Abstract
Coreopsis tinctoria (CT) improves energy metabolism. However, the role of CT in alleviating obesity-induced hyperglycemia by targeting the liver remains unknown. Therefore, this article aims to explore the mechanism by which CT improves energy metabolism and resists hyperglycemia. The water and ethanol extracts of CT were administered to high-fat diet-induced (HFD) obese C57BL/6J mice at a dose of 4 g/kg.bw (low-dose water extract, WL; low-dose ethanol extract, EL) or 10 g/kg.bw (high-dose water extract, WH; high-dose ethanol extract, EH). Mice that consumed a maintenance diet (LFD) were included as blank controls. Network pharmacology, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), L02 cell cultivation, and liver transcriptomics were used to examine the mechanism and functional components of CT against obesity-induced hyperglycemia. The results indicated that WL significantly (p < 0.05) alleviated glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in obesity-induced hyperglycemia. Kaempferol is the main active compound of CT, which demonstrated significant (p < 0.05) anti-hyperglycemic effects in obese mice and L02 cells. Finally, kaempferol significantly (p < 0.05; fold change >1.2) shifted the genes involved in carbon metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways toward the trend of LFD, indicating that it exerts an anti-hyperglycemic effect through these molecular mechanisms. Overall, oral intake of CT lowers blood glucose and improves insulin sensitivity in mice with obesity-induced hyperglycemia. Kaempferol is the primary functional component of CT.

Abstract
Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. (C. tinctoria) is a traditional medicinal plant, primarily found in plateau areas with altitudes exceeding 3000 m. The efficacy of C. tinctoria appears to be intricately tied to its quality. However, there is a scarcity of studies focused on evaluating the quality of C. tinctoria from diverse geographical locations. In this study, we used ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight-tandem mass spectrometry to analyze and identify the prevalent chemical components in 12 batches of C. tinctoria sourced from Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet, and Yunnan provinces in China. By using cluster analysis and discriminant analysis of partial least squares, we assessed the similarity and identified varying components in the 12 batches of C. tinctoria. Subsequently, their quality was further evaluated. Utilizing network pharmacology, we identified potential active components for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The findings revealed the presence of 16 flavonoids, 3 phenylpropanes, 2 sugars, 2 amino acids, and 7 hydrocarbons in the analyzed samples. Through variable importance screening, 17 constituents were identified as quality difference markers. Marein and flavanomarein emerged as pivotal markers, crucial for distinguishing variations in C. tinctoria. In addition, network pharmacology predicted 187 targets for 9 common active components, including marein and flavanomarein. Simultaneously, 1747 targets related to diabetes mellitus were identified. The drug-component-disease target network comprised 91 nodes and 179 edges, encompassing 1 drug node, 9 component nodes, and 81 target nodes. In summary, marein and flavanomarein stand out as key biomarkers for assessing the quality of C. tinctoria, offering a scientific foundation for the quality evaluation of C. tinctoria Nutt.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chrysanthemum is one of the most important and popular ornamentals over the world. Chrysanthemum drink is a type of traditional healthy drink like Chinese tea. Owing to the differences in the chemical compositions, different chrysanthemum varieties have different medicinal effects on human health. Thus, the identification of different chrysanthemum varieties is very important and necessary. This study aims to distinguish seven chrysanthemum varieties that are widely used in China. First, total lipids were obtained from chrysanthemums. After that, lipid profiles were characterized using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography hyphenated with a Q Exactive™ high resolution-accurate-mass mass spectrometer. RESULTS A total of 163 lipid molecular species from 17 types of lipid classes in seven varieties of chrysanthemums were determined. Principal component analysis indicated that three lipid molecules, lysophosphatidylethanolamine(18:2) (LPE(18:2)), LPE(16:0), and phosphatidic acid(18:2/18:3) (variable importance in projection >3, P < 0.001), can be used as potential biomarkers to distinguish seven chrysanthemum varieties. Hierarchical cluster analysis showed that the lipid molecular profiles of 'Gongju' were most similar to 'Jinzijianju', followed by 'Huaibaiju', 'Boju', 'Hangbaiju', 'Chuju', and 'Fubaiju'. CONCLUSION This comprehensive analysis provided a new method to identify chrysanthemum varieties through the perspective of lipidomics combined with chemometrics. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Nitrogen (N) deficiency levels were investigated for their potential to maintain the yield and improve antioxidant activity of Coreopsis tinctoria. Inflorescences and leaves at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 d after flowering were frozen at -80 °C and plant growth, antioxidant activity, bioactive substance, enzyme activity, and gene expression were evaluated. N deficiency maintained the total number of flowers, promoted phenol and flavonoid accumulation, and enhanced antioxidant activity. Moreover, N deficiency stimulated activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H) and 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL), and induced CtPAL, CtC4H and Ct4CL gene expression. The data also suggest that N-deficiency-induced phenolic and flavonoid accumulation occurs due to the activation of biosynthetic pathways in C. tinctoria. We characterize the unique features of C. tinctoria under N-deficiency conditions and provide valuable information for the cultivation of high-N use efficiency varieties with low input and high output.

Abstract
Ylang-ylang (YY) essential oil (EO) is distilled from the fresh-mature flowers of the Annonaceae family tropical tree Cananga odorata [Lam.] Hook. f. & Thomson, and is widely used in perfume and cosmetic industries for its fragrant character. Herein, two different metabolomic profiles obtained using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), applying different stains, namely 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH·) and p-anisaldehyde, were used for discrimination of 52 YY samples across geographical origins and distillation grades. The first profile is developed using the DPPH· stain based on the radical scavenging activity (RSA) of YY EOs. Results of the HPTLC-DPPH· assay confirmed that RSA of YY EOs is in proportion to the length of distillation times. Major components contributing to the RSA of YY EOs were tentatively identified as germacrene D and α-farnesene, eugenol and linalool, by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-flame ionisation detector (GC-FID). The second profile was developed using the general-purpose p-anisaldehyde stain based on the general chemical composition of YY EOs. Untargeted metabolomic discrimination of YY EOs from different geographical origins was performed based on the HPTLC-p-anisaldehyde profiles, followed by principal component analysis (PCA). A discrimination and prediction model for identification of YY distillation grade was developed using PCA and partial least squares regression (PLS) based on binned HPTLC-ultraviolet (254 nm) profiles, which was successfully applied to distillation grade determination of blended YY Complete EOs.

Abstract
Quality control has been a significant issue in herbal medicine since herbs became widely used to heal. Modern technologies have improved the methods of evaluating the quality of medicinal herbs but the methods of adulterating them have also grown in sophistication. In this paper we undertook a comprehensive literature search to identify the key analytical techniques used in the quality control of herbal medicine, reviewing their uses and limitations. We also present a new tool, based on mitochondrial profiling, that can be used to measure medicinal herbal quality. Besides being fundamental to the energy metabolism required for most cellular activities, mitochondria play a direct role in cellular signalling, apoptosis, stress responses, inflammation, cancer, ageing, and neurological function, mirroring some of the most common reasons people take herbal medicines. A fingerprint of the specific mitochondrial effects of medicinal herbs can be documented in order to assess their potential efficacy, detect adulterations that modulate these effects and determine the relative potency of batches. Furthermore, through this method it will be possible to assess whole herbs or complex formulas thus avoiding the issues inherent in identifying active ingredients which may be complex or unknown. Thus, while current analytical methods focus on determining the chemical quality of herbal medicines, including adulteration and contamination, mitochondrial functional analysis offers a new way of determining the quality of plant derived products that is more closely linked to the biological activity of a product and its potential clinical effectiveness.

Abstract
This study was aimed at evaluating the prospect of edible chrysanthemum extract as a potential substance for the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia. Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. 'Boju' extract (CBE), which had the strongest xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, showed a significant hypouricemic effect on potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic rats through inhibiting serum xanthine oxidase activity, regulating renal uric acid transport-related protein (ABCG2, URAT1 and GLUT9) expression and blood lipid levels, and protecting renal function. Serum metabolomics based on UPLC-ESI-QTOF/MS was used to illustrate mechanisms underlying the amelioration effect of CBE on hyperuricemia. A total of 35 potential biomarkers were identified. CBE prevented the pathological process of hyperuricemia by regulating 16/17 biomarkers associated with tryptophan, sphingolipid, glycerophospholipid and arachidonic acid metabolisms. CBE could alleviate hyperuricemia-related diseases including chronic kidney disease, hyperlipidemia and inflammation via reducing indoxyl sulfate, lysophosphatidylcholines and arachidonic acid levels, exhibiting its applicability and superiority in the treatment of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
The present study aimed to explore the potential antioxidant molecules of the Asian hornet venom (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) responsible for radical scavenging activity and human keratinocyte protection against oxidative stress. We developed a first technical platform that combined a DPPH radical scavenging chemical assay and cytotoxicity and ROS (reactive oxygen species) production in HaCaT keratinocyte cells exposed to UVB to evaluate the antioxidant property of V. velutina venom. We further employed Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) combined with the DPPH assay as a targeted separation approach to isolate the antioxidant compounds responsible for the free radical scavenging property of V. velutina venom. In parallel, the latter was fractionated by a HPLC-DAD non-targeted separation approach. From this experiment, nine fractions were generated which were again evaluated separately for their antioxidant properties using DPPH assays. Results showed that only one fraction exhibited significant antioxidant activity in which serotonin was identified as the major compound by a UHPLC-ESI-QTOF HRMS/MS approach. We finally demonstrated, using purified serotonin molecule that this bioactive structure is mostly responsible for the free radical scavenging property of the crude venom as evidenced by DPPH and ROS assays in HaCaT cells exposed to UVB.

Abstract
Okanin is a major flavonoid found in Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt., arousing huge interest recently for its considerable biological characteristics including antioxidant, antineurotoxic, and antidiabetic activities. An ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) was successfully used to determine okanin in rat plasma after oral administration of okanin. Bavachalcone acted as an internal standard (IS). By gradient elution, IS and analyte were separated on a C18 column for 7 min at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min with acetonitrile-0.1% acetic acid mobile phase. The stability, matrix effect, extraction recovery, accuracy, precision, linearity, and selectivity of the method were firstly demonstrated. The major pharmacokinetic parameters of okanin in rat plasma were then measured using the developed UPLC-MS method. An UPLC-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was finally established to obtain the specific and accurate mass of okanin in rat plasma after oral administration, and its proposed fragmentation was further elaborated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flavanomarein is the main component of Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. (C. tinctoria), which is a globally well-known flower tea that has a distinct flavor and many beneficial health effects, such as antioxidant activities. We aimed to explore the effect of flavanomarein on a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned cell model of oxidative stress. METHODS In this study, we used 6-OHDA-lesioned PC12 cells and primary cortical neurons to investigate the protective effects of flavanomarein and its potential mechanism. RESULTS The results indicated that pretreatment with flavanomarein (25, 50, or 100 µM for 24 h) significantly increased the cell viability, reduced the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and improved the mitochondrial membrane potential (∆Ψm) and mitochondrial impairment. Additionally, flavanomarein markedly reduced the gene expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and protein kinase C ζ (PKC-ζ), the nuclear translocation of p65, and the levels of p-AMPK-α and acetyl-p53. Flavanomarein also elevated the gene expression of P85α, PKC-β1, and Bcl-2, the protein expression of Sirt1 and ICAD, and the phosphorylation level of AKT. CONCLUSIONS Together, these results suggest that flavanomarein protects PC12 cells and primary cortical neurons from 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity by upregulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and attenuating the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Therefore, our study provides evidence that may aid in the development of a potential compound against 6-OHDA toxicity.

Extraction Optimization and Effects of Extraction Methods on the Chemical Structures and Antioxidant Activities of Polysaccharides from Snow Chrysanthemum ( Coreopsis Tinctoria). Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:E215. [PMID: 30960199 PMCID: PMC6419038 DOI: 10.3390/polym11020215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2019] [Revised: 01/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In order to explore snow chrysanthemum polysaccharides (SCPs) as functional food ingredients and natural antioxidants for industrial applications, both microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) were firstly optimized for the extraction of SCPs. Furthermore, the effects of conventional hot water extraction, UAE, and MAE on the chemical structures and antioxidant activities of SCPs were investigated. The maximum extraction yields of SCPs extracted by UAE (4.13 ± 0.24%) and MAE (4.26 ± 0.21%) were achieved at the optimized extraction parameters as follows: ultrasound amplitude (68%) and microwave power (500 W), ultrasound extraction time (21 min) and microwave extraction time (6.5 min), and ratio of liquid to raw material (42.0 mL/g for UAE and 59.0 mL/g for MAE). In addition, different extraction methods significantly affected the contents of uronic acids, the molecular weights, the molar ratio of constituent monosaccharides, and the degree of esterification of SCPs. SCPs exhibited remarkable DPPH (IC50 ≤ 1.702 mg/mL), ABTS (IC50 ≤ 1.121 mg/mL), and nitric oxide (IC50 ≤ 0.277 mg/mL) radical scavenging activities, as well as reducing power (≥ 80.17 ± 4.8 μg Trolox/mg), which suggested that SCPs might be one of the major contributors toward the antioxidant activities of snow chrysanthemum tea. The high antioxidant activities (DPPH, IC50 = 0.693 mg/mL; ABTS, IC50 = 0.299 mg/mL; nitric oxide, IC50 = 0.105 mg/mL; and reducing power, 127.79 ± 2.57 μg Trolox/mg) observed in SCP-M extracted by the MAE method might be partially attributed to its low molecular weight and high content of unmethylated galacturonic acids. Results suggested that the MAE method could be an efficient technique for the extraction of SCPs with high antioxidant activity, and SCPs could be further explored as natural antioxidants for industrial application.

Abstract
Background: Native Americans have had a rich ethnobotanical heritage for treating diseases, ailments, and injuries. Cherokee traditional medicine has provided numerous aromatic and medicinal plants that not only were used by the Cherokee people, but were also adopted for use by European settlers in North America. Methods: The aim of this review was to examine the Cherokee ethnobotanical literature and the published phytochemical investigations on Cherokee medicinal plants and to correlate phytochemical constituents with traditional uses and biological activities. Results: Several Cherokee medicinal plants are still in use today as herbal medicines, including, for example, yarrow (Achillea millefolium), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), and blue skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). This review presents a summary of the traditional uses, phytochemical constituents, and biological activities of Cherokee aromatic and medicinal plants. Conclusions: The list is not complete, however, as there is still much work needed in phytochemical investigation and pharmacological evaluation of many traditional herbal medicines.

A powerful on line ABTS +-CE-DAD method to screen and quantify major antioxidants for quality control of Shuxuening Injection. Sci Rep 2018; 8:5441. [PMID: 29615669 PMCID: PMC5883040 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-23748-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2017] [Accepted: 03/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel method of on-line 2,2'-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate)-Capillary Electrophoresis-Diode Array Detector (on-line ABTS+-CE-DAD) was developed to screen the major antioxidants from complex herbal medicines. ABTS+, one of well-known oxygen free radicals was firstly integrated into the capillary. For simultaneously detecting and separating ABTS+ and chemical components of herb medicines, some conditions were optimized. The on-line ABTS+-CE-DAD method has successfully been used to screen the main antioxidants from Shuxuening injection (SI), an herbal medicines injection. Under the optimum conditions, nine ingredients of SI including clitorin, rutin, isoquercitrin, Quercetin-3-O-D-glucosyl]-(1-2)-L-rhamnoside, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, kaempferol-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, apigenin-7-O-Glucoside, quercetin-3-O-[2-O-(6-O-p-hydroxyl-E-coumaroyl)-D-glucosyl]-(1-2)-L-rhamnoside, 3-O-{2-O-[6-O-(p-hydroxyl-E-coumaroyl)-glucosyl]}-(1-2) rhamnosyl kaempfero were separated and identified as the major antioxidants. There is a linear relationship between the total amount of major antioxidants and total antioxidative activity of SI with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.9456. All the Relative standard deviations of recovery, precision and stability were below 7.5%. Based on these results, these nine ingredients could be selected as combinatorial markers to evaluate quality control of SI. It was concluded that on-line ABTS+-CE-DAD method was a simple, reliable and powerful tool to screen and quantify active ingredients for evaluating quality of herbal medicines.
