Influence of extraction solvents on the chemical constituents and biological activities of Astragalus aduncus from Turkey flora: In vitro and in silico insights. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2024; 357:e2400257. [PMID: 38849325 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202400257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
The n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, ethanol/water (70% ethanol), and water extracts of Astragalus aduncus aerial parts were investigated for their antioxidant potential, enzyme inhibition activity (anti-acetylcholinesterase [AChE], anti-butyrylcholinesterase [BChE], antityrosinase, antiamylase, and antiglucosidase) and antiproliferative effect (against colon adenocarcinoma cell line [HT-29], gastric cancer cell line [HGC-27], prostate carcinoma cell line [DU-145], breast adenocarcinoma cell line [MDA-MB-231], and cervix adenocarcinoma cell line [HeLa]). In addition, the phytochemical profile of the extracts was evaluated using validated spectrophotometric and high-pressure liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/tandem mass spectroscopy methods. Generally, the 70% ethanol extract demonstrated the strongest antioxidant properties, and it was the richest source of total phenolic constituents. Our findings indicated that the ethyl acetate extract was the most potent BChE inhibitor (11.44 mg galantamine equivalents [GALAE]/g) followed by the ethanol extract (8.51 mg GALAE/g), while the ethanol extract was the most promising AChE inhibitor (3.42 mg GALAE/g) followed by the ethanol/water extract (3.17 mg GALAE/g). Excellent tyrosinase inhibitory activity (66.25 mg kojic acid equivalent/g) was observed in ethanol/water extracts of the aerial part of A. aduncus. Тhese results showed that the most cytotoxic effects were exhibited by the ethyl acetate extract against HGC-27 cells (IC50: 36.76 µg/mL), the ethanol extract against HT-29 cells (IC50: 30.79 µg/mL), and the water extract against DU-145 cells (IC50: 37.01 µg/mL). A strong correlation was observed between the highest total flavonoid content and the highest content of individual compounds in the ethanol extract, including rutin, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, delphinidin-3,5-diglucoside (delphinidin-3,5-O-diglucoside), and kaempferol-3-glucoside (kaempferol-3-O-glucoside). In the present study, the A. aduncus plant was considered a new source of antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors, and anticancer agents and could be used as a future health-benefit natural product.

Abstract
The preliminary α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the methanol extract of the leaves of Sandoricum koetjape Merr. exhibited promising results. The leaves was extracted with methanol to obtain the methanol extract that was continuedly partitioned with hexane and ethyl acetate. Those fractions were further purified by various chromatographic techniques. The isolation of the potent fractions furnished two new cycloartane-type triterpenoids (1 and 2) along with ten known compounds (3-12). Their chemical structures were unambiguously established by interpretation of NMR (1 D & 2 D) and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) data. Furthermore, the configurations of two new compounds were determined by using NOESY spectrum as well as comparing their NMR data to the reference. These compounds were evaluated against α-glucosidase. All tested compounds revealed potent activity with IC50 value in the range of 2.17-49.2 µM compared to that of acarbose (IC50 100.6 µM). Compound 10 showed the lowest IC50 value. This compound was reported as a mixed-type inhibitor. Compound 3 possessed the second strong activity with an IC50 value of 14.0 μM and was further investigated on kinetic analysis which revealed as a mixed-type inhibitor with Ki and Ki' values of 59.1 and 155.2 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Two new cycloartane glycosides, nervisides I-J, were isolated from Nervilia concolor whole plants. Their structures were unambiguously established by interpretation of their HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR data. These cycloartanes comprised a stereogenic center at C-24, the R configuration of which was assigned based on DFT-NMR calculations and the subsequent DP4 probability score. These compounds were tested for cytotoxicity against K562 and MCF-7 tumor cell lines, revealing mild cytotoxic activity.

Abstract
Five known cycloartane-type glycosides were isolated from the roots of A. tmoleus Boiss. var. tmoleus. The identification of these compounds was mainly achieved by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques and FABMS. The results of our studies confirm that triterpene saponins with the cycloartane-type skeleton might be chemotaxonomically significant for the genus Astragalus.

Abstract
Ding-Zhi-Xiao-Wan (DZXW) is a traditional Chinese medicine widely used for treating depression. To clarify the bioactive constituents of DZXW, a new rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS(E)) method was established in this study, with the whole extract of the formula separated into multiple components to facilitate the analytical process. In total, 97 compounds were detected and 88 were identified in DZXW. Based on their exact masses, fragmentation characteristics, and retention times, 85 of the 88 compounds were confirmed either conclusively or tentatively, and three potentially novel compounds were identified. In addition, following a three-day oral administration of DZXW, 60 and 28 compounds were observed in the plasma of normal and depressive rats, respectively. Finally, by combining our data with pharmacological information, 10 compounds were predicted as the likely bioactive constituents of DZXW as an antidepressant agent. Our approach provided a rapid method for characterising the chemical constituents of DZXW, and we were the first to screen for bioactive indexes in the plasma of depressive rats. Furthermore, our results provide useful chemical information that could be employed for further study of the pharmacodynamic material basis of DZXW's antidepressant effects.

Abstract
Astragalus L., is one of the largest genuses of flowering plants in the Leguminosae family. Roots of A. membranaceus Bge. var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao, A. membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. and its processed products are listed in the China Pharmacopeia for “qi deficiency” syndrome treatment. However, more and more researches on other species of Astragalus have been conducted recently. We summarize the recent researches of Astragalus species in phytochemistry and pharmacology. More than 200 constituents, including saponins and flavonoids, obtained from 46 species of Astragalus genus were collected for this article. In pharmacological studies, crude extracts of Astragalus, as well as isolated constituents showed anti-inflammatory, immunostimulant, antioxidative, anti-cancer, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, and antiviral activities. The goal of this article is to provide an overview of chemical and pharmacological studies on the Astragalus species over the last 10 years, which could be of value to new drug or food supplement research and development.
