ABSTRACT
Objective:To study on the chemical constituents of total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis,and to analyze the pharmacodynamics and mechanism of total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis on cervical cancer HeLa cells. Method:UPLC-Q-TOF/MS was used to qualitatively analyze the composition of total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis.The appropriate concentration and time of administration were screened by 3 dimensional(3D) microfluidic chip.Flow cytometry was used to determine the effect of total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis on the cell cycle and apoptosis of cervical cancer HeLa cells and analyzed by FlowJo v10.0.7 and ModFit LT 3.2 software.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to determine the changes of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)-A and Caspase-3 factors in cervical cancer HeLa cells supernatant treated with total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis. Result:Total of 15 components in total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis were identified or inferred.The low,medium and high dosages of total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis were 0.5,1.0, 2.0 g·L-1 and the best time of administration was 36 h.The proportions of early and late apoptosis of cervical cancer HeLa cells increased significantly in the apoptosis analysis after being treated by total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis.The DNA synthesis early phase(G0/G1 phase) of cervical cancer HeLa cells significantly increased,and the DNA synthesis phase(S phase) and the DNA synthesis late phase(G2/M phase) reduced.After being treated with total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis,the expression of VEGF-A in cervical cancer HeLa cells supernatant was significantly decreased and the expression of Caspase-3 was significantly increased. Conclusion:Spatholobi Caulis is rich in tannins,which can significantly inhibit the proliferation of cervical cancer HeLa cells and promote its apoptosis.This paper can provide the basis for further research of total tannins from Spatholobi Caulis.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: extractos acuosos de Rhizophora mangle L (mangle rojo) presentan alto contenido de taninos que le confieren propiedades de antiséptico y cicatrizante. Objetivo: demostrar la validez de un método de cuantificación de taninos totales para el control de calidad de formulaciones semisólidas de mangle rojo. Métodos: se estudiaron los indicadores de linealidad, precisión, exactitud, selectividad, y robustez, sugeridos por la USP y la Regulación 41 del CECMED para métodos cuantitativos de contenido o pureza de principios activos mayoritarios. Resultados: se demostró la linealidad en el rango de 0,40-1 mg/mL del patrón empleado, se obtuvo la ecuación de la recta, con coeficientes de determinación y correlación (r² y r) de 0,9912 y 0,9956; el intercepto y la pendiente, no difirieron 0 y 1, respectivamente. Los estudios de recobrado mostraron porcentajes de recobro superiores a 98 por ciento en los diferentes niveles de concentración ensayados indicativos de una adecuada exactitud. El método resultó ser preciso tanto en condiciones óptimas de repetibilidad como en condiciones intermedias. Los resultados de la selectividad mostraron que la respuesta del método no presentó interferencias con otros componentes de la formulación, así como la ausencia de respuesta en los placebos. La robustez quedó comprobada al no obtenerse diferencias significativas entre los resultados obtenidos de corridas del ensayo normal y corridas con cambios (temperatura y tiempo de la centrifugación, variaciones pequeñas del pH del buffer) que resultaron no significativos. Conclusiones: el método de cuantificación de taninos totales resulta confiable para la evaluación de estos compuestos en la formulación semisólida estudiada
Introduction: Rhizophora mangle L (red mangrove) aqueous extracts have high tannin content that gives them antiseptic and healing features. Objective: to demonstrate the validity of total tannin quantitative determination method for the quality control of semi-solid red mangrove formulations. Methods: The linearity, precision, accuracy, selectivity and robustness indicators were studied in pursuant to the USP guidelines and the Regulation 41 of CECMED for the quantitative determination methods of the content or purity of majority active principles. Results: the linearity in the 0.40-1 mg/mL range of the used pattern was proved, the equation of the straight line with determination and correlation (r² y r) coefficients equal to 0.9912 and 0.9956 respectively were obtained, and the intercept and the slope did not differ from 0 and 1, respectively. The recovery studies showed recovery rates over 98 percent at the various levels of concentration tested, which indicated adequate accuracy. The method was precise both in optimal repeatability conditions and intermediate conditions. The selectivity results revealed that the method response did not interfere with other components of the formulation, and that there was no response in the placebos. Robustness was confirmed since no significant differences between the results from the normal test runs and from the test runs including changes (temperature and centrifugation time, slight variations in the buffer pH) were observed, being all these results not significant. Conclusions: the total tannin quantitative determination method was reliable for the evaluation of these compounds in the studied semi-solid formulation
