Simultaneous extraction of crocin and geniposide from gardenia fruits (Gardenia jasminoides Ellis) by probe-type ultrasound-assisted natural deep eutectic solvents and their inhibition effects on low density lipoprotein oxidation. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 101:106658. [PMID: 37913593 PMCID: PMC10638020 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106658] [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: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
The simultaneous extraction of crocin and geniposide from gardenia fruits (Gardenia jasminoides Ellis) was performed by integrating natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). Among the eight kinds of NADES screened, choline chloride-1,2-propylene glycol was the most suitable extractant. The probe-type ultrasound-assisted NADES extraction system (pr-UAE-NADES) demonstrated higher extraction efficiency compared with plate-type ultrasound-assisted NADES extraction system (pl-UAE-NADES). Orthogonal experimental design and a modified multi-index synthetic weighted scoring method were adopted to optimize pr-UAE-NADES extraction process. The optimal extraction conditions that had a maximum synthetic weighted score of 29.46 were determined to be 25 °C for extraction temperature, 600 W for ultrasonic power, 20 min for extraction time, and 25% (w/w) for water content in NADES, leading to the maximum yields (7.39 ± 0.20 mg/g and 57.99 ± 0.91 mg/g, respectively) of crocin and geniposide. Thirty-three compounds including iridoids, carotenoids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and triterpenes in the NADES extract were identified by LC-Q-TOF-MS2 coupled with a feature-based molecular networking workflow. The kinetics evaluation of the conjugated dienes generation on Cu2+-induced low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation via the four-parameter logistic regression model showed that crocin increased the lag time of LDL oxidation in a concentration-dependent manner (15 μg/mL, 30 μg/mL, 45 μg/mL) by 12.66%, 35.44%, and 73.42%, respectively. The quantitative determination for fluorescence properties alteration of the apolipoprotein B-100 exhibited that crocin effectively inhibited the fluorescence quenching of tryptophan residues and the modification of lysine residues caused by reactive aldehydes and malondialdehydes. The pr-UAE-NADES showed significant efficiency toward the simultaneous extraction of crocin and geniposide from gardenia fruits. And this study demonstrates the potential utility of gardenia fruits in developing anti-atherogenic functional food.

Optimization of green extraction process with natural deep eutectic solvent and comparative in vivo pharmacokinetics of bioactive compounds from Astragalus-Safflower pair. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 114:154814. [PMID: 37062134 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs) are promising not only in componential extraction, but also in drug delivery system due to their green and safe features. In this work, NaDESs were applied to extract bioactive components from Astragalus-Safflower pair, a classic traditional Chinese medicine combination. Furthermore, ready-to-use crude extracts were administrated to SD rats. METHODS Total 9 NaDESs composed of food grade ingredients were screened for the extraction of representative 9 components (hydroxysafflor yellow A, anhydrosafflor yellow B, eleutheroside B, calycosin-7-O-glucoside, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, ononin, calycosin, astraganoside, and carthamin) from Astragalus-Safflower pair. Afterwards, genetic artificial neural network (GNN) was adopted for optimizing the ultrasound-assisted extraction process. After SD rats were orally administrated with the ready-to-use crude extracts extracted under the optimized conditions, the in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of 5 components were evaluated comprehensively from weight, gender, solvent and modeling surgery, under a well-established UPLC-MS/MS method. RESULTS Betaine-Lactic acid (Bet-Lac) was eventually determined as the optimal extraction solvent for subsequent experiments. The optimal ultrasound assisted extraction process was as follows: 90 min of extraction time, 65 °C of temperature, 80% of Bet-Lac content and 50 mg/ml of solid-liquid ratio. Bet-Lac enhanced to varying degrees the bioavailability of analytes in normal and cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injured (CI/RI) rats in contrast with corresponding rats administrated with water extract groups (p < 0.05). Besides, the bioavailability of active components in CI/RI rat plasma was significantly lower than that in normal rats (p < 0.05), indicating pathological damage of CI/R had a significant impact on pharmacokinetic profile of compounds in rats. However, gender and body weight had no significant effects on the pharmacokinetic profile of bioactive components. CONCLUSIONS NaDESs exhibited higher extraction efficiency than conventional solvents. And GNN is reliable to optimize the ultrasound assisted extraction process. This study supported the potential of non-toxic NaDESs as solvents for extraction process and drug delivery systems at the same time.

Acidic natural deep eutectic solvents as dual solvents and catalysts for the solubilization and deglycosylation of soybean isoflavone extracts: Genistin as a model compound. Food Chem 2023; 406:134999. [PMID: 36459802 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.134999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
This study investigated the possibility of using green solvent natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) as dual solvent-catalysts for the solubilization and deglycosylation of soybean isoflavones. The deglycosylation behavior of genistin as a model compound in NADESs was compared. Acidic NADESs showed moderate solubility for genistin and could hydrolyze it to form genistein. The onset temperature of deglycosylation in the choline chloride/malic acid (Ch-Ma) was 60 °C. The solubilities of genistin in the Ch-Ma system were modeled. The dissolution process was endothermic and mainly enthalpy-driven. The deglycosylation followed first-order kinetics with a half-life (t1/2) of 40 min at 90 °C. The method was validated using soybean isoflavone extracts as a substrate and the ratio of glycoside to aglycone in the extracts could be adjusted by changing the conditions. The methods have great potential in the extraction and preparation of ready-to-use isoflavone extracts from soybean and other legumes.

Abstract
Guanxin Shutong capsule (GSC) is a traditional Chinese medicinal prescription used in the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD) and angina pectoris in clinic. However, the chemical profile of GSC is still uncovered, which hindered the progress of pharmacological study and clinical application. Herein, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) together with high resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) techniques were employed to analyze the quality consistency and to identify chemical components in GSC. As a result, a total of 111 compounds were tentatively annotated. Quantitative analysis based on HPLC-ultraviolet detection (UV) was performed for 6 main components and fingerprints of 10 different batches of GSC were established. The developed method was validated for linearity, precision, repeatability, stability, and recovery. The quality evaluation and similarity analysis of the 10 batches were also performed. Furthermore, in vitro antioxidant activity assays demonstrated that GSC exhibited potential DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging capacities. Especially, salvianolic acids showed the strongest free radical scavenging capacities, which might be the main component for quality control of GSC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish an analytical method for rapid identification of chemical compositions and quantitative determination of major compositions in Buyang Huanwu decoction (BYHWD) based on high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-Exactive MS) and high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV). METHODS The mass spectrometry information was collected in Full MS/dd-MS 2 negative ion mode with HPLC-Q-Exactive MS system; the chemical compositions of BYHWD were subsequently annotated with Compound Discoverer 3.0 software and a self-built in-house compound library. Eight major compositions (paeoniflorin, gallic acid, hydroxysafflor yellow A, ferulic acid, calycosin-7-glucoside, ononin, calycosin, formononetin) were picked out and their contents were quantitatively determined with HPLC-UV analysis. RESULTS A total of 178 compounds in BYHWD were tentatively identified. The results of HPLC-UV quantitative analysis showed that 8 compositions had a good linear relationship in their respective concentration range ( R 2≥0.9990), the relative standard deviations (RSD) of precision and stability were all less than 15%, and the recovery rate RSD was between 1.6% and 2.4%. CONCLUSIONS The method established in this study can realize the rapid identification and accurate quantification of the major compositions in BYHWD. Paeoniflorin, hydroxysafflor yellow A and gallic acid may be used as quality control markers.

Abstract
A green smashing tissue and ultrasonic (STU) extraction method, which combines smashing tissue and ultrasonic-assisted extraction, was developed for the first time. The extraction of tanshinones from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (SM) was taken as an example to discuss the practicability of this method. Taking the total yield of eight tanshinones as an evaluation index, response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) models were used to optimize the extraction parameters, and these two models were also compared by investigating the extract yield of tanshinones and the antioxidant activity of the obtained SM extract. The optimal STU conditions by ANN were as follows: an ethanol concentration of 73%, a liquid/solid ratio of 30 mL g-1, a smashing tissue time of 97 s and an ultrasonic time of 40 min. Under these optimal conditions, the yield of the eight components was 0.30% ± 0.12, which was greater than 0.28% ± 0.03 optimized by RSM. The IC50 values of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) of the obtained extract were 55.25 ± 3.72 μg mL-1 and 67.33 ± 2.62 μg mL-1, respectively, which were better than those of 75.49 ± 4.33 μg mL-1 and 112.10 ± 5.98 μg mL-1, respectively, optimized by RSM. Furthermore, the SM extract was found to exert neuroprotective effects by inhibiting parthanatos in middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R)-induced rats. The results supported the use of the SM extract, which was obtained by STU, as a potential product in the cosmetics, medicine, and food industries.
