ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE：To establish the HPLC fingerprints of ethanol extracts of Dendrobium nobile from different habitats ， and to study spectrum effect relationship of its anti-inflammatory effect. METHODS ：The ethanol extracts from 12 batches of D. nobile from different habitats （S1-S12）were prepared. The fingerprints of ethanol extracts from 12 batches of D. nobile were established by HPLC and TCM Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System （version 2012）. Common peaks were identified and the similarity was evaluated. Using the contents of inflammatory factors （IL-4，IL-6）as anti-inflammatory indexes ，ELISA was used to investigate the effects of ethanol extracts from 12 batches of D. nobile on RAW 264.7 macrophages in inflammatory model induced by lipopolysaccharide. Grey correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between common peaks and anti-inflammatory indexes in the fingerprint of ethanol extract from D. nobile . RESULTS ：There were 18 common peaks in ethanol extracts from 12 batches of D. nobile ，and No. 12 peak was identified as dendrophenol. The similarity of each sample was 0.911-0.996. The content of IL- 4 in cell culture medium was significantly reduced by ethanol extracts of D. nobile S1-S12（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；the content of IL- 6 in cell culture was significantly reduced by ethanol extracts of D. nobile S1-S8，S10（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Grey correlation analysis found that except for peaks 4 and 18，the correlation degree between the other common peaks and the content of IL- 4 was greater than 0.6，and the correlation degree between peaks 5 and 7 and the content of IL- 4 was greater than 0.8；except for peaks 9，14，4，3 and 18，the correlation degree between the other common peaks and the content of IL- 6 was greater than 0.6，and the correlation degree between peaks 1，12 and 13 and the content of IL- 6 was greater than 0.8. CONCLUSIONS ：HPLC fingerprints of ethanol extracts from 12 batches of D. nobile ； from different habitats have high similarity and good consistency in composition ； the chemical constituents represented by peaks 1，5，7，12（dendrophenol）and 13 may 769096783@qq.com be potential anti-inflammatory components of D. nobile .
