分光光度法测定当归补血汤及其组分单味药提取液的抗氧化能力

对复方当归补血汤及其组成单味药即当归和黄芪的水提取液,以及两者的单味药的水提取液及乙醇提取液的抗氧化能力作了比较研究。将由Fenton反应产生的羟自由基在pH4.6乙酸盐缓冲溶液与水杨酸反应,生成紫红色的2,3-二羟基苯甲酸,其吸收峰在510nm波长处。当有任一抗氧化组分存在于此反应体系时,由于其与反应体系中的羟自由基的优先反应,使此体系在510nm处的吸光度下降。据此,对上述药物提取液的抗氧化能力进行了试验。所得结果表明:上述药物的提取液均呈良好的抗氧化能力(即清除羟自由基的能力),而复方当归补血汤中主成分药物的提取液(无论是水或乙醇的提取液)的抗氧化能力均高于单味药物的提取液。比较水提取液与乙醇提取液的抗氧化能力的结果表明,前者的效果更好。

Characterization of constituents in Sini decoction and rat plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry

A high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode‐array detection coupled to time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (HPLC/DAD/TOFMS) method was established to clarify the chemical composition of Sini decoction (SND) and rat plasma after oral administration of SND. With dynamic adjustment of fragmentor voltage in TOFMS, an efficient transmission of the ions was achieved to obtain the best sensitivity for providing the molecular formula for each analyte and abundant fragment ions for structural information. By accurate mass measurements within 5 ppm error for each molecular ion and subsequent fragment ions, 53 compounds including diterpenoid alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids and gingerol‐related compounds were identified in SND. Major compounds identified from SND were further assigned in the three individual herbs. After oral administration of SND, 33 compounds and five metabolites in rat plasma were detected and identified by comparing and contrasting the compounds measured in SND with those in the plasma samples by HPLC/DAD/TOFMS. The results provided helpful chemical information for further pharmacology and active mechanism research on SND. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

干姜中的二芳基庚烷类化合物及其在四逆汤煎煮过程中的立体选择性反应

采用高效液相色谱多级质谱联用鉴定了干姜水煎剂的18个二芳基庚烷类化合物。发现此类化合物的电喷雾质谱碰撞诱导裂解反应的特征主要表现在吡喃环的次级逆Diels Alder反应裂解或C1和C5OH发生次级麦氏重排裂解,这两种裂解反应对归属芳环的取代非常重要。比较了复方四逆汤配伍对二芳基庚烷类化合物的影响,从色谱保留行为、质谱数据等推测化合物2-(3,4-二羟基-5-甲氧基苯基)-6-(3,4-二羟基苯乙基)-2氢-吡喃-4-醇(Ⅲ-1)的一组差向异构体,2-(3,4-二羟基-5-甲氧基苯基)-6-(4-羟基苯乙基)-2氢-吡喃-4-醇(Ⅲ-2)的一组差向异构体以及2-(3,4-二羟基-5-甲氧基苯基)-6-(4-二羟基-3-甲氧基苯乙基)-2氢-吡喃-4-醇(Ⅲ-3)的2组差向异构体在复方煎煮过程中发生显著的立体选择性反应,由外消旋体变成单一旋光异构体。吡喃环4-位的乙酰化可能是减少这种反应的关键因素。

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopic analysis of Saposhnikovia divaricata decoction

ABSTRACT

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy was employed to analyze the biochemical composition of the Saposhnikovia divaricata decoction, which is a common traditional Chinese medicine. No reliable Raman peak was observed in traditional Raman spectra of Saposhnikovia divaricata decoction. However, 12 main Raman peaks (534, 616, 648, 685, 730, 781, 850, 958, 1242, 1319, 1460, and 1571 cm^?1) were observed in the surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy spectra from the mixture of silver colloids with Saposhnikovia divaricata decoction as a result of the silver colloid enhanced effects on the Raman scattering of Saposhnikovia divaricata decoction. The results demonstrated that the surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy may provide a new kind of non-destructive, accurate, direct, and fast detecting method for the Saposhnikovia divaricata decoction or other traditional Chinese medicine in the form of decoction.     

In vivo metabolism study of rhubarb decoction in rat using high-performance liquid chromatography with UV photodiode-array and mass-spectrometric detection: a strategy for systematic analysis of metabolites from traditional Chinese medicines in biological samples

High-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) and tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was used for separation and identification of metabolites in rat urine, bile and plasma after oral administration of rhubarb decoction. Based on the proposed strategy, 91 of the 113 potential metabolites were tentatively identified or characterized. Besides anthraquinones metabolites, gallic acid, (-)-epicatechin and (+)-catechin metabolites were also detected and characterized in these biological samples. Our results indicated that glucuronidation and sulfation were the main metabolic pathways of anthraquinones, while methylation, glucuronidation and sulfation were the main metabolic pathways of gallic acid, (-)-epicatechin and (+)-catechin. Phase I reactions (e.g., hydroxylation and reduction) played a relatively minor role compared to phase II reactions in metabolism of phenolic compounds of rhubarb decoction. The identification and structure elucidation of these metabolites provided essential data for further pharmacological and clinical studies of rhubarb and related preparations. Moreover, the results of the present investigations clearly indicated the relevance and usefulness of the combination of chromatographic, spectrophotometric, and mass-spectrometric analysis to detect and identify metabolites.
