A chemical analysis of the Pelargonium species: P. odoratissimum, P. graveolens, and P. zonale identifies secondary metabolites with activity against gram-positive bacteria with multidrug-resistance. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0306637. [PMID: 38985712 PMCID: PMC11236107 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0306637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The Pelargonium genus encompasses around 280 species, most of which are used for medicinal purposes. While P. graveolens, P. odoratissimum, and P. zonale are known to exhibit antimicrobial activity, there is an evident absence of studies evaluating all three species to understand their chemical differences and biological effects. Through the analysis of the hydroalcoholic extracts of P. graveolens, P. odoratissimum, and P. zonale, using HPLC-DAD-MS/MS, quercetin and kaempferol derivatives were identified in these three species. Conversely, gallotannins and anthocyanins were uniquely detected in P. zonale. P. graveolens stood out due to the various types of myricetin derivatives that were not detected in P. odoratissimum and P. zonale extracts. Evaluation of their biological activities revealed that P. zonale displayed superior antibacterial and antibiofilm activities in comparison to the other two species. The antibacterial efficacy of P. zonale was observed towards the clinically relevant strains of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) 333, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, and the Vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis INSPI 032. Fractionation analysis of P. zonale suggested that the antibacterial activity attributed to this plant is due to the presence of quercetin derivatives and kaempferol and its derivatives, alongside their synergistic interaction with gallotannins and anthocyanins. Lastly, the three Pelargonium species exhibited notable antioxidant activity, which may be attributed to their high content of total phenolic compounds.

Metabolome-based profiling of African baobab fruit ( Adansonia digitata L.) using a multiplex approach of MS and NMR techniques in relation to its biological activity. RSC Adv 2021; 11:39680-39695. [PMID: 35494142 PMCID: PMC9044842 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra08277a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Adansonia digitata L. also known as African baobab is one of the most important fruit-producing trees, widely distributed in the African continent. Baobab fruits are known to possess potential health benefits and nutritional value. This study aimed to holistically dissect the metabolome of A. digitata fruits using a novel comparative protocol using three different analytical platforms. Ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS/MS), and headspace solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) were respectively employed for phytonutrients and aroma profiling, whereas GC-MS post silylation provided an overview of nutrients i.e., sugars. UHPLC-HRMS/MS analysis allowed for the assignment of 77 metabolites, among which 50% are reported for the first time in the fruit. While GC-MS of silylated and aroma compounds led to the identification of 74 and 16 compounds, respectively. Finally, NMR-based metabolite fingerprinting permitted the quantification of the major metabolites for future standardization. In parallel, in vivo antidiabetic potential of the baobab fruit using a streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rat model was assessed. Histopathological and immune-histochemical investigations revealed hepatoprotective and renoprotective effects of A. digitata fruit along with mitigation against diabetes complications. Moreover, the administration of A. digitata fruits (150 mg kg-1) twice a week lowered fasting blood glucose levels.

Abstract
In the present work, a comprehensive phenolic analysis of fresh sugarcane juice from three different harvest seasons was performed and the effect of ohmic heating and ultrasound treatments on the phenolic content and color of the juice was evaluated. Among the 32 phenolic compounds identified, a total of 17 were quantified, comprising, in decreasing order of abundance, flavones (38-49 mg/L), dilignols (22-29 mg/L), and phenolic acid derivatives (17-30 mg/L). The main phenolic groups affected by the crop season (year and season) were flavones and phenolic acid derivatives. Juice treated by ohmic heating and ultrasound showed a total phenolic content similar to fresh juice, indicating the absence of additional non-thermal effects. Regarding color, both treatments promoted only a slight difference by visual perception. Considering these two quality parameters, ultrasound and ohmic heating seem to be a good alternative for sugarcane juice pasteurization.

Abstract
A phytochemical investigations on the n-butanol fraction of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. residues resulted in the isolation of ten compounds, including two new ones, 4,4'dimethoxy-2,2'di-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-truxinate (1) and 2-(β-d-glucosyloxy)-trans-cinnamic acid butyl ester (2), along with eight known compounds. The structures of compounds were confirmed by NMR and HR-ESI-MS techniques and comparison with published data. The NMR data for 3 were attributed for the first time. Compound 2 was proofed to be a natural compound in plant rather than a butyl ester artifact formed by esterification reaction with butanol by comparative HPLC-DAD analysis with the ethanol extract which was obtained prior to the application of butanol. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant and anti-hypoglycaemic activities. Among them, compounds 4 and 5 showed strong anti-oxidant activities against DPPH with IC50 values of 12.99 and 31.74 μM, respectively. Compound 5 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against PTP1B with an IC50 value of 31.28 μM.

Abstract
A chromatographic method was developed to separate all 10 regio- and stereoisomers of caffeoylglucose. Following chromatographic separation on reversed phase, the fragmentation behavior of all 10 regio- and stereoisomers of caffeoylglucose has been investigated using LC-MS(n). It is possible to discriminate between each of the isomers based on their characteristic fragment spectra and order of elution, including those for which commercial standards are not available. On the basis of the synthesis of authentic standards for 6-caffeoylglucose and 3-caffeoylglucose and nonselective further synthesis of suitable mixtures of isomers, it was possible to fully assign regiochemistry of all 10 isomeric compounds and stereochemistry of eight isomeric compounds. Their fragmentation pattern was rationalized based on assuming different hydrogen-bonding arrays of gas-phase ions opening distinct fragmentation pathways. An analysis of yerba maté extract showed all 10 regio- and stereoisomers of caffeoylglucose to be present in this dietary material, which could all be assigned to regioisomeric level and eight to stereoisomeric level.

Abstract
A validated analytical method for the quantitative determination of seven chemical markers occurring in a hydroalcoholic extract of Vitex agnus-castus fruits by liquid chromatography electrospray triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI/(QqQ)MSMS) is reported. To carry out a comparative study, five commercial food supplements corresponding to hydroalcoholic extracts of V. agnus-castus fruits were analysed under the same chromatographic conditions of the crude extract. Principal component analysis (PCA), based only on the variation of the amount of the seven chemical markers, was applied in order to find similarities between the hydroalcoholic extract and the food supplements. A second PCA analysis was carried out considering the whole spectroscopic data deriving from liquid chromatography electrospray linear ion trap mass spectrometry (LC/ESI/(LIT)MS) analysis. High similarity between the two PCA was observed, showing the possibility to select one of these two approaches for future applications in the field of comparative analysis of food supplements and quality control procedures.
