[source] Determination of asperosaponin VI in rat plasma by HPLC-ESI-MS and its application to preliminary pharmacokinetic studiesBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 5 2010Kai Li Abstract Asperosaponin VI (also named akebia saponin D) is a typical bioactive triterpenoid saponin isolated from the rhizome of Dipsacus asper Wall (Dipsacaceae). In this work, a sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography,electrospray ionization,mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) assay has been established for determination of asperosaponin VI in rat plasma. With losartan as the internal standard (IS), plasma samples were prepared by protein precipitation with methanol. Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column with a mobile phase of 10,mm ammonium acetate buffer containing 0.05% formic acid,methanol (32,:,68, v/v). The analysis was performed on an ESI in the selected ion monitoring mode using target ions at m/z 951.4 for asperosaponin VI and m/z 423.2 for the IS. The calibration curve was linear over the range 3,1000,ng/mL and the lower limit of quantification was 3.0,ng/mL. The intra- and inter-assay variability values were less than 9.5 and 7.8%, respectively. The accuracies determined at the concentrations of 3.0, 100.0, 300.0 and 1000,ng/mL for asperosaponin VI were within ±15.0%. The validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study in rats after oral administration of asperosaponin VI. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Structure analysis of triterpene saponins in Polygala tenuifolia by electrospray ionization ion trap multiple-stage mass spectrometryJOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY (INCORP BIOLOGICAL MASS SPECTROMETRY), Issue 7 2007Jiangyun Liu Abstract Eighteen different triterpene saponins isolated from Polygala tenuifolia were investigated by electrospray ionization ion trap multiple-stage mass spectrometry (ESI-ITMSn) in positive and negative ion modes. MS1 -MS3/MS4 spectra of the both modes were analyzed, and they all gave fragments in line and shared common fragmentation patterns. Key fragments from MSn spectra of both the modes and their proposed fragmentation pathways were constructed with examples illustrated for the formation of characteristic fragments in the saponins. Two special fragmentation patterns were proposed: (1) the formation of fragments by cleavage of CH2O from ,12 -14,-CH2OH of the oleanene-type saponin aglycone in both positive and negative MSn (n , 2) modes; (2) the occurrence of fragments by cleavage of CO2 and 3-glucose as the characteristic structure feature of 23-COOH at the oleanene-type saponin aglycones coupled with 3-Glc substitutes in the negative MSn (n , 2) modes. Peak intensities in MSn spectra were also correlated with structural features and fragmentation preferences of the investigated saponins, which are discussed in detail. In general, fragments formed predominantly by cleavages of glycosidic bonds in the positive mode, while selective cleavages of acyl bonds preceded that of glycosidic bonds in negative MSn (n , 2) mode, both of which could well be applied to the structural analysis of these saponins. Interpretation of MSn spectra presented here provided diagnostic key fragment ions important for the structural elucidation of saponins in P.tenuifolia. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Characterization of two minor saponins from Cordia piauhiensis by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopyMAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY, Issue 6 2005Renata P. Santos Abstract A careful NMR analysis with full assignment of the 1H and 13C spectral data for two minor saponins isolated from stems of Cordia piauhiensis is reported. These saponins were isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and characterized as 3,- O -[,- L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 , 2)-,- D -glucopyranosyl]pomolic acid 28- O -[,- D -glucopyanosyl-(1 , 6)-,- D -glucopyranosyl] ester (1) and 3,- O -[,- L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 , 2)-,- D -glucopyranosyl]oleanolic acid 28- O -[,- D -xylopyranosyl-(1 , 2)-,- D -glucopyanosyl-(1 , 6)-,- D -glucopyranosyl] ester (2). Their structures were established using a combination of 1D and 2D (1H, 1H-COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, gs -HMQC and gs -HMBC) NMR techniques, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and chemical evidence.

Speroni Abstract According to folk medicine some species belonging to the genus Cyclamen were used for their biological activities. Early investigation of the different species of the genus resulted in the isolation of triterpenic saponins. No phytochemical and biological data are available on C. repandum. As part of a series of phytochemical investigations for bioactive compounds from medicinal plants, Cyclamen repandum S. et S. was investigated. The present study sought to find the antiinflammatory and antinociceptive activities of C. repandum tubers in rats and mice. A preliminary screening was conducted with three different extracts in the tests used, particularly the paw edema and the writhing tests. Subsequently some saponins isolated from the ME extract, the more effective one, have been identified. This paper also describes the results of fractionation and bioassay guided chemical studies. Chemical investigation of the active extract afforded the isolation and characterization of six triterpenic saponins. The possible antiinflammatory and analgesic properties were investigated as the saponin content of the fractions allows to speculate on such aspect. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
