人参连作土壤对不同生育期人参生长发育及抗氧化系统的影响

人参产业是吉林省的特色支柱健康产业,但由于人参连作障碍的限制,使得人参产业面临着资源枯竭。通过探究人参连作土壤对正常人参生长发育的影响,研究破解人参连作障碍。以正常生长的盆栽人参样本为对照组（Control Check, CK）,以连作土壤种植人参样本为模型组（Continuous Crop obstacles, CCO）,从植物组织形态、生理生化水平和组织内抗氧化水平等3个方面,系统分析了不同生长时期连作土壤对正常人参生长发育的影响。结果表明,CCO组人参植株的株高、主根长、须根数在采收期较CK组相比具有显著差异（P<0.05）。在果实期和采收期,CCO组样本组织内过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性显著降低,丙二醛（MDA）含量显著增加（P<0.05）;在采收期,与CK组比较,CCO组人参过氧化物酶（POD）的活性显著增加（P<0.05）,超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性显著降低（P<0.05）,表明人参连作土壤可显著影响对正常人参植株的氧化应激水平与生长发育两个方面,如果能够通过土壤改良的方法,破解连作难题,则将有效解决吉林省的人参种植领域瓶颈问题。

实验使用超声喷泉替代气溶胶进行传质,改进了超声雾化提取-固相萃取法,设计了实验装置,并用于西洋参叶中的8种常见人参皂苷的提取。对提取剂种类、体积、pH值和盐浓度,洗脱剂种类和体积以及吸附剂质量等影响因素进行了考察与优化。在最优条件下,8种人参皂苷的回收率在96.3%~110.6%之间,RSD在2.8%~4.3%之间,本方法对8种人参皂苷均具有良好的提取率。与传统的超声雾化提取-固相萃取法相比,本方法简化了提取装置,缩短了提取时间,提高了提取效率。     

反相高效液相色谱法测定人参皂甙Compound-K的含量

人参皂甙compound-K(C-K)在人参中的含量极低,但它是其他含量较高的人参皂甙Rb1和Rb2等在人体肠道内的主要 降解产物和最终吸收形式,具有很高的生物活性。采用反相高效液相色谱法测定了人参总皂甙发酵液中C-K的含量。色谱 条件为:反相C18柱;乙腈-水(体积比为48∶52)溶液为流动相,流速1.0 mL/min;紫外检测波长203 nm;柱温35 ℃;外标法 定量。结果表明:C-K的质量浓度为0.05~0.8 g/L时,其峰面积与质量浓度具有良好的线性关系,相关系数为0.9998。方法 的检测限(S/N=3)为2.5 mg/L,峰面积测定值的相对标准偏差(n=6)为2.20%。测定栽培人参总皂甙及三七茎叶总皂甙微生 物发酵液中C-K的平均加标回收率(n=3)分别为98.6%和99.7%。该方法快速简便,准确可靠,可用于C-K的制备研究及药物 开发。     

密闭式微波降解法促进常见人参皂苷向稀有人参皂苷转化的规律

采用密闭微波技术对7种常见人参皂苷单体(Rb1,Rb2,Rb3,Rc,Rd,Re和Rg1)进行降解,通过高效液相色谱(HPLC)分析并与相同条件下非微波降解物对比,研究了密闭微波降解人参皂苷的产物在化学结构及组成上的变化规律,以期快速、高效地制备生物活性高的稀有人参皂苷.结果表明,密闭式微波降解法能够使常见人参皂苷基本降解完全,而相同条件下非微波降解法则基本不发生降解.原人参二醇型人参皂苷易水解掉C20位糖,并发生C20位构型变化,生成20(R)-Rg3和20(S)-Rg3,其中20-(R)为优势构型,C20位羟基进一步脱水产生稀有人参皂苷Rk1和Rg5.同时,20(S/R)-Rg3失去C3位的1分子葡萄糖转化为20(S/R)-Rh2,C20位羟基再进一步脱水生成了Rk2和Rh3.此外,人参皂苷C20位所连的糖种类与构型影响了降解产物中各稀有皂苷的组成与比例,但7种原人参二醇型人参皂苷密闭式微波降解产物中Rg5含量均为最高.密闭式微波降解对原三醇型人参皂苷的转化作用与原二醇型人参皂苷具有相似的规律,人参皂苷Re和Rg1的密闭式微波降解产物中Rh4含量均为最高.本文结果进一步说明在相同的降解条件下,密闭式微波降解法的降解效率远高于高温高压非微波降解法,密闭式微波降解可明显促进常见人参皂苷向稀有人参皂苷转化,因此采用密闭微波技术对常见人参皂苷进行降解可以大量获得稀有人参皂苷.     

人参属中药腐解化感作用研究进展

人参、西洋参和三七为人参属近缘物种,形态和化学成分相似,均具有连作障碍的特性。人参属中药连作后,土壤环境逐渐变得不适宜其生长,植株长势变弱易患病,导致生长发育受到抑制,出现严重的根腐病、须根脱落,甚至植株死亡现象。而造成人参属连作障碍的主要原因之一是化感物质的自毒作用,人参残体降解物作为人参化感物质主要来源之一,会导致种子发芽率下降,种苗死亡率升高、根腐病等病害加重,最终造成连作障碍。在人参属中药连作过程中,通过化感物质与土壤交流,也会直接或间接影响土壤理化性质的变化。对人参属中药腐解化感作用的研究进展以及腐解对土壤成分的影响进行综述,以期为人参属中药腐解化感作用及土壤利用的相关研究提供借鉴。     

纳升电喷雾萃取电离质谱快速测定人参皂苷

人参皂苷与环糊精包合物的研究进展

人参皂苷是从人参、西洋参和三七中提取的主要活性成分,其药效价值相当高,但因其在水中几乎不溶,生物利用度极低,因此极大的限制了其在临床上的应用.环糊精具有独特的性质,其"腔内疏水、腔外亲水",可以选择性的包合人参皂苷等客体分子.环糊精与人参皂苷形成包合物后可以改变客体分子的某些物理化学性能,如水溶性、稳定性以及光学性质等,以此来提高其生物利用度.     

Research Progress on the Continuous Cropping Obstacles of Ginseng from Soil Improvement北大核心CSCD

The unique black soil resources and natural environment of Jilin province provide the proper conditions for the growth of ginseng-the king of herb. Ginseng industry has effectively promoted the development of medical and health industry，and brought considerable economic income for ginseng farmers. However，long-term continuous cropping of ginseng causes the chemical，biological，and physical properties deterioration of soil，which influences the yield and the quanlity of ginseng，and results in the occurrence of replant obstacle. Identifying the malignant soil factors in continuous cropping obstacles，then analyzing the evolution process，and putting forward the improvement strategies is the primary task of ginseng research at present. This paper reviews the influence of ginseng cultivation on the physicochemical property，nutrient， enzyme activity，microecology and ecotoxicity of the soil，and the achievements of improving ginseng soil by chemical and biological techniques and methods in recent 10 years. © 2022, Science Press (China).

Metabolomics approach to growth-age discrimination in mountain-cultivated ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Mountain-cultivated ginseng is typically harvested after 10 years, while ginseng aged over 15 years is considered wild ginseng. This study aims to differentiate mountain-cultivated ginseng by age, as the fraudulent practice of selling low-aged cultivated ginseng disguised as high-aged one is damaging the market. In this study, LC-MS analyzed 98 ginseng samples, and multivariate statistical analysis identified patterns between samples to select influential components. Machine learning models were developed to identify ginseng samples of different ages. The untargeted metabolomic analysis clearly divided samples aged 4-20 years into three age groups. Twenty-two potential age-dependent biomarkers were discovered to differentiate the three sample groups. Three machine learning models were used to predict new samples, and the optimal model was selected. Some biomarkers could determine age phases according to the differentiation of mountain-cultivated ginseng samples. These biomarkers were thoroughly analyzed for variation trends. The machine learning models established using the screened biomarkers successfully predicted the age group of new samples.     

Neuroprotective Effect and Antioxidant Potency of Fermented Cultured Wild Ginseng Root Extracts of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer in Mice

Wild ginseng has better pharmacological effects than cultivated ginseng. However, its industrialization is limited by the inability to grow wild ginseng on a large scale. Herein, we demonstrate how to optimize ginseng production through cultivation, and how to enhance the concentrations of specific ginsenosides through fermentation. In the study, we also evaluated the ability of fermented cultured wild ginseng root extract (HLJG0701-β) to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), as well as its neuroprotective effects and antioxidant activity. In in vitro tests, HLJG0701-β inhibited AChE activity and exerted neuroprotective and antioxidant effects (showing increased catalyst activity but decreased reactive oxygen species concentration). In in vivo tests, after HLJG0701-β was orally administered at doses of 0, 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg in an animal model of memory impairment, behavioral evaluation (Morris water maze test and Y-maze task test) was performed. The levels of AChE, acetylcholine (ACh), blood catalase (CAT), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in brain tissues were measured. The results showed that HLJG0701-β produced the best results at a dose of 250 mg/kg or more. The neuroprotective mechanism of HLJG0701-β was determined to involve the inhibition of AChE activity and a decrease in oxidative stress. In summary, both in vitro and in vivo tests confirmed that HJG0701-β administration can lead to memory improvement.     

Classification of cultivation area of ginseng by near infrared spectroscopy and ICP-AES

A rapid and nondestructive near infrared (NIR) method using soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) for the classification of cultivation area (Korea and China) was evaluated and confirmed. Raw, first, and second derivative NIR spectra were compared to develop a robust classification rule. The chemical properties of ginseng samples were also investigated to find out the differences between Korean samples and Chinese samples. These differences make NIR spectroscopic method viable. The average value of each Korean and Chinese ginseng sample for crude fiber, crude protein, starch, and 10 inorganic constituents were measured and compared with F-test and t-test. The inorganic constituents were also measured by induced coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). It could be found that the amount of starch and ten inorganic elements for example Na, Mg, P, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn in ginseng samples are considerably different based on cultivation area. SIMCA has been applied to the inorganic data to investigate the possibility of ICP-AES as classification tool. However, it was observed that the result was not equal to than NIR spectra data. The overall results showed the availability of NIR method using SIMCA would be adequate for classification of cultivation of ginseng, since NIR spectra includes useful and various information on chemical properties in spite of broad and overlapped bands.     

Production of antioxidant compounds by culture of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer hairy roots

Ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) hairy root cultures, established by infecting ginseng root discs with Agrobacterium rhizogenes, were used for secondary metabolite production. In this study, several elicitors [salicylic acid (SA), acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), yeast elicitor, and bacterial elicitor] were used to improve the productivity of useful metabolite in P. ginseng hairy root cultures. In SA elicitation, total ginseng saponin content increased slightly at lower elicitor dosages (0.1 to 0.5 mM). Also, the use of ASA as an elicitor resulted in the inhibition of biomass growth and an increase in total ginseng saponin content at every elicitor dosage (0.1 to 1.0 mM) by about 1.1 times. With yeast elicitor addition, hairy root growth was inhibited about 0.8-fold on a dry weight basis compared to the control, but total ginseng saponin content increased by about 1.17 times when compared to the control. The bacterial elicitor showed a slight inhibition of biomass growth, but total ginseng saponin content increased by about 1.23 times upon the addition of 1 mL.

Determination of volatile organic compounds generated from fresh, white and red Panax ginseng (C. A. Meyer) using a direct sample injection technique

Ginsenosides are regarded as the main active, non-volatile components of Panax ginseng (C. A. Meyer). However, throughout the long history of ginseng research, there has been virtually no report describing its volatile flavor compounds. A solvent-free procedure for the determination of volatile flavor compounds generated from fresh, white and red Panax ginseng (C. A. Meyer) using solvent-free solid injection (SFSI) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) detection is described here. At no point in the SFSI technique were the extraction conditions optimized. Rather, the experimental variables including various sample preparations (fresh, oven-dried and freeze-dried), injector temperatures (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 degrees C), and preheating times (3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 min), were predicated on the experience of the authors. A total of 47 compounds were identified in various forms of ginseng. Among the compounds identified in the sample, fresh ginseng was characterized by a high proportion of 3-acetyl-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-ethyl-4,5-dihydro-7,8-dimethoxy-4-methylene-3H-2,3-benzodiazepine (64.24%) and 23,24-dinor-3-oxolean-4,12-dien-28-oic acid (21.42%); 2-furanmethanol (20.26%) and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (17.95%) were detected as the major components in white ginseng while the main components of the red ginseng were found to be 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid dibutyl ester (16.27%) and 2-furanmethanol (13.82%). SFSI is a solvent-free, rapid and simple sample preparation technique based on direct vaporization. There is no dilution or contamination with solvent or its impurities and no loss of quickly eluted components was observed in the solvent peak.     

Determination of ginsenosides in Panax ginseng roots by liquid chromatography with evaporative light-scattering detection

A liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the determination of ginsenosides in Panax ginseng roots by using evaporative light-scattering detection. Eighteen ginsenosides were separated on a reversed-phase C18 column with water-ammonium acetate-acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The method is suitable for the routine determination of ginsenosides in P. ginseng roots and extracts. The validation of the method was comprehensive for efficiency and recovery optimization of the P. ginseng roots extraction, specificity by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, linearity, stability, reproducibility, repeatability, intermediate precision, and robustness.     

Pesticide multiresidue analysis in Panax ginseng (C. A. Meyer) by solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography with electron capture and nitrogen-phosphorus detection

An analytical multi-residue method using gas chromatography coupled with electron capture and a nitrogen-phosphorus detector was investigated for the simultaneous determination of 18 commonly used insecticides and fungicides in Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer). Samples were previously extracted with an acetonitrile and cleaned up by solid-phase extraction (SPE). The calibration curves were linear, with determination coefficients higher than 0.989. Recoveries at concentrations between 0.01 and 14.9 ppm ranged from 72.3 to 117.2%, with precision, which was expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD), at values lower than 5%. The proposed method was applied to the determination of pesticide levels from 12 ginseng samples, taken from four different agricultural areas of Jeonnam province, where several insecticides and fungicides were applied. Except in one sample, tolclofos-m was the only pesticide contained at a level lower than the maximum residue limits (MRL) authorized by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) in real ginseng samples grown for 4, 5 and 6 years.
