HPLC法测定灵芝孢子粉中三萜含量

为准确测定灵芝孢子粉中三萜的含量,运用高效液相建立适合孢子粉的分析测定方法。通过对前处理条件的优化,确定40%乙醇为孢子粉中等极性三萜酸类的最佳提取溶剂,浓缩倍数是子实体提取条件的50倍。通过色谱柱和洗脱条件的优化,建立了包括灵芝酸I、灵芝烯酸C、灵芝酸C2等13种标准品测定方法,方法学考察显示该分析方法精密度、重复性、稳定性的RSD值均小于5%,可以用于灵芝孢子粉中三萜类成分的定量检测。通过5组样品的分析发现,灵芝酸C6、灵芝酸G、灵芝酸A、灵芝酸D、灵芝酸F是灵芝孢子粉中的主要三萜类成分,其中灵芝酸A含量最高,平均占样品三萜总量的比例达19.71%;三萜类成分的溶出量与是否破壁没有相关性。三萜类成分在灵芝孢子粉和灵芝孢子油产品中的含量非常低,孢子粉的三萜含量为14.24-99.70μg/g,仅为子实体的1/100,灵芝孢子油中三萜含量也均低于50μg/g,因此三萜类成分不适合作为灵芝孢子粉及其相关产品的定量检测指标。     

灵芝孢子粉中麦角甾醇的测定分析及其脂溶性成分指纹图谱

运用建立的高效液相色谱条件,首次实现在完成灵芝孢子粉中麦角甾醇含量测定的同时,对灵芝孢子粉中脂溶性成分的指纹图谱进行研究。结果表明,该方法测定麦角甾醇准确、稳定、特异性好,脂溶性成分指纹图谱基线平直、色谱峰丰富且具备较好的分离度,该方法适合在分析测定灵芝孢子粉中麦角甾醇（282nm）含量的同时,对其脂溶性成分（245nm）的指纹图谱进行分析,为整体评价灵芝孢子粉及其产品的质量提供依据。运用建立的方法对收集的各孢子粉样品进行分析,表明破壁与否及破壁时间长短对灵芝孢子粉中麦角甾醇及脂溶性成分的溶出有显著的影响,实验认为最佳的破壁时间为20-30min;低温冻藏可以有效地保护样品中的成分;随着产粉时间的延长,孢子粉中麦角甾醇的含量变化不大,脂溶性成分总体上有所增加;不同原料来源孢子粉中麦角甾醇的含量和脂溶性成分指纹图谱的差异都很大,且麦角甾醇的含量与指纹图谱色谱峰的丰富程度没有一定的相关性,因此不能仅以麦角甾醇的含量来表征灵芝孢子粉的质量,二者的综合分析对灵芝孢子粉质量的评价才更有意义。     

灵芝孢子粉中脂溶性成分分析方法的建立

运用高效液相建立灵芝孢子粉中脂溶性成分的分析测定方法。通过色谱柱、洗脱条件、ELSD参数的优化,建立了12种脂溶性成分的测定方法,结果表明,该方法简单、准确、稳定,可以实现孢子粉中甘油三酯、脂肪酸、甾醇三类脂溶性成分的同时提取、分析;破壁孢子粉中脂溶性成分为301.49-397.37mg/g,孢子油产品中脂溶性成分的含量为626.00-713.07mg/g,远高于三萜含量;1,2-二油酸-3-棕榈酸甘油酯、甘油三油酸酯、1,2-二油酸-3-亚油酸甘油酯是主要的脂溶性成分,脂肪酸以不饱和脂肪酸亚油酸及油酸为主,甾醇中麦角甾醇含量最高。研究结果明确了灵芝孢子粉中脂溶性成分的物质基础,为深入研究其活性成分、全面评价孢子粉质量提供了依据。     

破壁灵芝孢子粉的质量探讨

研究和探讨破壁灵芝孢子粉的质量标准,利用性状鉴别、显微鉴别、理化鉴别和主要成分含量测定的方法,初步掌握破壁孢子粉质量特性。薄层色谱鉴别可见清晰荧光斑点,其醇溶液加入硫酸后可见棕色环。总灰分测定显示:采自岫岩灵芝孢子粉和山东一等孢子粉灰分较低,山东三等孢子粉灰分含量较高。不同来源的样品总三萜类含量各不相同,高者达2.24%,低者1.26%。综合各项检测结果,初步确定了破壁灵芝孢子粉质量评价指标,方法稳定,可操作性强。     

灵芝孢子粉中核苷类成分分析

本文利用高效液相色谱方法（HPLC）同时对灵芝孢子粉中的15种核苷类成分的含量进行测定。采用Ultimate AQ-C₁₈（4.6mm×250mm,5μm）色谱柱,以甲醇和水为流动相进行梯度洗脱,流速1.0mL/min,检测波长259nm,柱温30℃,进样量10μL。方法学考察结果表明,该方法准确度高,稳定性、精密度、重现性好,适用于灵芝孢子粉中核苷类成分的测定分析。运用建立的方法对不同破壁时间、不同采收时期龙泉、奉化、大别山、黄山4个产区的灵芝孢子粉中的15种核苷类成分的含量进行测定。结果表明破壁处理对灵芝孢子粉中核苷类成分提取率的影响不大,不同产地的灵芝孢子粉中核苷类成分的组成和含量具有显著差异,且孢子粉中的核苷含量随着产粉时间的延长有所增加。各待测样品中均含有胞嘧啶、尿苷、腺嘌呤、鸟苷、腺苷等成分,其中尿苷、鸟苷、腺苷3种核苷的含量占总量的比例在待测样品中均达到70%以上,为灵芝孢子粉中的主要核苷类成分。     

灵芝子实体和孢子粉三萜含量的测定及体外抗肿瘤活性的评价

目的测定灵芝子实体和破壁灵芝孢子粉中的三萜含量,并评价其醇提物的体外抗肿瘤活性。方法采用高氯酸显色法测定灵芝子实体和破壁灵芝孢子粉中的三萜含量,采用磺酰罗丹明B蛋白染色法(sulforhodamine B,SRB)评价灵芝子实体和破壁灵芝孢子粉醇提物对宫颈癌He La细胞、结肠癌HCT-116细胞和乳腺癌MCF-7-ADM细胞的体外抗肿瘤活性。结果研究的灵芝子实体中三萜质量分数为0.92%,破壁灵芝孢子粉供试品中三萜质量分数实测值为2.95%,但是灵芝孢子粉中脂肪油对高氯酸显色法有极大的干扰,因此破壁灵芝孢子粉三萜的实测值可能远高于实际值。活性评价结果显示,灵芝子实体的醇提物在100μg/m L时,其对人宫颈癌He La细胞和乳腺癌MCF-7-ADM细胞表现出了较强的抑制作用,抑制率分别为94.54%和71.30%;对结肠癌HCT-116细胞表现出较弱的抑制作用,抑制率为20.68%。破壁灵芝孢子粉的醇提物在100μg/m L和10μg/m L时,其对宫颈癌He La细胞表现出了弱的抑制作用,对另外2种细胞系仅在100μg/m L时表现出较弱的抑制作用。结论灵芝子实体的醇提物含有三萜并具有较好的抗肿瘤活性,可以将其开发为辅助治疗癌症的药物或保健品。含有脂肪油的灵芝孢子粉直接采用高氯酸比色法测定会高估其三萜的含量,需要进一步开发准确、可行的测定方法。     

灵芝子实体、菌丝体及孢子粉中多糖成分差异比较研究

为探讨灵芝子实体、菌丝体和孢子粉3种材料中多糖成分的差异,分别运用苯酚硫酸法进行多糖含量测定,运用离子色谱分析其酸水解后单糖组成,并运用HPLC分析各多糖图谱及经α-淀粉酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶处理后HPLC图谱的变化,结果发现,灵芝菌丝体中多糖含量最高,达到3.81%,孢子粉多糖含量为1.8%,灵芝子实体中多糖含量最低,仅为0.59%;水解后的单糖组成及摩尔比也有差异,子实体的单糖主要为葡萄糖和半乳糖,菌丝体和孢子粉的单糖主要为葡萄糖;HPLC图谱显示3种多糖出峰位置和分子量也不同,酶解效果表明多糖结构也相差较大。各样品多糖对小鼠巨噬细胞RAW264.7释放NO的产量的影响上,菌丝体与子实体多糖都表现出了很好的活性,而孢子粉多糖却呈现出较低活性。实验结果表明灵芝子实体、菌丝体和孢子粉3种材料的多糖成分差异大,在医药保健品使用中应区分使用。

纳米级灵芝子实体粉末和破壁灵芝孢子粉体外抗肿瘤活性研究

对纳米级灵芝子实体粉末及破壁灵芝孢子粉石油醚提取物(PE)、氯仿提取物(CE)、丙酮(AE)、甲醇提取物(ME)、水提取物(WE)与灵芝子实体及灵芝孢子提取量进行对比,利用GC-MS联用仪对石油醚提取物进行了成分分析鉴定,对水提物中总糖进行了含量测定,并利用宫颈癌细胞Hela和晶体上皮细胞SRA01/04进行了体外增殖作用和剂量效应关系研究,为灵芝资源的保护及进一步开发利用提供理论基础。结果表明,纳米化灵芝子实体及破壁灵芝孢子不同溶剂提取量显著增加,纳米级灵芝子实体粉末水提取物具有抑制宫颈癌细胞Hela和晶体上皮细胞SRA01/04增殖的作用。破壁灵芝孢子各溶剂提取物对宫颈癌细胞Hela和晶体上皮细胞SRA01/04没有明显的增殖抑制作用。     

A highly sensitive HPLC method for determination of nanomolar concentrations of dipicolinic acid, a characteristic constituent of bacterial endospores

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with indirect fluorescence detection has been developed for quantification of dipicolinic acid, a major constituent of bacterial endospores. After separation on a reversed-phase column, a post-column reagent of sodium acetate at 1 mol l(-1) with 50 micromol l(-1) terbium chloride was added for complexation of dipicolinic acid. Terbium monodipicolinate complexes formed were quantified by measuring the fluorescence emission maximum at 548 nm after excitation with UV light at 270 nm wavelength. Parameters of post-column complexation were optimized to achieve a detection limit of 0.5 nmol DPA l(-1), corresponding to about 10(3) Desulfosporosinus orientis endospores per ml. The method was applied to the analysis of spore contamination in tuna and for estimating the endospore numbers in marine sediments.

Antileishmanial activity of isolated triterpenoids from Pourouma guianensis.

The inhibiting activity of triterpenoids isolated from the methanolic extract of Pourouma guianensis (Moraceae) leaves is described for promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis. Whereas the fractions containing apigenin, friedelin, epi-friedelinol, arjunolic acid, hyptatic acid B, stigmasterol and sitosterol were of no or relatively low inhibitory activity, fractions containing tormentic acid, 2alpha,3beta-dihydroxyursan-12-en-28-oic acid, 2alpha,3beta-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, oleanolic acid and ursolic acid were very potent in inhibiting promastigote growth at 100 microg/ml. Of the eleven isolated compounds, however, only ursolic acid and oleanolic acid showed high activity against intracellular amastigotes (IC50 value = 27 microg/ml and 11 microg/ml, respectively), which was superior to the control drug Glucantime (IC50 value = 83 microg/ml). The antileishmanial activity of oleanolic acid was directed against the parasite and not due to activation of nitric oxide intermediates by macrophages, but this triterpenoid also significantly inhibited the phagocytic capacity of those cells at concentrations above 40 microg/ml, indicating a cytotoxic effect. These results indicate that Pourouma guianensis contains many triterpenoids and some, such as ursolic and oleanolic acids, may serve as lead compounds for new antileishmanial drugs, but chemical modifications may be necessary to avoid unselective cytotoxicity.     

Pentacyclic triterpenoids and sterols from seven species of mangrove

The isolation of pentacyclic triterpenoids from seven species of fresh mangrove leaves using a simple and rapid method is described. The leaves were homogenized using chloroform—methanol and the extract was diluted with water to precipitate out triterpenoids which were separated into neutral and acidic fractions. These were analysed by gas-liquid chromatography as acetyl and trimethylsilyl ether derivatives on a 3% OV-17 column. Sterols were isolated from the chloroform layer by preparative thin layer chromatography and were analysed by gas-liquid chromatography as their trimethylsilyl ether derivatives on a 3% OV-17 column. The triterpenoids found were α-amyrin, β-amyrin, lupeol, oleanolic acid and ursolic acid in most of the samples. Sterols found in all the samples were cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol and stigmast-7-en-3β-ol. Retention indices of the triterpenoids and sterols have been determined.     

Chemical composition of the epicuticular and intracuticular wax layers on the adaxial side of Ligustrum vulgare leaves

Previous research has shown that cuticular triterpenoids are exclusively found in the intracuticular wax layer of Prunus laurocerasus. To investigate whether this partitioning was species-specific, the intra- and epicuticular waxes were identified and quantified for the glossy leaves of Ligustrum vulgare, an unrelated shrub with similar wax morphology. Epicuticular wax was mechanically stripped from the adaxial leaf surface using the adhesive gum arabic. Subsequently, the organic solvent chloroform was used to extract the intracuticular wax from within the cutin matrix. The isolated waxes were quantified using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection and identified by mass spectrometry. The results were visually confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The outer wax layer consisted entirely of homologous series of very-long-chain aliphatic compound classes. By contrast, the inner wax layer was dominated (80%) by two cyclic triterpenoids, ursolic and oleanolic acid. The accumulation of triterpenoids in the intracuticular leaf wax of a second, unrelated species suggests that this localization may be a more general phenomenon in smooth cuticles lacking epicuticular wax crystals. The mechanism and possible ecological or physiological reasons for this separation are currently being investigated.     

A structure–activity relationship study on antiosteoclastogenesis effect of triterpenoids from the leaves of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica)

Our previous results elucidated that the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica possessed the potential to suppress ovariectomy-induced bone mineral density deterioration, and ursolic acid, the major bioactive component in these leaves, suppressed the osteoclast differentiation. The aim of this study was to discover more candidates for development of novel antiosteoclastogenesis agents from the leaves of E. japonica. Phytochemical analysis following a cell-based osteoclastic tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity assay revealed 11 more compounds with a potent antiosteoclastogenesis effect. The potency of ursane-type triterpenoids from the leaves of E. japonica prompted us to investigate the structure–activity relationships underlying their antiosteoclastogenesis. The results revealed that both the hydroxyl group at C-3 and the carboxylic group at C-17 played indispensable roles in the antiosteoclastogenesis activity of ursane-type triterpenoids. The configuration at C-3 (a beta-form of the hydroxyl group) was found to be important for this activity. While introducing a hydroxyl group at C-19 increased the inhibitory activity of ursane-type triterpenoids carrying an alpha-form hydroxyl group at C-3. The bioactivity analyses of ursolic acid and oleanolic acid demonstrated that the antiosteoclastogenesis effect of ursolic acid may be related to different positions of the C-29 and C-30 methyl groups on the E-ring, since oleanolic acid showed limited activity. The addition of a hydroxyl group at C-2 would dramatically improve the inhibition of oleanane-type triterpenoids. Collectively, these findings could provide important clues for the improvement of multi-targeted antiosteoclastogenesis agents from the leaves of E. japonica.     

Comparison of rapid DNA extraction methods applied to PCR identification of medicinal mushroom Ganoderma spp

Four different DNA extraction methods were used to extract genomic DNA of the medicinal mushroom Lingzhi from its developing stage materials, such as mycelium, dry fruiting body, or sliced and spore powder or sporoderm-broken spore powder. The DNA samples were analyzed using agarose gel electrophoresis, UV spectrophotometer, and PCR amplification. According to the average yields and purity of DNA, high salt concentrations and low pH methods were the best for DNA extraction. The mycelia and sporoderm-broken spore powder yielded higher and purer DNA. The method developed could effectively eliminate the influence of the secondary metabolites to DNA extraction. The DNA samples extracted from the developed method could be successfully used for PCR applications.
