Dantas FGDS, Castilho PFD, Almeida-Apolonio AAD, Araújo RPD, Oliveira KMPD. Mutagenic potential of medicinal plants evaluated by the Ames Salmonella/microsome assay: A systematic review. MUTATION RESEARCH-REVIEWS IN MUTATION RESEARCH 2020; 786:108338. [PMID: 33339578 DOI: 10.1016/j.mrrev.2020.108338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2020] [Revised: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
The Ames test has become one of the most commonly used tests to assess the mutagenic potential of medicinal plants since they have several biological activities and thus have been used in traditional medicine and in the pharmaceutical industry as a source of raw materials. Accordingly, this review aims to report previous use of the Ames test to evaluate the mutagenic potential of medicinal plants. A database was constructed by curating literature identified by a search on the electronic databases Medline (via Pubmed), Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science from 1975 to April 2020, using the following terms: "genotoxicity tests" OR "mutagenicity tests" OR "Ames test" AND "medicinal plants." From the research, 239 articles were selected, including studies of 478 species distributed across 111 botanical families, with Fabaceae, Asteraceae and Lamiaceae being the most frequent. It was identified that 388 species were non-mutagenic. Of these, 21% (83/388) showed antimutagenic potential, most notable in the Lamiaceae family. The results also indicate that 18% (90/478) of the species were mutagenic, of which 54% were mutagenic in the presence and absence of S9. Strains TA98 and TA100 showed a sensitivity of 93% in detecting plant extracts with mutagenic potential. However, the reliability of many reviewed studies regarding the botanical extracts may be questioned due to technical issues, such as testing being performed only in the presence or absence of S9, use of maximum doses below 5 mg/plate and lack of information on the cytotoxicity of tested doses. These methodological aspects additionally demonstrated that a discussion about the doses used in research on mixtures, such as the ones assessed with botanical extracts and the most sensitive strains employed to detect the mutagenic potential, should be included in a possible update of the guidelines designed by the regulatory agencies.

Zanatta AC, Mari A, Masullo M, Zeppone Carlos I, Vilegas W, Piacente S, Campaner Dos Santos L. Chemical metabolome assay by high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry and assessment of associated antitumoral activity of Actinocephalus divaricatus. RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2018; 32:241-250. [PMID: 29166547 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.8034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2017] [Revised: 10/30/2017] [Accepted: 11/05/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE Actinocephalus divaricatus (Eriocaulaceae) is an important source of income for rural communities as it is sold as an ornamental plant. To date, no investigation has been conducted concerning the chemical composition and biological studies of the aerial parts of A. divaricatus. METHODS The methanolic extract of the aerial parts of this species was chemically characterized. We applied an analytical dereplication approach based on Liquid Chromatography coupled to High-Resolution Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry in order to develop, identify and define rapidly the metabolite fingerprint of the aerial parts of A. divaricatus. Biological in vitro antitumor tests were undertaken using breast and lung cell lines of mice and humans. RESULTS High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) allowed the fast determination of 30 compounds, which comprised three different classes of compounds: naphthopyranones, flavonoids and saponins. Chromatographic fractionation of the crude methanolic extract validated these results, since it led to the isolation of compounds belonging to the aforementioned classes of compounds, including new acyl glycosylated flavonoids (6-hydroxy-7-methoxyquercetin-3-O-(2"-O-acetyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside and 6-hydroxy-7-methoxyquercetin-3-O-(6"-O-acetyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside), which were fully characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Mass Spectrometry experiments, and a known triterpenic saponin (3-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-30-norolean-12,20(29)-dien-28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester). Biological assays indicated that the methanolic extract of the capitula exhibited the best in vitro cytotoxicity against MCF7 cells (human breast cancer). CONCLUSIONS The HRMS technique enabled us to identify several classes of compounds. In addition, saponins were identified for the first time in plants belonging to the Eriocaulaceae family. Thus, the essential contribution of this work lies in the new elements it brings to the taxonomic discussion which the Actinocephalus genus as a distinct genus of the Paepalanthus. The results obtained show that the methanolic extract of the capitula could be a promising source of bioactive fractions and/or compounds that may contribute towards breast cancer treatment.

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
Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization multistage ion trap mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-IT-MSn) was used to analyze the secondary metabolites in the methanol extract of the capitulae of Eriocaulon ligulatum. The major components were mono-and diglycosides of flavonoids and naphthopyranones. Eleven compounds, including four new flavonol glycosides, were identified based on their fragmentation patterns in MS experiments and on NMR analysis of the isolated compounds. The described data may contribute to a better understanding of the taxonomic classification of the Eriocaulaceae family.
