[PMID: 35250571 PMCID: PMC8890665 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.822792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background:Corydalis saxicola Bunting (CSB) is a perennial herb belonging to genus Corydalis (Papaveraceae), called “Yan-huang-lian” in the Chinese folk. Traditionally, it is used to treat acute conjunctivitis, corneal pannus, acute abdominal pain, hemorrhoidal bleeding, haematochezia, swelling, hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concepts. Purpose: This review aims to summarize and analyze the pharmacokinetics, pharmacological and toxicological properties of CSB and its extracts; to highlight the relevance of modern pharmacology to traditional pharmacology; also to assess its therapeutic potential. Methods: CSB related literatures were searched and screened from databases including PubMed, Web of Science and CNKI. The selected literatures provided reliable source identification evidences. Results: In traditional medicine concepts, CSB has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, eliminating dampness, relieving pain, and stopping bleeding. Its modern pharmacology includes hepatoprotective, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, anti-oxidative effects. Further, some pharmacological effects support its traditional uses. The CSB total alkaloids (CSBTA) are the main constituents isolated from this plant, and they exert the major of the pharmacological effects. Toxicological studies have shown that the toxicity of CSBTA is mild and reversible in rodents and beagle dogs. Conclusion: Although the present study summarizes the botany, phytochemistry, pharmacokinetics, pharmacology, toxicity, and applications of this plant, it is still necessary to systemically evaluate the chemistry, safety and parameters related to drug metabolism of the extracts or compounds from this plant before or in clinical trials in the future. Meanwhile, cancers and inflammatory-related diseases may be new research directions of this ethnomedicine.

Intervening Effects of Total Alkaloids of Corydalis saxicola Bunting on Rats With Antibiotic-Induced Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis Based on 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing and Untargeted Metabolomics Analyses. Front Microbiol 2019; 10:1151. [PMID: 31214133 PMCID: PMC6555270 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2019.01151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2019] [Accepted: 05/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Gut microbiota dysbiosis induced by antibiotics is strongly connected with health concerns. Studying the mechanisms underlying antibiotic-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis could help to identify effective drugs and prevent many serious diseases. In this study, in rats with antibiotic-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis treated with total alkaloids of Corydalis saxicola Bunting (TACS), urinary and fecal biochemical changes and cecum microbial diversity were investigated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis and untargeted metabolomics. The microbial diversity results showed that 10 genera were disturbed by the antibiotic treatment, and two of them were obviously restored by TACS. The untargeted metabolomics analysis identified 34 potential biomarkers in urine and feces that may be the metabolites that are most related to the mechanisms underlying antibiotic-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis and the therapeutic effects of TACS treatment. The biomarkers were involved in six metabolic pathways, comprising pathways related to branched-chain amino acid (BCAA), bile acid, arginine and proline, purine, aromatic amino acid, and amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. Notably, there was a strong correlation between these metabolic pathways and two gut microbiota genera (g__Blautia and g__Intestinibacter). The correlation analysis suggested that TACS might synergistically affect four of these metabolic pathways (BCAA, bile acid, arginine and proline, and purine metabolism), thereby modulating gut microbiota dysbiosis. Furthermore, we performed a molecular docking analysis involving simulating high-precision docking and using molecular pathway maps to illuminate the way that ligands (the five main alkaloid components of TACS) act on a complex molecular network, using CYP27A1 (a key enzyme in the bile acid synthesis pathway) as the target protein. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the intervening effects of TACS on the host metabolic phenotype and gut microbiome in rats with gut microbiota dysbiosis, and it presents new insights for the discovery of effective drugs and the best therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
This work assesses the current instrumentation, method development, and applications in countercurrent chromatography (CCC) and centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC), collectively referred to as countercurrent separation (CCS). The article provides a critical review of the CCS literature from 2007 since our last review (J. Nat. Prod. 2008, 71, 1489-1508), with a special emphasis on the applications of CCS in natural products research. The current state of CCS is reviewed in regard to three continuing topics (instrumentation, solvent system development, theory) and three new topics (optimization of parameters, workflow, bioactivity applications). The goals of this review are to deliver the necessary background with references for an up-to-date perspective of CCS, to point out its potential for the natural product scientist, and thereby to induce new applications in natural product chemistry, metabolome, and drug discovery research involving organisms from terrestrial and marine sources.

Abstract
A microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method is presented for the extraction of xanthones, α-mangostin and γ-mangostin from Garcinia mangostana. The MAE conditions including extraction temperature, liquid/solid ratio, extraction time and concentration of ethanol were optimized with an orthogonal test, and 5 g sample was extracted with the optimized conditions. The crude extraction of MAE was successfully isolated and purified by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) with a two-phase solvent system composed of petroleum ether-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (0.8:0.8:1:0.6, v/v) in one-step separation. The separation yielded 75 mg of α-mangostin at 98.5% purity, and 16 mg of γ-mangostin at 98.1% purity from 360 mg crude extract of G. mangostana in less than 7h. The purity of the two xanthones was determined by HPLC. Their structures were further identified by ESI-MS, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium tanshinone sulphonates are water-soluble derivatives of tanshinones originated from Tanshen (or Danshen, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge), a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine, which have potent biological activities, especially in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. However, the classical preparation processes of sodium tanshinone sulphonates often involve multiple time- and solvent-consuming steps after purification of tanshinones, resulting in relatively low yields. OBJECTIVE To develop a simple protocol for direct preparation of sodium tanshinone sulphonates from the complex crude extract of the roots of S. miltiorrhiza without pre-purification of tanshinones. METHODOLOGY The 100 mg crude tanshinone extract of S. miltiorrhiza was first sulphonated in a ultrasound bath with glacial acetic acid, acetic anhydride and concentrated sulphuric acid for 20 min, and then subjected to counter-current chromatography (CCC) separation using a optimum two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane:ethylacetate:ethanol:5% sodium chloride aqueous solution (1:8:4:10, v/v). Based on the UV detection and HPLC analyses, the sulphonated fractions were collected. RESULT Sodium tanshinone IIA sulphonate (7.1 mg) and sodium tanshinone I sulphonate (2.8 mg) with over 95% purity were obtained successfully for the first time by ultrasound-assisted sulphonation and following CCC purification. CONCLUSION The study has shown that the method combining ultrasound-assisted sulphonation and CCC purification is an efficient way to prepare tanshinone sulphonates without pre-purification of tanshinones from the complex extracts of Tanshen, and can be explored as a new protocol for wide natural product modification directly from a crude complex extracts without pre-purification.

Abstract
Alkaloids represent a most widespread group of bioactive natural products. Because of their alkalinity and structural diversity, the fractionation and purification of the alkaloids from herbs can often present a number of practical difficulties using the conventional chromatographic techniques. High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) is a liquid-liquid partition chromatography with a support-free liquid stationary phase, and is gaining more and more popularity as a viable separation technique for bioactive compounds from natural resources. In the present review, focus is placed on the separation of alkaloids by both conventional HSCCC and pH-zone-refining counter-current chromatography (CCC) techniques from herbs. The review presents the separation of over 120 different alkaloid compounds from more than 30 plant species by the conventional HSCCC and pH-zone-refining CCC. Based on the data from the literature, the proper solvent systems for the separation of alkaloids by the conventional HSCCC and pH-zone-refining CCC are also summarized.

Abstract
An on-line method based upon dynamic microwave-assisted extraction (DMAE) coupled with high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was developed for continuous isolation of nevadensin from Lyeicnotus pauciflorus Maxim. The DMAE parameters were optimized by means of the Box-Behnken design. The maximum extraction yield was achieved using 30:1 ml/g of liquid-solid ratio, 10 ml/min of solvent flow rate and 200 W of microwave power. The crude extracts were then separated by HSCCC with a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (7:3:5:5, v/v/v/v). 13.0mg of nevadensin was isolated from 15.0 g original sample by HSCCC with five times sample injection in 12h, and the isolation yield of nevadensin was 0.87 mg/g. The average purity of nevadensin was higher than 98.0%. The chemical structure of collected fraction was identified by HPLC, ESI-MS and (1)H NMR. The results indicated that this on-line method was effective and fast for high-throughput isolation of nevadensin from L. pauciflorus Maxim.

Abstract
Three anthraquinones—emodin, chrysophanol, and physcion—were successfully purified from the dichloromethane extract of the Chinese medicinal herb Rumex japonicus by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The extract was separated with n-hexane–ethanol–water (18:22:3, v/v/v) as the two-phase solvent system and yielded 3.4 mg of emodin, 24.1 mg of chrysophanol, and 2.0 mg of physcion from 500 mg of sample with purities of 99.2 %, 98.8% and 98.2%, respectively. The HSCCC fractions were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the chemical structures of the three anthraquinones were confirmed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR analysis. This is the first time these anthraquinones have been obtained from R. japonicus by HSCCC.
