The Synergistic Mechanism of Total Saponins and Flavonoids in Notoginseng–Safflower against Myocardial Infarction Using a Comprehensive Metabolomics Strategy

Notoginseng and safflower are commonly used traditional Chinese medicines for benefiting qi and activating blood circulation. A previous study by our group showed that the compatibility of the effective components of total saponins of notoginseng (NS) and total flavonoids of safflower (SF), named NS–SF, had a preventive effect on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. However, the therapeutic effect on MI and the synergistic mechanism of NS–SF are still unclear. Therefore, integrated metabolomics, combined with immunohistochemistry and other pharmacological methods, was used to systematically research the therapeutic effect of NS–SF on MI rats and the synergistic mechanism of NS and SF. Compared to NS and SF, the results demonstrated that NS–SF exhibited a significantly better role in ameliorating myocardial damage, apoptosis, easing oxidative stress and anti-inflammation. NS–SF showed a more significant regulatory effect on metabolites involved in sphingolipid metabolism, glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism, primary bile acid biosynthesis, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, and tricarboxylic acid cycle, such as sphingosine, lysophosphatidylcholine (18:0), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (22:5/0:0), chenodeoxycholic acid, L-valine, glycine, and succinate, than NS or SF alone, indicating that NS and SF produced a synergistic effect on the treatment of MI. This study will provide a theoretical basis for the clinical development of NS–SF.     

Bioconversion of red ginseng saponins in the gastro-intestinal tract in vitro model studied by high-performance liquid chromatography–high resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry

A high-performance liquid chromatography–high resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (HPLC–FTICR-MS) method was developed to investigate the metabolism of ginsenosides in in vitro models of the gastro-intestinal tract. The metabolites were identified by high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry. Degradation and bioconversion routes of the different ginsenosides at acidic (gastric) conditions and in the presence of intestinal microbiota were elaborated. Besides hydrolysis (deglycosylation) also hydration reactions occurred at acidic conditions. The results illustrate the value of metabolite profiling by HPLC–FTICR-MS for understanding of the mechanisms in bioavailability of herbal drugs and their metabolites.

Robust design space development for HPLC analysis of five chemical components in Panax notoginseng saponins

The present work describes the systematic development of a robust, precise, and rapid reversed-phase liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous analysis of five chemical components in Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) using quality by design (QbD). The method was developed in two main phases: screening and optimization. During the screening phase, the most suitable stationary phase, column temperature, and flow rate were identified, while the secondary influential parameters, such as the gradient slope, the initial concentration of acetonitrile, and the initial isocratic hold of the gradient elution system were fine-tuned in the later optimization phase. In this phase, a 17-run experiment was used to examine multifactorial effects of these parameters on the critical resolution, analysis time, and peak symmetry. The Monte Carlo simulation method was successfully used to build the chromatographic design space and the process capability index C_p was introduced to evaluate the robustness of the design space. At last, the verification experiment was performed within the working design space by the accuracy profile methodology and model was found to be accurate. A robust combination of separation conditions predicted in the design space was obtained with the gradient slope of 1.6% · min^?1, the initial concentration of acetonitrile of 20%, and the initial isocratic hold of 20 min, and the total analysis time was no more than 40 min. The results demonstrated that rapid separation of five components of PNS herbal extract could be achieved on the chromatographic column packed with narrow size particles at backpressures available in ordinary high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instruments.

On-line coupling of macroporous resin column chromatography with direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry utilizing a surface flowing mode sample holder

A surface flowing mode sample holder was designed as an alternative sampling strategy for direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry (DART-MS). With the sample holder, the on-line coupling of macroporous resin column chromatography with DART-MS was explored and the new system was employed to monitor the column chromatography elution process of Panax notoginseng. The effluent from macroporous resin column was first diluted and mixed with a derivatization reagent on-line, and the mixture was then directly transferred into the ionization region of DART-MS by the sample holder. Notoginsenosides were methylated and ionized in a metastable helium gas stream, and was introduced into MS for detection. The on-line system showed reasonable repeatability with a relative standard deviation of 12.3% for the peak area. Three notoginsenosides, i.e. notoginsenoside R₁, ginsenoside Rb₁ and ginsenoside Rg₁, were simultaneously determined during the eluting process. The alteration of the chemical composition in the effluent was accurately identified in 9 min, agreeing well with the off-line analysis. The presented technique is more convenient compared to the traditional UPLC method. These results suggest that the surface flowing mode DART-MS has a good potential for the on-line process monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry.

Complete assignment of 1H and 13C NMR data for nine protopanaxatriol glycosides

Nine protopanaxatriol glycosides isolated from mild acid hydrolysis products of crude root saponins of Panax notoginseng were identified as 20(R)‐ginsenoside‐Rh1, 20(S)‐ginsenoside‐Rh1, ginsenoside‐Rg1, ‐Re and ‐Rg2, notoginsenoside‐R2 and ‐R1, a mixture of 25‐hydroxy‐20(S)‐ginsenoside‐Rh1 and its C‐20 (R) epimer, ginsenoside‐Rh4. The complete assignments of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for these glycosides were obtained by means of 2D NMR techniques, including ¹H–¹H COSY, ROESY, HMQC, HMBC and HMQC‐TOCSY spectra. The glycosylation shift effect of protopanaxatriol and the differences in chemical shifts between 20(R)‐ and 20(S)‐protopanaxatriol isomers are also discussed. Except for ginsenoside‐Re and ‐Rg2, complete NMR assignments of the other seven glycosides are reported for the first time. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
