基于毛细管电泳的黄芪抗氧化生物指纹图谱研究

根据评价抗氧化剂清除自由基能力的间接化学发光法,结合具有高效分离能力的毛细管电泳技术,建立了能表征中药抗氧化活性的生物指纹图谱。选取中药黄芪为研究对象,以黄芪甲苷为参照物峰,确定了6个共有峰,并首次测得黄芪甲苷对羟自由基的清除率。各共有峰相对迁移时间的RSD<1.5%,相对自由基清除率的RSD<8.4%,表明方法的精密度和重复性较好。7个产地的黄芪药材与道地药材具有良好的抗氧化活性相似度,相似度>96.5%。抗氧化生物指纹图谱对天然产物的质量控制与临床研究具有指导意义。     

4种黄酮小分子对DPPH自由基的清除作用及构效关系研究

通过紫外可见光谱测定了4种黄酮小分子芦丁、牡荆素、山奈素、金丝桃苷对DPPH自由基的清除率、稳定性及半抑制浓度(IC50),并以常用的天然抗氧化剂抗坏血酸作为对照,考察了其抗氧化效果,探讨了黄酮类化合物的抗氧化性与结构的关系。结果表明：不同的抗氧化剂清除DPPH自由基达到平衡的时间不同,芦丁所需时间最长。4种黄酮小分子及抗坏血酸均对DPPH自由基有清除效果,并存在一定的量效关系。对DPPH自由基的清除能力从大到小依次为金丝桃苷、抗坏血酸、芦丁、山奈素、牡荆素。结构分析表明,B环邻二酚羟基是黄酮类化合物抗氧化所必需的基团,其羟甲基化及A环羟基糖苷化不利于黄酮类化合物的抗氧化活性。而C环3-OH的糖苷化对抗氧化活性有利,且单糖苷优于双糖苷。

蒲公英黄酮抗氧化活性的构效关系分析

蒲公英作为传统的中药材,具有抗氧化、抗肿瘤、抗菌、抗炎等多种药用价值。黄酮是蒲公英发挥抗氧化作用的重要活性成分。蒲公英黄酮抗氧化性能的实验研究备受关注,然而从分子水平对蒲公英黄酮结构与抗氧化活性之间的内在关系缺乏系统的研究。本文借助于密度泛函理论,针对蒲公英中5种重要的黄酮化合物(槲皮素、芦丁、木犀草素、芹菜素、香叶木素),通过优化结构参数、捕获DPPH自由基的热力学能量分析,NBO电荷分布、半醌自由基的自旋密度分析等方面深入探讨了蒲公英黄酮化合物抗氧化活性的构效关系及内在规律。结果表明：5种蒲公英黄酮化合物抗氧化活性为芦丁>槲皮素>木犀草素>>香叶木素>芹菜素,酚羟基的位置是影响蒲公英黄酮抗氧化活性差异的主要因素。蒲公英黄酮不同位点抗氧化活性的高低与其酚羟基上H原子的电荷分布、黄酮自由基的稳定性成正比关系,自由基单电子的离域程度和分子内氢键的稳定化作用共同决定了B环4’-OH是蒲公英黄酮的关键活性位点。

Key role of chemical hardness to compare 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging power of flavone and flavonol O-glycoside and C-glycoside derivatives

The antioxidant activities of flavonoids and their glycosides were measured with the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH radical, DPPH(·)) scavenging method. The results show that free hydroxyl flavonoids are not necessarily more active than O-glycoside. Quercetin and kaempferol showed higher activity than apigenin. The C- and O-glycosides of flavonoids generally showed higher radical scavenging activity than aglycones; however, kaempferol C3-O-glycoside (astragalin) showed higher activity than kaempferol. In the radical scavenging activity of flavonoids, it was expected that OH substitutions at C3 and C5 and catechol substitution at C2 of B ring and intramolecular hydrogen bonding between OH at C5 and ketone at C3 would increase the activity; however, the reasons have yet to be clarified. We here show that the radical scavenging activities of flavonoids are controlled by their absolute hardness (η) and absolute electronegativity (χ) as a electronic state. Kaempferol and quercetin provide high radical scavenging activity since (i) OH substitutions at C3 and C5 strikingly decrease η of flavones, (ii) OH substitutions at C3 and C7 decrease χ and η of flavones, and (iii) phenol or o-catechol substitution at C2 of B ring decrease χ of flavones. The coordinate r(χ,?η) as the electron state must be small to increase the radical scavenging activity of flavonoids. The results show that chemically soft kaempferol and quercetin have higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than chemically hard genistein and daidzein.     

Polyphenol contents and antioxidant activity of Brassica nigra (L.) Koch. leaf extract

Profound research has been done on the medicinal value of Brassica nigra (BN) seeds, and the leaves of the plant have been investigated in this study. The methanol extracts of the leaves were subjected to several in?vitro studies. The antioxidant activity of methanol extract was demonstrated with a wide range of concentration, 10-500?μg?mL(-1), and the antioxidant activity increased with the increase in concentration. Total phenol content was found to be 171.73?±?5.043 gallic acid equivalents and the total flavonoid content 7.45?±?0.0945 quercetin equivalents. Further quantification and identification of the compounds were done by HPTLC and GC-MS analyses. The predominant phenolic compounds determined by HPTLC were gallic acid, followed by quercetin, ferulic acid, caffeic acid and rutin. The free radical quenching property of BN leaf extract suggests the presence of bioactive natural compounds.     

Kinetic evaluation of the reactivity of flavonoids as radical scavengers

The reactivity of flavonoids as radical scavengers was investigated under kinetic considerations using radical polymerization of methyl methacrylates initiated by benzoyl peroxide. The number of radicals which are trapped by each molecule of phenol (the stoichiometric factors, n values) decreased in the order of epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (ECG) (5.5) > catechin (3.5) > resveratrol (2.4) > quercetin (1.9) > n-propylgallate (1.5) > hesperetin (1.0). The inhibition rate constants (k(inh)) (1-3 x 10(3) 1/(mol s)) for the flavonoids were not different from each other, and, therefore, the radical scavenging activity depend on n values. The n values of the fully oxidized flavonoids were estimated from the frontier orbital theory, using PM3 semiempirical molecular orbital calculation. The experimental n values were consistent with the calculated values.     

Relationship between effects of phenolic compounds on the generation of free radicals from lactoperoxidase-catalyzed oxidation of NAD(P)H or GSH and their DPPH scavenging ability

The influence of various phenolic compounds on the lactoperoxidase (LPO)/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-catalyzed oxidation of biochemical reductants such as reduced beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reduced beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) or reduced glutathione (GSH) was investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Micromolar quantities of phenolic compounds such as 17beta-estradiol, phenol, and p-chlorophenol enhanced the LPO/H2O2-catalyzed oxidation of NAD(P)H or GSH to generate a large amount of superoxide radical (O2*-) or glutathione thiyl radical (GS*), while, phenolic compounds such as quercetin and Trolox C greatly suppressed the generation of O2*- and GS*. In order to elucidate the effects of phenolic compounds on the generation of O2*- and GS*, their quenching activities for a stable radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), were investigated by ESR spectroscopy. 17beta-Estradiol, phenol, and p-chlorophenol showed very weak scavenging activities for DPPH, but quercetin and Trolox C showed strong activities. This suggests that the ability of phenolic compounds to enhance LPO/H2O2-catalyzed oxidation of NAD(P)H or GSH relates inversely to their ability to quench DPPH. That is, phenolic compounds having weak quenching activity against DPPH may enhance the LPO/H2O2-catalyzed oxidation of NAD(P)H or GSH to generate a large amount of O2*- or GS*.     

Computer‐aided design and synthesis of magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers with high selectivity for the removal of phenol from water

A molecular simulation method was introduced to compute the phenol–monomer pre‐assembled system of a molecularly imprinted polymer. The interaction type and intensity between phenol and monomer were evaluated by combining binding energy and charge transfer with complex conformation. The simulation results indicate that interaction energies are simultaneously affected by the type of monomer and the ratio between phenol and monomers. At the same time, we considered that by increasing the amount of functional monomer is not always better for preparing molecularly imprinter polymers. In this study, three kinds of novel magnetic phenol‐imprinted polymers with favorable specific adsorption effects were prepared by the surface imprinting technique combined with atom transfer radical polymerization. Various measures were selected to characterize the structure and morphology to obtain the optimal polymer. The characterization results show that the optimal polymer has suitable features for further adsorption process. A series of static adsorption experiments were conducted to analyze its adsorption performance, which follows the Elovich model from the kinetic analysis and the Sips equation from the isothermal analysis. To further verify the reliability and accuracy of the simulation results, the effects of different monomers on the adsorption selectivity were also determined. They display higher selectivity towards phenol than 4‐nitrophenol.The results from the simulation of the pre‐assembled complexes are in reasonable agreement with those from the experiment.     

Estimation of cholinesterase inhibitory and antioxidant effects of the leaf extracts of Anatolian Ficus carica var. domestica and their total phenol and flavonoid contents

Ficus carica var. domestica Tsch. & Rav. (common fig) is widely grown in Turkey and exported for its edible fruits. In this study, the n-hexane, chloroform, acetone, methanol, n-butanol, and water extracts of the leaves of F. carica var. domestica were screened for their cholinesterase inhibitory and antioxidant activities. Cholinesterase inhibition against acetyl- (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) was measured by the spectrophotometric method of Ellman at concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 microg/mL., while antioxidant activity was tested using three in vitro methods; 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, metal-chelation capacity, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Total phenol and flavonoid contents of the extracts were determined spectrophotometrically. Our results revealed that the n-hexane and acetone extracts exerted a notable inhibition against both AChE (62.9 +/- 0.9% and 50.8 +/- 2.1%, respectively) and BChE (76.9 +/- 2.2% and 45.6 +/- 1.3%, respectively). However, they had low activity in the antioxidant tests. The chloroform extract was found to be the richest in total flavonoid content (252.5 +/- 1.1 mg/g quercetin equivalent), while the n-butanol extract had the highest total phenol amount (85.9 +/- 3.2 mg/g extract gallic acid equivalent).     

Kinetic evaluation of the reactivity of flavonoids as radical scavengers

The reactivity of flavonoids as radical scavengers was investigated under kinetic considerations using radical polymerization of methyl methacrylates initiated by benzoyl peroxide. The number of radicals which are trapped by each molecule of phenol (the stoichiometric factors, n values) decreased in the order of epigallocatechin-3- O -gallate (ECG) (5.5) > catechin (3.5) > resveratrol (2.4) > quercetin (1.9)> n -propylgallate (1.5) > hesperetin (1.0). The inhibition rate constants ( k inh ) (1-3 ‐ 10 3 l/(mol s)) for the flavonoids were not different from each other, and, therefore, the radical scavenging activity depend on n values. The n values of the fully oxidized flavonoids were estimated from the frontier orbital theory, using PM3 semiempirical molecular orbital calculation. The experimental n values were consistent with the calculated values.     

Synthesis,Antiproliferative Activity and Radical Scavenging Ability of 5-O-Acyl Derivatives of Quercetin

Quercetin is a flavonoid that is found in many plant materials, including commonly eaten fruits and vegetables. The compound is well known for its wide range of biological activities. In this study, 5-O-acyl derivatives of quercetin were synthesised and assessed for their antiproliferative activity against the HCT116 colon cancer and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines; and their radical scavenging activity against the 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical species. Four derivatives were found to have improved the antiproliferative activity compared to quercetin whilst retaining radical scavenging activity.     

Extraordinary radical scavengers: 4-mercaptostilbenes

In the past decade, there was a great deal of interest and excitement in developing more active antioxidants and cancer chemoprevention agents than resveratrol, a naturally occurring stilbene. In this work, eight resveratrol-directed 4-mercaptostilbenes were constructed based on the inspiration that thiophenol should be a stronger radical scavenger than phenol, and their reaction rates with galvinoxyl (GO(.)) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH(.)) radicals in methanol and ethyl acetate were measured by using stopped-flow UV/Vis spectroscopy at 25?°C. Kinetic analysis demonstrates that 4-mercaptostilbenes are extraordinary radical scavengers, and the substitution of the 4-SH group for the 4-OH group in the stilbene scaffold is an important strategy to improve the radical-scavenging activity of resveratrol. Surprisingly, in methanol, some of the 4-mercaptostilbenes are 10(4)-times more active than resveratrol, dozens of times to hundreds of times more effective than known antioxidants (α-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, quercetin, and trolox). The detailed radical-scavenging mechanisms were discussed based on acidified-kinetic analysis. Addition of acetic acid remarkably reduced the GO(.) and DPPH(.) radical-scavenging rates of the 4-mercaptostilbenes in methanol, a solvent that supports ionization, suggesting that the reactions proceed mainly through a sequential proton loss electron transfer mechanism. In contrast, an interesting acid-promoted kinetics was observed for the reactions of the 4-mercaptostilbenes with DPPH(.) in ethyl acetate, a solvent that weakly supports ionization. The increased ratio in rates is closely correlated with the electron-rich environment in the molecules, suggesting that the acceleration could benefit from the contribution of the electron transfer from the 4-mercaptostilbenes and DPPH(.). However, the addition of acetic acid had no influence on the GO(.)-scavenging rates of the 4-mercaptostilbenes in ethyl acetate, due to the occurrence of the direct hydrogen atom transfer. Our results show that the radical-scavenging activity and mechanisms of 4-mercaptostilbenes depends significantly on the molecular structure and acidity, the nature of the attacking radical, and the ionizing capacity of the solvent.     

Fast repair activities of quercetin and rutin toward dGMP hydroxyl radical adducts

The repair activities and mechanisms of both quercetin and rutin towards the oxidizing deoxyguanosine monophosphate (dGMP) hydroxyl radical adduct were investigated with pulse radiolytic technique. On pulse irradiation of nitrous oxide saturated 2 mM dGMP aqueous solution containing 0.1 mM quercetin, the transient absorption spectrum of the dGMP hydroxyl radical adduct decays with the formation of phenoxyl radical of quercetin within tens of microseconds. It indicates that there is a repair reaction between dGMP hydroxyl radical adduct and quercetin. The repair activity of rutin towards hydroxyl radical adducts of dGMP was also observed. The rate constants of the repair reactions were calculated to be 3.05×10⁸ and 1.31×10⁸ M⁻¹ s⁻¹ for quercetin and rutin, respectively. This result together with our previous studies demonstrated that non-enzymatic, fast repair is a universal repair mechanism of phenolic antioxidants.
