昆仑雪菊中黄酮类化合物提取与纯化

用超声法提取昆仑雪菊中黄酮类化合物,通过大孔树脂对提取液进行纯化,纯化物经聚酰胺层析柱梯度洗脱得到初步分离物,通过颜色反应和紫外光谱扫描进行定性分析。设计正交实验得到超声法提取的最佳工艺条件是65%乙醇、料液比为1∶40、超声时间60 min,此条件下提取3次,总黄酮得率可达132.6 mg/g。通过聚酰胺柱层析法分离出五个组分,初步判断它们属于不同的黄酮类物质。超声法提取总黄酮,提取率较高,聚酰胺树脂对黄酮类化合物的分离效果较好。     

铜掺杂二氧化硅用于雪菊中木犀草苷的富集及近红外光谱分析

用制备的铜掺杂二氧化硅作为吸附剂, 富集雪菊提取液中的木犀草苷, 测量富集有目标组分吸附剂的近红外光谱, 所得光谱经预 处理后, 用偏最小二乘法建立木犀草苷的定量校正模型并进行验证. 结果表明： 当铜掺杂二氧化硅的用量为0.25 g、 常温振荡20 min时, 对木犀草苷吸附率达89.7%; 雪菊提取液中的木犀草苷经吸附剂富集后, 无需脱附可直接检测; 所得近红外光谱经多元散射校正结合一阶导数预处理后, 木犀草苷校正模型的预测质量浓度和参考质量浓度间的相关系数为0.975 0, 交叉验证均方根误差为0.959 8 mg/L, 木犀草苷在1.5~19.5 mg/L的较低质量浓度范围内, 预测集的回收率可达82.6%~111.4%.     

Extraction and Fractionation of Prokinetic Phytochemicals from Chrozophora tinctoria and Their Bioactivities

Chrozophora tinctoria is an annual plant of the family Euphorbiaceae, traditionally used as a laxative, a cathartic and an emetic. A methanolic extract of Chrozophora tinctoria (MEC) whole plant and an n-butanol fraction of Chrozophora tinctoria (NBFC) were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to detect the phytochemicals. MEC and NBFC were tested for in vitro anti acetylcholinesterase (AChE) potential. The effect of both samples on intestinal propulsive movement and spasmolytic activity in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) was also studied. About twelve compounds in MEC and three compounds in NBFC were tentatively identified through GC-MS. Some of them are compounds with known therapeutic activity, such as toluene; imipramine; undecane; 14-methyl-pentadecanoic acid methyl ester; and hexadecanoic acid. Both NBFC and MEC samples were checked for acute toxicity and were found to be highly toxic in a dose-dependent manner, causing diarrhea and emesis at 1 g/kg concentration in pigeons, with the highest lethargy and mortality above 3 g/kg. Both the samples of Chrozophora tinctoria revealed significant (p ≤ 0.01) laxative activity against metronidazole (7 mg/kg) and loperamide hydrochloride (4 mg/kg)-induced constipation. NBFC (81.18 ± 2.5%) and MEC (68.28 ± 2.4%) significantly increased charcoal meal intestinal transit compared to distal water (41.15 ± 4.3%). NBFC exhibited a significant relaxant effect (EC₅₀ = 3.40 ± 0.20 mg/mL) in spontaneous rabbit jejunum as compared to MEC (EC₅₀ = 4.34 ± 0.68 mg/kg). Similarly, the impact of NBFC on KCl-induced contraction was more significant than that of MEC (EC₅₀ values of 7.22 ± 0.06 mg/mL and 7.47 ± 0.57 mg/mL, respectively). The present study scientifically validates the folk use of Chrozophora tinctoria in the management of gastrointestinal diseases such as constipation. Further work is needed to isolate the phytochemicals that act as diarrheal agents in Chrozophora tinctoria.
