Abstract
Peach blossom comes from the flower of Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, which is used as herbal tea and medicine in China and Korea. It could promote defecation and alleviate the abdominal pain. In this paper, the methods, ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method coupled with electrospray ionization hybrid linear trap quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry (LTQ OrbitrapMS) and UPLC system coupled with a diode array detector (DAD), were developed for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the flavonoids and phenolic acids in peach blossoms. Eight standards were divided into 3 types according to their basic skeletons: phenolic acids, quercetin-type flavonoids, and kaempferol-type flavonoids. The MSn fragmentation behaviors and diagnostic ions of these 3 types of compounds were proposed to aid the structural identification of components in peach blossom extract. By extracting the diagnostic ions from the mass spectrum in negative mode, a total of 25 compounds, including 8 phenolic acids and 17 flavonoids, were screened out. Among these compounds, 5 compounds (chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, rutin, hyperoside, and isoquercetrin) were quantitated by UPLC-DAD. The linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation were validated for the quantification method. The validated method was applied to assay 9 batches of peach blossoms from different regions. This study was the first report on the systematic qualitative analysis of compounds in peach blossom, providing insights into the quality control of peach blossom.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate hypoglycemic activity and elucidate the active composition of the fruit blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum). METHODS Methanol extracts of blueberry (MEB) were separated using a D101 macroporous resin column to yield quinic acid derivative (Fr.1)- and flavonoid (Fr.2)-rich fractions. The effects of the blueberry extracts on mRNA expression of GLUT-2 (glucose transporter type 2) and PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ), as well as on the activities of PPRE (peroxisome proliferator response element) and NF-κB were analyzed in LO2 normal liver cells. Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of GLUT-2, PPARγ, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNA. The PPRE and NF-κB activities were detected by a luciferase reporter assay. Western blotting was used to detect the levels of PPARγ, GLUT-2, and p65. The active compositions were isolated using various chromatography columns, and were analyzed by NMR. RESULTS mRNA and protein expression of GLUT-2 and PPARγ were significantly increased upon treatment with 400 μg/mL extracts of blueberry (P<0.05). The PPRE activity was also significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner upon administration of MEB (P<0.05). Furthermore, the NF-κB activity induced by lipopolysaccharides was inhibited by MEB (P<0.05). No fraction separated from MEB exhibited PPRE activation or NF-κB inhibition activity. Blueberry extract may execute its hypoglycemic activity by stimulating expression of GLUT-2 and PPARγ, and by inhibiting the inflammatory pathway. Together, quinic acid derivatives and flavonoids may result in a synergistic effect. Fourteen phenolic acids, including eight flavonoids, four quinic acid derivatives, and two other phenolic acids, were isolated and identified, and caffeoylquinic acid derivatives and quercetin glycosides were found to be the major constituents of blueberry. CONCLUSION Blueberry may have hypoglycemic activity that functions through synergistic effects with caffeoylquinic acid derivatives and quercetin glycosides.

PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS : PCA 2015; 26:137-144. [PMID: 25515713 DOI: 10.1002/pca.2545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2014] [Revised: 09/05/2014] [Accepted: 09/12/2014] [Indexed: 06/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alphitonia neocaledonica (Rhamnaceae) is an endemic tree of New Caledonia. Although three flavonoids have been identified in the leaves, the secondary metabolite profile of the fruits has never been investigated. OBJECTIVE Phytochemical investigation of A. neocaledonica fruits and evaluation of their anti-oxidant, anti-tyrosinase and cytotoxic activities. METHODS A hydromethanolic extract was fractionated by liquid-liquid extraction to obtain ethyl acetate and n-butanolic fractions. The ethyl-acetate-soluble part was purified by silica-gel column chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The n-butanol-soluble part was fractionated by centrifugal partition extraction (CPE) and the collected fractions were further purified by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) and HPLC. The chemical structures of the purified compounds were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. RESULTS Three triterpenoids and one flavonoid were isolated from the ethyl-acetate-soluble part. Fractions enriched in triterpenoids, flavonoids and catechin derivatives were obtained from the n-butanol-soluble part. Gallocatechin and flavonoids were obtained as pure compounds by further CPC and HPLC purification. The n-butanolic-soluble part showed anti-oxidant and anti-tyrosinase activities due to the presence of tannins and gallocatechin. The triterpenoid alphitolic acid showed a moderate cytotoxic activity against KB cell line (median inhibition concentration = 8.5 μM). CONCLUSIONS Nine known compounds including three triterpenes, five flavonoids and (+) gallocatechin, as well as a new 3-O-(6-E-feruloyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-]α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-quercetin, were isolated from A. neocaledonia fruits. The hydromethanolic extract possesses a potential cytotoxic activity due to the presence of triterpenes, and it can also be valuable as a cosmetic ingredient for its anti-oxidant and anti-tyrosinase activities.

Abstract
The methanolic extract from the flower buds of Prunus mume, cultivated in Zhejiang Province, China, showed an inhibitory effect on melanogenesis in theophylline-stimulated B16 melanoma 4A5 cells. From the methanolic extract, five acylated sucroses, mumeoses A-E, and three acylated quinic acid analogs, 5-O-(E)-p-coumaroylquinic acid ethyl ester, and mumeic acid-A and its methyl ester, were isolated together with 13 known compounds. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. Inhibitory effects of the isolated compounds on melanogenesis in theophylline-stimulated B16 melanoma 4A5 cells were also investigated. Acylated quinic acid analogs substantially inhibited melanogenesis. In particular, 5-O-(E)-feruloylquinic acid methyl ester exhibited a potent inhibitory effect [inhibition (%): 21.5±1.0 (P<0.01) at 0.1 μM]. Moreover, its biological effect was much stronger than that of the reference compound, arbutin [inhibition (%): 10.6±0.6 (P<0.01) at 10 μM]. Interestingly, the obtained acylated quinic acid analogs displaying melanogenesis inhibitory activity showed no cytotoxicity [cell viability >97% at 10 μM]. It is concluded that acylated quinic acid analogs are promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of skin disorders.
