Abstract
Dioscoreae nipponica Makino (D. nipponica) as the rhizome of dioscoreaceae rich in steroidal saponins, has been reported to have the hypolipidemic effects etc. However, it is still unclear which exact active components are primary responsible for the beneficial effects. This study was conducted to fish out the lipase inhibitors from D. nipponica, and evaluate the inhibitory activity on porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) through in vitro kinetic assay using p-nitrophenyl palmitate as substrate. Accordingly, the ethanolic extract was subjected to D101 macroporous resin purification for spectrophotometric screening, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation and structural characterization by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Through orlistat validation, the PPL inhibitory activity and IC50 value of the extract were respectively 68.34 ± 1.47 % and 107.05 μg/mL under the optimized inhibition conditions. From 6 steroidal saponins identified, the inhibitory components named the protodioscin, protogracillin, dioscin and gracillin were fished out by grouping separation and HPLC analysis. Furthermore, dioscin and gracillin with the parent structure of diogenin were confirmed as the major inhibitors by virtue of stability tests based on transformation of protodioscin and protogracillin. Finally, the inhibitory mechanism of the major inhibitors toward PPL was further clarified by kinetic analysis and molecular docking analysis. The proposed method not only revealed the PPL inhibitory components in D. nipponica, but also provided an effective approach to hierarchical screening of PPL inhibitors from natural plants.

AAPS PharmSciTech 2022; 23:60. [PMID: 35059900 PMCID: PMC8816488 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-021-02185-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Development of orodispersible minitablets (ODMTs) requires consideration of aspects related to small dimensions, while ensuring short disintegration time with sufficient mechanical stability. In order to meet these and other critical quality attributes (CQAs), quality by design is encouraged. According to this approach, formulation and compression process factors were systematically studied using design of experiments (Plackett-Burman for screening purposes, full and fractional factorial design for in-depth characterization) to understand their influence on CQAs of orodispersible minitablets containing melatonin. Mathematical models describing the relationships between processing variables and attributes such as resistance to crushing and disintegration time were successfully developed, characterized by high coefficients of determination (R2adj = 0.90-0.97) and prediction errors in the range (+2.4 to -10.8%). In conclusion, based on these models, the design space was created for melatonin ODMTs, ensuring the product's quality and process robustness. Moreover, the study demonstrated the suitability of texture analysis as an alternative to compendial measurement methods of resistance to crushing and disintegration time. Graphical abstract.

Anti-obesity effect of Auricularia heimuer fruiting body alcohol extraction on obese mice and crucial metabolite pathway analysis by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. J Food Biochem 2021; 46:e14002. [PMID: 34850407 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2021] [Revised: 10/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, the increasing obese and overweight population has become a worldwide public health problem, as there is no effective medication to control obesity. Auricularia heimuer is rich in active substances that have potential biologically active functions. The anti-obesity effect and mechanism of Auricularia heimuer fruiting body alcohol extraction (AHA, 150-600 mg/kg·bw) was investigated in obese mice by assessing changes in endogenous liver metabolites using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry approach. The aim of this study was to identify an effective food to control human obesity. AHA of 600 mg/kg·bw (HC) significantly decreased body weight and improved serum biochemistry indices. Sixty-eight liver metabolites were identified and significantly separated among the normal, high-fat diet (HFD), and HC groups. Moreover, the metabolic analysis revealed that HC significantly regulated specific metabolites in mice including amino acids, lipids, and carbohydrate compounds. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis revealed that HC was significantly involved in different metabolite pathways including arachidonic acid metabolism, galactose metabolism, carbohydrate digestion and absorption, linoleic acid metabolism, and starch and sucrose metabolism. Eight weeks after supplementing with HC, major metabolites in related pathways that were disrupted by an HFD were restored to normal levels, suggesting that HC had anti-obesity activity.
