echinacoside and isoacteoside

Plants of the Plantago genus are widely used in Turkish folk medicine especially for the treatment of wound, abscess, and inflammation. The aqueous extract and five phenylethanoid glycosides acteoside (1), arenarioside (2), echinacoside (3), isoacteoside (4), and leucosceptoside A (5) isolated from the aerial parts and roots of Plantago holosteum Scop. (Plantaginaceae) were tested for their possible inhibitory activity against hyaluronidase, elastase, and collagenase, related to wound pathogenesis. Even though the aqueous extract prepared from the aerial parts (36.26%) and roots (47.01%) and the isolated compounds acteoside (29.13%), echinacoside (28.73%), and isoacteoside (31.69%) exerted a notable inhibition, arenarioside and leucosceptoside A were found inactive in the hyaluronidase enzyme inhibition test. Similar results were obtained from the collagenase enzyme inhibition test. The aqueous extract prepared from the aerial parts (31.09%) and roots (35.17%), echinacoside (25.13%), and isoacteoside (23.85%) exerted a notable inhibition in this test. However, none of the extracts and isolated compounds displayed elastase enzyme inhibitory activity. The experimental data demonstrated that P. holosteum displayed a remarkable enzyme inhibitory activity against hyaluronidase and collagenase. This paper is the first report regarding the in vitro enzyme inhibitory activity of P. holosteum.

Five samples of Cistanches Herba from different places were analyzed by HPLC-ESI-MS and FTIR methods. The effective compositions in Cistanches Herba including cistanoside A, echinacoside, acteoside , isoacteoside, 2'-actylacteoside, cistanoside C and tubluoside B were determined by HPLC-MS. The common peak ratio and variant peak ratio were calculated by FTIR spectroscopy of the five samples and the dual index sequence of common peak ratio and variant peak ratio were established. The results showed that the evaluation results of the samples by the two methods were the same. The general fake plant Cynomorii Herba could be identified by FTIR. HPLC-ESI-MS, which has high sensitivity and rapid determination procedure, can be used to evaluate quality of Cistanches Herba by quantitative analysis of the primary compositions. FTIR is a non-destructive analysis method. without complicated extraction and separation procedures to the samples. The absorption strength and the absorption shape were the synergistic effect of the functional groups and the nestification of the components in Cistanches Herba. The provided method has some advantages such as rapid analysis process, good reproducibility, non-destructive, small quantity of sample, simple treatment, good specificity, low-cost and environment-friendly. The method meets the trend of complex analysis and whole analysis for the Chinese medicines. Combination of FTIR and HPLC-ESI-MS was a good method for identification and evaluation of quality of Chinese medicines.

A new and fast sample preparation technique based on two-phase hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) with magnetofluid was developed to quantitate and determine the four phenylethanoid glycosides (PhGs) (Echinacoside, Tubuloside B, Acteoside and Isoacteoside) in plasma after oral administration of Cistanche salsa extract. Analysis was accomplished by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with ultraviolet detection. Parameters that affect the HF-LPME processes, such as the content of magnetic powder, the solvent type, salt content, stirring speed, extraction time and hollow fiber length, were investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the preconcentration factors for PhGs were higher than 625. The calibration curve for PhGs was linear in the range of 0.1-100ngmL(-1) with correlation coefficients greater than 0.9996. The intra-day and inter-day precision (RSD) were below 8.74% and the limits of detection (LOD) for the four PhGs were 8-15pgmL(-1) (S/N=3). The validated method was successfully applied to separate and determine the four PhGs in rat plasma after oral administration of C. salsa extract.

Four phenylethanoid glucosides were isolated from the flower of Buddleja officinalis. On the basis of specteral data, they were identified as salidroside(1), verbascoside(2), isoverbascoside(3) and echinacoside(4). Compounds 1, 3 and 4 were obtained from the plant for the first time. Compound 2 showed antibacterial and anticancer activities.
