[PMID: 36716528 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2023.115270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Lactose is one of the most commonly used pharmaceutical excipients. Depending on manufactures, the properties of lactose are very different, which could impact the pharmacokinetic behavior of drug products. Therefore, it is very important to trace the origin of pharmaceutical lactose in drug products which is valuable for prescription analysis. In this study, the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen isotope ratios (δ13C, δ2H and δ18O) of thirty-four lactose from seven manufacturers were analyzed by elemental analysis-stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA-IRMS). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's test indicated significant differences in isotope ratios of lactose from different origins. To identify the lactose manufacturer, a discrimination model was generated through linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Based on this model, the manufacturers of lactose used in three drug products were successfully identified. Our results suggested that the multidimensional analysis of δ13C, δ2H and δ18O of lactose provided a fast and effective method to trace the lactose manufacturer. In conclusion, this method can be used to analyze the prescription of the drug product quickly, which could speed up the development of generic drug product.

Abstract
This paper presents a method for the protected geographical indication discrimination of Ophiopogon japonicus from Zhejiang and elsewhere using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics. A total of 3657 Ophiopogon japonicus samples from five major production areas in China were analyzed by NIR spectroscopy, and divided into 2127 from Zhejiang and 1530 from other areas ('non-Zhejiang'). Principal component analysis (PCA) was selected to screen outliers and eliminate them. Monte Carlo cross validation (MCCV) was introduced to divide the training set and test set according to a ratio of 3:7. The raw spectra were preprocessed by nine single and partial combination methods such as the standard normal variable (SNV) and derivative, and then modeled by partial least squares regression (PLSR), a support vector machine (SVM), and soft independent modeling of class analogies (SIMCA). The effects of different pretreatment and chemometrics methods on the model are discussed. The results showed that the three pattern recognition methods were effective in geographical origin tracing, and selecting the appropriate preprocessing method could improve the traceability accuracy. The accuracy of PLSR after the standard normal variable was better, with R2 reaching 0.9979, while that of the second derivative was the lowest with an R2 of 0.9656. After the SNV pretreatment, the accuracy of the training set and test set of SVM reached the highest values, which were 99.73% and 98.40%, respectively. The accuracy of SIMCA pretreated with SNV and MSC was the highest for the origin traceability of Ophiopogon japonicus, which could reach 100%. The distance between the two classification models of SIMCA-SNV and SIMCA-MSC is greater than 3, indicating that the SIMCA model has good performance.

Abstract
Geographical origin and authenticity are two core factors to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs perception in terms of quality and price. Therefore, they are important to both sellers and consumers. Herein, we propose an efficient, accurate method for discrimination of genuine and non-authentic producing areas of TCM by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Take Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz (AMK) of compositae as an example, the MALDI-TOF MS spectra data of 120 AMK samples aided by principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and random forest (RF) successfully differentiated Zhejiang province, Anhui province and Hunan province AMK according to their geographical location of origin. The correct classification rates of test set were above 93.3%. Furthermore, 5 recollected AMK samples were used to verify the performance of the classification models. The outcome of this study can be a good resource in building a database for AMK. The combined utility of MALDI-TOF MS and chemometrics is expected to be expanded and applied to the origin traceability of other TCMs. The flow chart for geographical origin traceability of AMK based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry combined with chemometrics.![]()

Abstract
Multi-elemental analysis is widely used to identify the geographical origins of plants. The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of combining chemometrics with multi-element analysis for classification of Codonopsis Radix from different producing regions of Gansu province (China). A total of 117 Codonopsis Radix samples from 7 counties of Gansu province were collected. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used for the determination of 28 elements (39 K, 24 Mg, 44Ca, 27Al, 137Ba, 57Fe, 23Na, 88Sr, 55Mn, 66Zn, 65Cu, 85Rb, 61Ni, 53Cr, 51 V, 7Li, 208Pb, 59Co, 75As, 133Cs, 71 Ga, 77Se, 205Tl, 114Cd, 238U, 107Ag, 4Be and 202Hg). Among macro elements, 39 K showed the highest level, whereas 23Na was found to have the lowest content value. Micro elements showed the concentrations order of: 88Sr > 55Mn > 66Zn > 85Rb > 65Cu. Among trace elements, 53Cr and 61Ni showed higher content and 4Be was not detected in all samples. Intra-regions differentiation was performed by principal component analysis (PCA), cluster analysis (CA) and supervised learning algorithms such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), support vector machines (SVM), and random forests (RF). Among them, the RF model performed the best with an accuracy rate of 78.79%. Multi-elemental analysis combined with RF was a reliable method to identify the origins of Codonopsis Radix in Gansu province.

Abstract
Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. (AM) is an important plant of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and its status can be comparable with ginseng in China. The efficacy and quality of AM are closely related to the place of origin. Hence, we proposed a simple and fast strategy to classify AM from different geographical origins by using multi-way fluorescence fingerprint combined with chemometric methods. AM samples with different dilution levels have different fluorescence characteristics, resulting from different content of fluorescence components and chemical microenvironment. Therefore, AM samples were diluted 5-fold, 10-fold, and 20-fold with 40% ethanol aqueous solution to obtain excitation-emission matrix data, and multi-way (three-way and four-way) data arrays were constructed. And then, the fluorescence fingerprints of AM samples were characterized by three-way and four-way parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). In addition, four pattern recognition methods were used to classify AM from different provinces. The results show that the four-way data array can provide more abundant information than three-way data arrays, so it is more conducive to sample classification. According to the results obtained from the analysis of four-way data array, the correct classification rate (CCR) of the cross-validation and prediction set obtained by partial least squares-discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) were 90.5% and 100%, respectively. To sum up, the proposed method can be regarded as a powerful, feasible, convenient, reliable, and universal classification tool for the classification of AM samples from different provinces and can be used as a promising method to realize the geographical origin traceability of other TCMs.

Abstract
To develop sophisticated approaches for distinguishing goji origins, 325 wolfberry fruit samples of a certain cultivar, plant age, drying method, and collection season were gathered from 26 producing areas across Northwest China in 2017 and 2018. We employed 49 indices, including stable isotopes, earth elements, soluble amino acids, and saccharides, to identify the regions of origin of these goji fruits. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and heritability analysis were used to assess the effects of the environment (producing areas), cultivar, plant age, drying process, and collection season. Samples from the same place can be classified and partially discriminated using principal component analysis (PCA). We were able to distinguish fruits produced in Zhongning County from those produced in the other five producing provinces using orthogonal projection to latent structure-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), ornithine (Orn), cystine (Cys-Cys), glutamate (Glu), phenylalanine (Phe), phosphoserine (Ps), serine (Ser), lysine (Lys), taurine (Tau), proline (Pro), and tyrosine (Tyr) indices were chosen using S-plots and heritability analysis, and their repeatability was established with samples collected in 2018. The indices selected in this study can distinguish goji berries produced in Zhongning County from fruits originating from five other Provinces with high repeatability, which was validated with various cultivars, drying methods, harvest seasons, and plant ages and with heritability analysis.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2022; 36:e9215. [PMID: 34687096 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.9215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2021] [Revised: 03/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE In recent years, white tea has become increasingly popular. Some merchants confuse the age of white tea and sell poor-quality products for profit. Therefore, it is necessary to provide technical support for product authentication and valorization in white tea of different marked ages. METHODS Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected by proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS) and identified as volatile fingerprints. PTR-TOF-MS combined with multivariate analysis was found to identify white tea of four different marked ages (1, 3, 5, and 8 years) for authentication. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used as classification models to identify key volatile metabolites. RESULTS The OPLS-DA model achieved the best results (96.67%, 96.67%, 96.67%, and 96.67% in the training set and 96.00%, 96.00%, 100%, and 100% in the prediction set for 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 8-year tea samples, respectively), showing that PTR-TOF-MS with the OPLS-DA model could successfully be used in the identification of white tea with different marked ages. Out of the 60 identified VOCs, 26 volatile materials were closely correlated with tea age and were used as markers to discriminate white tea of different ages. CONCLUSIONS PTR-TOF-MS coupled with multivariate analysis could be applied for quality evaluation of tea products of different ages and provided a feasible technical support for product authentication and valorization in white tea of different marked ages.

Abstract
The endophytic bacterial community and their diversity are closely related to the host's growth and development. This paper explores the culturable endophytic bacteria in the stems, leaves, roots and rhizomes of Atractylodes macrocephala (AM) of four localities (Yuqian, Wenxian, Pan'an and Pingjiang) and the potential correlation between the bacteria and plant bioactive compounds. A total of 118 endophytic bacteria belonging to 3 phyla, 5 classes, 11 orders, 26 families and 48 genera were isolated and identified from the four AM tissues. Among them, Bacillus was the dominant genus. In AM, the tissue type and locality influenced the endophytic bacterial community. Approximately 29.7 and 28.8% of the endophytic bacteria exhibited tissue specificity and geographic specificity, respectively. Furthermore, high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that the sesquiterpenoid (atractylenolide I, atractylenolide Ⅱ and atractylon) content was more in the rhizomes of Wenxian than in those of Pingjiang, Yuqian and Pan'an. The multiple linear regression was used to screen the bacterial strains related to the bioactive compounds of AM. The relative frequency of Microbacterium positively correlated with atractylenolide I and atractylon content in AM but negatively correlated with atractylenolide Ⅱ content. The study also provides a theoretical framework for future research on endophytic bacteria as alternative sources of secondary plant metabolites.

Abstract
Atractylodis macrocephalae Rhizoma (AMR) is a famous classical Chinese traditional medicine (CTM), which has been used as a tonic for many diseases for thousands of years. In ancient China, it was used as a supplementary food for beauty in the palace. In preliminary studies, the function of whitening skin and the significant inhibiting effect on tyrosinase (TYR) which is the reactive enzyme in the composition of melanin of AMR were discovered, and the relevant research was rarely reported. In this study, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) along with partial least squares regression analysis (PLS) was applied to survey the coherence between the chemical constituents and the inhibiting activity of 11 batches of AMR on TYR activity. The results of PLS showed that the chromatographic peaks 11 (atractylenolide III) and 15 could be important effective ingredients of the inhibition TYR activity as ascertained by spectrum-activity relationships. Furthermore, TYR inhibitory activity of atractylenolide III was validated by in vitro test by β-arbutin served as a positive control drug. The results of the in vitro test and the molecular docking showed that atractylenolide III has high TYR inhibitory activity and could link to the residues in TYR catalytic pocket. Therefore, bioassay, molecular docking, and spectrum-activity relationships are appropriate for linking the quality of samples with pharmaceutical-related active ingredients. And our studying would lay a theoretical foundation for applying the water extracts of AMR in whitening cosmetics.

Kuijieling decoction suppresses NLRP3-Mediated pyroptosis to alleviate inflammation and experimental colitis in vivo and in vitro. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 264:113243. [PMID: 32781258 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.113243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/02/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an autoimmune disease. Although the mortality rate of UC is not very high, it has a considerable morbidity rate and an unsatisfactory cure rate. Without effective treatment, UC is likely to develop into colon cancer. Kuijieling (KJL) is an effective empirical formula to treat UC in the clinical setting, and it has been proven to have curative effects against UC. AIM OF THE STUDY In a previous study, we demonstrated that KJL could suppress NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) to reduce inflammatory cytokines and alleviate UC. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of KJL in more detail, from the perspective of pyroptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We established a dextran sulfate sodium-induced UC mouse model and RAW264.7 cells to measure different indicators with different experimental methods. The efficiency of KJL was evaluated by measuring the length and unit weight of mouse colons, and assessment of pathological injury was performed using HE staining. We detected different expression levels of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), caspase-1, gasdermin-D C-terminal domain (GSDMD-C), gasdermin-D N-terminal domain (GSDMD-N), IL-1β, and IL-18 in colon tissues and cells using RT-qPCR and western blotting. Immunohistochemistry was used for tissues and immunofluorescence for cells to confirm protein expression. IL-1β and IL-18 were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in serum, tissue, and cell culture supernatant. MiR-223 was detected using RT-qPCR. RESULTS After administration of KJL suspension, colon damage in KJL groups was milder than in model groups. ASC, caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 mRNA levels in colon tissue were decreased to different degrees in the KJL groups. Protein expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, GSDMD-N, IL-1β, and IL-18 in vivo decreased significantly in the KJL groups. In addition, Mir-223 level decreased in colon tissue of the KJL groups. In vitro, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, GSDMD-N, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels decreased to varying degrees, at both mRNA and protein levels. Mir-223 was lower in the KJL groups than in the model group. Furthermore, KJL was shown to regulate the level of miR-223, which returned to normal after its expression was inhibited or promoted, and the levels of associated indicators also returned to normal after transfection. CONCLUSIONS KJL is able to inhibit pyroptosis to alleviate UC, but these suppression effects were not mediated through miR-223 regulation.

Abstract
The rhizome of the plant Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz is the major constituent of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Baizhu, frequently used to treat gastro-intestinal diseases. Many traditional medicine prescriptions based on Baizhu and the similar preparation Cangzhu are used in China, Korea and Japan as Qi-booster. These preparations contain atractylenolides, a small group of sesquiterpenoids endowed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Atractylenolides I, II and III also display significant anticancer properties, reviewed here. The capacity of AT-I/II/IIII to inhibit cell proliferation and to induce cancer cell death have been analyzed, together with their effects of angiogenesis, metastasis, cell differentiation and stemness. The immune-modulatory properties of ATs are discussed. AT-I has been tested clinically for the treatment of cancer-induced cachexia with encouraging results. ATs, alone or combined with cytotoxic drugs, could be useful to treat cancers or to reduce side effects of radio and chemotherapy. Several signaling pathways have been implicated in their multi-targeted mechanisms of action, in particular those involving the central regulators TLR4, NFκB and Nrf2. A drug-induced reduction of inflammatory cytokines production (TNFα, IL-6) also characterizes these molecules which are generally weakly cytotoxic and well tolerated in vivo. Inhibition of Janus kinases (notably JAK2 and JAK3 targeted by AT-I and AT-III, respectively) has been postulated. Information about their metabolism and toxicity are limited but the long-established traditional use of the Atractylodes and the diversity of anticancer effects reported with AT-I and AT-III should encourage further studies with these molecules and structurally related natural products.

Abstract
RATIONALE White tea has become very popular in recent years, but there has been no scientific identification of white tea from different origins. For product authentication and valorization, every kind of white tea must be marked with an indication of its origin. METHODS Volatile profiles of white tea leaf samples from their main origins in China (Fuding City, Zhenghe City and Jianyang City) were analyzed using proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-TOFMS). Tentative identifications of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were obtained by PTR-TOFMS of the headspace. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed to evaluate the differences among the various origins. RESULTS Teas from different origins were shown to have characteristic VOCs and profiles. Thus, white teas from different origins could be separated by characterizing the volatile emissions from the dry tea leaves. The ability of the two classification models to use the volatile fingerprints in origin discrimination was investigated. CONCLUSIONS Two classification models (PCA and OPLS-DA) were applied to the PTR-TOFMS data obtained from the VOCs of various white teas. The classification models were shown to be useful in identifying the origin of white tea samples, providing a reference for white tea identification.
