Identification of metabolites in different parts of Juandan Baihe (Lilium lancifolium) by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and their hypoglycemic activities / 数字中医药（英文）

Objective @#To identify the main components in the extracts of different parts of Juandan Baihe (Lilium lancifolium) by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) technology and investigate their hypoglycemic activities.@*Methods@#The MS fragmentation pathways of the main types of compounds in Juandan Baihe (Lilium lancifolium) were studied, and the main components in the extracts were systematically identified using MS fragmentation pathways combined with MS mining technology. Based on the hyperglycemia male mouse model [specific pathogen free (SPF)-grade Kunming mice] induced by streptozotocin (intragastric administration of 80 mg/kg for 3 d), the hypoglycemic effects of extracts of Juandan Baihe (Lilium lancifolium) roots, stems, corms, leaves, and flowers were evaluated by measuring the changes of blood glucose, daily water consumption, daily food intake, and body weight.@*Result@#The MS fragmentation pathways of regalosides, dioscins, phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, and chlorogenic acids in Juandan Baihe (Lilium lancifolium) were clarified, and a mining method for compounds in this plant was constructed. A total of 58 compounds, including 6 chlorogenic acids, 14 regalosides, 13 phenylpropanoids, 5 flavonoids, and 20 dioscins, were identified from the roots, stems, corms, leaves, and flowers of Juandan Baihe (Lilium lancifolium). Among them, 30 compounds were reported for the first time from this plant. The root and corm extracts demonstrated significant hypoglycemic activities by reducing blood glucose levels from 23.76 ± 1.21 and 24.29 ± 1.35 mmol/L to 17.21 ± 1.23 and 18.78 ± 1.49 mmol/L, respectively (P < 0.05). The roots and corms extracts could also attenuate the symptoms of polydipsia (P < 0.01), polyphagia (P < 0.05), and weight loss caused by diabetes.@*Conclusion@#This study clarifies that the roots of Juandan Baihe (Lilium lancifolium) are rich in regalosides and dioscins for the first time, and have significant hypoglycemic activities, providing the foundation for the comprehensive utilization of this plant and the development of hypoglycemic drugs.

Construction of EST-SSR identification system for Lilium lancifolium and main edible Lilium / 中草药

Objective: To develop the EST-SSR molecular identification system of Lilium lancifolium, Lilium davidii var. willmottiae, Lilium regale, Lilium casa blanca and Lilium brownie var. viridulum, and analyze the development efficiency and identification ability of EST-SSR molecular marker technology for Lilium genus. Methods: The MISA.pl program was used to identify the SSR locus of the EST gene sequence published by NCBI. The EST-SSR primers were generated by Primer3 program module, and the primers were screened by PCR amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis. The primary screening primers were verified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the characteristic bands of different germplasms were labeled and analyzed to construct an identification system. Results: A total of 199 pairs of SSR primers were designed. After screening 26 pairs of primers, two pairs of highly efficient primers were obtained. The molecular identification system constructed by primer JZ391 can effectively identify the mixed commercial materials, which had certain practical value. Conclusion: Based on the extreme genetic characteristics of the research materials, this identification marker development is very efficient. The results confirm that the genetic basis of the species is an important factor affecting the development efficiency of its EST-SSR molecular marker. At the same time, this case can be used as a reference for the development of EST-SSR markers for other Chinese medicinal herbs similar to Lilium genus.

Content Determination of As and Hg of Lilium Lancifolium Samples from Longshan County by AFS / 中国中医药信息杂志

Objective To analyze and discuss the content determination of As and Hg from Lilium Lancifolium in Longshan County; To optimize microwave digestion conditions. Methods Automatic microwave digestion appratus was used. Lilium Lancifolium samples from Longshan County were digested in teflon microwave tube with HNO3-H2O2, and As and Hg were measured with atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). Results The content of As was in the range of 0.031–0.507 mg/kg, and the highest content of Hg was 0.024 mg/kg. The regression equation was Y=221.23X+170.72(r=0.995 9),Y=503.52X-682.43,(r=0.999 2).For the production base,the recoveries of As and Hg were 94.32% and 92.48% in the samples, and RSD were 2.14% and 2.70%; for the breeding base, the recoveries of As and Hg were 94.95% and 93.52% in the samples, and RSD were 1.15% and 1.97%. Conclusion The method is simple and reliable, which can be used to the content determination of As and Hg from Lilium Lancifolium, and provide references for the choice of base of production and breeding of Lilium Lancifolium in Longshan County.

Analysis and evaluation of eight active ingredients in Lilium lancifolium from different regions / 中国中药杂志

This study established a rapid UPLC-TQ-MS/MS method for determination of eight active ingredients in Lilium lancifolium. The contents range of regaloside E, F, C and B are as follows: 0.604 0×10⁻¹-18.62×10⁻¹, 0.680 0×10⁻²-44.75×10⁻², 0.700 0×10⁻³-29.65×10⁻¹, 0.170 0×10⁻¹-4.724 mg•g⁻¹; the contents of chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, protocatechualdehyde and ferulic acid, within the range of 6.827×10⁻³-16.07×10⁻³, 0.011 1×10⁻³-79.71×10⁻³, 0.593 7×10⁻³-2.962×10⁻³, 2.606×10⁻²-45.89×10⁻² mg•g⁻¹, respectively. According to PCA (principal components analysis) plotting, 35 batches can be divided into two categories, namely Anhui Huoshan and Hunan Longshan. The main different elements between these two categories are caffeic acid and ferulic acid according to the VIP (variable importance in the projection) points figure. Based on comprehensive principal component values, there are eight batches of L. lancifolium from Huoshan among the comprehensive ranking of ten. The UPLC-TQ-MS method for simultaneous analysis of eight active ingredients is accurate, efficient and convenient. This result can provide scientific basis for quality control of L. lancifolium.
