靶细胞提取和高效液相飞行时间质谱联用分析预测丹参中的活性成分

建立靶细胞提取和与高效液相飞行时间质谱联用(HPLC-ESI/TOFMS)分析相结合进行丹参活性成分研究的方法,对丹参中可能的活性成分进行了推测。将靶细胞和丹参样品一起孵育培养,根据活性成分可以与靶细胞膜有特异性的结合或者进入靶细胞内的原理,用HPLC-MS方法对培养后细胞破碎液中的成分进行分析。从加药Raw264.7细胞和Ecv304细胞破碎液中检测到丹参素、原儿茶醛、咖啡酸、丹酚酸D、紫草酸、迷迭香酸及丹酚酸B7种丹参中成分,在加药的HL7702细胞破碎液中检测出丹参素、原儿茶醛、咖啡酸及丹酚酸B4种丹参中的水溶性成分。结果显示:细胞破碎液中检测的成分为丹参在靶细胞中有吸收的成分,本方法可用于预测中药中的活性成分。     

Linnaea borealis L. var. borealis—In Vitro Cultures and Phytochemical Screening as a Dual Strategy for Its Ex Situ Conservation and a Source of Bioactive Compounds of the Rare Species

Linnaea borealis L. (Twinflower)—a dwarf shrub in the Linnaeeae tribe of Caprifoliaceae family—is distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. By means of this study, a reliable protocol for efficient micropropagation of uniform L. borealis L. var. borealis plantlets has been provided for the first time; callus culture was also established. Different initial explants, types of cultures, media systems, and plant growth regulators in Murashige and Skoog (MS) media were tested. Agitated shoot cultures in the liquid media turned out to be the best system for the production of sustainable plant biomass. After stabilization of the callus lines, the highest growth index (c.a. 526%) was gained for callus maintained on MS enriched with picloram. TLC and UHPLC-HESI-HRMS analysis confirmed the presence of phenolic acids and flavonoids, and for the first time, the presence of iridoids and triterpenoid saponins in this species. Multiplication of L. borealis shoot culture provides renewable raw material, allowing for the assessment of the phytochemical profile, and, in the future, for the quantitative analyses and the studies of the biological activity of extracts, fractions, or isolated compounds. This is the first report on in vitro cultures of traditionally used L. borealis rare taxon and its biosynthetic potential.
