Abstract
Seahorses have important edible and medicinal values including strengthening the body, tonifying the liver and kidneys, and reducing swelling. And there are abundant seahorse species on Earth. Many seahorses have large price differences due to the scarcity of resources, and some seahorses with similar appearances appear to be confused for use. While in market trading, Hippocampus is susceptible to loss of specialized morphology characteristics, making it difficult to distinguish between specific species. Here we report an effective method based on peptide biomarkers for the identification of seahorse species. Peptide biomarkers for each species were predicted using nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (Nano-LC-MS/MS) combined with chemometrics software. One unique biomarker peptide for each species was synthesized and verified, and finally developed a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) multiple reaction monitoring method. The results indicate that the method has great potential for species-specific identification of seahorses and their preparations, among others.

Food Sci Nutr 2024; 12:1095-1104. [PMID: 38370070 PMCID: PMC10867490 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Three-spot seahorse (Hippocampus trimaculatus) has been consumed as traditional Chinese medicine in Asian society. This study was designed to analyze the bioactive compounds of the solvent extracts from cultured three-spot seahorse by high pressure liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI/MS/MS). Subsequently, their biological activities were evaluated and confirmed by cell modes and Western blot analysis. Experimental results indicated that taurine and arginine were the primary bioactive compounds identified and quantified without pre- or post-column derivatization within 20 min retention time. The analytical method was established and validated with intraday/interday RSD from 0.25% to 3.34% and with recovery from 87.8% to 91.2%. As compared to other extracts, water layer extract (WLE) contained the most taurine and arginine contents of 6.807 and 0.437 mg/g (dry basis), respectively. In the meanwhile, WLE also showed anti-inflammatory activity on LPS-induced NO production and inhibited the protein expression of TNF-α and COX-2 by Western blot analysis with better cell viability.
