Approach to the study of flavone di‐C‐glycosides by high performance liquid chromatography‐tandem ion trap mass spectrometry and its application to characterization of flavonoid composition in Viola yedoensis

The mass spectrometric (MS) analysis of flavone di‐C‐glycosides has been a difficult task due to pure standards being unavailable commercially and to that the reported relative intensities of some diagnostic ions varied with MS instruments. In this study, five flavone di‐C‐glycoside standards from Viola yedoensis have been systematically studied by high performance liquid chromatography‐electrospray ionization‐tandem ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC‐ESI‐IT‐MSⁿ) in the negative ion mode to analyze their fragmentation patterns. A new MS² and MS³ hierarchical fragmentation for the identification of the sugar nature (hexoses or pentoses) at C‐6 and C‐8 is presented based on previously established rules of fragmentation. Here, for the first time, we report that the MS² and MS³ structure‐diagnostic fragments about the glycosylation types and positions are highly dependent on the configuration of the sugars at C‐6 and C‐8. The base peak (^0,2X₁^0,2X₂^? ion) in MS³ spectra of di‐C‐glycosides could be used as a diagnostic ion for flavone aglycones. These newly proposed fragmentation behaviors have been successfully applied to the characterization of flavone di‐C‐glycosides found in V. yedoensis. A total of 35 flavonoid glycosides, including 1 flavone mono‐C‐hexoside, 2 flavone 6,8‐di‐C‐hexosides, 11 flavone 6,8‐di‐C‐pentosides, 13 flavone 6,8‐C‐hexosyl‐C‐pentosides, 5 acetylated flavone C‐glycosides and 3 flavonol O‐glycosides, were identified or tentatively identified on the base of their UV profiles, MS and MSⁿ (n = 5) data, or by comparing with reference substances. Among these, the acetylated flavone C‐glycosides were reported from V. yedoensis for the first time. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Iridoid,phenylethanoid and flavonoid glycosides from Forsythia suspensa

Abstract

As part of our continuing efforts to explore bioactive compounds from natural resources, a new iridoid glycoside, adoxosidic acid-6′-oleuroperic ester (1), together with one known phenylethanoid glycoside (2) and two known flavonoid glycosides (3–4) were isolated from the fruit of Forsythia suspensa. The structure of the new compound (1) was elucidated through 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data and HR-ESIMS. Interestingly, compound 1 was a monoterpene ester of one iridoid glycoside. Compounds 2–4 were identified as calceolarioside A (2), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (3), kampferol-3-O-robinobioside (4) on the basis of NMR spectroscopic data analyses and comparison with the data reported in the literature. The antiviral activity aganisist influenza A (H5N1) virus of compound 1 was studied as well.     

Acylated flavonoid glycosides from Barringtonia racemosa

Abstract

Using various chromatographic separations, three new acylated flavonoid glycosides, namely barringosides G–I (1–3), were isolated from the water-soluble extract of Barringtonia racemosa branches and leaves. The structure elucidation was performed by extensive analysis of the 1D and 2D NMR and HR-QTOF-MS data. Of the isolated compounds, barringoside I (3) showed moderate inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 cells with an IC₅₀ of 52.48?±?1.04?µM.     

Benzophenone glycosides from the pericarps of Aquilaria yunnanensis S. C. Huang

Abstract

Two new benzophenone glycosides, aquilarisides A (1) and B (2), together with six known analogues (3-8) were isolated from the pericarps of Aquilaria yunnanensis S. C. Huang. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR and mass spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configuration of compound 1 was determined by experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Anti-inflammatory activities of all compounds 1–8 were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells using the Griess assay. Compound 2 indicated a weak inhibition of NO production.     

Triterpene glycosides from the Vietnamese sea cucumber Holothuria edulis

Abstract

From the MeOH extract of the Vietnamese sea cucumber Holothuria edulis, eight triterpene glycosides (1–8), including one new compound namely holothurin A₅ (1), were isolated by using various chromatographic separations. Their structures were established by spectroscopic experiments including 1D, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS. Holothurin A₅ (1) has a hydroperoxy group at C-25. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this group in triterpene saponins obtained from sea cucumbers to date. In addition, the in vitro cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines (HepG2, KB, LNCaP, MCF7 and SK-Mel2) of all isolated compounds was also evaluated using SRB assays.     

Flavonoids from the leaves of Epimedium Koreanum Nakai and their potential cytotoxic activities

Abstract

Phytochemical studies on the leaves of Epimedium koreanum Nakai have resulted in the discovery of two new flavonol glycosides, koreanoside F (1) and koreanoside G (2), along with six known flavonoids. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of HRESIMS, UV, IR, 1?D NMR and 2?D NMR data. Absolute configurations of 1 and 2 was further determined by ¹³C-NMR spectra with gate decoupling (GD). All of the compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activities by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay. The results indicated that compounds 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 inhibited the proliferation of A549 and NCI-292 cells with IC₅₀ values of 5.7–23.5?μM. Real-time monitoring in three kinds of lung cancer cells and a kind of human bronchial epithelial cells treated with compound 6 was also assessed.
