Species discrimination of Radix Bupleuri through the simultaneous determination of ten saikosaponins by high performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detection and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

A simple, rapid and robust high performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD) method was established for the species discrimination and quality evaluation of Radix Bupleuri through the simultaneous determination of ten saikosaponins, namely saikosaponin-a, -b(1), -b(2), -b(3), -b(4), -c, -d, -g, -h, and -i. These compounds were chromatographed on an Ascentis(?) Express C18 column with a gradient elution of acetonitrile and water containing 0.1% acetic acid at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Saikosaponins were monitored by ELSD, which was operated at a 50°C drift tube temperature and 3.0 bar nebulizer gas (N(2)) pressure. The developed method was validated with respect to linearity, intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision, limit of quantification (LOQ), recovery, robustness and stability, thereby showing good precision and accuracy, with intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation less than 15% at all concentrations. Furthermore, a high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) method was developed to certify the existence of ten saikosaponins, as well as to confirm the reliability of ELSD. The extraction conditions of saikosaponins from Radix Bupleuri were also optimized by investigating the effect of extraction methods (sonication, reflux and maceration) and various solvents on the extraction efficiencies for saikosaponins. Sonication with 70% methanol for 40 min was found to be simple and effective for extraction of major saikosaponins. This analytical method was applied to determine saikosaponin profiles in 20 real samples consisting of four Bupleurum species, namely B. falcatum, B. chinense, B. sibiricum and the poisonous B. longiradiatum. It was found that three major saikosaponin-a, -c and -d were the major constituents in B. falcatum, B. chinense, and B. longiradiatum, while one major saikosaponin (saikosaponin-c) was not identified from B. sibiricum. In addition, no saikosaponin-b(3) was detected in B. longiradiatum samples, indicating that the toxic B. longiradiatum may be tentatively distinguished from officially listed Bupleurum species (B. falcatum and B. chinense) based on their saikosaponin profiles. Overall the simultaneous determination of ten saikosaponins in Radix Bupleuri was shown to be a promising tool to adopt for the discrimination and quality control of closely related Bupleurum species.     

Localization and dynamic change of saikosaponin in root of Bupleurum chinense

Anatomical,histochemlcal and phytochemical methods were used to investigate the structure,the localization and content changes of total saikosaponin and saikosaponin-a of the roots of Bupleurum chinense DC.at different developmental stages.Results showed that saikosaponin was mainly distributed in pericycle and primary phloem in the young root;but In the mature root,it was mainly distributed in vascular camblum and secondary phloem.During the whole growth period from the pre-blossom,blossom,fruit,and fruit mature periods until the pre-withering period,it was in the fruit mature period that both the total saikosaponin content and the saikosaponin-a content reached the highest level.So the last 20 d of October was considered as the right collecting season for the drug of B.chinense.In addition,the quality of 1-year-old drug was better than that of 2-year-old drug due to its higher saikosaponin content.On the other hand,judging from the external characteristics of the drug,the one with an acerose taproot and more lateral roots was of better quality.The results offered theoretical bases for selecting medicinal material of high quality and determining the most appropriate harvesting stage and part of B.chinense.     

Saikosaponin accumulation and antioxidative protection in drought-stressed Bupleurum chinense DC. plants

Dried root of Bupleurum spp. is one of the most popular ingredients in many oriental medicinal preparations. Potted Bupleurum chinense DC. seedlings were subjected to progressive drought stress by withholding irrigation followed by a rewatering phase. The changes in antioxidant system, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), superoxide radicals (O₂^?), and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents as well as saikosaponin a (SSa) and saikosaponin d (SSd) content in B. chinense roots were investigated. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of the roots extract was evaluated. The results showed that B. chinense root appeared highly resistant to water deficit. Both SSa and SSd content increased with the progressive water deficit, however, decreased under severe drought conditions or after water recovery. Moderate drought treatment resulted in 83% increase in SSa content and 22% increase in SSd content compared to the well-hydrated treatment. And increased SSa and SSd content during drought were accompanied by enhanced O₂^? content and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity until severe drought stress. Notably, in vitra antioxidant tests demonstrated that the lipid peroxidation inhibition capacity was positively correlated with the content of SSa and SSd, particularly significant at p = 0.05 with SSd content. These results suggest that B. chinense roots exhibit effective antioxidative protection mechanism to withstand drought stress. And it could be speculated that drought-induced SSa and SSd accumulation in B. chinense roots may be stimulated via active oxygen species, and consequently involve in mitigating the oxidative damage due to its high anti-lipid peroxidation capacity.     

ITS sequence analysis used for molecular identification of the Bupleurum species from northwestern China

Radix Bupleuri (Chaihu), a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine, is derived from the dried roots of Bupleurum chinense DC. and B. scorzonerifolium Willd. But nowadays, other nine species and varieties from genus Bupleurum are also used as Radix Bupleuri in northwestern China. The authentic identification of dried roots of B. chinense and B. scorzonerifolium, however, is difficult to just base on the appearance and morphology. A molecular genetic method was developed to help discriminate the original species of Radix Bupleuri. The ITS sequences ( approximately 600 bp) were amplified by the PCR technique from genomic DNA isolated from all the collected samples. According to analyzing the information given by ITS sequences, the conclusion can be made that ITS sequence could serve as markers for authentication of Radix Bupleuri.     

Saikosaponin C induces endothelial cells growth, migration and capillary tube formation

Saikosaponin C is one of the saikosaponins that are consisted in a Chinese herb, Radix Bupleuri. Recently, saikosaponins have been reported to have properties of cell growth inhibition, inducing cancer cells differentiation and apoptosis. However, saikosaponin C had no correlation with cell growth inhibition. In this study, we investigated the role of saikosaponin C on the growth of endothelial cells and angiogenesis. We found that saikosaponin C yielded a potent effect on inducing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) viability and growth. In addition to inducing endothelial cells growth, saikosaponin C also induced endothelial cells migration and capillary tube formation. The gene expression or activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK, ERK) that correlated with endothelial cells growth, migration and angiogenesis were also induced by saikosaponin C. From these results, we suggest that saikosaponin C may have the potential for therapeutic angiogenesis but is not suitable for cancer therapy.     

Visual detection of saikosaponins by on-membrane immunoassay and estimation of traditional Chinese medicines containing Bupleuri radix

The purpose of this study was to describe the simple, rapid, and environmental-cost effective determination method for saikosaponins in complicated samples like Bupleuri radix and traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). Saikosaponin standards, extracts of Bupleuri radix and TCM, were applied to a polyethersulphone (PES) membrane and developed by acetonitrile-water (1:4, by volume). Saikosaponin a (SSa), SSc, and SSd were visually detected by an immunostaining method (called Eastern blotting technique) using a monoclonal antibody (MAb) against SSa. At least 62.5 ng of SSa, SSc, and SSd were clearly detectable individually. These coloring spot areas of saikosaponins on PES membrane were calculated by using the NIH Imaging software and three saikosaponins can be analyzed quantitatively between 62.5 ng and 1.0 microg. Saikosaponins in Bupleuri radix and TCM were determined and these results of SSa and total saikosaponin concentrations were in good agreement with those from the ELISA analysis.     

Two New Species of the Genus Bupleurum (Umbelliferae) from China

Bupleurum is a genus largely distributed in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In China 36 species, 17 varieties and 7 forms have hitherto been reported and most of them are used as Chinese traditional drugs under the name of Chai-Hu. Chai-Hu is one of the most popular drugs used ever since the ancient time and is prescribed principally in the treatment of fevers and influenza. In this article, the authors report two new species, B. kunmingense Y. Li et S. L. Pan and B. polyclonum Y. Li et S. L. Pan which were discovered in Yunnan Province based on morphological studies and preliminary phytochemical tests. The ultraviolet spectrums and thin layer chromatograms of the essential oil and the crude saikosaponins of the two new species are similar to those of B. chinense DC., the standard material medica of Chai-Hu. Moreover, two new saikosaponin spots located between saikosaponin a and c in TLC were discovered in the two new species, and this could be served as a chemical evidence for identification purpose. In the histochemistry examination, the reaction of saikosaponin with color developing agent in parenchyma of the roots of the two new species is obviously more significant than that of B. chinense DC. and this phenomenon has also been proved to be true by TLC of the crude saikosaponin extracts of these two new species. It is suggested that the two new species be used as a substitute ofhigh quality for Chai-Hu.
