Abstract
Lignans are a group of natural polyphenols present in medicinal plants and in plants which are a part of the human diet for which more and more pharmacological activities, such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and cytoprotective, are being reported. However, it is their cytotoxic activities that are best understood and which have shed light on this group. Two anticancer drugs, etoposide, and teniposide, were derived from a potent cytotoxic agent—podophyllotoxin from the roots of Podophyllum peltatum. The evidence from clinical and observational studies suggests that human microbiota metabolites (enterolactone, enterodiol) of dietary lignans (secoisolariciresinol, pinoresinol, lariciresinol, matairesinol, syringaresinol, medioresinol, and sesamin) are associated with a reduced risk of some hormone-dependent cancers. The biological in vitro, pharmacological in vivo investigations, and clinical studies demand significant amounts of pure compounds, as well as the use of well-defined and standardized extracts. That is why proper extract preparation, optimization of lignan extraction, and identification are crucial steps in the development of lignan use in medicine. This review focuses on lignan extraction, purification, fractionation, separation, and isolation methods, as well as on chromatographic, spectrometric, and spectroscopic techniques for their qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Screening of Promising Chemotherapeutic Candidates from Plants against Human Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (VII): Active Principles from Thuja occidentalis L. Molecules 2021; 26:7619. [PMID: 34946696 PMCID: PMC8707666 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26247619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
During the screening of novel chemotherapeutic candidates from plants against adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, we identified that the extracts of Thuja occidentalis (Cupressaceae) showed potent anti-proliferative activity in MT-1 and MT-2 cells. Therefore, we attempted to isolate the active components from this plant. We isolated and identified 32 compounds (1-32; eight lignans, 18 terpenoids, and six flavonoids) from the extracts of the leaves and cones. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis. Several of the isolated compounds inhibited the growth of both cell lines. Lignans showed more potent activity than other classes of compounds. A comparison of the activities of compounds 1-8 revealed that the presence of a trans-lactone (linkage of C-6 to C-7) correlated with increased activity. Diterpenes showed moderate activity, and the presence of a ketone moiety at the C-7 position correlated with increased activity in compounds 12-21. In addition, biflavones showed moderate activity, and the presence of methoxy functions appeared to influence the activity of these compounds. Several lignans were lead compound of anti-cancer reagent (etoposide). In conclusion, not only lignans, but also diterpenes and/or biflavones, may be promising candidates for the treatment of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.

Abstract
Wild chervil (Anthriscus sylvestris) is a widespread, wild-growing herbaceous plant from Apiaceae family, known for high content of lignans related to podophyllotoxin, and thus representing a promising new source for their industrial isolation. The data on detailed chemical profile of A. sylvestris lignans are still lacking. By combining fractionation with non-targeted LC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS metabolite profiling, we have identified, fully or tentatively, 46 lignans, 12 of which were never reported in A. sylvestris and 19 in any biological source. The dominant lignans were found to be nemerosin, yatein, deoxypodophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxone and guayadequiol. In addition to well-known dibenzylbutyrolactones, aryltetralins and 7-oxygenated aryltetralins, we found several oxygenated lignan classes previously undescribed in A. sylvestris - 7-hydroxy, 7-oxo and 8-hydroxydibenzylbutyrolactones, a 7'-oxotetrahydrofuran and a 7-hydroxyarylnaphthalene. To facilitate future rapid classification and identification of lignans in raw extracts, UV, MS and NMR spectral features of different lignan classes are described.

Abstract
Making full use of the undeveloped bioactive natural product derivatives by selectively delivering them to target sites can effectively increase their druggability and reduce the wastage of resources. Azo-based prodrugs are widely regarded as an effective targeted delivery means for colon-related disease treatment. Herein, we report a new-type of azo-based nanoprodrug obtained from bioactive natural products, in which the readily available podophyllotoxin natural products are connected with methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) via a multifunctional azobenzene group. The amphiphilic prodrug can form nanosized micelles in water and will be highly selectively activated by azoreductases, leading to the in situ generation of anticancer podophyllotoxin derivatives (AdP) in the colon after the cleavage of the azo bond. To satisfy the demand of drug carriers for cancer combination therapy in clinics, α-CD is further introduced into this nanoprodrug micelle system to form a supramolecular hydrogel via a cascade self-assembly strategy. Using imaging mass spectrometry (IMS), the colon-specific drug release ability of the hydrogel after oral administration is demonstrated at the molecular level. Finally, the nanoprodrug hydrogel is further used as a carrier to load a hydrophilic anti-cancer drug 5-FU during the hierarchical self-assembly process and to co-deliver AdP and 5-FU for the drug combination. The combination use of AdP and 5-FU provides enhanced cytotoxicity which indicates a significant synergistic interaction. This work offers a new way to enhance the therapeutic effect of nanoprodrugs via drug combination, and provides a new strategy for reusing bioactive natural products and their derivatives.

Abstract
As our ongoing work on research of natural-product-based insecticidal agents, some 4α/β-acyloxypodophyllotoxin derivatives were synthesized, and were evaluated against the pre-third-instar larvae of B. mori, A. dissimilis and M. separate in vivo at the concentration of 1 mg ml-1, respectively. Among all derivatives, compounds 2 g, h and 4c, d showed more promising insecticidal activities than their precursors - podophyllotoxin and epipodophyllotoxin. Furthermore, derivatives 2 g, h and 4c, d exhibited more relative amicable activities than their precursors - podophyllotoxin and epipodophyllotoxin. This results indicated that 4β-acyloxy moiety in the podophyllotoxin derivatives was significant for obtaining the more potent compounds.

Abstract
The genus Bursera belongs to the family Burseraceae and has been used in traditional Mexican medicine for treating various pathophysiological disorders. The most representative phytochemicals isolated from this genus are terpenoids and lignans. Lignans are phenolic metabolites known for their antioxidant, apoptotic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-protozoal properties. Though the genus includes more than 100 species, we have attempted to summarize the biological activities of the 34 lignans isolated from selected Mexican Bursera plants.

Abstract
Etoposide susceptibility to microbiological breakdown was studied in a batch biotransformation system, in the presence or absence of artificial wastewater containing nutrients, salts and activated sludge at two concentration levels. The primary focus of the present study was to study etoposide transformation products by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Data-dependent experiments combining full-scan MS data with product ion spectra were acquired to identify the molecular ions of etoposide transformation products, to propose the molecular formulae and to elucidate their chemical structures. Due to the complexity of the matrix, visual inspection of the chromatograms showed no clear differences between the controls and the treated samples. Therefore, the software package MZmine was used to facilitate the identification of the transformation products and speed up the data analysis. In total, we propose five transformation products; among them, four are described as etoposide transformation products for the first time. Even though the chemical structures of these new compounds cannot be confirmed due to the lack of standards, their molecular formulae can be used to target them in monitoring studies.

A combination strategy for extraction and isolation of multi-component natural products by systematic two-phase solvent extraction-(13)C nuclear magnetic resonance pattern recognition and following conical counter-current chromatography separation: Podophyllotoxins and flavonoids from Dysosma versipellis (Hance) as examples. J Chromatogr A 2015; 1431:184-196.

Abstract
Despite of substantial developments of extraction and separation techniques, isolation of natural products from natural resources is still a challenging task. In this work, an efficient strategy for extraction and isolation of multi-component natural products has been successfully developed by combination of systematic two-phase liquid-liquid extraction-(13)C NMR pattern recognition and following conical counter-current chromatography separation. A small-scale crude sample was first distributed into 9 systematic hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (HEMWat) two-phase solvent systems for determination of the optimum extraction solvents and partition coefficients of the prominent components. Then, the optimized solvent systems were used in succession to enrich the hydrophilic and lipophilic components from the large-scale crude sample. At last, the enriched components samples were further purified by a new conical counter-current chromatography (CCC). Due to the use of (13)C NMR pattern recognition, the kinds and structures of major components in the solvent extracts could be predicted. Therefore, the method could collect simultaneously the partition coefficients and the structural information of components in the selected two-phase solvents. As an example, a cytotoxic extract of podophyllotoxins and flavonoids from Dysosma versipellis (Hance) was selected. After the systematic HEMWat system solvent extraction and (13)C NMR pattern recognition analyses, the crude extract of D. versipellis was first degreased by the upper phase of HEMWat system (9:1:9:1, v/v), and then distributed in the two phases of the system of HEMWat (2:8:2:8, v/v) to obtain the hydrophilic lower phase extract and lipophilic upper phase extract, respectively. These extracts were further separated by conical CCC with the HEMWat systems (1:9:1:9 and 4:6:4:6, v/v). As results, total 17 cytotoxic compounds were isolated and identified. In general, whole results suggested that the strategy was very efficient for the systematic extraction and isolation of biological active components from the complex biomaterials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hairy root cultures of Linum sp. are an alternative for the high production of lignans. Linum perenne is known to produce arylnaphthalene-type lignans such as justicidin B, isojusticidin and diphyllin. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the presence of aryltetralin-type lignan diastereoisomers, besides the known arylnaphthalene-type lignans, in hairy roots of Linum perenne, and to determine the configurations of one diastereoisomer of 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin (6-MPTOX). METHODS Lignans from hairy root cultures of Linum perenne were extracted and separated by HPLC. Arylnaphthalene-type lignans were identified by LC-MS, according to the literature. Two diastereoisomers of aryltetralin-type lignans were analysed by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. RESULTS Numerous arylnaphthalene-type lignans (diphyllin-2-hexose-pentose, diphyllin-3-pentose and diphyllin-hexose) were identified in hairy root cultures. Methoxypodophyllotoxin, an aryltetralin-type lignan, was also identified, as well as one diastereoisomer. This aryltetralin-type lignan could be derived via 7-hydroxymatairesinol as a hypothetical biosynthetic pathway. The stereochemical configurations of aryltetralin isomers were determined. CONCLUSION Arylnaphthalene and two diastereoisomers of aryltetralin-type lignans are produced in Linum perenne hairy root cultures. Matairesinol, the precursor of justicidin B, also seems to be converted into 6-MPTOX via 7-hydroxymatairesinol. This is the first report of the stereochemical configurations of an aryltetralin-type lignan other than podophyllotoxin (PTOX).

Abstract
Background: Phyllanthus urinaria L. showed significant hepatoprotective and anti-HBV activities. A sensitive and rapid HPLC–MS/MS method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of hypophyllanthin, phyllanthin, nirtetralin and niranthin from Phyllanthus urinaria L. in rat plasma. The analytes were extracted from rat plasma with n-hexane/isopropanol and diazepam was used as the internal standard. Results: The calibration curves were linear (r > 0.9971) over a concentration range of 2–1000 ng/ml for hypophyllanthin and nirtetralin, and 1–1000 ng/ml for phyllanthin and niranthin. The precision, accuracy, recovery and stability were deemed acceptable. Conclusion: The HPLC–MS/MS method was successfully applied to a PK study of the four lignans in rats after oral administration of Phyllanthus urinaria L. extract.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lignans and flavonols are the primary constituents of Sinopodophyllum emodi and have been used as cathartic, anthelmintic, chemotherapeutic and anti-hypertensive compounds. Although these compounds have been isolated, there have been no reports on the separation of 4'-demethyl podophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxin, deoxypodophyllotoxin and kaempferol in one step by medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) and high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). OBJECTIVE Development of an efficient method for the preparative separation and purification of three lignans and one flavonol from S. emodi. METHODS The precipitate of crude extracts was first separated by MPLC into four parts, numbered GJ-1, GJ-2, GJ-3 and GJ-4. GJ-1 was separated and purified by HSCCC using a solvent system composed of n-hexane:ethyl acetate:methanol:water (1.75:1.5:1:0.75, v/v/v/v). The purities of the target compounds were assessed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and chemical structures were identified by (1) H-NMR and (13) C-NMR. RESULTS The HSCCC and MPLC methods were successfully used for the preparative separation and purification of 4'-demethyl podophyllotoxin (8.5 mg, 92.4%), podophyllotoxin (40.1 mg, 92.1%), deoxypodophyllotoxin (4.6 mg, 98.1%), and kaempferol (1.6 mg, 96.7%) from a 100 mg sample. CONCLUSION Three lignans (4'-demethyl podophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxin, deoxypodophyllotoxin) and one flavonol (kaempferol) were successfully isolated by HSCCC and MPLC in one step.

Abstract
In continuation of our program aimed at the discovery and development of natural-product-based insecticidal agents, we have prepared three series of novel 4α-(acyloxy)-2'(2',6')-(di)halogenopodophyllotoxin derivatives modified in the C and E rings of podophyllotoxin, which is a naturally occurring aryltetralin lignan isolated from the roots and rhizomes of Podophyllum hexandrum . Their structures were well characterized by (1)H NMR, HRMS, ESI-MS, optical rotation, and mp. The stereochemical configurations of compounds 5s, 6b, 6d, and 7q were unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their insecticidal activity was evaluated against the pre-third-instar larvae of oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata Walker, in vivo at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. These derivatives likely displayed the antimolting hormone effect. Among all the derivatives, especially compounds 5a, 5n, 7f, 7n, and 7w exhibited the most potent insecticidal activity with final mortality rates of 70% or so. This suggested that a chlorine or bromine atom introduced at the C2' or C2' and C6' positions on the E ring of podophyllotoxin was necessary for obtaining the potent compounds. This will pave the way for further design, structural modification, and development of podophyllotoxin derivatives as insecticidal agents.

Abstract
In China, traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have been used in clinical applications for thousands of years. The successful hyphenation of high-Performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) has been applied widely in TCMs and biological samples analysis. Undoubtedly, HPLC/MS technique has facilitated the understanding of the treatment mechanism of TCMs. We reviewed more than 350 published papers within the last 5 years on HPLC/MS in the analysis of TCMs. The present review focused on the applications of HPLC/MS in the component analysis, metabolites analysis, and pharmacokinetics of TCMs etc. 50% of the literature is related to the component analysis of TCMs, which show that this field is the most populär type of research. In the metabolites analysis, HPLC coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry has been demonstrated to be the powerful tool for the characterization of structural features and fragmentation behavior patterns. This paper presented a brief overview of the applications of HPLC/MS in the analysis of TCMs. HPLC/MS in the fingerprint analysis is reviewed elsewhere.

Abstract
Cefprozil (CPZ) is a second-generation semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic that commonly exists as the mixture of Z and E diastereoisomers, at the ratio of approximately 9:1. A novel reversed-phase HPLC method for the determination of CPZ in tablets was described. The separation of CPZ diastereoisomers and caffeine (internal standard) was carried out by applying the same analytical and instrumental conditions on two stationary phases, which have different surface chemistries. The columns used in the study were monolithic silica Merck Chromolith Performance RP-18e and conventional C18 silica Phenomenex Synergi Hydro RP columns. In total, 10 μL aliquots of samples were injected into the system and eluted using water-acetonitrile (90:10, v/v) solution, which was pumped through the column at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The analyte peaks were detected at 200 nm using diode array detector with high specificity. CPZ diastereoisomers and caffeine were measured within 13 min using the C18 column, whereas <5 min was required for the monolithic one. Validation studies were performed according to official recommendations. Value of a monolithic column for the assay of diastereoisomers in pharmaceutical tablets was evaluated for the first time and found as a powerful alternative to highly efficient C18 columns.

Abstract
A rapid and stable method consisting of high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was established for the identification and differentiation of common diastereoisomeric ursane-type triterpenoids at the C-3 position. Two characteristic fragment ions, [M-H-H(2) O-CO(2)](-) and [M-H-H(2)O-HCOOH](-) , exhibited significant stereochemical effects and were utilized to distinguish 3-OH epimers. Based on reference standards, the abundance of the fragment ion [M-H-H(2)O-HCOOH](-) in 3β-OH compounds in the MS(3) experiment was dramatically higher compared to [M-H-H(2) O-CO(2)](-); however, for 3α-OH compounds, the product ion [M-H-H(2) O-CO(2)](-) was noted to be higher than [M-H-H(2)O-HCOOH](-). Energy-resolved mass spectrometric experiments were carried out to support the differentiation of these diastereoisomeric triterpenoids at the C-3 position. Using this method, a total of nine ursane-type triterpenoids from a plant crude extract, including four pairs of epimers at the C-3 position, were identified and distinguished rapidly. Furthermore, offline Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance tandem mass spectrometry was also performed to assign accurate elemental compositions.
