[PMID: 38908999 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465105] [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: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
Pseudobulbus Cremastrae seu Pleiones (PCsP), a traditional Chinese medicine known as ‶Shan-Ci-Gu″, possesses properties for clearing heat, counteracting toxicity, dissipating phlegm, and resolving masses. As a TCM with multiple bases, the dried pseudobulbs of Pleione bulbocodioides (PB), Pleione yunnanensis (PY) and Cremastra appendiculata (CA) are considered to be the official sources of PCsP. Additionally, several unofficial substitutes are also available in the market. To enhance the quality control of PCsP, an integrated strategy based on Q-marker was proposed. Initially, a study of integrating plant metabolomics, target isolation, structure identification, and activity testing afforded five Q-markers, including three new compounds. Furthermore, a quality evaluation method using a single standard to determine multi-components (SSDMC) based on Q-marker was established, which could effectively distinguish PB from CA and the counterfeit herbs. Finally, the transitivity of Q-markers was explored through a representative Chinese compound prescription containing PCsP. The results indicated that the identified Q-markers together with the established analysis methods could be effectively applied for quality control of PCsP and its preparations.

Abstract
Tubers of Gymnadenia conopsea (L.) R. Br. (Orchidaceae), a traditional medicine and food homologous plant, has a broad application and development prospect in the food and drug industries. Benzylester glucosides, the main effective active components in this plant, are difficult to separate due to their similar structures and high polarity. In this study, linear gradient counter-current chromatography was used to separate benzylester glucosides and derivatives, combined with elution-extrusion mode. The main separation parameters were optimized, including the ratio of mobile phase and sample loading. Finally, seven compounds were successfully separated, including 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (1), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2), dactylorhin B (3), loroglossin (4), dactylorhin A (5), 4-(ethoxymethyl) phenol (6), and militarine (7). The structures were analyzed by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. According to our findings, the established method was an efficient approach to separate benzylester glucosides and derivatives from tubers of G. conopsea. The established strategy could be applied to purify other similar high-polarity compounds from complex natural products.

New Phenolic Glycosides from Coelogyne fuscescens Lindl. var. brunnea and Their Cytotoxicity against Human Breast Cancer Cells. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:7679-7691. [PMID: 38405545 PMCID: PMC10883021 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
The phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Coelogyne fuscescens Lindl. var. brunnea led to the discovery of three new phenolic glycosides, i.e., coelofusides A-C (1-3) and 12 known compounds (4-15). For the first time, we reported the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data of 4-O-(6'-O-glucosyl-4″-hydroxybenzoyl)-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (4) in this study. The identification of the structures of newly discovered compounds was done through the analysis of their spectroscopic data [NMR, mass spectrometry, ultraviolet, Fourier transform infrared, optical rotation, and circular dichroism (CD)]. In comparison to anticancer drugs (i.e., etoposide and carboplatin), we evaluated anticancer potential of the isolated compounds on two different breast cancer cell lines, namely, T47D and MDA-MB-231. Human fibroblast HaCaT cells were used as the control cells. After a 48 h incubation, flavidin (8), coelonin (10), 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (11), and oxoflavidin (12) showed significant cytotoxic effects against breast cancer cells. Among them, oxoflavidin (12) exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity on MDA-MB-231 with an IC50 value of 26.26 ± 4.33 μM. In the nuclear staining assay, oxoflavidin induced apoptosis after 48 h in both T47D and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, oxoflavidin upregulated the expression of apoptotic genes, such as p53, Bax, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, caspase-3, and caspase-9 genes while significantly decreasing antiapoptotic protein (Bcl-2) expression levels.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Gymnadenia conopsea, a perennial herbaceous flowering plant that belongs to the family of Orchidaceae, sporadic distributed in the altitudes of 200-4700 m across northern Europe and, temperate and subtropical Asia region. The dried tubers of G. conopsea have been used to treat cough, asthma, and their syndromes, and also as a tonic in China and surrounding countries for a long history. G. conopsea is often processed deeply processed before use to enhance its efficacy. In recent years, because of its remarkable pharmacological activity and health care function, G. conopsea has been used more and more widely. Due to its extensive application and bad growth environment, the wild distribution of G. conopsea is decreasing and it has been listed as an endangered plant. AIM OF THE REVIEW This review aims to summarize the propagation and breeding, traditional uses, chemical composition, pharmacology, quality control, and processing of G. conopsea. Moreover, it also provides suggestions for the future high-value utilization of G. conopsea. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search on Gymnadenia genus and G. conopsea was performed using scientific databases including SciFinder, ACS, Web of Science, Springer, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and CNKI. Information was also collected from classic books of Chinese herbal medicine, official websites, Ph.D. and M.Sc. Dissertations, and so on. Structures of chemical compounds were drawn by ChemDraw software. RESULTS As of submission date of this manuscript, total 170 natural compounds have been isolated and characterized from G. conopsea, and all of the compounds were isolated from the tubers. The isolated compounds including benzylester glucosides, dihydrostilbenes, phenanthrenes, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, polysaccharide, lignans, flavones, triterpenoids, steroids, and other compounds. Some of these compounds and active extracts exhibited a wide range of pharmacological activities, in which, the tonifying, anti-fatigue, anti-oxidant, anti-viral, sedative and hypnotic activities are consistent with the traditional uses for the treatment of diseases. In addition, a variety of new pharmacological activities, such as preventing and treating gastric ulcers, immunoregulatory, anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-anaphylaxis, anti-silicosis, anti-cancer and neuroprotective activities have also been reported. However, the bioactive compounds responsible for most of the above pharmacological effects have not been well summarised till now. In this manuscript, analysis, speculation and summary of compounds that responsible for pharmacological effects were conducted. CONCLUSIONS The chemical constituents and pharmacological activities studies of G. conopsea extract have been summarised in this context, the isolated compounds responsible for the pharmacological activities were also analyzed and deduced according to the publications, all above led to suggestions for the future high-value utilization of G. conopsea.

Abstract
Objective To study the protective activities of the dietary malate esters derivatives of Bletilla striata against SiO2 nanoparticles-induced A549 cell lines and its mechanism action. Methods The components were isolated and elucidated by spectroscopic methods such as 1D NMR and 2D NMR. And MTT assays was used to tested these components on the A549 cell survival rates and ROS or proteins levels were detected by Western blotting. Results A new glucosyloxybenzyl 2-isobutylmalate (a malate ester derivative), along with 31 known compounds were isolated and identified from n-BuOH extract of EtOH extract of B. striata. Among them, compounds 3, 4, 11, 12 and 13 possessed noteworthy proliferative effects for damaged cells, with ED50 of 14.0, 13.1, 3.7, 11.6 and 11.5 µmol/L, respectively, compared to positive control resveratrol (ED50, 14.7 µmol/L). Militarine (8) prominently inhibited the intracellular ROS level, and increased the expression of Nrf2 and its downstream genes (HO-1 and γ-GCSc). Furthermore, Nrf2 activation mediates the interventional effects of compound 8 against SiO2 nanoparticles (nm SiO2)-induced lung injury. Moreover, treatment with compound 8 significantly reduced lung inflammation and oxidative stress in nm SiO2-instilled mice. Molecular docking experiment suggested that 8 bound stably to the HO-1 protein by hydrogen bond interactions. Conclusion The dietary malate esters derivatives of B. striata could significantly increase the viability of nm SiO2-induced A549 cells and decrease the finer particles-induced cell damages. Militarine is especially promising compound for chemoprevention of lung cancer induced by nm SiO2 through activation of Nrf2 pathway.

Abstract
Nine new glucosyloxybenzyl 2-hydroxy-2-isobutylsuccinates, pleionosides M-U (1-9), and 12 known compounds (10-21) were isolated from the pseudobulbs of Pleione yunnanensis. Their structures and absolute configurations were established through a combination of HRESIMS and NMR data and supported by physical and chemical methods. Compounds 5, 6, 10, and 15 showed significant in vitro hepatoprotective activity against d-galactosamine (d-GalN)-induced toxicity in HL-7702 cells with increasing cell viability by 27%, 22%, 19%, and 31% compared to the model group (cf. bicyclol, 14%) at 10 μM, respectively. Compounds 4, 9, and 11 exhibited moderate hepatoprotective activity against N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP)-induced toxicity in HepG2 cells with increasing cell viability by 9%, 16%, and 12% compared to the model group (cf. bicyclol, 9%) at 10 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Gymnadenia conopsea R. Br. is a traditional Tibetan medicinal plant that grows at altitudes above 3000 m, which is used to treat neurasthenia, asthma, coughs, and chronic hepatitis. However, a comprehensive configuration of the chemical profile of this plant has not been reported because of the complexity of its chemical constituents. In this study, a rapid and precise method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) combined with an Orbitrap mass spectrometer (UPLC–Orbitrap–MS/MS) was established in both positive- and negative-ion modes to rapidly identify various chemical components in the tubers of G. conopsea for the first time. Finally, a total of 91 compounds, including 17 succinic acid ester glycosides, 9 stilbenes, 6 phenanthrenes, 19 alkaloids, 11 terpenoids and steroids, 20 phenolic acid derivatives, and 9 others, were identified in the tubers of G. conopsea based on the accurate mass within 3 ppm error. Furthermore, many alkaloids, phenolic acid derivates, and terpenes were reported from G. conopsea for the first time. This rapid method provides an important scientific basis for further study on the cultivation, clinical application, and functional food of G. conopsea.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), such as Uyghur Medicine (UM) has been used in clinical treatment for many years. TCM is featured as multiple targets and complex mechanisms of action, which is normally a combination of medicinal herbs and sometimes even contains certain rare animal medicinal ingredients. A question arises as to whether these animal materials can be removed replaced from TCM applications due to their valuable rare resources or animal ethics. Here, we select a classical UM Yimusake formula, which contains 3 animal drugs and other 8 herbs, and has got wealthy experience and remarkable achievements in treating erectile dysfunction (ED) in China. The active components, drug targets and therapeutic mechanisms have been comprehensively analyzed by systems-pharmacology methods. Additionally, to validate the inhibitory effects of all candidate compounds on their related targets, in vitro experiments, computational analysis and molecular dynamics simulations were performed. The results show that the modified, original and three animal materials display very similar mechanisms for an effective treatment of ED, indicating that it is quite possible to remove these three animal drugs from the original formula while still keep its efficiency. This work provides a new attempt for deleting animal materials from TCM, which should be important for optimization of traditional medicines.

Abstract
Gymnadenia conopsea (L.) R. Br. (Orchidaceae) is a perennial herbaceous orchid plant that grows widely throughout Europe and in temperate and subtropical zones of Asia. In China, its tuber has been used in traditional Chinese medicines, Tibetan medicines, Mongolian medicines and other ethnic medicines, and taken to treat numerous health conditions. The present paper provides a review of the traditional uses, phytochemistry, biological activities, and toxicology to highlight the future prospects of the plant. More than 120 chemical compounds have been isolated, and the primary components are glucosides, dihydrostilbenes, phenanthrenes, aromatic compounds, and other compounds. G. conopsea and its active constituents possess broad pharmacological properties, such as the tonifying effect, anti-oxidative activity, anti-viral activity, immunoregulatory, antianaphylaxis, antigastric ulcer, sedative, and hypnotic activities, etc. However, overexploitation combined with the habitat destruction has resulted in the rapid decrease of the resources of this plant, and the sustainable use of G. conopsea is necessary to study. Meanwhile, the toxicity of this plant had not been comprehensively studied, and the active constituents and the mechanisms of action of the tuber were still unclear. Further, studies on G. conopsea should lead to the development of scientific quality control and new drugs and therapies for various diseases; thus, its use and development require additional investigation.

Abstract
A flavan, eriocaulin A (1), and three flavone acyl glucosides, eriocaulosides A-C (2-4) were isolated from the capitula of Eriocaulon australe R. Br. (Eriocaulaceae), a Chinese medicine and an herb for health care beverages, together with seven known flavones and three isoflavones (5-14). The new flavonoids were elucidated as (2S)-3',4'-methylenedioxy-5-methoxy-7-hydroxyflavan (1), hispidulin 7-O-β-D-(6-O-cinnamoyl)glucopyranoside (2), jaceosidin 7-O-β-D-(6-O-p-coumaroyl)glucopyranoside (3), jaceosidin 7-O-β-D-(6-O-p-hydroxybenzoyl)glucopyranoside (4) based on their spectroscopic data. All the 14 flavonoids were obtained from this species for the first time. The in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 1-14 against human lung adenocarcinoma A549, human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7, and human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell lines was evaluated using the MTT colourimetric assay. Compounds 1, 7, and 9 were cytotoxic to A549, compounds 1, 2, 7, 9, 12, and 14 to MCF-7, and compounds 7, 9, and 14 to HeLa cells, with IC50 values ranging from 7.17 to 29.57 μg/ml, while the others were inactive (IC50>50 μg/ml).

Abstract
Eucomic acid [(2R)-2-(p-hydroxybenzyl)malic acid)] (1) and three new glucopyranosyloxybenzyl eucomate derivatives, vandaterosides I (2), II (3), and III (4), were isolated and identified from the stems of Vanda teres. Their cellular antiaging properties were evaluated in a human immortalized keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) by monitoring their effect on cytochrome c oxidase activity, implicated in mitochondrial respiratory function and cellular energy production. Eucomic acid (1) and vandateroside II (3) increased cytochrome c oxidase activity and/or expression, without enhancing cellular mitochondrial content. These two V. teres biomarkers apparently contributed to stimulate respiratory functions in keratinocytes. Since aging and its pathologies may be ascribed to a decline in mitochondrial functions, these biomarkers have the potential to become new natural ingredients for antiaging preparations to remedy age-related disorders such as skin aging.

Abstract
The methanolic extract from the whole plant of Sinocrassula indica (Crassulaceae) was found to inhibit the increase in serum glucose levels in oral administration of sucrose and glucose in rats at a dose of 250 mg/kg (p.o.). However, the extract did not inhibit the increase in serum glucose levels after intraperitoneal administration of glucose in these animals but did partly inhibit the gastric emptying. On the other hand, this extract significantly inhibited the increase in serum glucose levels after administration for 2 weeks in KK-A(y) mice, a genetically type II diabetic mice, at a dose of 250 mg/kg/d (p.o.) without significant changes of the weights of body, liver, and visceral fat. From the extract, four new acylated flavonol glycosides, sinocrassosides A(1), A(2), B(1), and B(2), were isolated together with 11 flavonoids and 2 megastigmanes. The absolute stereostructures of the four new compounds were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence.

Abstract
The methanol-eluted fraction of the methanolic extract from the tubers of Gymnadenia conopsea was found to show radical scavenging activities for DPPH and super oxide anion (.O2-) radicals. Three new glucosyloxybenzyl 2-isobutylmalates, gymnosides VIII, IX, and X, were isolated from this natural medicine together with 58 known constituents. The stereostructures of gymnosides were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. In addition, the phenanthrene and dihydrostilbene constituents showed radical scavenging activities and suggested the following structural requirements on radical scavenging activities; a) phenanthrenes: 1) dihydrogenation at the 9,10-positions enhances the activities, 2) the 1 or 3-p-hydroxybenzyl group enhances the activities; b) dihydrostilbenes: 1) methylation of the 3'-position reduces the activities, 2) the 2- and/or 6-p-hydroxybenzyl groups enhance the activities.
