[PMID: 38579655 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139207] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Tetrastigma hemsleyanum root is a popular functional food in China, and the price varies based on the origin of the product. The link between the origin, metabolic profile, and bioactivity of T. hemsleyanum must be investigated. This study compares the metabolic profiles of 254 samples collected from eight different areas with 49 potential key chemical markers using plant metabolomics. The metabolic pathways of the five critical flavonoid metabolites were annotated and enriched using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway. Moreover, a random forest model aiding the spectrum-effect relationship analysis was developed for the first time indicating catechin and darendoside B as potential quality markers of antioxidant activity. The findings of this study provide a comprehensive understanding of the chemical composition and bioactive compounds of T. hemsleyanum as well as valuable information on the evaluation of the quality of various samples and products in the market.

Abstract
Cocculus orbiculatus (L.) DC. (C. orbiculatus) is a medicinal herb valued for its dried roots with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, diuretic, and other therapeutic properties. Despite its traditional applications, chemical investigations into C. orbiculatus remain limited, focusing predominantly on alkaloids and flavonoids. Furthermore, the therapeutic use of C. orbiculatus predominantly focuses on the roots, leaving the stems, a significant portion of the plant, underutilized. This study employed ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) with in-house and online databases for comprehensive identification of components in various plant parts. Subsequently, untargeted metabolomics was employed to analyze differences in components across different harvest periods and plant sections of C. orbiculatus, aiming to screen for distinct components in different parts of the plant. Finally, metabolomic analysis of the roots and stems, which contribute significantly to the plant's weight, was conducted using chemometrics, including principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and heatmaps. A total of 113 components, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and organic acids, were annotated across the root, stem, leaf, flower, and fruit, along with numerous previously unreported compounds. Metabolomic analyses revealed substantial differences in components between the root and stem compared to the leaf, flower, and fruit during the same harvest period. PLS-DA and OPLS-DA annotated 10 differentiating components (VIP > 1.5, P < 0.05, FC > 2 or FC < 0.67), with 5 unique to the root and stem, exhibiting lower mass spectrometric responses. This study provided the first characterization of 113 chemical constituents in different parts of C. orbiculatus, laying the groundwork for pharmacological research and advocating for the enhanced utilization of its stem.

Li Z, Du Y, Ding C, Yang P, Wang L, Zhao Y. An Interpretable Screening Approach Derived Through XGBoost Regression for the Discovery of Hypolipidemic Contributors in Chinese Hawthorn Leaf and its Counterfeit Malus Doumeri Leaf. PLANT FOODS FOR HUMAN NUTRITION (DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS) 2024; 79:209-218.

Abstract
The active ingredient group is a prominent feature reflecting the inherent characteristics of plant-based functional foods. Chinese hawthorn leaf (CHL), a tea substitute possessing intrinsic nutritional properties in anti-hyperlipidemia, was first found to be adulterated with Malus doumeri leaf (MDL) owing to similar commercial labels. In this context, the above-mentioned two contrasting species were explored through phytochemical profiling and activity assessment. The amelioration effect of CHL on free fatty acids-elicited lipid deposition in HepG2 cells was significantly better than that of MDL. Molecular networking-based metabolic profiles identified 68 and 67 components in CHL and MDL, with 33 shared components. Extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm with outstanding performance was selected to screen candidate components contributing to hypolipidemic activity, and the output was later interpreted by Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) method. Twelve and eight components were separately screened as hyperlipidemic inhibitors in CHL and MDL, while only four constituents were shared. The bioactivity evaluation of selected ingredients and combinations further confirmed their anti-hyperlipidemia capacity. These findings emphasized the feasibility of filtering bioactivity-related compounds using interpretable machine learning approaches and illustrated that related species may contain different hypolipidemic contributors, even if shared constituents existed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To verify the equivalence of hawthorn leaves standard decoction and formula granules. METHODS In this experiment, liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC-MS) was used to examine the chemical composition of hawthorn leaves standard decoction and formula granules, separately. In addition, oxidative stress test was used to explore the antioxidant capacity of them. RESULTS 71 chemical components were identified by LC-MS. Among them, 64 and 56 compounds were identified in the standard decoction and formula granules, respectively. There were a total of 49 common components, with no significant difference in content. Oxidative stress test showed that hawthorn leaves standard decoction and formula granules had no obvious toxicity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Compared with the model group, the same dose of hawthorn leaves formula granule and standard decoction could inhibit the secretion of lactate dehydrogenase and malondialdehyde (P < 0.05), and increase the content of superoxide dismutase (P < 0.01), with no statistically significant difference. CONCLUSIONS There is no significant difference in the main active ingredients between the standard decoction and the formula granules, and the antioxidant activity in vitro is equivalent, providing an important theoretical basis for the further development of hawthorn leaves formula granules.
