Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Justicia procumbens L. (JP) (Oriental Water Willow, Shrimp plant, Acanthaceae) is a herbaceous plant that is commonly found in India, Taiwan, Australia, Southern China, Vietnam, and Korea. The plant has been primarily used to treat fever, asthma, edema, cough, jaundice, urinary tract infection, and sore throat, as well as for snake bites and as a fish-killer. In the present review, the reported phyto-chemical, ethno-pharmacological, biological, and toxicological studies on J. procumbens were summarized. Special focus had been given to its reported lignans, regarding their isolation, characterization, quantitative estimation, and biosynthesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A survey of the literature was done using assorted databases and publishers; Scopus, Sci-Finder, Web of Science, PubMed, GoogleScholar, ScienceDirect, Wiley, Taylors&Francis, Bentham, Thieme, and Springer. RESULTS Currently, 95 metabolites have been separated fromJ. procumbens. Lignans and their glycosides were reported as main phyto-constituents of J. procumbens. Various methods are mentioned for quantitative estimation of these lignans. These phyto-constituents possessed wide pharmacological effectiveness, such as antiplatelet aggregation, antimicrobial, antitumor, and antiviral. CONCLUSIONS Many of the stated effects are harmonious with the reported traditional uses of this plant. This data could further support J. procumbens's utilization as a herbal remedy and drug lead. However, further study of J. procumbens toxicity, as well as preclinical and clinical investigation is required to ensure the safe usage of J. procumbens.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of the twigs of Cleistanthus sumatranus (Phyllanthaceae) led to the isolation of 10 undescribed lignans, sumatranins A-J (1-10). Compounds 1-4 are unprecedented furopyran lignans characterized by a unique 2,3,3a,9a-tetrahydro-4H-furo[2,3-b]chromene heterotricyclic framework. Compounds 9 and 10 are rare 9'-nor-dibenzylbutane lignans. Structures were established based on analyses of spectroscopic data, X-ray crystallographic data, and experimental ECD spectra. Immunosuppressive assays revealed compounds 3 and 9 displayed moderate inhibitory effects with good selectivity indexes against LPS-induced B lymphocyte proliferation.

Top-down lignomics analysis of the French oak lignin by atmospheric pressure photoionization and electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry: Identification of a novel series of lignans. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2021; 56:e4676.

Abstract
We report herein the top-down lignomic analysis of virgin released lignin (VRL) extracted from the French oak wood using atmospheric pressure photoionization quadrupole orthogonal time-of-flight mass spectrometry (APPI-QqTOF-MS) (+ ion mode). Eight major protonated lignin oligomers were identified using the APPI-QqTOF-MS/MS of this complex VRL mixture without any kind of purification. This series of protonated oligomer ions were identified as neolignan cedrusin (1), five different aryltetralin lignans dimers (2-6), one lignan-dehydroshikimic acid complex (7), and a lignan trimer (8). Similarly, electrospray ionization (ESI)-QqTOF-MS (+ ion mode) allowed us to identify three extra aryltetralin lignan derivatives (9-11). The Kendrick mass defect analysis was used for the simplification of this complex APPI-QqTOF-MS into a compositional map, which displayed clustering points of associated ions possessing analogous elemental composition. This series of novel protonated molecules were selected and subjected to low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID)-MS/MS analyses. The obtained gas-phase fragmentation patterns helped to tentatively assign their most likely structures. Also, it was found that the use of different APPI and ESI ambient ionization techniques enhances the ionization of different types of lignin oligomers.

Abstract
Juechuang, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, is originated from Rostellularia procumbens (L.) Nees. Many studies have shown that the ethyl acetate extract from Juechaung may inhibit platelet aggregation. However, the antiplatelet aggregation mechanism of Juechuang requires more systematic research. In this article, network pharmacology was used to explore the antiplatelet aggregation components and its antiplatelet aggregation mechanism. Different components were evaluated and screened by pharmacokinetic characteristics. The potential targets of active ingredients were predicted by a reverse pharmacophore matching method, and the targets were screened according to targets related to antiplatelet aggregation in the GeneCards database. Thus, an interaction network of component-target-pathway of Juechuang was generated using Cytoscape 3.2.1. software. Furthermore, the binding energy of relevant active components with key targets was calculated using a Lamarck genetic algorithm in the molecular docking calculations. Finally, the study identified 28 potentially active ingredients in Juechuang, providing further evidence that the active ingredients act on 277 targets, and 38 protein targets related to antiplatelet aggregation were screened. Through the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genome pathway enrichment analysis, we found that the mechanism of antiplatelet aggregation may be related to the Ras signaling pathway, platelet activation signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, etc. Via molecular docking of 2 targets, non-receptor tyrosine kinases(SRC) and MAPK were selected for molecular docking. By comparing the molecular docking results of Chinensinaphthol, Taiwanin E, Tuberculatin, Cycloeucalenol, and Justicidin B to the control drug, we found that those test molecules combined with targets and lead to high binding activity. These molecular docking results were also consistent with the literature values, and they helped identify the active ingredients and assured the reliability of the network analysis. This study may further provide a reference for the systematic study of the pharmacodynamic effect and the antiplatelet aggregation mechanism of Juechuang.

Abstract
Herein, we detail a unified synthetic approach to the classical lignan family of natural products that hinges on divergence from a common intermediate that was strategically identified from nature's biosynthetic blueprints. Efforts toward accessing the common intermediate through a convergent and modular approach resulted in the discovery of a sterically encumbered photoredox catalyst that can selectively generate carbonyl ylides from electron-rich epoxides. These can undergo concerted [3 + 2] dipolar cycloadditions to afford tetrahydrofurans, which were advanced (2-4 steps) to at least one representative natural product or natural product scaffold within all six subtypes in classical lignans. The application of those synthetic blueprints to the synthesis of heterolignans bearing unnatural functionality was demonstrated, which establishes the potential of this strategy to accelerate structure-activity-relationship studies of these natural product frameworks and their rich biological activity.

Abstract
Background The Acanthaceae family is an important source of therapeutic drugs and ethno medicines. There are many famous medicinal plants from this family, such as Andrographis paniculata, Baphicacanthus cusia, and Dicliptera chinensis. Justicia procumbens (J. procumbens) is widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical of the world. It has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for cancer. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay showed the ethyl acetate extract of J. procumbens had a cytotoxic activity. Therefore, qualitative and quantitative analysis of the chemical constituents in the ethyl acetate extract was important for understanding its pharmacological mechanism. Results A high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection coupled to electrospray ionisation quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry procedure was established. Eleven dibenzylbutanes and four arylnaphthalenes were confirmed by HPLC–DAD–ESI–QTOF–MS analysis. A novel dibenzylbutane (5-methoxy-4,4′-di-O-methylsecolariciresinol-9′-monoacetate) and seven isomers of arylnaphthalene were isolated and characterized by NMR and QTOF–MS. Compounds 1, 2, and 13 were detected for the first time. The content of six lignans were determinated in the ethyl acetate extract. Conclusions This study showed that the cytotoxic activity assay of J. procumbens could be mainly attributed to the constituents of lignans. The bioactivity of the ethyl acetate extract and determined compounds support the traditional use of this plant in cancer. These chemical constituents may be developed as novel therapeutics.

Abstract
A rapid, stable, and sensitive method based on ultra-fast liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-ESI-MS/MS) was established and optimized for quantification and pharmacokinetics analysis of chinensinaphthol methyl ether (CME) in rat urine. Samples were prepared by liquid phase extraction with ethyl acetate, and chromatographic separation was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC(®) BEH Phenyl column (2.1×50mm, 1.7μm). For gradient elution, we used a mobile phase consisting of water containing 0.1% formic acid and 5mmol/L ammonium formate and methanol with 0.1% formic acid. The quantification was executed under multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in positive mode. The precursor/product transition (m/z) in the positive ion mode was [M+H](+)m/z=395.1→346.1. This method was validated by evaluating specificity, linearity, matrix effects, recovery, accuracy, precision, and stability, which were all shown to be reasonable and reliable. The lower limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.5ng/mL, and the linear range was 0.5-100ng/mL. The method was successfully applied to quantify and analyze the pharmacokinetics of CME in rat urine. After oral administration of a single dose of CME (5.0mg/kg), the accumulated amount of CME excreted in urine was 162.3±54.1ng, and the terminal elimination half-life was 53.4±5.3h, indicating low CME excretion in urine and significant CME metabolism in vivo.

Abstract
Lignans, which are recognized as main constituents in Justicia procumbens, have attracted considerable attention due to their pharmacological activities, including antitumor, anti-hepatitic, cytotoxic, anti-microbial, and anti-virus properties. Preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was successfully applied to the isolation and purification of four lignans (justicidin B (1), justicidin A (2), 6'-hydroxyjusticidin C (3) and lignan J1 (4)) from J. procumbens using stepwise elution with a pair of two-phase solvent systems composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water at (1.3:1:1.3:1, v/v) and (2.5:1:2.5:1, v/v). The preparative HSCCC separation was performed on 300 mg of crude sample yielding compounds 1 (19.7 mg), 2 (9.86 mg), 3 (11.26 mg), and 4 (2.54 mg) in a one-step separation, with purities over 95% as determined by HPLC. The structures of these compounds were identified by MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. This is the first report on the application of HSCCC to the efficient separation of lignans from J. procumbens.

A critique on the structural analysis of lignins and application of novel tandem mass spectrometric strategies to determine lignin sequencing. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2015; 50:5-48. [PMID: 25601673 DOI: 10.1002/jms.3541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2013] [Revised: 10/31/2014] [Accepted: 11/03/2014] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
This review is devoted to the application of MS using soft ionization methods with a special emphasis on electrospray ionization, atmospheric pressure photoionization and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization MS and tandem MS (MS/MS) for the elucidation of the chemical structure of native and modified lignins. We describe and critically evaluate how these soft ionization methods have contributed to the present-day knowledge of the structure of lignins. Herein, we will introduce new nomenclature concerning the chemical state of lignins, namely, virgin released lignins (VRLs) and processed modified lignins (PML). VRLs are obtained by liberation of lignins through degradation of vegetable matter by either chemical hydrolysis and/or enzymatic hydrolysis. PMLs are produced by subjecting the VRL to a series of further chemical transformations and purifications that are likely to alter their original chemical structures. We are proposing that native lignin polymers, present in the lignocellulosic biomass, are not made of macromolecules linked to cellulose fibres as has been frequently reported. Instead, we propose that the lignins are composed of vast series of linear related oligomers, having different lengths that are covalently linked in a criss-cross pattern to cellulose and hemicellulose fibres forming the network of vegetal matter. Consequently, structural elucidation of VRLs, which presumably have not been purified and processed by any other type of additional chemical treatment and purification, may reflect the structure of the native lignin. In this review, we present an introduction to a MS/MS top-down concept of lignin sequencing and how this technique may be used to address the challenge of characterizing the structure of VRLs. Finally, we offer the case that although lignins have been reported to have very high or high molecular weights, they might not exist on the basis that such polymers have never been identified by the mild ionizing techniques used in modern MS.

Abstract
HPLC fingerprints were developed for the quality evaluation of Justicia procumbens and its compound preparation, Jian-er syrup, together with the simultaneous quantification of eight arylnaphthalide lignans (6'-hydroxy justicidin B, 6'-hydroxy justicidin A, 6'-hydroxy justicidin C, justicidin B, chinensinaphthol methyl ether, justicidin C, taiwanin C, and neojusticin A). Samples were separated with a Shiseido Capcell Pak C(18) reversed-phase column (250×4.6 mm id, 5 μm) using acetonitrile and water as the mobile phase. The column temperature was maintained at 35°C and the wavelength of detector was set at 256 nm. For fingerprint analysis, 17 peaks were selected as the characteristic peaks for the evaluation of the similarities among different J. procumbens samples collected in different places. The structures of lignans were confirmed by diagnostic fragments in the positive ESI-MS(n) . The new method was successfully applied for the chromatographic fingerprint analysis and simultaneous determination of eight lignans in its compound preparation, Jian-er syrup. All the results indicated that HPLC fingerprint assay in combination with multi-marker determination afforded a useful method for the quality control of J. procumbens and its compound preparation, Jian-er syrup.

Abstract
The Jian-er syrup is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicinal preparation refined from two herbs, Metaplexis japonica (Thunb.) Makino and Justicia procumbens L. A new lignan, named 6'-hydroxy-Justicidin B, was isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the Jian-er syrup and its structure was established on the basis of spectral analysis. The content of 6'-hydroxy-Justicidin B in the Jian-er syrup was determined by RP-HPLC for the first time. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 column (150 mmx4.6 mm i.d., 5 microm) at 25 degrees C and the mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile and water (31:69 v/v) detected at 256 nm at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. This method was validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection, limit of quantitation and solution stability. It can be used to control the quality of this preparation effectively.
