在模拟人体生理条件下,采用紫外光谱法、荧光光谱法和同步荧光光谱法研究五味子甲素及其金属离子复合物与血清白蛋白(SA)的结合作用。结果表明:五味子甲素与金属离子形成1∶1复合物;五味子甲素对SA的荧光猝灭机制为静态猝灭和非辐射能量转移;五味子甲素与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)和人血清白蛋白(HSA)的结合常数K、结合位点数n、结合距离r分别为3.58×104L·mol-1和6.42×103L·mol-1、0.944和0.993、2.18nm和1.63nm,其作用力以氢键和范德华力为主。同步荧光光谱法的结果表明:结合位点靠近色氨酸,并使色氨酸的疏水性减弱。共存金属离子对五味子甲素与SA的相互作用有一定的影响。

Screening vasoconstriction inhibitors from traditional Chinese medicines using a vascular smooth muscle/cell membrane chromatography-offline-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

We developed an analytical method for screening vasoconstriction inhibitors from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) by combining vascular smooth muscle/cell membrane chromatography (VSM/CMC) with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Primary cultured VSM cells from rat thoracic aortas were used for preparation of the stationary phase of the VSM/CMC column. Retention fractions from the VSM/CMC column were collected and then analyzed by LC-MS/MS under the optimized conditions offline. The suitability and reliability of the VSM/CMC-offline-LC-MS/MS method was assessed using nitrendipine and nifedipine as positive controls, and this method was then applied to screen vasodilator components from the extracts of Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis (FSC) and Fructus Schisandrae Sphenantherae (FSS). The major components from both species retained by VSM/CMC were identified as deoxyschizandrin (DSD) and schisantherin A (STA) by LC-MS/MS. Competition experiments indicated that DSD and nifedipine bound competitively to membrane receptors, while DSD and STA had partly overlapping binding sites on VSM-cell membranes. In vitro pharmacological trials confirmed that STA and DSD could dose-dependently relax the rat thoracic aortas pre-contracted by KCl. Our VSM/CMC-offline-LC-MS/MS method can be applied for screening vasoconstriction inhibitors from TCMs collected from FSC and FSS, and may be useful in the development of vasodilators from natural products.     

Cardiac Muscle/Cell Membrane Chromatography-Offline-Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Method to Identify Bioactive Components from Traditional Chinese Medicines

An offline analytical method combining cardiac muscle/cell membrane chromatography (CM/CMC) with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) to identify bioactive components from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) such as Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus (SCF) and Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus (SSF) was developed. The stationary phase of the CM/CMC system employed rat cardiac muscle cell membranes. Fractions retained by the CM/CMC column were collected and analyzed by LC/MS under optimum offline conditions. After evaluating the suitability and reliability of the CM/CMC-offline-LC/MS method using nifedipine and nitrendipine as standards, this method was applied for screening and identification of bioactive components from the extracts of SCF and SSF. The main compounds in both species retained by CM/CMC were deoxyschizandrin (DSD) and schisantherin A (STA) as identified by LC/MS. In vivo pharmacological experiments suggested that DSD and STA could significantly decrease the myocardial-infarct size in rats injured by myocardial ischemia–reperfusion. Our CM/CMC-offline-LC/MS method could be used as an effective alternative for screening multiple receptor-binding bioactive components in TCMs such as FSC and FSS used to remedy cardiac diseases and may be useful for drug discovery using medicinal herbs as lead compounds.     

南五味子中五味子甲素的薄层扫描色谱定量分析

南五味子是2000年中国药典开始收录的中药材。南五味子与北五味子的性状完全不同,所含化学成分亦不同,功能主治各有侧重。南五味子为木兰科植物华中五味子的干燥成熟果实,性味酸、甘、温,具有收敛固涩,益气生津,补肾宁心之功效。现代研究表明,南五味子的活性成分主要包括五味子甲素和五味子酯甲等木脂素成分。五味子甲素具有显著的功效,但药典仅有五味子酯甲的含量测定,未有五味子甲素的含量测定,相关研究报道也很少,因此有必要研究建立南五味子中五味子甲素含量测定方法。
