Nebulosides A–B,novel triterpene saponins from under-ground parts of Gypsophila arrostii Guss. var. nebulosa

A bioassay-guided phytochemical analysis of the triterpene saponins from under ground parts of Gypsophila arrostii var. nebulosa allowed the isolation of two triterpene saponins; nebuloside A, B based on gypsogenin and quillaic acid aglycone. Two new oleanane type triterpenoid saponins (nebuloside A, B) and three known saponins (1–3) were isolated from the root bark of Gypsophila arrostii var. nebulosa. The structures of the two new compounds were elucidated as 3-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)]-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl quillaic acid 28-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)]-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-fucopyranosyl ester (nebuloside A) and 3-O-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-[β-d-galactopyranosyl(1→3)-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl gypsogenin 28-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)]-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-fucopyranosyl ester (nebuloside B), on the basis of extensive spectral analysis and chemical evidence.

Their structures were determined by spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR, IR, and HR-TOF-MS) and chemical methods. The catechins and flavonoidal glycosides exhibited yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) inhibitory activities in the range of IC(50) 8.0-70.3μM, and radical scavenging activities in the range of IC(50) 1.5-43.8 μM, measured by using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical.     

Quantification of acetaminophen (paracetamol) in human plasma and urine by stable isotope-dilution GC-MS and GC-MS/MS as pentafluorobenzyl ether derivative

We report on the quantitative determination of acetaminophen (paracetamol; NAPAP-d(0)) in human plasma and urine by GC-MS and GC-MS/MS in the electron-capture negative-ion chemical ionization (ECNICI) mode after derivatization with pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) bromide (PFB-Br). Commercially available tetradeuterated acetaminophen (NAPAP-d(4)) was used as the internal standard. NAPAP-d(0) and NAPAP-d(4) were extracted from 100-μL aliquots of plasma and urine with 300 μL ethyl acetate (EA) by vortexing (60s). After centrifugation the EA phase was collected, the solvent was removed under a stream of nitrogen gas, and the residue was reconstituted in acetonitrile (MeCN, 100 μL). PFB-Br (10 μL, 30 vol% in MeCN) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (10 μL) were added and the mixture was incubated for 60 min at 30 °C. Then, solvents and reagents were removed under nitrogen and the residue was taken up with 1000 μL of toluene, from which 1-μL aliquots were injected in the splitless mode. GC-MS quantification was performed by selected-ion monitoring ions due to [M-PFB](-) and [M-PFB-H](-), m/z 150 and m/z 149 for NAPAP-d(0) and m/z 154 and m/z 153 for NAPAP-d(4), respectively. GC-MS/MS quantification was performed by selected-reaction monitoring the transition m/z 150 → m/z 107 and m/z 149 → m/z 134 for NAPAP-d(0) and m/z 154 → m/z 111 and m/z 153 → m/z 138 for NAPAP-d(4). The method was validated for human plasma (range, 0-130 μM NAPAP-d(0)) and urine (range, 0-1300 μM NAPAP-d(0)). Accuracy (recovery, %) ranged between 89 and 119%, and imprecision (RSD, %) was below 19% in these matrices and ranges. A close correlation (r>0.999) was found between the concentrations measured by GC-MS and GC-MS/MS. By this method, acetaminophen can be reliably quantified in small plasma and urine sample volumes (e.g., 10 μL). The analytical performance of the method makes it especially useful in pediatrics.     

Structure of Ovarian Asterosaponin-4, an Inhibitor of Spontaneous Oocyte Maturation from the Starfish Asterias amurensis

The ovary of the starfish Asterias amurensis contains various kinds of steroidal saponins. The structure of one of the major saponins, designated ovarian asterosaponin-4, was elucidated by several chemical modifications and spectroscopic analyses. The structure was formulated as 20α -hydroxy-6 α -O-{6-deoxy-β -D-glucopyranosyl(1→2)- β -D-glucopyranosyl(1→4)-[6-deoxy- β -D-glucopyranosyl (1→2)]- β -D-xylopyranosyl(1→3)-6-deoxy->β-D-gluco-pyranosyl}-3β-sulfo-oxy-5α -cholesta-9(11), 24-diene. Ovarian asterosaponin-4 at 125μg/ml inhibited spontaneous oocyte maturation of the starfish, and the inhibition could be overcome by adding 1 × 10?6M of 1-methyladenine, the maturation-inducing substance of the starfishes, to the oocyte.     

Paviosides A-H, eight new oleane type saponins from Aesculus pavia with cytotoxic activity

A phytochemical analysis of Aesculus pavia has led to the isolation of eight novel triterpenoid saponins, based on oleane type skeleton and named paviosides A-H (1a, 1b-4a, 4b). On the basis of chemical, and 2D NMR and mass spectrometry data, the structures of the new compounds were elucidated as 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 2)] [-β-d-glucopyranosyl (1 → 4)]-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid 21-tigloyl-22-acetyl barringtogenol C (1a), 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 2)] [-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1 → 4)]-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid 21-angeloyl-22-acetyl barringtogenol C (1b), 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 2)] [-β-D-galactopyranosyl (1 → 4)]-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid 21-tigloyl-22-acetyl barringtogenol C (2a), 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 2)] [-β-D-galactopyranosyl (1 → 4)]-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid 21-angeloyl-22-acetyl barringtogenol C (2b), 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 2)] [-β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 4)]-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid 21-tigloyl-22-acetyl barringtogenol C (3a), 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 2)] [-β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 4)]-β-d-glucopyranosiduronic acid 21-angeloyl-22-acetyl barringtogenol C (3b), 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 2)] [-β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 4)]-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid 21-tigloyl-22-acetyl protoaescigenin (4a), and 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 2)] [-β-D-xylopyranosyl (1 → 4)]-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid 21-angeloyl-22-acetyl protoaescigenin (4b). The compounds showed cytotoxic activity on J-774, murine monocyte/macrophage, and WEHI-164, murine fibrosarcoma, cell lines. Among them, paviosides E-H (3a, 3b and 4a, 4b) showed higher activity with values ranging from 2.1 to 3.6 μg/mL. Structure-activity relationship studies indicated the positive effect on the activity of xylose unit in the place of glucose, while a little detrimental effect is observed when glucose is substituted by galactose. The aglycone structure and the presence of a tigloyl or an angeloyl group at C-21 do not affect significantly the inhibitory activity on both tested cell lines.

Triterpenoid saponins from the aerial parts of Trifolium argutum Sol. and their phytotoxic evaluation

Four triterpenoid saponins (1–4) were isolated from the aerial parts of Trifolium argutum Sol. (sharp-tooth clover) and their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR techniques, mass spectrometry and chemical methods. Two of them are new compounds, characterized as 3-O-[α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl]-3β,24-dihydroxyolean-12-ene-22-oxo-29-oic acid (1) and 3-O-[β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl]-3β,24-dihydroxyolean-12-ene-22-oxo-29-oic acid (2). The occurrence of 3β,24-dihydroxyolean-12-ene-22-oxo-29-oic acid (melilotigenin) in its natural form is reported for the first time as a triterpenoid aglycone within Trifolium species. The phytotoxicity of compounds was evaluated on four STS at concentration 1 μM to 333 μM. Compound 1 was the most active, showing more than 60% inhibition on the root growth of L. sativa at the higher dose, with IC₅₀ (254.1 μM) lower than that of Logran^® (492.6 μM), a commercial herbicide used as positive control. The structure–activity relationships indicated that both aglycones and glycosidic parts may influence the phytotoxicity of saponins.     

青杨脊虎天牛对植物源挥发物的EAG和行为反应

测定了青杨脊虎天牛Xylotrechus rusticus （L.）雌、雄成虫对其寄主杨树中的水杨醛（0.95 μmol/μL）和非寄主植物中0.3 μmol/μL的叶绿醇、0.4 μmol/μL的水芹烯和0.6 μmol/μL的 R 型α-蒎烯、S 型α-蒎烯、S型β-蒎烯、3-蒈烯、罗勒烯、香草烯和松节油等10种植物挥发性气味物质的触角电位（EAG）反应。结果表明,与对照相比,这10种植物挥发物多能引起成虫明显的EAG反应( P<0.05,P<0.01 ),其中雌虫对松节油、水杨醛、R 型α-蒎烯和 S 型α-蒎烯的EAG反应较强; 雄虫对 R 型α-蒎烯的EAG反应最强,松节油次之。根据雌虫对这10种挥发物EAG反应的强弱,进一步测定了雌虫对0.00006、0.0006、0.006、0.06、0.6、0.12 μmol/μL的松节油、R 型α-蒎烯、S 型α-蒎烯以及0.000095、0.00095、0.0095、0.095、0.95、0.19 μmol/μL的水杨醛的EAG和行为反应。结果表明,雌虫对松节油、水杨醛和 R 型α-蒎烯的EAG反应随气味物质浓度的增加而增加,水杨醛浓度增加到0.95 μmol/μL、松节油和 R 型α-蒎烯浓度增加到0.6 μmol/μL以后,EAG反应值趋于平稳;对 S 型α-蒎烯的反应随浓度的增加而呈线性增加。水杨醛浓度低于0.095时,对雌虫没有明显的定向作用( P>0.05 ),高于此浓度时表现为驱避作用( P<0.05 ); 松节油在浓度低于或等于0.6 μmol/μL时对雌虫表现为驱避作用,浓度为0.6时驱避效果最佳（ P<0.01 ）。雌虫对 R 型α-蒎烯和 S 型α-蒎烯没有明显的定向行为反应。
