Blueberry fruits are known as a rich source of anthocyanin components. In this study we demonstrate that anthocyanins from blueberry have the potency to alleviate symptoms of hyperglycemia in diabetic C57b1/6J mice. The anti-diabetic activity of different anthocyanin-related extracts was evaluated using the pharmaceutically acceptable self-microemulsifying drug delivery system: Labrasol. Treatment by gavage (500 mg/kg body wt) with a phenolic-rich extract and an anthocyanin-enriched fraction formulated with Labrasol lowered elevated blood glucose levels by 33 and 51%, respectively. The hypoglycemic activities of these formulae were comparable to that of the known anti-diabetic drug metformin (27% at 300 mg/kg). The extracts were not significantly hypoglycemic when administered without Labrasol, demonstrating its bio-enhancing effect, most likely due to increasing the bioavailability of the administered preparations. The phenolic-rich extract contained 287.0±9.7 mg/g anthocyanins, while the anthocyanin-enriched fraction contained 595±20.0 mg/g (cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalents), as measured by HPLC and pH differential analysis methods. The greater hypoglycemic activity of the anthocyanin-enriched fraction compared to the initial phenolic-rich extract suggested that the activity was due to the anthocyanin components. Treatment by gavage (300 mg/kg) with the pure anthocyanins, delphinidin-3-O-glucoside and malvidin-3-O-glucoside, formulated with Labrasol, showed that malvidin-3-O-glucoside was significantly hypoglycemic while delphinidin-3-O-glucoside was not. 相似文献

Investigation of the pharmaceutical and pharmacological equivalence of different Hawthorn extracts 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Seven Hawthorn extracts were tested in isolated guinea pig aorta rings. The effect on noradrenaline- (10 microM) induced contraction was investigated. The extracts were prepared using ethanol (40 to 70% v/v), methanol (40 to 70% v/v), and water as the extraction solvents. The aqueous-alcoholic extracts displayed similar spectra of constituents. They were characterised by similar procyanidin, flavonoid, total vitexin and total phenols content and by similar TLC fingerprint chromatograms. The aqueous extract, however, showed a different fingerprint and a noticeably lower concentration of procyanidins, flavonoids and total phenols but a similar total vitexin content. All 7 extracts had a relaxant effect on the aorta precontracted by noradrenaline and led to relaxations to 44 until 29% of the initial values. The EC50 values of the aqueous-alcoholic extracts varied between 4.16 and 9.8 mg/l. The aqueous extract produced a similarly strong maximal relaxation as the other extracts, but the EC50, at 22.39 mg/l, was markedly higher. The results show that Hawthorn extracts with comparable quality profiles were obtained by using aqueous-alcoholic extraction solvents (40 to 70% ethanol or methanol). The extracts exerted comparable pharmacological effects. When using water as the extraction solvent, both, the spectrum of constituents and the pharmacological effect, deviated remarkably. It is thus possible to obtain bioequivalent extracts with comparable effect profiles by using 40 to 70% ethanol or methanol as the extraction solvent. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies have indicated a positive association between the intake of foods rich in anthocyanins and the protection against cardiovascular diseases. Some authors have shown that anthocyanins are degraded by the gut microflora giving rise to the formation of other breakdown metabolites, which could also contribute to anthocyanin health effects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of anthocyanins and their breakdown metabolites, protocatechuic, syringic, gallic, and vanillic acids, on different parameters involved in atherosclerosis, including inflammation, cell adhesion, chemotaxis, endothelial function, estrogenic/anti-estrogenic activity, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. From the assayed metabolites, only protocatechuic acid exhibited a slight inhibitory effect on NO production and TNF-α secretion in LPS-INF-γ-induced macrophages. Gallic acid caused a decrease in the secretion of MCP-1, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 in endothelial cells. All anthocyanins showed an ACE-inhibitory activity. Delphinidin-3-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-glucoside, and gallic acid showed affinity for ERβ and pelargonidin and peonidin-3-glucosides for ERα. The current data suggest that anthocyanins and their breakdown metabolites may partly provide a protective effect against atherosclerosis that is multi-causal and involves different biochemical pathways. However, the concentrations of anthocyanins and their metabolites, as used in the present cell culture and in vitro assays mediating anti-inflammatory, anti-adhesive, anti-estrogenic, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activities, were often manifold higher than those physiologically achievable. 相似文献

Anthocyanins were the main polyphenol components in extracts of fresh and pickled red cabbage. The composition of anthocyanins in red cabbage was studied using liquid chromatography mass-spectrometry. Eleven major peaks absorbing at 520 nm were discerned, which represented 18 different anthocyanin structures. Another five minor anthocyanin components could be identified by searching at their respective m/z values but only in anthocyanin-enriched concentrates produced by sorption to solid phase extraction matrices. The predominant anthocyanins were constructed of cyanidin-3-diglucoside-5-glucoside "cores" which were non-acylated, mono-acylated or di-acylated with p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic and sinapic acids. Pelargonidin-3-glucoside and novel forms of cyanidin-3-O-triglucoside-5-O-glucoside di-acylated with hydroxycinnamic acids were also detected in extracts of raw red cabbage, commercially pickled red cabbage and anthocyanin-enriched concentrates. The stability of the anthocyanins to simulated gastrointestinal digestion was assessed. The anthocyanins were effectively stable in the acidic gastric digestion conditions but the total recovery after simulated pancreatic digestion was around 25% compared to around 100% recovery of phenol content. As anthocyanins make up the majority of red cabbage polyphenols, this suggested that anthocyanins broke down to form new phenolic components. The recovery of the individual anthocyanins was monitored by LC-MS(n). All of the anthocyanins were reduced in content after pancreatic digestion but acylated forms were notably more stable than non-acylated forms. There was also a relationship between the type of acylated hydroxycinnamic acid and stability to pancreatic digestion. 相似文献

A number of three LC-MS/MS hybrid systems (QTof, TripleTof and QTrap) has been used to profile small metabolites (m/z 100-1000) and to detect the targeted metabolites such as quassinoids, alkaloids, triterpene and biphenylneolignans from the aqueous extracts of Eurycoma longifolia. The metabolite profiles of small molecules showed four significant clusters in the principle component analysis for the aqueous extracts of E. longifolia, which had been collected from different geographical terrains (Perak and Pahang) and processed at different extraction temperatures (35°C and 100°C). A small peptide of leucine (m/z 679) and a new hydroxyl methyl β-carboline propionic acid have been identified to differentiate E. longifolia extracts that prepared at 35°C and 100°C, respectively. From the targeted metabolites identification, it was found that 3,4?-dihydroeurycomanone (quassinoids) and eurylene (squalene-type triterpene) could only be detected in the Pahang extract, whereas canthin-6-one-3N-oxide could only be detected in the Perak extract. Overall, quassinoids were present in the highest concentration, particularly eurycomanone and its derivatives compared to the other groups of metabolites. However, the concentration of canthin-6-one and β-carboline alkaloids was significantly increased when the roots of the plant samples were extracted at 100°C. 相似文献

Secondary metabolites characterization of ethanol extracts of Palicourea sessilis leaves and stems by UPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS led to putative identification of hydrolysable tannins in leaf extract (ESI negative mode) while hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCA) such as N-p-coumaroylputrescine and N-feruloylagmatine were detected in both leaf and stems extracts in the ESI positive mode. Secondary metabolites quantification data showed a higher content of total phenolic in the leaf extract while the total alkaloids contents are statistically equivalent in both of the extracts. Furthermore, monoterpene indole alkaloids were not detected in both extracts. The presence of HCA is here firstly reported for a Palicourea species. This finding increases the classes of secondary metabolites occurring in this genus. 相似文献

A search for antibacterial activity in different organs/tissues of the horse mussel, Modiolus modiolus, was conducted. Dried samples were extracted with 60% (v/v) acetonitrile, containing 0.1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid. Due to high salt content, two liquid phases were obtained; an acetonitrile-rich phase (ACN extract) and an aqueous phase. The aqueous phase was further subjected to solid phase extraction (SPE). Eluates from SPE and ACN extracts were tested for antibacterial, lysozyme, and toxic activity. Antibacterial activity was demonstrated in extracts from several tissues, including plasma, haemocytes, labial palps, byssus, mantle, and gills. Some of the extracts were sensitive to proteinase K treatment, indicating antibacterial peptides and/or proteins. Lysozyme-like activity and toxic activity against Artemia salina nauplii was detected in fractions from the gills, mantle, muscle, and haemocytes. Results from this study indicate that M. modiolus is a promising source for identifying novel drug lead compounds. 相似文献

A fast liquid chromatographic method with tandem diode array-fluorescence detection for the simultaneous determination of in total 17 opium alkaloids and opioids is presented. Blank blood and urine samples (1 ml) were spiked with different concentrations of a standard mixture, as well as with the internal standard, butorphanol (2000 ng/ml). After solid-phase extraction, based on weak cation exchange (Bond Elut CBA SPE columns), the extracts were examined by HPLC-DAD-FL. By using a "high-speed" phenyl column (53 x 7.0 mm I.D., particle size 3 microm) eluted with a gradient system (A: water-methanol (90:10, v/v), B: methanol, both containing 25 mM triethylammoniumformate (pH(A) = 4.5)) all compounds could be baseline separated within 12 min. The method was validated and its applicability was demonstrated by the analysis of real-time forensic cases. 相似文献

This study examines a novel sample preparation method for the determination of 11 hydroxy metabolites of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in plasma and organ tissues, followed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC/MS). The clean-up method was optimized to eliminate the interference matter by using a silica column and 10 mL of n-hexane/dichloromethane (4:6, v/v) as an eluent. Solid-phase and solvent extraction procedures were used for the plasma and tissues samples, respectively. Compared to C(18) and C(8) solid-phase, C(2) showed higher extraction efficiency with n-hexane as the eluent for plasma. The hydroxy-PCB extraction recoveries achieved with this combined extraction and clean-up procedure from plasma ranged from 87 to 117%, while those from tissues ranged from 82 to 111%. The linear detector responses for propyl derivatives of hydroxy-PCBs were obtained with the coefficients of determination varying from 0.992 to 0.998 in the concentration range of 0.1-20 ng mL(-1). The method detection limits ranged from 0.1 to 0.5 ng mL(-1) in 1 mL of plasma and from 0.1 to 0.5 ng g(-1) in 1g of tissues. This procedure was successfully applied to the study of 3-OH-2,3',4,4',5-PeCB in rat plasma and liver samples after intraperitoneal injection (20 mg/kg) of 2,3',4,4',5-PeCB. 相似文献

Distribution and Chromatographic Characterisation of Gastrin and Cholecystokinin in the Rat Central Nervous System 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1
Abstract: Two tissue extraction techniques and two radioimmunoassays were used to study the distribution of gastrin and cholecystokinin in rat brain. Small amounts of gastrin were found in extracts of neurohypophysis, but in neither ice-cold 90% methanol nor in boiling water-acetic acid extracts of the other 33 brain areas studied. Cholecystokinin was found in equivalent amounts in both types of extract of 31 areas. The distribution was similar to that in previous studies. The components of cholecystokinin immunoreactivity were characterised in 10 rat CNS tissues using four tissue extraction methods in conjunction with gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The results demonstrated that gastrins were present only in the neurohypophysis and that in all other rat CNS tissues the main molecular component was indistinguishable from the sulphated octapeptide of cholecystokinin. Minor immunoreactive components were observed in all types of extract of all tissues with the properties of the desulphated octapeptide and the C-terminal tetrapeptide amide, suggesting they are genuine tissue components, not extraction artefacts. Large molecular forms of cholecystokinin were not detected in any tissue. The results emphasise the necessity of using two or more extraction methods and two or more chromatography systems in such a study. 相似文献

Diphosphoinositide and triphosphoinositide in animal tissues. Extraction, estimation and changes post mortem 总被引:18,自引:11,他引:7
1. A method is presented for the determination of the di- and tri-phosphoinositide in animal tissues. 2. The polyphosphoinositides are quantitatively extracted into chloroform-methanol-hydrochloric acid solvent after a preliminary chloroform-methanol (1:1, v/v) extraction to remove the bulk of the other phospholipids. On washing this extract with n-hydrochloric acid the polyphosphoinositides pass completely into the lower chloroform-rich phase. Their concentrations in the lower phase are determined by chromatography on formaldehyde-treated paper or chromatography and ionophoresis of the acid hydrolysis products. 3. When guinea-pig brain is extracted by the method of Folch (1942), considerable hydrolysis of the triphosphoinositide and accumulation of diphosphoinositide occurs during the initial acetone extraction. 4. The tri- and di-phosphoinositide contents of rat and guinea-pig brain decline substantially within a few minutes after death. 5. The concentrations of tri- and di-phosphoinositide in rat brain are not changed by insulin-hypoglycaemia or electrical stimulation. 6. Examination of frozen rat tissues showed that the brain contained the highest concentration of polyphosphoinositides. Much smaller amounts are present in kidney, and only trace quantities in liver and lung. None could be detected in spleen, heart and skeletal muscle. 相似文献

The antioxidant activity of anthocyanins has been well characterized in vitro; many cases has been postulated to provide an
important exogenous mediator of oxidative stress in the gastrointestinal tract. The objective of this study was to evaluate
the efficacy of anthocyanin protection against peroxyl radical (AAPH)-induced oxidative damage and associated cytotoxicity
in Caco-2 colon cancer cells. Crude blackberry extracts were purified by gel filtration column to yield purified anthocyanin
extracts that were composed of 371 mg/g total anthocyanin, 90.1% cyanidin-3-glucoside, and 4.9 mmol Trolox equivalent/g (ORAC)
value. There were no other detectable phenolic compounds in the purified anthocyanin extract. The anthocyanin extract suppressed
AAPH-initiated Caco-2 intracellular oxidation in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 6.5 ± 0.3 μg/ml. Anthocyanins were not toxic to Caco-2 cells, but provided significant (P < 0.05) protection against AAPH-induced cytotoxicity, when assessed using the CellTiter-Glo assay. AAPH-induced cytoxicity
in Caco-2 cells was attributed to a significant (P < 0.05) reduction in the G1 phase and increased proportion of cells in the sub G1 phase, indicating apoptosis. Prior exposure
of Caco-2 cells to anthocyanins suppressed (P < 0.05) the AAPH-induced apoptosis by decreasing the proportion of cells in the sub-G1 phase, normalized the proportion of
cells in other cell cycle phases. Our results show that the antioxidant activity of anthocyanins principally attributed to
cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and common to blackberry, are effective at inhibiting peroxyl radical induced apoptosis in cultured Caco-2 cells. 相似文献

A miniaturized temperature-programmed packed capillary liquid chromatographic method with on-column large volume injection and UV detection for the simultaneous determination of the three selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine and their metabolites in plasma is presented. An established reversed-phase C8 solid-phase extraction method was employed, and the separation was carried out on a 3.5-microm Kromasil C18 0.32x300 mm column with temperature-programming from 35 (3 min) to 100 degrees C (10 min) at 1.3 degrees C/min. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-45 mM ammonium formate (pH 4.00) (25:75, v/v). The non-eluting sample focusing solvent composition acetonitrile-45 mM ammonium formate (pH 4.00) (3:97, v/v) allowed injection of 10 microl or more of the plasma extracts. The method was validated for the concentration range 0.05-5.0 microM, and the calibration curves were linear with coefficients of correlation >0.993. The limits of quantification for the antidepressants and their metabolites ranged from 0.05 to 0.26 microM. The within and between assay precision of relative peak height were in the range 2-22 and 2-15% relative standard deviation, respectively. The within and between assay recoveries were in the 61-99 and 54-92% range for the antidepressants, respectively, and between 52-102 and 51-102% for the metabolites. 相似文献

Cytochalasin B (CB) was prepared by methanol extraction of dehydrated mold (Drechslera dematioidea) matte, reverse-phase C18 silica gel batch adsorption, selective elution with 1:1 (v/v) hexane:tetrahydrofuran (THF), crystallization, preparative TLC, and recrystallization. Unit gravity silica gel normal phase chromatography afforded additional CB. Yield per liter of medium was 300 mg of CB greater than 95% pure by NMR, HPLC (60:40 hexane:THF, Lichrosorb Si60 silica gel, 230 nm), and TLC. CB added exogenously to mouse organs at 1 and 5 micrograms/organ was recovered 70 to 100% by methanol extraction, adsorption to C18 silica gel Sep-Pak cartridges, elution with ethyl acetate, and analysis by TLC and/or HPLC. Limiting sensitivity (micrograms/extract) was 0.5 TLC; 1.0 HPLC. Quantitative extraction was confirmed with 3H-labeled CB. CB ip in mice at 50 mg/kg (LD10) distributed rapidly into liver, renal fat, kidney, intestines, mesentery, pancreas, spleen, and blood cells and was cleared from all but liver within 24 h. CB was below detectable levels in thymus, lymph nodes, heart, brain, bone marrow, and lungs. Cytochalasin A is fixed to tissues and not extractable. This work affords a source of CB in quantities permitting in vivo study, provides methods for extraction and analysis, and reveals the pharmacokinetics of ip bolus CB. 相似文献

Ayahuasca is a South American psychotropic beverage prepared from plants native to the Amazon River Basin. It combines the hallucinogenic agent and 5-HT(2A/2C) agonist N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) with beta-carboline alkaloids showing monoamine oxidase-inhibiting properties. In the present paper, an analytical methodology for the plasma quantification of the four main alkaloids present in ayahuasca plus two major metabolites is described. DMT was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction with n-pentane and quantified by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. Recovery was 74%, and precision and accuracy were better than 9.9%. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 1.6 ng/ml. Harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine (THH), the three main beta-carbolines present in ayahuasca, and harmol and harmalol (O-demethylation metabolites of harmine and harmaline, respectively) were measured in plasma by means of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. Sample preparation was accomplished by solid-phase extraction, which facilitated the automation of the process. All five beta-carbolines were measured using a single detector by switching wavelengths. Separation of harmol and harmalol required only slight changes in the chromatographic conditions. Method validation demonstrated good recoveries, above 87%, and accuracy and precision better than 13.4%. The LOQ was 0.5 ng/ml for harmine, 0.3 ng/ml for harmaline, 1.0 ng/ml for THH, and 0.3 ng/ml for harmol and harmalol. Good linearity was observed in the concentration ranges evaluated for DMT (2.5-50 ng/ml) and the beta-carbolines (0.3-100 ng/ml). The gas chromatography and HPLC methods described allowed adequate characterization of the pharmacokinetics of the four main alkaloids present in ayahuasca, and also of two major beta-carboline metabolites not previously described in the literature. 相似文献

Response surface modelling, using MODDE 6 software for Design of Experiments and Optimisation, was applied to optimise supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) conditions for the extraction of indole alkaloids from the dried leaves of Catharanthus roseus. The effects of pressure (200-400 bar), temperature (40-80 degrees C), modifier concentration (2.2-6.6 vol%) and dynamic extraction time (20-60 min) on the yield of alkaloids were evaluated. The extracts were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography and the analytes were identified using ion trap-electrospray ionisation-mass spectrometry. The method was linear for alkaloid concentration in the range 0.18-31 microg/mL. The limits of detection and quantification for catharanthine, vindoline, vinblastine and vincristine were 0.2, 0.15, 0.1 and 0.08 microg/mL and 2.7, 2.0, 1.3 and 1.1 microg/g, respectively. The dry weight content of major alkaloids in the plants were compared using different extraction methods, i.e. SFE, Soxhlet extraction, solid-liquid extraction with sonication and hot water extraction at various temperatures. The extraction techniques were also compared in terms of reproducibility, selectivity and analyte recoveries. Relative standard deviations for the major alkaloids varied from 4.1 to 17.5% in different extraction methods. The best recoveries (100%) for catharanthine were obtained by SFE at 250 bar and 80 degrees C using 6.6 vol% methanol as modifier for 40 min, for vindoline by Soxhlet extraction using dichloromethane in a reflux for 16 h, and for 3',4'-anhydrovinblastine by solid-liquid extraction using a solution of 0.5 m sulphuric acid and methanol (3:1 v/v) in an ultrasonic bath for 3 h. 相似文献

Dynamic superheated liquid extraction of anthocyanins and other phenolics from red grape skins of winemaking residues 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Grape skins from a grape pomace were subject to extraction with superheated ethanol-water mixtures for quantitative extraction of anthocyans and other phenolic compounds. The variables affecting dynamic extraction of these compounds were studied and identification and quantification of the extracted compounds were performed by both direct spectrophotometry or after HPLC separation using UV or MS detectors. The optimal working conditions for total extraction of anthocyans were: 1:1 (v/v) ethanol-water acidified with 0.8% (v/v) HCl, 120 degrees C, 30 min, 1.2 ml/min and 80 bar. The yields of anthocyanins, total phenolics and flavanols thus obtained were much higher (3 times for anthocyanins, 7 times for total phenolics and 11 times for flavanols) than those provided by dynamic conventional solid-liquid extraction. Several sample preparation procedures for skins as alternatives to free-drying were also investigated and drying at 40 degrees C for 24h provided the best results. Extraction with acidified water provides similar composition and poorer efficiency than 1:1 ethanol-water; also similar to two commercial grape skin extracts used as natural colorants. 相似文献

The differences among individual bile acids (BAs) in eliciting different physiological and pathological responses are largely unknown because of the lack of valid and simple analytical methods for the quantification of individual BAs and their taurine and glycine conjugates. Therefore, a simple and sensitive LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of 6 major BAs, their glycine, and taurine conjugates in mouse liver, bile, plasma, and urine was developed and validated. One-step sample preparation using solid-phase extraction (for bile and urine) or protein precipitation (for plasma and liver) was used to extract BAs. This method is valid and sensitive with a limit of quantification ranging from 10 to 40 ng/ml for the various analytes, has a large dynamic range (2500), and a short run time (20 min). Detailed BA profiles were obtained from mouse liver, plasma, bile, and urine using this method. Muricholic acid (MCA) and cholic acid (CA) taurine conjugates constituted more than 90% of BAs in liver and bile. BA concentrations in liver were about 300-fold higher than in plasma, and about 180-fold higher in bile than in liver. In summary, a reliable and simple LC-MS/MS method to quantify major BAs and their metabolites was developed and applied to quantify BAs in mouse tissues and fluids. 相似文献
