global detection and semi quantification of Fritillaria alkaloids in Fritillariae ussuriensis bulbus by a non targeted multiple reaction monitoring approach
IEEE Journal of Solid-state Circuits, 2016Co-Authors: Li Wang, Sibao Chen, Puikin So, Ping Li, Bin HuAbstract:: Methods based on triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry have been widely used and reported as highly selective and sensitive methods for quantifying substances of herbal medicines. However, most of them were limited to targeted components, due to the difficulties to optimize the multiple reaction monitoring transitions without authentic standards. This study proposed a novel strategy for non-targeted optimization of multiple reaction monitoring method based on the diagnostic ion guided family classifications, tandem mass spectrometry database establishment, and transitions and collision energy screening. Applying this strategy, 59 Fritillaria alkaloids in Fritillariae Ussuriensis Bulbus have been classified, and 51 of these Fritillaria alkaloids were successfully detected by the optimal multiple reaction monitoring method. For semi-quantification, the easy-to-obtain Fritillaria alkaloids of each type, such as verticinone for cevanine type and peimisine for jervine type, were used as the reference standards to calibrate the other Fritillaria alkaloids in the same type. The method was demonstrated a good linearity (R(2) > 0.998) with satisfactory accuracy and precision, and the lower limits of quantification of verticinone and peimisine were estimated to be 0.076 and 0.216 pg, respectively. In addition, the results suggested that the proposed strategy might obtained high quality metabolomics data in discrimination of Fritillaria unibracteata and Fritillaria ussuriensis.

investigation of association of chemical profiles with the tracheobronchial relaxant activity of chinese medicinal herb beimu derived from various Fritillaria species
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2018Co-Authors: Shun Wan Chan, Pangchui Shaw, Ge LinAbstract:Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance Fritillariae Bulbus (Beimu in Chinese) is derived from the bulbus of many Fritillaria species (family Liliaceae), which has been used as an antitussive herb in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2000 years. Due to the complexity of plant origins and significant variations in chemical profiles, the characterization of the profile of the major bioactive constituents and its association with pharmacological activity are important for the quality control of Beimu herbs from different origins. Aim of the study This study aims to investigate the distribution of major bioactive isosteroidal alkaloids in Beimu herbs of different origins and its correlation with the tracheobronchial relaxant activity. Methods Quantification of 7 main bioactive 5α-cevanine isosteroidal alkaloids, including ebeiedine, ebeiedinone, hupehenine, isoverticine, verticine, verticinone and imperialine, in 23 Fritillaria species was performed using gas chromatography. The relaxant effect of different extracts of 4 commonly used Beimu herbs, namely Zhe-Beimu (F. thunbergii Miq.), Chuan-Beimu (F. cirrhosa D. Don), Hubei-Beimu (F. hupehensis Hsiao et K. C. Hsia) and Yi-Beimu (F. pallidiflora Schrenk), was evaluated using rat isolated tracheal and bronchial preparations pre-contracted with carbachol, the well established in vitro antitussive model. Results Amongst 23 Fritillaria species detected, significant variations of the types and quantities of 7 major isosteroidal alkaloids were determined, which served as an important indicator for the classification of different Beimu herbs with distinct geographic distributions. Based on the type and quantity of these alkaloids, different origins of Beimu could be clearly clustered into several subgroups by principal component analysis. Furthermore, both crude alkaloid and water extracts of all 4 Beimu herbs showed a dose-dependent tracheobronchial relaxation with different potencies. The total content of alkaloids (weight adjusted based on the activity of individual alkaloids) in Beimu extracts significantly correlated with their tracheobronchial relaxation effects (r2 > 0.9, p Conclusions The results demonstrated that the differences in chemical profile of major bioactive isosteroidal alkaloids and pharmacological activity of Beimu could be incorporated into a simple and unified method for quality control and potential prediction of activity of Beimu herbs from different origins.

In vitro Tracheobronchial Relaxation of Fritillaria Alkaloids
Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines, 2011Co-Authors: Shun Wan Chan, Li Ping, Yiu Wa Kwan, Ge LinAbstract:Abstract Aim Beimu (Bulbus Fritillariae) is a commonly used anti-tussive traditional Chinese herbal medicine and the major Fritillaria alkaloids in the herb are believed to be responsible for its antitussive activity. However, the detailed underlying mechanism and potency of individual Fritillaria alkaloids are still not very clear. Methods In the present study, we investigated and compared the relaxant effect of five major Fritillaria alkaloids [imperialine (IMP), verticine (VER), verticinone (VERN), ebeiedine (EBE) and puqietinone (PUQ)] using rat isolated tracheal and bronchial preparations pre-contracted with carbachol. Results All five Fritillaria alkaloids caused a concentration-dependent relaxation of both tracheal and bronchial preparations with the relative relaxing potency of IMP Conclusion The results demonstrated that the major isosteroidal Fritillaria alkaloids might be the most active constituents responsible for the anti-tussive activity of herbal Beimu with the mechanisms of competitive antagonism of muscarinic pathway and also the inhibition of influx of calcium ions.

chromatographic analysis of Fritillaria isosteroidal alkaloids the active ingredients of beimu the antitussive traditional chinese medicinal herb
Journal of Chromatography A, 2001Co-Authors: Ge Lin, Shun Wan ChanAbstract:Bulbus Fritillariae derived from plants of various Fritillaria species is the most commonly used antitussive traditional Chinese medicinal herb and is called Beimu. Herbs derived from similar and/or different species of Fritillaria are also used in Japan and Turkey as traditional or folk medicines. Isosteroidal alkaloids are the main bioactive ingredients in Fritillaria species. As the contents and structure types of these bioactive alkaloids vary in different Fritillaria species, quality control of these active principles in herbal Beimu is very important to ensure its safe and effective clinical use. This review describes the development of chromatographic analyses for the simultaneous qualitative and quantitative determination of the main bioactive Fritillaria isosteroidal alkaloids in herbal and biological samples. The recently developed direct HPLC-evaporative light scattering detection method is the most simple, selective and sensitive assay, and is readily used as a suitable quality control method for the analysis of the active principles of herbal Beimu.

determination of the major isosteroidal alkaloids in bulbs of Fritillaria by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light scattering detection
Journal of Chromatography A, 2001Co-Authors: Ge Lin, Shun Wan ChanAbstract:A new direct HPLC analytical method using evaporative light scattering detection coupled with a low-temperature adapter for the simultaneous determination of the major biologically active isosteroidal alkaloids in Bulbus Fritillariae, a commonly used antitussive traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) herb, has been developed. The simultaneous separation of eight Fritillaria alkaloids was achieved on a reversed-phase C8 column with an isocratic mobile phase system consisting of acetonitrile-methanol-water (66.5:3.5:30, v/v) containing 0.006% triethylamine. This method provides good reproducibility and sensitivity for the quantification of six major isosteroidal alkaloids, namely peimissine, verticine, verticinone, imperialine, isoverticine and ebeiedine in different Fritillaria species with overall intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy of less than 11% and higher than 90%, respectively. The assay was successfully utilized to quantify the major biologically active alkaloids in five Fritillaria species. The results demonstrate that this method is simple, selective, and suitable for the quality control of this commonly used antitussive TCM herb, Bulbus Fritillariae. reserved.
