixture design investigation for extraction and quantitation of aporphine alkaloids from the leaves of Unonopsis duckei R.E. Fr. by HPLC-MS/MS. PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS : PCA 2018; 29:569-576. [PMID: 29691915 DOI: 10.1002/pca.2768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2017] [Revised: 01/21/2018] [Accepted: 03/02/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alkaloids-derived drugs are a billionaire world-market and several phytochemical investigations aim the identification of new sources and/or structures. Thus, improving the way of extracting and methods to quantify them are of utmost importance. OBJECTIVE To quantify isoquinoline-derived alkaloids in Unonopsis duckei R.E. Fr. through a new validated high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method in combination with a statistical mixture design that aimed a proper direct extraction of these compounds from leaves. METHODOLOGY Extracts were obtained with acetone, methanol, chloroform, and n-hexane in different combinations and proportions. Chemometrics were applied in order to compare peak areas, and therefore evaluate synergism and antagonism effects between the solvents. After selection of extraction solvent, the quantification was validated and applied in the best solvent combination to quantify the main alkaloids in U. duckei. RESULTS Chemometrics indicated a synergistic effect between chloroform and methanol solvents, thus improving alkaloid extraction and extract yield. Analytes were quantified in a 15-min method, with limits of detection (LODs) between 0.5 and 5.2 ng/mL and limits of quantification (LOQs) between 1.6 and 17.2 ng/mL. The accuracy ranged between 80 and 120%. Coefficients of variation were lower than 17.42% at all concentrations. Concentrations of the alkaloids in U. duckei varied from 6.79 to 131.10 μg/g of dried leaf and glaziovine was found to be the main compound. CONCLUSION The integration of simplex centroid model and quantification by HPLC-MS/MS is promising. Statistical optimisation of the alkaloid extraction and application of selective, sensitive and robust HPLC-MS/MS method will contribute to quality control applications in phytotherapeutic medicines.
