Separation of six xanthones from Swertia franchetiana by high‐speed countercurrent chromatography

In our present study, two groups of xanthones isomers (1‐hydroxy‐3,5,8‐trimethoxyxanthone and 1‐hydroxy‐3,7,8‐trimethoxyxanthone; 1,8‐dihydroxy‐3,7‐dimethoxyxanthone and 1,8‐dihydroxy‐3,5‐dimethanolxanthone) and other two xanthones (3‐methoxy‐1,5,8‐trihydroxyxanthone and 3,5‐dimethoxy‐1‐hydroxyxanthone) were separated from Swertia franchetiana . First, a solvent system composed of petroleum ether/methanol/water (2:1:0.6, v/v) was developed for the liquid–liquid extraction of these xanthones from the crude extract. Then, an efficient method was established for the one‐step separation of these six xanthones by high‐speed countercurrent chromatography using n‐hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/ethanol/water (HEMEW; 6:4:4:2:4, v/v) as the solvent system. The results showed that liquid–liquid extraction could be well developed for efficient enrichment of target compounds. Additionally, high‐speed countercurrent chromatography could be a powerful technology for separation xanthones isomers. It was found ethanol could be a good methanol substitute when the HEMEW system could not provide good separation factors.

Swerilactones E-G, three unusual lactones from Swertia mileensis

Swerilactones E (1), F (2), and G (3), three unusual lactones with a phenyl group, were isolated from the traditional Chinese herb of Swertia mileensis. Their structures were determined based on extensive spectroscopic analysis and X-ray single crystal crystallography. Our anti-HBV assay on the Hep G 2.2.15 cell line in vitro showed that compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant inhibitory activities against the secretion of HBsAg with IC₅₀ of 0.22 and 0.70 mM and HBeAg with IC₅₀ of 0.52 and >6.78 mM, respectively.     

Crystal structure of 1,5,8-trihydroxyl-3-methoxy xanthone from Swertia chirayita

In order to study the relationship between biological and pharmacological activities with their structures, a series of tri-, tetra-oxygenated xanthones including 1-hydroxyl-2,3,4,7-tetramethoxy xanthone 1, 1-hydroxyl-2,3,4,5-tetramethoxyl xanthone 2, 1-hydroxyl-3,5-dimethoxy xanthone 3, 1,8-dihydroxyl-3,5-dimethoxyl xanthone 4, 1,5,8-trihydroxyl-3-methoxy xanthone 5 has been isolated from Swertia chirayita. Their structures were established on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence. The crystal structure of 5 was also investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P , with a = 7.1540(10) Å, b = 7.520(2) Å, c = 10.671(2) Å, V = 562.7(2) ų, = 86.50(3), = 80.06(3), = 85.00(3), Z = 2, D_c = 1.618 g m^–3, R_int = 0.0230, wR(F²) = 0.1028, F(000) = 284. The molecular structure is nearly plane and four substituents are much closer to the plane of the molecule. Compound 5 also shows three intermolecular hydrogen bonds. A recent study shows that phenolic hydroxyls in xanthones are the main active groups capable of scavenging OH and O₂.

Simultaneous determination of oleanolic acid,ursolic acid,quercetin and apigenin in Swertia mussotii Franch by capillary zone electrophoresis with running buffer modifier

The method of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with direct UV detection was developed for the determination of oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, quercetin and apigenin. and then for the first time successfully applied to the analysis of four analytes in Swertia mussotii Franch and its preparations. Various factors affecting the CZE procedure were investigated and optimized, and the optimal conditions were: 50 × 10^?3 mol/L borate‐phosphate buffer (pH 9.5) with 5.0 × 10^?3 mol/L β‐cyclodextrin, 15 kV separation voltage, 20 °C column temperature, 250 nm detection wavelength and 5 s electrokinetic injection time (voltage 20 psi). Under the conditions, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, quercetin and apigenin could be determined within the test ranges with a good correlation coefficient (r² > 0.9991). The limits of detection for conditions, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, quercetin and apigenin were 0.3415, 0.2003, 0.0062 and 0.2538 µg/mL, respectively, and the intra‐ and inter‐day relative standard deviations were no more than 4.72%. This procedure provided a convenient, sensitive and accurate method for simultaneous determination of oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, quercetin and apigenin in S. mussotii Franch.

Characterization of metabolites of sweroside in rat urine using ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization quadrupole time‐of‐flight tandem mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy

Sweroside, a major active iridoid in Swertia pseudochinensis Hara, is recognized as an effective agent in the treatment of liver injury. Based on previous reports, the relatively short half‐life (64 min) and poor bioavailability (approximately 0.31%) in rats suggested that not only sweroside itself but also its metabolites could be responsible for the observed hepato‐protective effect. However, few studies have been carried out on the metabolism of sweroside. Therefore, the present study aimed at identifying the metabolites of sweroside in rat urine after a single oral dose (100 mg/kg). With ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time‐of‐flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/Q‐TOF‐MS), the metabolic profile revealed 11 metabolites in rat urine, including phase I, phase II and aglycone‐related products. The chemical structures of metabolites were proposed based on accurate mass measurements of protonated or deprotonated molecules and their fragmentation patterns. Our findings showed that the aglycone of sweroside (M05) and its glucuronide conjugate (M06) were principal circulating metabolites in rats. While several other metabolic transformations, occurring via reduction, N‐heterocyclization and N‐acetylation after deglycosylation, were also observed. Two metabolites (M05 and M06) were isolated from the rat urine for structural elucidation and identifcation of reaction sites. Both M05 and M06 were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C and two‐dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. UHPLC/Q‐TOF‐MS analysis has provided an important analytical platform to gather metabolic profile of sweroside. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
