Undescribed steroidal alkaloids from the bulbs of Fritillaria ussuriensis Maxim and their anti-inflammatory activities. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 225:114172. [PMID: 38834130 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
In total, 16 undescribed steroidal alkaloids (1-16), along with nine known ones (17-25), were isolated from the bulbs of Fritillaria ussuriensis Maxim. Among the undescribed compounds mentioned, compounds 1-6, 8 bearing an 16β-hydroxy substituent, as well as compounds 13 and 14 exhibited an unusual seven-membered skeleton. Their structures were established based on extensive spectroscopic analyses, including HRESIMS and NMR (1D and 2D), and comparison with the data reported in the literature. Furthermore, all the compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effect on the NO production of LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Compounds 1, 4, 11, 15, 22 and 24 could significantly inhibit NO production with IC50 values below 10 μM.

Integration of untargeted and pseudotargeted metabolomics reveals specific markers for authentication and adulteration detection of Fritillariae Bulbus using tandem mass spectrometry and chemometrics. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 242:116013. [PMID: 38341927 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.116013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Authentication and adulteration detection of closely related herbal medicines is a thorny issue in the quality control and market standardization of traditional Chinese medicine. Taking Fritillariae Bulbus (FB) as a case study, we herein proposed a three-step strategy that integrates mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and multivariate statistical analysis to identify specific markers, thereby accurately identifying FBs and determining the adulteration level. First, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics method was employed to profile steroid alkaloids in five sorts of FB and screen potential differential markers. Then, the reliability of the screened markers was further verified by the distribution in different FB groups acquired from ultra-high performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry-based pseudotargeted metabolomics analysis. As a result, a total of 16 compounds were screened out to be the specific markers, which were successfully applied to distinguish five FBs by using discriminant analysis model. Besides, partial least squares regression models based on specific markers allowed accurate prediction of three sets of adulterated FBs. All the models afforded good linearity and good predictive ability with regression coefficient of prediction (R2p) > 0.9 and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) < 0.1. The reliable results of discriminant and quantitative analysis revealed that this proposed strategy could be potentially used to identify specific markers, which contributes to rapid chemical discrimination and adulteration detection of herbal medicines with close genetic relationship.

Abstract
Cyclopamine (1), the teratogenic steroidal alkaloid isolated from corn lily (Veratrum californicum), has recently gained renewed interest due to its anticancer potential, that has been translated into the FDA approval of three Hedgehog (Hh) pathway inhibiting antitumor drugs. A chemical analysis of mother liquors obtained from crystallization of cyclopamine, extracted from roots and rhizomes of V. californicum, resulted in the isolation of two unprecedented cyclopamine analogues, 18-hydroxycyclopamine (2) and 24R-hydroxycyclopamine (3), the first compounds of this class to show modifications on rings D-F. The stereostructures of these new natural compounds have been established based on a detailed MS and 1D/2D NMR investigation. The isolated compounds were evaluated with the dual-luciferase bioassay for their inhibition of the hedgehog pathway in comparison to cyclopamine, providing new insights into the structure-activity relationships for this class of compounds.

UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS/MS-Based Untargeted Metabolomics and Molecular Networking Reveal the Differential Chemical Constituents of the Bulbs and Flowers of Fritillaria thunbergii. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27206944. [PMID: 36296537 PMCID: PMC9609367 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27206944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Both the bulbs and flowers of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. (BFT and FFT) are widely applied as expectorants and antitussives in traditional Chinese medicine, but few studies have been conducted to compare the chemical compositions of these plant parts. In this study, 50% methanol extracts of BFT and FFT were analyzed via UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS/MS, and the feasibility of using non-targeted UHPLC-HRMS metabolomics and molecular networking to address the authentication of bulb and flower samples was evaluated. Principal component analysis (PCA), Orthogonal Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA), and heat map analysis showed there were dissimilar metabolites in BFT and FFT. As a result, 252 and 107 peaks in positive ion mode and negative mode, respectively, were considered to represent significant difference variables between BFT and FFT. Then, MS/MS-based molecular networking of BFT and FFT was constructed to perform an in-depth characterization of the peaks using different variables. A total of 31 alkaloids with significant differences were annotated in this paper, including seven cis-D/E-vevanine without C20-OH and one trans-D/E-cevanine with C20-OH, thirteen trans-D/E-cevanine without C20-OH, five cevanine N-oxide, and five veratramine. Among the 31 alkaloids, eight alkaloids had higher FFT than BFT contents, while all the flavonoids identified in our work had greater FFT than BFT contents. The influence of different ingredients on the pharmacological activities of BFT and FFT should be investigated in future studies.

Identification of Veratrum Species in Pimacao Based on ITS2 Sequences and Steroidal Alkaloids by a Pseudo-Targeted Metabolomics Method. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:831562.

Abstract
Pimacao is a traditional Chinese folk medicine and is the main component of the famous Chinese herbal remedy "Yunnan Baiyao" for its significant analgesic activity in the treatment of wounds. Due to increases in consumption, its wild population is now difficult to find, and adulterant from the same genus has occurred. However, this is challenging to distinguish the species of Veratrum in Pimacao using dried roots and rhizomes or medicinal powder. ITS2 sequences and steroidal alkaloids by the non-targeted and pseudo-targeted metabolomics methods were taken advantage of establishing an effective identification method. Based on the ITS2 sequence, metabolite profiling of steroidal alkaloids and morphological characteristics, the classification of two distinct subspecies in V. mengzeanum has been reinforced. In addition, the new subspecies V. mengzeanum subsp. phuwae was collected in China for the first time. The ITS2 sequence could be used in the identification of V. taliense, V. mengtzeanum, V. stenophyllum, and V. nigrum, but is insufficient for intraspecific identification. Simultaneously, 147 variables were labeled by non-targeted analysis accomplished utilizing an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QE-Orbitrap-MS) system consisting of an Orbitrap QE HF-X. Followed by a pseudo-targeted analysis method developed for the Qtrap 6500-plus mass spectrometry system coupled with an ESI source, 29 labeled steroidal alkaloids detected by the MRM mode could distinguish between four species. Notably, 25 labeled steroidal alkaloids could distinguish between three closely related species. These have the potential to be used as markers for identification. Furthermore, there were several variables with statistical differences between two subspecies of V. mengtzeanum and populations of V. taliense, V. mengtzeanum, and V. stenophyllum.

Abstract
Veratrum spp. grow throughout the world and are especially prevalent in high mountain meadows of North America. All parts of Veratrum plants have been used for the treatment of ailments including injuries, hypertension, and rheumatic pain since as far back as the 1600s. Of the 17-45 Veratrum spp., Veratrum californicum alkaloids have been proven to possess favorable medicinal properties associated with inhibition of hedgehog (Hh) pathway signaling. Aberrant Hh signaling leads to proliferation of over 20 cancers, including basal cell carcinoma, prostate and colon among others. Six of the most well-studied V. californicum alkaloids are cyclopamine (1), veratramine (2), isorubijervine (3), muldamine (4), cycloposine (5), and veratrosine (6). Recent inspection of the ethanolic extract from V. californicum root and rhizome via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry has detected up to five additional alkaloids that are proposed to be verazine (7), etioline (8), tetrahydrojervine (9), dihydrojervine (10), 22-keto-26-aminocholesterol (11). For each alkaloid identified or proposed in V. californicum, this review surveys literature precedents for extraction methods, isolation, identification, characterization and bioactivity to guide natural product drug discovery associated with this medicinal plant.

Abstract
Fritillaria naturally grows in the temperate region of Northern Hemisphere and mainly distributes in Central Asia, Mediterranean region, and North America. The dried bulbs from a dozen species of this genus have been usually used as herbal medicine, named Beimu in China. Beimu had rich sources of phytochemicals and have extensively applied to respiratory diseases including coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Fritillaria species have alkaloids that act as the main active components that contribute multiple biological activities, including anti-tussive, expectorant, and anti-asthmatic effects, especially against certain respiratory diseases. Other compounds (terpenoids, steroidal saponins, and phenylpropanoids) have also been identified in species of Fritillaria. In this review, readers will discover a brief summary of traditional uses and a comprehensive description of the chemical profiles, biological properties, and analytical techniques used for quality control. In general, the detailed summary reveals 293 specialized metabolites that have been isolated and analyzed in Fritillaria species. This review may provide a scientific basis for the chemical ecology and metabolomics in which compound identification of certain species remains a limiting step.

Abstract
The inherent complexity of traditional Chinese medicines necessitates the application of multi-dimensional information to accomplish comprehensive profiling and confirmative identification of their chemical components. In this study, we display an enhanced strategy by integrating offline superimposed two-dimensional separation (S-2D-LC) with mass defect filter and diagnostic ion filter to comprehensively characterize the alkaloid composition of Fritillariae Pallidiflorae Bulbus (FPB). The superimposed HILIC × RP and UPCC × RP offline two-dimensional liquid chromatography system was constructed with superior orthogonality (R2=0.004 and R2=0.001) for chromatographic separation. In total, 70 fractions were collected after the first-dimensional chromatographic separation (HILIC and UPCC) and then analyzed by the second-dimensional reversed phase (RP) liquid chromatography coupled with Q-TOF/MS/MS in FAST DDA acquisition mode. A four-step interpretation strategy combining mass defect filter with diagnostic ion filter was developed to rapidly characterize alkaloids in Fritillaria species. Ultimately, a sum of 529 Fritillaria alkaloids were characterized from two botanical origins of FPB. The integrated strategy is practical to efficiently expose and comprehensively characterize more trace and isomeric components in complex herbal medicines.

Diagnostic fragmentation-assisted mass spectral networking coupled with in silico dereplication for deep annotation of steroidal alkaloids in medicinal Fritillariae Bulbus. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2020; 55:e4528. [PMID: 32559823 DOI: 10.1002/jms.4528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2020] [Revised: 04/03/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Fully understanding the chemicals in an herbal medicine remains a challenging task. Molecular networking (MN) allows to organize tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data in complex samples by mass spectral similarity, which yet suffers from low coverage and accuracy of compound annotation due to the size limitation of available databases and differentiation obstacle of similar chemical scaffolds. In this work, an enhanced MN-based strategy named diagnostic fragmentation-assisted molecular networking coupled with in silico dereplication (DFMN-ISD) was introduced to overcome these obstacles: the rule-based fragmentation patterns provide insights into similar chemical scaffolds, the generated in silico candidates based on metabolic reactions expand the available natural product databases, and the in silico annotation method facilitates the further dereplication of candidates by computing their fragmentation trees. As a case, this approach was applied to globally profile the steroidal alkaloids in Fritillariae bulbus, a commonly used antitussive and expectorant herbal medicine. Consequently, a total of 325 steroidal alkaloids were discovered, including 106 cis-D/E-cevanines, 142 trans-D/E-cevanines, 29 jervines, 23 veratramines, and 25 verazines. And 10 of them were confirmed by available reference standards. Approximately 70% of the putative steroidal alkaloids have never been reported in previous publications, demonstrating the benefit of DFMN-ISD approach for the comprehensive characterization of chemicals in a complex plant organism.

Abstract
The quantification of three alkaloids is important because quantitative study is a means of assessing the reliability of the experimental method, and three alkaloids of peimine, peiminine, and peimisine are main active ingredients in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015. An effective method based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion microextraction was developed for the extraction of alkaloid compounds in Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus. Target analytes were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The optimized experimental condition was that 50 mg Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus was blended homogeneously with 10 mg citric acid for 5 min. Two hundred microliters of water acidized by 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid (pH = 4.5) was selected to elute tested alkaloids. The results demonstrated that the investigated method had low limits of detection (1.32-1.59 ng/mL), good recoveries (86.63-98.12%), and reproducibility (relative standard deviations of peak areas < 0.87%). The proposed matrix solid-phase dispersion microextraction coupled with capillary electrophoresis combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was successfully applied for the extraction of alkaloids in plants.

[PMID: 31677768 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2019.460630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2019] [Revised: 10/15/2019] [Accepted: 10/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Authentication of original species is embedded in the quality control system of herbal medicines. In this work, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics coupled with chemometric analysis was utilized for the precise authentication of the Fritillaria species for both raw materials and commercial products. First, a stepwise difference-enlarging chemometric analysis strategy was proposed to analyze eight medicinal Fritillaria species. Subsequently, 21 species-specific markers were discovered and the specificity was investigated under different sample preparation methods. Finally, the obtained species-specific markers were successfully utilized to identify the Fritillaria species in commercially relevant products. This work is the first to report robust and specific markers for authentication of Fritillaria products, showing promise for tracking the supply chain of herbal suppliers.

Abstract
The γ-amino butyric acid (GABA)ergic system shapes the activation and function of immune cells. The present study was conducted to explore the regulation of GABA transporter (GAT)-2 on the differentiation of Th17 cells. Here we found that Th17 cells show higher abundance of GAT-2, and have distinct cellular metabolic signatures, such as the GABA shunt pathway, as compared to naïve T cells. GAT-2 deficiency had little effect on the metabolic signature in naïve T cells, but impaired the GABA uptake and GABA shunt pathway in Th17 cells. GAT-2 deficiency had little effect on T cell development and peripheral T cell homeostasis; however, its deficiency promoted Th17 cell differentiation in vitro. Mechanistically, GAT-2 deficiency promoted differentiation of Th17 cells through activation of GABA-mTOR signaling. In a mouse model of intestinal infection and inflammation, GAT-2 deficiency promoted Th17 responses. Collectively, GAT-2 deficiency promotes Th17 cell responses through activation of GABA-mTOR signaling.

A Comprehensive and Rapid Quality Evaluation Method of Traditional Chinese Medicine Decoction by Integrating UPLC-QTOF-MS and UFLC-QQQ-MS and its Application. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24020374.

Abstract
Decoction is one of the oldest forms of traditional Chinese medicine and it is widely used in clinical practice. However, the quality evaluation and control of traditional decoction is a challenge due to the characteristics of complicated constituents, water as solvent, and temporary preparation. ShenFu Prescription Decoction (SFPD) is a classical prescription for preventing and treating many types of cardiovascular disease. In this article, a comprehensive and rapid method for quality evaluation and control of SFPD was developed, via qualitative and quantitative analysis of the major components by integrating ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and ultra-fast-performance liquid chromatography equipped with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Consequently, a total of 39 constituents were tentatively identified in qualitative analysis, of which 21 compounds were unambiguously confirmed by comparing with reference substances. We determined 13 important constituents within 7 min by multiple reaction monitoring. The validated method was applied for determining five different proportion SFPDs. It was found that different proportions generated great influence on the dissolution of constituents. This may be one of the mechanisms for which different proportions play different synergistic effects. Therefore, the developed method is a fast and useful approach for quality evaluation of SFPD.

A comprehensive LC-MS/MS method validation for the quantitative investigation of 37 fingerprint phytochemicals in Achillea species: A detailed examination of A. coarctata and A. monocephala. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2018; 154:413-424. [PMID: 29602084 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2018.02.059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2018] [Revised: 02/25/2018] [Accepted: 02/27/2018] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The current study aims to optimize and validate a comprehensive LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of 37 phytochemicals (15 phenolic acids, 17 flavonoids, 3 non-phenolic organic acids, 1 phenolic aldehyde and 1 benzopyrene) in Achillea species. Though Achillea species were chosen as real life samples, the current method is applicable to a wide range of plant species. The developed method was fully validated in terms of linearity, accuracy (recovery), inter-day and intra-day precision (repeatability), limits of detection and quantification (LOD/LOQ) and relative standard uncertainty (U% at 95% confidence level (k = 2)). Reversed-phase ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography was optimized to achive optimum separation for 37 phytochemical compounds and to overcome the suppression effects. MS detection was performed using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer and negative or positive ionization modes were optimized for each analyte. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used to quantify the analytes, related molecular ions and transition ions were optimized. Phytochemical screening of ethanol and methanol-chloroform extracts of root and aerial parts of A. coarctata and A. monocephala were performed by using the developed and validated LC-MS/MS method. Root and aerial parts of both species have considerable amounts of certain phenolic-nonphenolic acids (quinic, malic, fumaric, chlorogenic and vanillic acids) and flavonoids (rutin, hesperidin, isoquercitrin, apigetrin, luteolin, apigenin). Additionally, total phenolic and flavonoid amounts, antioxidant (DPPH free radical scavenging assay, ABTS radical cation decolorization assay, β-carotene lipid peroxidation test system and CUPRAC cupper reduction capacity methods), anticholinesterase, tyrosinase, urease inhibition and cytotoxic activities (on HeLa (Human Cervical Carcinoma Cell Line) of A. coarctata and A. monocephala were also investigated. It has been determined that the studied Achillea species, that are rich in total phenolic-flavonoid and chlorogenic acid contents, have high antioxidant and cytotoxic potential at the same time. According to the results of LC-MS/MS, antioxidant and cytotoxic activity studies, after detailed chemical investigation and toxicity studies on these species, A. coarctata and A. monocephala may be promoted as promising sources of natural agents and used for the development of nutraceuticals or functional food ingredients in future.
