光照对淫羊藿活性成分生物合成的影响

淫羊藿作为传统的中药材,具有补肾阳、强筋骨、祛风湿等功效.其主要功能活性成分为黄酮醇苷成分淫羊藿苷、朝藿定A、B、C等.本实验在武汉植物园内的药园和园外园两个不同生长环境下,研究两种不同光照对巫山淫羊藿(Epimedium wushanense T.S.Ying)WY品系和箭叶淫羊藿(Epimedium sagittatum( Sieb.& Zucc.)Maxim.) LT1、HN3品系4种主要活性成分生物合成的影响.结果显示,在药园环境生长的淫羊藿的光合速率要高于园外园生长的淫羊藿,药园生长的箭叶淫羊藿LT1、HN3品系的4种活性成分含量均高于园外园生长的同品系,而巫山淫羊藿WY品系则相反.光合速率对4种活性成分含量的积累有一定影响,与朝藿定A、B和淫羊藿苷含量呈显著正相关,与朝藿定C含量呈显著负相关.文中对光合速率与活性成分积累间的关系进行了讨论,还针对不同的淫羊藿品系提出了相应的栽培建议.

H-M.地上部分分离得到3个甾体皂甙,经光谱测定和化学降解证明其化学结构分别为:偏诺皂甙元3O-α-L-鼠李吡喃糖基(1→2)〔α-L-鼠李吡喃糖基(1→4))-β-D-葡萄吡喃糖甙(A);孕甾-5,16-二烯-3β-醇-20-酮,3β-O-α-L-鼠李吡喃糖基(1→2)〔α-L-鼠李吡喃糖基(1→4)〕-β-D-葡萄吡喃糖甙(B);孕甾-5,16-二烯-3β-醇-20-酮,3β-O-α-L-鼠李吡喃糖基(1→2)〔α-L-鼠李吡喃糖基(1→4)-α-L-鼠李吡喃糖基(1→4)〕-β-D-葡萄吡喃糖甙(C)。甙A、B和C在滇重楼根中尚未发现,甙C系首次从重楼属植物中获得,而甙A具有止血的活性。     

梯度洗脱法同时快速分离测定不同品种不同部位淫羊藿中7种异戊烯基黄酮类成分的研究

建立一种同时快速分离测定不同品种、不同部位淫羊藿中双藿苷A、淫羊藿属苷A、朝藿定C、淫羊藿苷、淫羊藿属苷C、意卡瑞苷A和去多甲基羟基淫羊藿素7种异戊烯基黄酮类成分的梯度洗脱方法,其中双藿苷A、意卡瑞苷A和去多甲基羟基淫羊藿素为首次报道其含量测定。实验比较了三种不同的梯度洗脱条件和三种不同的提取分离条件,选出了实验的最佳条件:采用RP-HPLC法,以美国WATERS SUNFIRETM-C18为色谱柱,乙腈-水为流动相,梯度洗脱(乙腈:0 min,20%;10 min,40%;15 min,45%;20 min,60%),流速为1 mL/min,检测波长270 nm,在此条件下,30 m in内所有组分均得到了良好的分离。实验同时考察比较了巫山淫羊藿植株不同药材部位和其它十种不同品种淫羊藿中7种异戊烯基黄酮类成分的分布。结果表明:不同品种淫羊藿中黄酮类成分的含量差异很大,但大部分品种以朝藿定C为主;同一品种巫山淫羊藿不同部位中则双藿苷A和朝藿定C的含量较大(在巫山淫羊藿根中,两者的含量分别为现行质量控制指标淫羊藿苷的20倍和30倍),可见巫山淫羊藿显著不同于其它品种的淫羊藿,朝藿定C在其药用效果中可能比淫羊藿苷扮演着更重要的角色尤其是在根部作为药用时,这也为民间将巫山淫羊藿根作为小黄连使用提供了一定的实验支持。结论:对于品种较多,分布资源较广的淫羊藿药材,作为药用时,应注意品种和药用部位,考察药材的内在质量,不能一概而论。实验所得到的方法能被用做淫羊藿植株中二次代谢产物分布的快速考察、筛选符合要求的淫羊藿原药材和淫羊藿制备药物中的质量考察。

Taxonomic, genetic, chemical and estrogenic characteristics of Epimedium species

To understand the factors contributing to estrogenic properties of extracts from the genus Epimedium L. (Berberidaceae), we performed taxonomic, genetic and chemical characterization on 37 specimens from 18 species and related these to estrogen receptor (ERalpha and ERbeta) bioactivity, as measured by reporter genes in stable human cells. Boot strap values derived from amplified fragment length polymorphisms indicated that specimens of E. koreanum, E. brevicornum, E. myrianthum, E. leishanense, and E. membranaceum were genetically distinct and this was supported by their very similar ERalpha activities. In contrast, specimens from E. pubescens and E. sagittatum were diverse both genetically, chemically and in terms of ERalpha and ERbeta bioactivities. Strikingly, a genetic cluster comprising six rare Epimedium species exhibited strongest ERalpha and ERbeta activity, and this bioactivity was positively correlated with content of trace flavonoid aglycones (kaempferol, apigenin, quercetin, luteolin and breviflavone B). In contrast, there was no association between estrogenic activity and the major flavonol glycoside constituents (icariin and epimedin A-C). Although they exhibited equally strong ERalpha and ERbeta activity, E. koreanum can be clearly differentiated from E. pubescens and E. brevicornum by genetic distance and its significantly lower content of epimedin C. Our morphologic, genetic, chemical and bioactivity profiling provide the basis for the production of extracts with reproducible estrogenic properties. Such reproducibility will be critical for the standardization of Epimedium-based products.     

盐胁迫对两种淫羊藿属植物生长及各器官总黄酮含量的影响

采用不同浓度NaCl(0、100、200、300和500 mmol/L)的Hoagland's培养液处理两种淫羊藿属植物--淫羊藿、箭叶淫羊藿幼苗,处理30 d后分别测定其株高、叶表面积、干物质生物量以及根、茎、叶的总黄酮含量,以明确淫羊藿属两种药用植物的抗盐特性.结果显示:(1)盐胁迫对淫羊藿和箭叶淫羊藿的生长均有影响,随着NaCl处理浓度的增加,淫羊藿、箭叶淫羊藿的株高和叶表面积均逐渐显著减小;各器官干物质生物量逐渐降低,但淫羊藿的干物质下降量较小(不显著),且同一处理下淫羊藿的生物量明显小于箭叶淫羊藿.(2)随着NaCl胁迫浓度的增加,除淫羊藿茎的总黄酮含量一直呈下降趋势外,淫羊藿根、叶和箭叶淫羊藿根、茎、叶均呈现在低浓度范围内总黄酮含量增加,且箭叶淫羊藿的含量高于淫羊藿;而在高浓度盐胁迫下,其总黄酮含量均呈下降的趋势,且淫羊藿的含量高于箭叶淫羊藿.研究表明,淫羊藿的抗盐性明显高于箭叶淫羊藿,适于高盐土壤环境种植,但在低盐环境条件下,种植箭叶淫羊藿可显著提高总黄酮产量并提高经济效益.     

High-performance liquid chromatography-based multivariate analysis to predict the estrogenic activity of an Epimedium koreanum extract

This study characterizes the correlation between the chemical fingerprint and estrogenic activity of an Epimedium koreanum extract. The estrogenic activity of 31 E. koreanum extract samples was evaluated by a luciferase reporter gene assay, and the samples were classified into 3 groups based on their bioactivity. A chemical fingerprint analysis was performed on each sample by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and 44 common peaks were selected from the chromatogram and used as a dataset for a pattern recognition analysis. A canonical discriminant analysis performed on this dataset determined a distinct distribution of the samples according to their estrogenic activity on the scoring plot. The classification results showed that 90.3% of the original grouped cases had been correctly classified. The total content of the 4 major extract compounds, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and icariin, exhibited good correlation (r=0.784) with the estrogenic activities of the respective extracts. This chromatographic fingerprint-chemometric analysis system could be useful for predicting the E. koreanum pharmacological activity and consequent biological activity-relevant quality control assessment.     

Systematic Quality Evaluation of Epimedium wushanense T. S. Ying Based on Two Quality Control Standards: Total Flavonoid Glycosides and Epimedin C

Two quality control standards, total flavonoid glycosides of Epimedii Folium and epimedin C of Epimedii Wushanensis Folium, were used to systematically evaluate the quality of Epimedium wushanense T. S. Ying, so as to provide reference for its germplasm screening and resource utilization. Seven representative populations of E. wushanense covering its main distribution areas were uniformly sampled during the flowering period. There were significant quality differences among the populations of E. wushanense. According to the quality standard of total flavonoid glycosides, all populations were superior to the quality standard of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia for Epimedii Folium, with more than 1.5 % total flavonoid glycosides. The variation ranges of epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, icariin and total flavonoid glycosides were 0.40–0.76 %, 0.51–0.83 %, 1.70–9.31 %, 0.40–1.23 % and 3.05–10.61 %, respectively. According to the quality standard of epimedin C, all populations were better than the quality standard of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia for Epimedii Wushanensis Folium, with more than 1.0 % epimedin C. The variation range of epimedin C was 2.22–10.06 %. When comparing the results of the two methods, a trend of slightly lower mean values was found for total flavonoid glycosides, except for the HBXW population. The quality of E. wushanense was superior to both the quality standard of Epimedii Folium and Epimedii Wushanense Folium in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Epimedin C was the most abundant component. Among the investigated populations, HBXW and HBGK exhibited the highest quality, and may provide excellent genetic resources for standardized cultivation. In addition, the habitat of these populations can also serve a reference for cultivation conditions.     

Prenylflavonol, acylated flavonol glycosides and related compounds from Epimedium sagittatum

Chemical examination of the n-BuOH extract from the aerial parts of Epimedium sagittatum led to isolation of three prenylated flavonol glycosides sagittasine A-C, two acylated flavonol glycosides kaempferol-3-O-(2'-E-p-coumaroyl,4'-Z-p-coumaroyl)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranoside and kaempferol-3-O-(3'-Z-p-coumaroyl,4'-E-p-coumaroyl)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranoside, together with known flavonoids, flavonolignans, 2-phenoxychromones, a lignan, and aromatic acid derivatives. Flavonolignans were identified for the first time in this plant. The vasorelaxing properties of the n-BuOH extract of E. sagittatum and 13 isolated compounds were tested using pre-contracted rat aorta rings in an organ bath apparatus. The results indicated that the n-BuOH extract of E. sagittatum produced a partial endothelial nitric oxide-dependent vasorelaxation, with EC(50) of 0.16+/-0.03 mg/ml. However, the 13 compounds tested, generated only a mild or moderate relaxation, and did not possess significant vasorelaxing effect individually.     

Characteristics of the Ramet Population of Epimedium brevicornum and Analysis of Spatial Point Pattern for E. brevicornum and E. sagittatum

Epimedium brevicornum was sampled from Jinchengshan , a mountain of Nanchong , Sichuan province at altitudes of 560m, 653 m and 774m respectively for investigation of its ramet population variation. The results showed that the ramet population density decreased remarkably and its ratio of root to shoot increased with increasing elevation e. g, at 774 m the ratio of root to shoot was significantly higher than that at 560 m . The spatial distribution pattern of E . brevicornum at three different altitudes and E. sagittatum at the altitude 771 m were also investigated respectively with Congregation index (m*􊄯m) 、Clump index (I)、Cassie index (CA)、Dispersal index (C) and spatial point pattern analysis . The results revealed that the populations of E. brevicornum was clumped at all of the spatial scales , whereas the population of E. sagittatum was randomly distributed at the small spatial scales, and was clumped at the most spatial scales which ranged from 0. 1 m to 5 m . Finally , we discussed the protection of E . brevicornum and E. sagittatum and advantage to use point pattern analysis in the investigation of the spatial pattern of herb plant .     

湖北3种药用淫羊藿植物等位酶多样性与居群遗传结构

采用超薄平板微型聚丙烯酰胺等电聚焦电泳方法对湖北3种淫羊藿属（Epimedium L．）药用植物：柔毛淫羊藿（E．pubescens Maxim．）、箭叶淫羊藿（Esagittatum（Sieb．＆Zucc．）Maxim．）和巫山淫羊藿（Ewushanense T.S．Ying）的11个自然居群进行了等位酶种内遗传多样性和居群遗传结构以及种间遗传关系的研究。6个酶系统在3种淫羊藿植物中检测到13个酶位点共45个等位基因,分析结果表明：1）3种淫羊藿均具有较高的遗传多样性水平（A=2．6-3．2,P=69．2％-84．6％,Ho=0．274-0．377,HE=0．282-0．369）,远高于多年生草本植物和依靠动物传粉植物的平均水平;2）所有居群都显著偏离Hardy—Weinberg平衡,大多数多态位点固定指数（F）明显偏离于0且正负值各半,暗示该属植物可能具有复杂的繁育系统;3）种内和种间的遗传分化度均较低,分别为GST=0．0246-0．0409和0．0495-0．1213,表明种内居群间存在较高的基因流和种间较近的遗传关系;4）聚类分析表明柔毛淫羊藿与箭叶淫羊藿的亲缘关系更近,这与形态学特征、花瓣演化趋势及系统发育分析等方面的研究的结果相吻合。讨论分析认为3种淫羊藿植物的遗传变异特性是由淫羊藿属植物异交与克隆繁殖的混合繁育系统、多年生的生活特性、古老的进化历史和种子的蚁播特性等多因素共同决定的。     

Osteoblastic proliferative activity of Epimedium brevicornum Maxim.

The effect of the extracts of Epimedium brevicornum Maxim. was investigated on proliferative activity in vitro. The osteoblast-like UMR106 cells was employed as an osteoblast model. The EtOH extract and the n-butanol fraction from the crude extract were found to show proliferation stimulating activity. Three flavonoid compounds (icariin, epimedin B and epimedin C) were isolated from this fraction by activity-guided assay, and the effects on cell proliferation were studied. Icariin produced the most significant promoting effect on the proliferation in osteoblast-like UMR106 cells. The results suggested that E. brevicornum Maxim. extracts might have potential activity against osteoporosis, and flavonoids such as icariin might be the active constituents stimulating osteoblasts.
