ABSTRACT
Daturae Flos is a traditional antitussive and antiasthmatic medicine， its flowers and leaves are rich in a variety of compounds， including withanolides， alkaloids， terpenes， flavonoids and amides. Because of its antiasthmatic， antitussive， antispasmodic and analgesia effect， it is traditionally used for the treatment of asthma， cough， cold pain in abdominal cavity， rheumatic arthralgia， infantile chronic eclampsia， and can also be used as raw material for surgical anesthesia. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that in addition to the traditional efficacy， Daturae Flos also has anti-inflammatory， immunosuppression， anti-convulsion and other effects， and is often used in the treatment of psoriasis， Parkinson's disease， epilepsy， rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. At present， the chemical constituents of Daturae Flos are mainly focused on withanolides and alkaloids. At the same time， there is a lack of clear classification of chemical components and the distribution of chemical components in medicinal parts of this medicine， and little information is available for the pharmacological effects of polysaccharides. Based on this， this paper systematically searched relevant literature of Daturae Flos， and summarized and analyzed its chemical composition， pharmacological effect and clinical application， in order to provide reference for further development and utilization of Daturae Flos.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the phenylpropanoids from the roots of Datura metel. Methods The separations and purifications were taken by silica gel and ODS chromatogram columns as well as preparative HPLC, and the structural identification based on physicochemical property, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR as well as HR-MS data. Results Nineteen compounds obtained from the butanol fraction of the 70% ethanol extract of D. metel roots, which were identified as icariside E5 (1), alangisesquin A (2), Glycopentoside F (3), conicaoside (4), (7S,8R) dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9’-O-β-glucopyranoside (5), iariciresinol-4’-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), 7R,8R-threo-4,7,9-trihy-droxy-3,3’-dimethoxy-8-O-4’-neolignan-9’-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), vitrifol A (8), leptolepisol D (9), thero-2,3-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxypheyl)-3-methoxy-propanol (10), hyuganoside IIIb (11), officinalioside (12), iariciresinol-9-O- β-D-glucopyranoside (13), stroside A (14), erythro-buddlenol B (15), sargentodoside D (16), (+)-(7S,8S)-4-hydroxy-3,3’,5’- trimethoxy-8’,9’-dinor-8,4’-oxyneolignan-7,9-diol-7’-oic acid (17), 5’-methoxy lariciresinol (18), and dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (19). Conclusion Compounds 2-19 are isolated from Solanaceae family for the first time and compound 1 is firstly isolated from genus Datura L.
ABSTRACT
Daturae Flos (flowers of Datura metel) is recorded by Chinese Pharmacopoeia for its important medicinal property. The most characteristic chemical constituents in Daturae Flos are withanolides, flavonoids, and alkaloids. There are also sesquiterpenoids, phenolic acid, and lignans in it. Daturae Flos has various pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammation, anti-itching, cytoprotection, antibacterial effects, antioxidation, and so on. Daturae Flos also has the effect on epithelial cells mitosis and skin keratinization, immune system, central nervous system, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system. It is usually used to treat psoriasis, chronic tracheitis, asthma, infantile pneumonia, Parkinson disease, and rheumatism. In this paper, we summarize the chemical composition, pharmacyological effects, and clinical curative effect of Daturae Flos to prompt the development and utilization of them.
