Abstract
Vine tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata), a traditional Chinese tea, is rich in flavonoids with various biological activities. Our study found that Vine tea total flavonoids (TFs) treatment reduced the body mass and blood lipid levels and improved the hepatic tissue morphology in mice fed the high-fat diet (HFD). In vivo, TF treatment activated the hepatic adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, initiated autophagy, and regulated the expression levels of proteins for lipid metabolism in those HFD-fed mice. In vitro, TF treatment dramatically reduced the lipid droplets and triacylglycerol content in HepG2 and L02 cells treated with oleic acid (OA). These were associated with the activation of the AMPK/mTOR pathway and autophagy initiation in OA-treated hepatocytes. This phenotype was abolished in the presence of 3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor. Our results indicated that the TF activation of AMPK/mTOR leads to the stimulation of autophagy and a decrease in the buildup of intracellular lipids in hepatocytes, showing the potential of TF as a therapeutic agent for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Vine tea, a tea drink, has been consumed by Chinese folk for over a thousand years. The result of this study will provide evidence that vine tea total flavonoids have potential use as a functional material for the prevention and amelioration of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Screening of potent α-glucosidase inhibitory and antioxidant polyphenols in Prunella vulgaris L. by bioreaction-HPLC-quadrupole-time-of-flight-MS/MS and in silico analysis. J Sep Sci 2022; 45:3393-3403. [PMID: 35819998 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202200374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Prunella vulgaris L. is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine for blood glucose homeostasis and antioxidant potential. Ethyl acetate fraction of P. vulgaris L. demonstrated higher phenolic content (85.53 ± 6.74 mg gallic acid equivalents per gram dry weight), α-glucosidase inhibitory (IC50 , 69.13 ± 2.86 μg/mL), and antioxidant (IC50 , 8.68 ± 1.01 μg/mL) activities. However, the bioactive polyphenols responsible for the beneficial properties remain unclear. Here, bioreaction-HPLC-quadrupole-time-of-flight-MS/MS method was developed for rapid, accurate, and efficient screening and identification of polyphenols with α-glucosidase inhibitory and antioxidant activities from P. vulgaris L. Bioactive polyphenols can specifically bind with α-glucosidase or react with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical, which was easily discriminated from nonactive compounds. Subsequently, twenty bioactive polyphenols (sixteen phenyl propionic acid derivatives and four flavonoids) were screened and identified. Furthermore, molecular docking analysis revealed that screened twenty polyphenols bind with the active sites of α-glucosidase through hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated their electron transport ability and chemical reactivity. The in silico analysis confirmed the screened results. In summary, this study provided a valuable strategy for rapid discovering bioactive compounds from complex natural products, and offered scientific evidence for further development and application of P. vulgaris L.

Abstract
Siparuna glycycarpa occurs in the Amazon region, and some species of this genus are used in Brazilian folk medicine. A recent study showed the inhibitory effect of this species against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, and in order to acquire active fractions, a polar solvent system n-butanol-methanol-water (9:1:10, v/v) was selected and used for bioassay-guided fractionation of n-butanol extract by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC). The upper phase was used as stationary phase and the lower phase as mobile (descending mode). Among the collected fractions, the ones coded SGA, SGC, SGD, and SGO showed the highest antiviral inhibition levels (above 74%) at 100 µg·mL-1 after 24 h of infection. The bioactive fractions chemical profiles were investigated by LC-HRMS/MS data in positive and negative ionization modes exploring the Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) platform to build a molecular network. Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids were annotated in the fractions coded SGA, SGC, and SGD collected during elution step. Aporphine alkaloids, O-glycosylated flavonoids, and dihydrochalcones in SGO were acquired with the change of mobile phase from lower aqueous to upper organic. Benzylisoquinolinic and aporphine alkaloids as well as glycosylated flavonoids were annotated in the most bioactive fractions suggesting this group of compounds as responsible for antiviral activity.

Abstract
Vine tea has been used as an herbal tea by several ethnic minorities for hundreds of years in China. Flavonoids, a kind of indispensable component in a variety of nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, are identified to be the major metabolites and bioactive ingredients in vine tea. Interestingly, vine tea exhibits a wide range of significant bioactivities including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antidiabetic, neuroprotective and other activities, but no toxicity. These bioactivities, to some extent, enrich the understanding about the role of vine tea in disease prevention and therapy. The health benefits of vine tea, particularly dihydromyricetin and myricetin, are widely investigated. However, there is currently no comprehensive review available on vine tea. Therefore, this report summarizes the most recent studies investigating bioactive constituents, pharmacological effects and possible mechanisms of vine tea, which will provide a better understanding about the health benefits and preclinical assessment of novel application of vine tea.

Exploring the genes involved in biosynthesis of dihydroquercetin and dihydromyricetin in Ampelopsis grossedentata. Sci Rep 2021; 11:15596. [PMID: 34341423 PMCID: PMC8329223 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-95071-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/21/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Dihydroquercetin (DHQ), an extremely low content compound (less than 3%) in plants, is an important component of dietary supplements and used as functional food for its antioxidant activity. Moreover, as downstream metabolites of DHQ, an extremely high content of dihydromyricetin (DHM) is up to 38.5% in Ampelopsis grossedentata. However, the mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis and regulation from DHQ to DHM in A. grossedentata remain unclear. In this study, a comparative transcriptome analysis of A. grossedentata containing extreme amounts of DHM was performed on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing platform. A total of 167,415,597 high-quality clean reads were obtained and assembled into 100,584 unigenes having an N50 value of 1489. Among these contigs, 57,016 (56.68%) were successfully annotated in seven public protein databases. From the differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis, 926 DEGs were identified between the B group (low DHM: 210.31 mg/g) and D group (high DHM: 359.12 mg/g) libraries, including 446 up-regulated genes and 480 down-regulated genes (B vs. D). Flavonoids (DHQ, DHM)-related DEGs of ten structural enzyme genes, three myeloblastosis transcription factors (MYB TFs), one basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) TF, and one WD40 domain-containing protein were obtained. The enzyme genes comprised three PALs, two CLs, two CHSs, one F3'H, one F3'5'H (directly converts DHQ to DHM), and one ANS. The expression profiles of randomly selected genes were consistent with the RNA-seq results. Our findings thus provide comprehensive gene expression resources for revealing the molecular mechanism from DHQ to DHM in A. grossedentata. Importantly, this work will spur further genetic studies about A. grossedentata and may eventually lead to genetic improvements of the DHQ content in this plant.

Counter-Current Fractionation-Assisted Bioassay-Guided Separation of Active Compound from Blueberry and the Interaction between the Active Compound and α-Glucosidase. Foods 2021; 10:foods10030509.

Abstract
An efficient strategy for the selection of active compounds from blueberry based on counter-current fractionation and bioassay-guided separation was established in this study. Blueberry extract showed potential α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. After extraction by different solvents, the active components were enriched in water. The water extract was divided into six fractions via high-speed counter-current chromatography to further track the active components. Results indicated that the α-glucosidase inhibition rate of F4 was remarkable higher than the others. Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) with a purity of 94.16% was successfully separated from F4 through column chromatography, and its structure was identified by ultraviolet spectral, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and 13C NMR. The interaction mechanism between C3G and α-glucosidase was clearly characterized and described by spectroscopic methods, including fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) in combination with molecular docking techniques. C3G could spontaneously bind with α-glucosidase to form complexes by hydrogen bonds. The secondary structure of α-glucosidase changed in varying degrees after complexation with C3G. The α-helical and β-turn contents of α-glucosidase decreased, whereas the β-sheet content and the irregular coil structures increased. Molecular docking speculated that C3G could form hydrogen bonds with α-glucosidase by binding to the active sit (Leu 313, Ser 157, Tyr 158, Phe 314, Arg 315, and two Asp 307). These findings may be useful for the development of functional foods to tackle type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Plant diseases have been threatening food production. Controlling plant pathogens has become an important strategy to ensure food security. Although chemical control is an effective disease control strategy, its application is limited by many problems, such as environmental impact and pathogen resistance. In order to overcome these problems, it is necessary to develop more chemical reagents with new functional mechanisms. Due to their special living environment, marine organisms have produced a variety of bioactive compounds with novel structures, which have the potential to develop new fungicides. In the past two decades, screening marine bioactive compounds to inhibit plant pathogens has been a hot topic. In this review, we summarize the screening methods of marine active substances from plant pathogens, the identification of marine active substances from different sources, and the structure and antibacterial mechanism of marine active natural products. Finally, the application prospect of marine bioactive substances in plant disease control was prospected.

Abstract
Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is a traditional plant-extracted flavonoid with some health benefits. This study aimed to metabolically engineer the strains for DHM bioproduction. Two strains of BK-11 and BQ-21 were integrated with flavonoid 3-hydroxylase (F3H) or both F3H and flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (F3'H). The resulting strains have expressed the enzymes of GmCPR and SlF3'5'H, and then, the promoters of INO1p and TDH1p were used to enhance further the DHM production from naringenin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Through multiple-copy integration, 709.6 mg/L DHM was obtained by adding 2.5 g/L naringenin in a 5 L bioreactor, implying that the synergistic effect between F3'H and flavonoid 3'5'-hydroxylase is likely to promote the DHM production. An yield of 246.4 mg/L DHM was obtained from glucose by deleting genes for branch pathways and integrating PhCHS, MsCHI, Pc4CL, and FjTAL. To our knowledge, this is the highest production reported for the de novo biosynthesis of DHM.

Strategy for the separation of strongly polar antioxidant compounds from Lycium barbarum L. via high-speed counter-current chromatography. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2020; 1153:122268. [PMID: 32739789 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2020.122268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2020] [Revised: 05/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
In the separation of strongly polar antioxidant compounds from natural products using high-speed counter-current chromatography that is target-guided by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl high-performance liquid chromatography experimentation, low adsorption ability is encountered due to the strong polarity of the target compounds. In this study, a strategy of novel partition coefficient value calculation was proposed for overcoming this problem. The partition coefficient value was expressed as the ratio of the antioxidant activities of the upper phase and the lower phase. This strategy was used in high-speed counter-current chromatography with a hydrophilic organic/salt-containing aqueous two-phase system for bioassay-guided separation of strongly polar antioxidant compounds from Lycium barbarum L. The antioxidant activity was determined via the radical scavenging activity method using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals. A hydrophilic organic/salt-containing aqueous two-phase system of 95% EtOH - sat. (NH4)2SO4 (1:1.8, v/v) was successfully used to separate Lycium barbarum L. extract. Five fractions were collected via high-speed counter-current chromatography separation. The antioxidant activity of the third fraction was the highest. Three compounds were separated via MCI gel column chromatography and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography from the third fraction, and their antioxidant activities were determined. The antioxidant activities of the three compounds were higher than that of the third fraction. These results demonstrate that this strategy can be used to separate strongly polar antioxidant compounds from natural products.

Abstract
Ampelopsis grossedentata (Hand.-Mazz.) W. T. Wang is rich in flavonoids and also displays excellent pharmacological activities. The phylogenetic relationship between A. grossedentata and other related Vitaceae family members remains unclear. The chloroplast (cp) genome is a useful model for assessing genome evolution. In this study, we assembled the cp genome of A. grossedentata using the high-throughput Illumina pair-end sequencing data and characterized the genome to providing useful information for future genetic studies. The circular cp genome was 162,147 bp in size, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,244 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,439 bp, which were separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions (27,232 bp each). A total of 135 genes were predicted, including 8 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 37 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and 90 protein-coding genes (PCGs). Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. grossedentata within Ampelopsis genus and formed a different clade from other three congeneric species. This study provides useful information for future genetic study of A. grossedentata.

Abstract
Antioxidants play an essential role in human health, as they have been found to be capable of lowering the incidence of many diseases, such as cancer and angiocardiopathy. Currently, more attention is paid to natural antioxidants because of the possible insecurity of synthetic antioxidants. Thus, the development of efficient techniques or methods to separate antioxidants from natural sources is requested urgently. High-speed counter current chromatography (HSCCC) is a unique support-free liquid-liquid chromatographic technique and has been widely applied in the field of separation of natural products. In this review, we summarize and analyze the related researches on the application of HSCCC in the separation of various natural antioxidants so far. The purpose of the article is to provide a certain theoretical support for the separation of natural antioxidants by HSCCC, and to make full use of advantages of HSCCC in the separation of bioactive components. In particular, some key problems associated with the separation strategies, the structural categories of natural antioxidants, solvent system choices, and the application of different elution modes in HSCCC separation, are summarized and commented. We expect that the content reviewed can offer more evidence for the development of the field of natural antioxidants separation, so as to achieve large-scale preparation of natural antioxidants.

Abstract
Acrylamide is a harmful substance that could be inhibited by natural products. Vine tea is an edible herb belonging to the Vitaceae family and has been approved by Chinese authorities as a new food ingredient in 2013. However, the effects of vine tea extract on acrylamide formation and bread quality are rarely investigated. In this study, the polyphenol composition of hot-water extract from vine tea was characterized by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-HRMS/MS), and its effects on acrylamide formation, quality, and consumer acceptability of bread were investigated. Vine tea extract and its main polyphenol, dihydromyricetin, significantly inhibited the acrylamide formation in bread, especially the low dose of vine tea extract (1.25 g/kg), which decreased the acrylamide formation by 58.23%. The color and texture of bread were significantly affected by vine tea extract or dihydromyricetin, whereas the moisture content was not changed remarkably. Triangle and paired preference tests indicated that, although the aroma, appearance, and taste of the bread with vine tea extract significantly differ from those of the control bread, vine tea extract did not significantly affect the consumer acceptability. In conclusion, the addition of vine tea extract could be used to develop a new and healthy bread product with low acrylamide content.

Abstract
An efficient strategy for the selection of active components based on counter-current fractionation and bioassay-guided separation was established in the present work. Blaps rynchopetera Fairmaire was an edible medicinal insect. Its extract showed the potential RAW264.7 macrophage cell inhibitory activity. After extraction with different solvents, the active components were enriched in ethyl acetate. In order to further track the active compounds, the ethyl acetate extraction was divided into 14 fractions by means of HSCCC. The results showed that the activities of F6 and F7 were significant higher than the others. Two compounds, hydroxytyrosol and 4-ethylbenzene-1,3-diol, were separated from the mixture of F6 and F7 by column chromatography and their chemical structures were confirmed by MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The IC50 of hydroxytyrosol and 4-ethylbenzene-1,3-diol against RAW264.7 macrophage cell were 38.24 ± 0.26 μg/mL and 103.26 ± 0.29 μg/mL, respectively, indicating that hydroxytyrosol was the major active ingredient responsible for the RAW264.7 inhibitory activity of Blaps rynchopetera Fairmaire.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dihydromyricetin (DMY) is an important plant flavonoid, which has received great attention due to its health-benefiting activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic and neuroprotective activities. DMY capsules have been sold in US as a nutraceutical supplement to prevent alcoholic hangovers. The major disadvantage associated with DMY is its chemical instability and poor bioavailability caused by the combined effects of its low solubility and poor membrane permeability. This limits its practical use in the food and pharmaceutical fields. SCOPE AND APPROACH The present paper gives an overview of the current methods for the identification and quantification of DMY. Furthermore, recent findings regarding the main biological properties and chemical stability of DMY, the metabolism of DMY as well as different approaches to increase DMY bioavailability in both aqueous and lipid phases are discussed. KEY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Current trends on identification and quantification of DMY have been focused on spectral and chromatographic techniques. Many factors such as heat, pH, metal ions, could affect the chemical stability of DMY. Despite the diverse biological effects of DMY, DMY faces with the problem of poor bioavailability. Utilization of different delivery systems including solid dispersion, nanocapsule, microemuslion, cyclodextrin inclusion complexes, co-crystallization, phospholipid complexes, and chemical or enzymatic acylation has the potential to improve both the solubility and bioavailability. DMY digested in laboratory animals undergoes reduction, dehydroxylation, methylation, glucuronidation, and sulfation. Novel DMY delivery systems and basic pharmacokinetic studies of encapsulated DMY on higher animals and humans might be required in the future.

Abstract
Abstract
Morus alba L. is a medicinal plant that contains a high amount of caffeoylquinic acids such as 3-caffeoylquinic acid (3-CQA), 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA) and 4-caffeoylquinic acid (4-CQA). This study aimed to establish a fast and efficient method for separating caffeoylquinic acids from mulberry leaves by using high-speed countercurrent chromatography coupled with macroporous resin. D101 resin showed better adsorption and desorption capacity for three caffeoylquinic acids among six macroporous resin adsorbents. The contents of 3-CQA, 5-CQA and 4-CQA reached for 4.77%, 18.95% and 9.84% through one cycle of D101 resin, which were 3.13-fold, 4.57-fold and 4.78-fold more than those in crude extracts, respectively. With a two-phase solvent system of ethyl acetate-water (1:1, V/V), >93% purity of target compounds were obtained in one cycle during 150 min with the recovery yields of 80.59%, 99.56% and 94.21% for 3-CQA, 5-CQA and 4-CQA, respectively. The structural identification of target compounds was carried out by ESI-MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra. The present result represented an easy and efficient separation strategy for the utilization of mulberry resource.

Abstract
Diabetes complications, including peripheral neuropathy, cataracts, impaired wound healing, vascular damage, arterial wall stiffening and retinopathy diseases, are among the most predominant health problems facing the world's population today. The 22 Peruvian plant extracts were screened for their potential inhibitory activity against rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) and DPPH radical scavenging. Among them, we have found that Tanacetum parthenium L. (TP) has the RLAR, AGEs and DPPH radical scavenging activities. We used for screening of active components in TP against RLAR and DPPH for the first time by ultrafiltration (UF) and DPPH. Compounds in TP were isolated by Sephadex column chromatography and their structures were established by MS and NMR spectroscopic analyses. Among the isolated compounds, ferulic acid, apigenin, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, luteolin, chrysosplenol, and kaempferol showed potent inhibition with IC50 values of 1.11-3.20 and 6.44-16.23 μM for RLAR and DPPH radical scavenging. Furthermore, these compounds suppressed sorbitol accumulation in rat lenses and ferulic acid, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, and luteolin have AGEs inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 3.43-6.73 μM. In summary, our study provides interesting plants for further study with respect to the treatment and prevention of diabetic complication of Peruvian plant and can provide the scientific base of the traditional uses.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is the key enzyme in the treatment of vitiligo. Development of rapid, simple, and visual methods for screening bioactive compounds with tyrosinase activity from natural compounds is interesting for new drug discovery. Herein, a novel visual ratiometric fluorescent assay for screening tyrosinase activators and/or inhibitors based on silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) was explored. Inspired by the changes in both of the solution color and the fluorescence emission due to the sensing between Si NPs and dopamine (DA), we employed tyramine as the model substrate, which can transfer into DA by tyrosinase. It was found that the tyrosinase-incubated tyramine solution exhibited pale yellow under nature light or yellow fluorescence under UV light in the presence of Si NPs, where the color/fluorescence intensity were directly related to the concentration of tyrosinase. The established method showed good detection selectivity, and the LOD for tyrosinase was 0.14 U mL-1. Eventually, this assay was successfully applied to screen tyrosinase activators or inhibitors from a natural product-like library, and a tyrosinase activator with EC50 of 2.62 μM, more potent than the commonly used tyrosinase activator 8-MOP, was discovered.

Abstract
Eleven compounds were successfully separated from Asteris souliei by using a two-step high-performance counter-current chromatography method. The first step involved a reversed phase isocratic counter-current chromatography separation using hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water (1:0.8:1:1 v/v/v/v), which produced three fractions, the first two of which were mixtures. The second step used step-gradient reversed-phase counter-current chromatography with hexane/butanol/ethyl acetate/methanol/water (1:0.5:3.5:1:4 v/v/v/v/v) initially followed by hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water (1:2:1:2 v/v/v/v) to separate Fraction 1 into seven compounds; and hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water (1:1:1:1.2 v/v/v/v) to separate Fraction 2 into three further compounds. The chemical structures of the separated compounds were identified by ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopy (1 H and 13 C). Baicalin (5), eriodictyol (7), apigenin-7-glycoside (8), quercetin (9), luteolin (10), and apigenin (11) showed obvious inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in RAW264.7 cells at a concentration of 10 μg/mL.
