J Sep Sci 2021; 45:717-727. [PMID: 34845820 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202100802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2021] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
In recent years, natural deep eutectic solvents have been favored greatly due to their environment friendly, mild biological toxicity and simple biodegradability. Natural deep eutectic solvents gradually applied for the extracting bioactive compounds from natural products efficiently. In this study, 20 natural deep eutectic solvents were prepared and their physical and chemical properties were tested. The ultrasonic-assisted extraction method was used to extract flavonoids from Trollius ledebouri and high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet was applied to examine two main bioactive flavonoids (orientin and vitexin). Compared with traditional solvents (water and 60% ethanol solution), natural deep eutectic solvents composed of L(-)-proline and levulinic acid (molar ratio 1:2) show a super extraction efficiency. On this basis, the response surface method was used to optimize the extraction temperature, extraction time, water contents, and solid-liquid ratio. As a consequence, the extraction temperature 60℃, extraction time 18 min, water content 14% (v/v), and the solid-liquid ratio 48 mL·g-1 were chosen as the best extraction process. This study shows that natural deep eutectic solvents can effectively extract flavonoids from T. ledebouri, laying a foundation for the further application of natural deep eutectic solvents to extract bioactive compounds from natural products.

Abstract
Herein, the catalytic promiscuity of TcCGT1, a new C-glycosyltransferase (CGT) from the medicinal plant Trollius chinensis is explored. TcCGT1 could efficiently and regio-specifically catalyze the 8-C-glycosylation of 36 flavones and other flavonoids and could also catalyze the O-glycosylation of diverse phenolics. The crystal structure of TcCGT1 in complex with uridine diphosphate was determined at 1.85 Å resolution. Molecular docking revealed a new model for the catalytic mechanism of TcCGT1, which is initiated by the spontaneous deprotonation of the substrate. The spacious binding pocket explains the substrate promiscuity, and the binding pose of the substrate determines C- or O-glycosylation activity. Site-directed mutagenesis at two residues (I94E and G284K) switched C- to O-glycosylation. TcCGT1 is the first plant CGT with a crystal structure and the first flavone 8-C-glycosyltransferase described. This provides a basis for designing efficient glycosylation biocatalysts.

Abstract
The flower of Trollius chinensis Bunge was widely used for the treatment of inflammation-related diseases in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In order to clarify the anti-inflammatory mechanism of this Chinese herbs, a comprehensive network pharmacology strategy that consists of three sequential modules (pharmacophore matching, enrichment analysis and molecular docking.) was carried out. As a result, Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), transforming protein p21 (HRas) and mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (p38α) that related to the anti-inflammatory effect were filtered out. In further molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, the conformation of CID21578038 and CID20055288 were found stable in the protein ASK1 and JNKs respectively. The current investigation revealed that two effective compounds in the flower of Trollius chinensis Bunge played a crucial role in the process of inflammation by targeting ASK1 and JNKs, the comprehensive strategy can serve as a universal method to guide in illuminating the mechanism of the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine by identifying the pathways or targets.

Abstract
Trollius ledebourii has been more involved in Mongolian medicine and is often used as a type of tea for heat-clearing and detoxifying in the populus. In this study, a rapid and sensitive method was established for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of the major constituents in T. ledebourii. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was developed for the identification of the multi-constituents in T. ledebourii. A total of 37 chemical constituents in T. ledebourii extract were unambiguously or tentatively identified, including 17 flavonoid glycosides, 6 flavones, 3 flavonols, 1 dihydroflavone, 8 phenolic acids, 1 amide and 1 triterpene. Pectolinarin, naringenin, isorhamnetin, diosmetin, protocatechuic acid, paeonol, caffeic acid and ferulic acid were first detected in T. ledebourii and the buttercup family. High-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole ion trap tandem mass spectrometry was applied for the simultaneous determination of 11 compounds, which were either with high contents or strong bioactivities. Satisfactory linearity was achieved with a wide linear range and fine determination coefficient (r > 0.9987). The overall recoveries ranged from 98.07 to 101.2%, and the precision in terms of RSD was <0.74%. The results might provide the basis for quality control analysis of T. ledebourii.

PLoS One 2015; 10:e0119263. [PMID: 25789809 PMCID: PMC4366261 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0119263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2014] [Accepted: 01/12/2015] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The human Caco-2 cell monolayer model was used to investigate the absorption property, mechanism, and structure-property relationship of seven representative flavonoids, namely, orientin, vitexin, 2"-O-β-L-galactopyranosylorientin, 2"-O-β-L-galactopyranosylvitexin, isoswertisin, isoswertiajaponin, and 2"-O-(2"'-methylbutanoyl)isoswertisin from the flowers of Trollius chinensis. The results showed that these flavonoids were hardly transported through the Caco-2 cell monolayer. The compounds with 7-OCH3 including isoswertisin, isoswertiajaponin and 2"-O-(2"'-methylbutanoyl)isoswertisin were absorbed in a passive diffusion manner, and their absorbability was increased in the same order as their polarity. The absorption of the remaining compounds with 7-OH including orientin, vitexin, 2"-O-β-L-galactopyranosylorientin, and 2"-O-β-L-galactopyranosylvitexin involved transporter mediated efflux in addition to passive diffusion. Among the four compounds with 7-OH, those with a free hydroxyl group at C-2" such as orientin and vitexin were the substrates of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and that with a free hydroxyl group at C-2' such as 2"-O-β-L-galactopyranosylorientin was the substrate of multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2). The results of this study also implied that the absorbability of the flavonoids should be taken into account when estimating the effective components of T. chinensis.

Absorbability, mechanism and structure-property relationship of three phenolic acids from the flowers of Trollius chinensis. Molecules 2014; 19:18129-38.

Abstract
The absorption properties, mechanism of action, and structure-property relationship of three phenolic acids isolated from the flowers of Trollius chinensis Bunge, namely, proglobeflowery acid (PA), globeflowery acid (GA) and trolloside (TS), were investigated using the human Caco-2 cell monolayer model. The results showed that these three phenolic acids were transported across the Caco-2 cell monolayer in a time and concentration dependent manner at the Papp level of 10−5 cm/s, and their extent of absorption correlated with their polarity and molecular weight. In conclusion, all three of these compounds were easily absorbed through passive diffusion, which implied their high bioavailability and significant contribution to the effectiveness of T. chinensis.
