Pan L, Xu M, Wang N, Jia Y, Xiu Y. Determination and tissue distribution comparisons of five xanthones after orally administering crude and processed gamboge. Biomed Chromatogr 2023; 37:e5516. [PMID: 36198055 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.5516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Caged polyprenylated xanthones are the main active ingredients isolated from the resin of Garcinia hanburyi, which has been reported to exhibit potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. This study aimed to develop sensitive and specific ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with the triple quadrupole mass spectrometry method for investigating the tissue distribution of five xanthones in rats: β-morellic acid, isogambogenic acid, gambogenic acid, R-gambogic acid and S-gambogic acid. All tissue samples were prepared using the liquid-liquid extraction method and separated on a C8 column with a gradient system. Detection was performed on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in multiple-reaction monitoring using positive ionization. The method established in this assay was successfully applied to the tissue distribution study of the five selected xanthones after orally administering crude and processed gamboge in rat tissues. The results indicated that these five xanthones were distributed to rat tissues rapidly and could be detected in all of the selected tissues after oral administration. After processing, the contents of R-gambogic acid and S-gambogic acid in the gastrointestinal tract were significantly reduced. The findings of this study might be helpful in further understanding the processing mechanism of gamboge and providing references for its reasonable clinical application.

Therapeutic potential of gambogic acid, a caged xanthone, to target cancer. Cancer Lett 2017; 416:75-86. [PMID: 29246645 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2017.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 109] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2017] [Revised: 12/04/2017] [Accepted: 12/08/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Natural compounds have enormous biological and clinical activity against dreadful diseases such as cancer, as well as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders. In spite of the widespread research carried out in the field of cancer therapeutics, cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases with no perfect treatment till date. Adverse side effects and the development of chemoresistance are the imperative limiting factors associated with conventional chemotherapeutics. For this reason, there is an urgent need to find compounds that are highly safe and efficacious for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Gambogic acid (GA) is a xanthone structure extracted from the dry, brownish gamboge resin secreted from the Garcinia hanburyi tree in Southeast Asia and has inherent anti-cancer properties. In this review, the molecular mechanisms underlying the targets of GA that are liable for its effective anti-cancer activity are discussed that reveal the potential of GA as a pertinent candidate that can be appropriately developed and designed into a capable anti-cancer drug.
