RESUMEN
Objective: To study the alkaloids from Corydalis saxicola and their anti-oxidative activities. Methods: The alkaloids were separated and purified by various column chromatography and identified according to their spectral analyses. The anti-oxidation activities were investigated on DPPH radical scavenging assay. Results: Sixteen compounds were obtained and identified as cavidine (1), stylopine (2), canadine (3), tetrahydropalmatine (4), cheilanthifoline (5), scoulerine (6), protopine (7), dehydrocheilanthifoline (8), dehydroisoapocavidine (9), berberine (10), dehydrodiscretamine (11), chelerythrine (12), dehydrocavidine (13), corypalline (14), isocorydine (15), and pallidine (16). The alkaloids from C. saxicla were measured by the model of scavenging the stable DPPH radical, which showed a concentration dependent scavenging effect. Conclusion: Compounds 3, 5, 8, 11, and 16 are isolated from C. saxicola for the first time. Compounds 5 and 16 show the strong anti-oxidative activities.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To establish a method of HPLC fingerprint to determine the contents of primary alkaloids in Corydalis saxicola Bunting cells. METHODS: The determination was performed on a Dikma Diamonsil C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile and water (40:60) supplemented with 3.4 g·L-1 KH2PO4 and 1.7 g·L-1 SDS. The chromatogram was monitored at 345 nm. The flow rate was 1 mL·min-1, and the column temperature was kept at 25°C. RESULTS: The linear regression equations for dehydrocavidine and berberine wereY=3645.2X+47.61 (r=0.9989) and Y=4172.7X+73.52 (r=0.9992), and the average recoveries were 97.9% and 98.2%, respectively. The intra- and inter-day RSDs of these alkaloids were lower than 3%. CONCLUSION: An effective method with good precision was established for the determination of the alkaloids in cultured C. saxicolacells. The Results of resemblances evaluation of the fingerprints were satisfactory. This method can be used as the quality and quantity control of C. saxicola cells.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the anti-HBV constituents from Corydalis saxola. Methods The constituents were repeatedly purified by column chromatography and were identified on the basis of spectral analysis and comparison of their spectral data with those previously reported. Compounds isolated in large amounts were assayed against HBV. Results Sixteen compounds were identified to be dihydrosanguinarine (1), d-corydaline (2), cavidine (3), stylopine (4), 6-acetonyl-5, 6-dihydrosanguinarine (5), dihydrochelerythrine (6), tetrahydropalmatine (7), adlumidine (8), (-)-salutaridine (9), palmatine (10), protopine (11), berberine (12), coptisine (13), thalifaurine (14), dehydroapocavidine (15), and (+)-magnoflorine (16). Compounds 5, 6, 8-11, 13, and 16 with high amounts were chosen to detect anti-HBV activities. Compounds 5 and 8 were moderately active, compounds 11 and 16 showed weak inhibitory effects, while compound 6 exihibited the most potent activity against HBsAg and HBeAg secretions in HepG 2.2.15 cell line, followed by compound 9. Conclusion Compounds 1, 4-6, 8, 9, 13, 14, and 16 are isolated from C. saxicola for the first time. Compound 10 is the main constituent and compound 6 exihibits the most potent activity against HBV.
