Comprehensive polyoxypregnane glycosides report in Caralluma quadrangula using UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF and their antioxidant effects in human plasma. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 150:112954. [PMID: 35447547 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.112954] [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: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Caralluma quadrangula (Forssk.) N.E.Br. (Syns: = Stapelia quadrangula Forssk. = Monolluma quadrangula Forssk.) is an indigenous member of the genus Caralluma and it is a rather common species on rocky hillsides in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia. Several members of this genus have found medicinal uses in the treatment of rheumatism, diabetes, leprosy and as antiseptics and disinfectants. All parts are edible but rather more bitter and can cause diarrhea. AIM OF THE STUDY The present report was tentatively elucidated the structure of acylated and non-acylated polyoxypregnane glycosides from Caralluma quadrangula. MATERIALS AND METHODS The analyses were performed using an electrospray-ionization quadrupole time-of-flight (ESI-Q-TOF) mass spectrometer in both positive and negative ionization modes to explore fragmentation pathways. The antioxidant and prooxidant properties of the different mobility portions of human plasma were evaluated in vitro using thiobarbituric acid reactive substance assay (TBARS). RESULTS The analyses showed sixty-five characteristic ion peaks which could be more efficient to assignment the aglycones and fragmentation sequences of sugar moieties. The used ionization modes provided consistent and/or complementary information for most of the pregnane glycosides, their fragmentation sequences, and their aglycones. A DFT Study was performed to elucidate the neutral loss of H2O molecules sequences from aglycones and the esterification linkage. CONCLUSIONS This report could be useful to reduce material consuming and time in phytochemistry analysis of the different medicinal plants. The two portions significantly depleted TBARS were subjected to autoperoxidation assay in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of eco-friendly solid-supported metal nanoparticles with remarkable stability and catalytic performance have gained much attention for both industrial and environmental applications. This study provides a novel, low-cost, simple, and eco-friendly approach for decorating cross-linked chitosan with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), greenly prepared with Solenostemma argel (S. argel) leaf extract under mild conditions. Glutaraldehyde-modified chitosan beads were used to coordinate with Au(III) ions and act as stabilizing agents, and S. argel leaf extract was used as a cost-effective phyto-reducing agent to reduce gold ions to elemental Au nanoparticles. The successful cross-linking of chitosan with glutaraldehyde, the coordination of Au(III) ions into the chitosan matrix, and the phytochemical reduction of Au(III) to Au nanoparticles were investigated via FT-IR spectroscopy. The obtained Au nanoparticles have a uniform spherical shape and size <10 nm, as confirmed by both X-ray diffraction (XRD) (~8.8 nm) and TEM (6.0 ± 3 nm). The uniformity of the AuNPs' size was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transition Electron Microscopy (TEM). The powder X-ray diffraction technique showed crystalline AuNPs with a face-centered cubic structure. The elemental analysis and the Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis both confirmed the successful integration of Au nanoparticles with the chitosan network. The catalytic activity of this highly stable nanocomposite was systematically investigated via the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. Results showed a remarkable conversion (97%) and excellent selectivity (99%) in the formation of benzaldehyde over other side products.

[PMID: 30999011 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2019.111893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2018] [Revised: 04/09/2019] [Accepted: 04/14/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Solenostemma argel (Argel) is a desert plant commonly used in Egyptian and Sudanese traditional medicine to suppress appetite, for treatment of diabetes, and as an antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory agent. Previously the anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic and lipase inhibitory activities of Argel were reported in animal studies and in-vitro assays. However, its specific mechanism of action as an anti-obesity agent has not been studied before. AIM OF THE STUDY Assessment of the possible anti-obesity effect of Solenostemma argel on diet-induced obesity and elucidation of its mechanism of action, as well as, standardization of the active plant extract. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ethanolic extract (EtOH-E) and its fractions (CH2Cl2-F: methylene chloride and BuOH-F: n-butanol) were prepared from the aerial parts of S. argel and studied at two dose levels; 200 and 400 mg kg-1 in a model of high fat diet (HFD) fed rats. The animals (72 Male Wister rats) were assigned into 9 groups: group (i) fed with normal diet and groups (ii-iv) fed with high fat diet (HFD) for 16 weeks and treated with orlistat, EtOH-E, CH2Cl2-F and BuOH-F in the beginning of the 8th week. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were analysed for lipid and liver biomarkers, glucose and insulin levels, as well as, adipokines and inflammatory markers. Liver and adipose tissues were examined histopathologically and their homogenates were used to determine levels of oxidative stress markers and lipogenesis-related genes. Body weight was monitored weekly during the experiment. RESULTS Our data showed that consumption of S. argel significantly controlled weight gain, attenuated liver steatosis, improved the lipid profile, modulated adipokines activities, increased β-oxidation gene expression, as well as, decreased the expression of lipogenesis-related genes and ameliorated inflammatory and lipid peroxidation derangement. The ethanolic extract was also standardized using LC-MS analysis for its content of stemmoside C. CONCLUSIONS The current study revealed that S. argel is a promising Egyptian natural drug, rich in pregnane glycosides, and could be considered a new therapeutic candidate targeting obesity.

Abstract
Of the various plant extracts from 10 plant species tested against larvae of Culex pipiens in the laboratory, only extracts from Solenostemma argel exhibited larvicidal activity. A chloroform leaf extract of S. argel exhibited relatively high activity with a lethal concentration causing 50% mortality (LC50) of 15.89 ppm, while chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts of S. argel fruits were 19.70 and 19.52 ppm, respectively. The chloroform fruit extract at 10 ppm reduced the hatchability of Cx. pipiens eggs by 20%, whereas the chloroform leaf extract was found to be less effective (5% reduction). At 10 ppm, adult emergence was reduced by 84% and 75% for chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts of fruits, respectively. Metamorphosis of larvae exposed to chloroform fruit extract (10 ppm) was extended to 15 days, as compared to 10 days for control larvae. It took 12 days at 1 ppm, and 15 days at 6 and 10 ppm for chloroform fruit extract-treated embryos to develop into adult mosquito while it took 10 days in the control treatment. However, 100% toxicity was observed in the embryos of zebrafish, Danio rerio, treated with the ethyl acetate fruit extracts (LC50 of 20 ppm and LC100 of 40 ppm) and chloroform leaf extract (LC50 of 30 ppm and LC100 of 60 ppm). These findings emphasize the need to further isolate the bioactive molecules in S. argel crude extracts that may still be mosquitocidal but produce no, or minimal, adverse effects on nontarget organisms such as zebrafish.

Abstract
The biological activity of crude petroleum ether extracts of Oshar (Calotropis procera); Harmal (Rhazya stricta) and Hargal (Solenostemma argel) were assessed using the 4th larval instar of cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). All extracts exhibited a significant antifeedant activity at the LC50 levels. Harmal extract deterred feeding potential of insect larvae by 52.96% but decreased to 26.76 and 18.00% for Hargal and Oshar, respectively. In nutritional assays, all plant extracts affected Growth Rate (GR mg) where Harmal caused the highest rate of efficiency and followed by Oshar against 4th larval instar fed for two days on castor leaves treated with botanical extracts (LC50) and three days on un-treated leaves after that. Hargal didn't show a significant effect on growth rate compared with un-treated larvae. The differences between Consumption Index (CI mg) of larvae treated with Hramal and Hargal after five days of feeding in comparison with un-treated larvae were significant. Efficiency of Conversion of Ingested food (ECI%) to biomass reached 31.81 +/- 1.49, 26.06 +/- 1.89 and 48.67 +/- 1.54 after five days of treatment by Oshar, Harmal and Hargal, respectively. These values were 49.61 +/- 1.72, 39.12 +/- 0.54 and 53.20 +/- 0.96 for digested food utilization (ECD%) in larvae treated with the aforementioned extracts after five days, respectively. There was a remarkable inhibitory activity of plant extracts on the digestive carbohydrate enzymes, amylase and invertase in vitro. It was noticed that Harmal had a remarkable inhibitory action causing an average of 42.58% inhibition rate on amylase and 16.27% on invertase followed by Hargel and Oshar with inhibition rates of 33.27 and 19.58% against amylase, while these values averaged 11.19 and 5.97% of inhibition in case of invertase, respectively.

Abstract
Five new 14,15-secopregnane derivatives, named argelosides K-O (1-5), have been isolated from Solenostemma argel leaves. Their structures were established by a detailed spectroscopic analysis. In particular, argeloside N (1) showed in the sugar portion an unusual 3-O-methyl-2,6-dideoxyhexopyranose unit characterized by the occurrence of a Delta3 double bond, and argeloside O (5) displayed an unusual moiety linked to position 3 probably derived by the oxidation of a 3-O-methyl-2,6-dideoxyhexopyranose unit. The propensity of compounds 2, 3, and 5 and argeloside F (6) to inhibit TNF-alpha release by LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 mouse cells was evaluated.

Abstract
The topical anti-inflammatory activity of Solenostemma argel Hayne leaves was evaluated using the Croton oil ear test in mice. A bioassay-guided fractionation procedure led to a highly active chloroform extract: at 300 microg/cm(2), it induced 73% oedema reduction, while the reference drug indomethacin (100 microg/cm(2)) induced 56% reduction. The extract contained a new pregnene glycoside (1, solenoside A) and the known 14 beta,15 alpha-dihydroxy-Delta(4)pregnene-3,20 dione (2), kaempferol-3-O-glucoside (3) and kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (4). Their structures were determined by ID and 2D NMR experiments as well as HRMS. Compounds 2 and 4 showed anti-inflammatory activity comparable to that of indomethacin.
