Determination of polyphenols by high-performance liquid chromatography with inhibited chemiluminescence detection.

A chemiluminescence reaction detector was developed for the detection of polyphenols separated by HPLC based on the inhibition of chemiluminescence from the luminol-potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) reaction by polyphenols. The separation was carried out on a RP-C18 column at 37 degrees C by using stepwise gradient elutions. The detection limits are in the range of 6.8 x 10(-7)-2.0 x 10(-9) g/ml for catechol, protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, rutin, resorcinol, hydroquinone and p-tert.butylpyrocatechol. The method is sensitive, selective, fast and simple. It has been successfully applied to the determination of chlorogenic acid and rutin in real tobacco samples.

Antioxidants, low molecular weight carbohydrates, and total antioxidant capacity in strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa): effects of cultivar, ripening, and storage.

Four cultivars of strawberries (Senga Sengana, BFr77111, Elsanta, and Honeoye) were studied for their content of antioxidants, total antioxidant capacity, and low molecular weight carbohydrates in relation to harvest year, ripening stage, and cold storage. For ascorbic acid, chlorogenic acid, ellagic acid, and total antioxidative capacity, measured in both water-soluble and water-insoluble extracts, there was a 2-5-fold variation among cultivars. Unripe berries contained lower concentrations of chlorogenic acid and p-coumaric acid and also quercetin and kaempferol compared with riper berries. During cold storage for up to 3 days, relatively few changes in the concentration of the different antioxidants occurred. The concentrations of several investigated parameters were interrelated, for example, for ascorbic acid and water-soluble antioxidant capacity and for ellagic acid and water-insoluble antioxidant capacity. The dominating sugars in strawberries were fructose and glucose, but considerable amounts of sucrose were also present, and their contents varied among cultivars, giving a predicted glycemic index of approximately 81. Verbascose, raffinose, and stachyose were found in only minor amounts. The study shows that the concentration of a number of bioactive compounds in strawberries varied according to cultivar, ripening stage, and storage. This information should make it possible to select strawberries with an optimal content of bioactive compounds.

Modulation by phytochemicals of cytochrome P450-linked enzyme activity.

Compounds derived from plant sources with putative anticancer properties were studied for their effects on alkoxyresorufin O-dealkylase activity, a measure of cytochrome P450 activity. The phytochemicals investigated included benzyl isothiocyanate, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, diosmin, ferulic acid, indole-3-carbinol, phenethyl isothiocyanate and resveratrol. Each phytochemical at concentrations of 0.25 and 0.5 microM was incubated with 0.2 mg hamster liver microsomal protein and 0.5 microM concentrations of benzyloxyresorufin, ethoxyresorufin and methoxyresorufin. Three of the phytochemicals tested, namely benzyl isothiocyanate, phenethyl isothiocyanate and resveratrol, exhibited potent inhibition of alkoxyresorufin O-dealkylase activity. Benzyl isothiocyanate inhibited benzyloxyresorufin O-dealkylase (BROD) activity, ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity and methoxyresorufin O-demethylase (MROD) activity by 90% at both the 0.25 and 0.5 microM concentrations. Phenethyl isothiocyanate inhibited BROD activity by 69%, EROD activity by 90% and MROD activity by 94% at both concentrations tested. Resveratrol inhibited BROD activity by 69% at the 0.25 microM concentration and by 78% at the 0.5 microM concentration. It inhibited EROD activity by 60% at the 0.25 microM concentration and by 80% at the 0.5 microM concentration. Resveratrol exhibited the greatest inhibitory action toward MROD, i.e. 76% and 84% at the two concentrations tested. Chlorogenic acid significantly affected BROD, EROD and MROD activity only at the 0.5 microM concentration inhibiting by 51%, 47% and 54%, respectively. Caffeic acid affected BROD and MROD activity at 0.5 microM only inhibiting BROD activity by 46% and MROD activity by 40%. Diosmin inhibited EROD activity by 11% at the 0.25 microM concentration and by 61% at 0.5 microM. It inhibited MROD by 47% and 54% at the two concentrations tested but did not significantly alter BROD activity. Ferulic acid significantly inhibited EROD and MROD activity at the 0.5 microM concentration by 28% and 32%, respectively. Indole-3-carbinol significantly inhibited BROD activity by 26% at 0.25 microM and by 42% at 0.5 microM. It inhibited EROD and MROD activity by 28% and 29% at 0.5 microM, respectively. The alkoxyresorufin O-dealkylase reactions are selective for various isoforms of cytochrome P450. Our results suggest that the phytochemicals we tested have varied effects on the enzymatic activity of isoforms of cytochrome P450 that dealkylate benzyloxyresorufin, methoxyresorufin and ethoxyresorufin and therefore may have varied effects on the metabolism of substrates for these isoforms.

Antiinflammatory activity of extracts and fractions from the leaves of Gochnatia polymorpha.

The aqueous and ethanol extracts from the leaves of Gochnatia polymorpha and further fractions obtained from the latter extract using solvents with increasing polarity, including its aqueous residue and the amino acid, 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-proline were investigated by carrageenin-induced pedal oedema formation. It was shown that the aqueous and ethanol extracts and the ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated significant antiinflammatory activity. The chemical investigation of the latter fraction revealed the presence of caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, 3-0-methylquercetin, hyperosid and rutin. The amino acid 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-proline, a nonprotein amino acid that has not been reported before in the Asteraceae was isolated as a major compound and identified by spectroscopic methods.

Genetic diversity in seed populations of Echinacea purpurea controls the capacity for regeneration, route of morphogenesis and phytochemical composition.

The production of new varieties and higher quality products from Echinacea spp. requires a greater understanding of the regulation of plant growth and the production of specific phytometabolites. The current studies were designed to generate elite varieties of Echinacea purpurea based on regeneration efficiency and chemical profile. Clonal propagation of seedling-derived regenerants and screening for antioxidant potential and concentrations of caftaric acid, chlorogenic acid, cichoric acid, cynarin, and echinacoside identified 58 unique germplasm lines. Chemical profiles varied significantly among germplasm lines but were consistent within clones of each line. In temporary immersion bioreactors, exogenous application of the auxin indolebutyric acid significantly increased the cichoric acid and caftaric acid concentration in the root tissues. Together, these demonstrate the potential for selective breeding of elite, highly regenerative, chemically superior, clonally propagated varieties from the naturally occurring genetic variability in the seed populations of E. purpurea.

Effects of plant-derived flavonoids and polyphenolic acids on the activity of mutagens from cooked food.

The ability of 3 plant flavonoids (morin, myricetin and quercetin) and 4 polyphenolic acids (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, ellagic acid and ferulic acid) to inhibit the genotoxic effects of a number of cooked-food mutagens (IQ, MeIQ, MeIQx, Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2), was investigated in a bacterial mutation assay using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 as indicator and hepatic S9 mixes from either SWR mice or Syrian hamsters as metabolic activating systems. Although the polyphenolic acids failed to have an effect, the flavonoids generally inhibited IQ, MeIQ, MeIQx and Trp-P-1 induced mutagenesis in a dose-dependent manner, irrespective of the source of S9. This was not the case with Trp-P-2 where the flavonoids were only observed to inhibit when SWR mouse S9 but not Syrian hamster S9 was used. Of the 3 compounds, myricetin and quercetin were superior to morin in their inhibitory capacity.

Reduction and release of ferritin iron by plant phenolics.

The reductive release of ferritin iron by several naturally occurring o-diphenols was studied. The initial rate of iron release was quantified by spectrophotometric measurement of the Fe(ferrozine)3(2+) complex, which absorbs maximally at 562 nm. The initial rate of iron release was dependent upon o-diphenol concentration, but not on the concentration of the chromophoric chelating agent, ferrozine, Stoichiometric measurements resulted in a ratio of 2Fe(II) released per molecule of o-diphenol. The series of o-diphenols studied included, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, dihydrocaffeic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and several analogs. These reductants represent an oxidation reduction potential range of 0.38 volts. A direct correlation between reducing power of the o-diphenols and rate of ferritin iron release was observed. Superoxide dismutase, catalase, mannitol, or general radical traps had no effect on the rate of iron removal; however, EDTA and oxalate inhibited iron release. A mechanism for ferritin iron reduction and release by o-diphenols consistent with the experimental observations is discussed.

Stabilization of caffeic acid derivatives in Echinacea purpurea L. glycerin extract.

Recent work has shown that enzymatic degradation and oxidation of cichoric acid and other caffeic derivatives occurs in Echinacea preparations. However, very little is known as to the means of stabilizing these phytopreparations. To stabilize the glycerin extract of Echinacea purpurea, we have evaluated the effects of 3 natural antioxidants (citric acid, malic acid, and hibiscus extract) on the stability of the major caffeic acid derivatives (caftaric acid, caffeic acid, cichoric acid, and 2-O-feruloyl-tartaric acid). Chlorogenic acid, which normally occurs in an ethanol extract of E. purpurea, was not present in the glycerin extract. The caffeic acid derivatives, with the exception of 2-O-feruloyl-tartaric acid, were subject to degradation in the control sample. 2-O-Feruloyl-tartaric acid was stable during the whole testing period. All antioxidant treatments greatly improved the stability of caffeic acid derivatives. Stability was dependent upon the concentration of antioxidant added.

Inhibitory effects of plant phenols on the activity of selected enzymes.

Selected enzymes (alpha-amylase, trypsin, and lysozyme) were allowed to react with some simple phenolic and related compounds (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, m-, o-, and p-dihydroxybenzenes, quinic acid, and p-benzoquinone). The derivatized enzymes obtained were characterized in terms of their activity. In vitro experiments showed that the enzymatic activity of the derivatives was adversely affected. This enzyme inhibition depended on the reactivity of the phenolic and related substances tested as well as on the kind of substrate applied. The decrease in the activity was accompanied by a reduction in the amount of free amino and thiol groups, as well as tryptophan residues, which resulted from the covalent attachment of the phenolic and related compounds to these reactive nucleophilic sites in the enzymes. The enzyme inhibition correlates well with the blocking of the mentioned amino acid side chains.

Determination of free and total phenolic acids in plant-derived foods by HPLC with diode-array detection.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with diode-array detection (DAD) was used to identify and quantify free and total phenolic acids (m-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, o-coumaric acid, m-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, sinapic acid, chlorogenic acid, and ellagic acid) in plant foods. Free phenolic acids were extracted with a mixture of methanol and 10% acetic acid. Bound phenolic acids were liberated using first alkaline and then acid hydrolysis followed by extraction with diethyl ether/ethyl acetate (1:1). All fractions were quantified separately by HPLC. After HPLC quantification, results of alkali and acid hydrolysates were calculated to represent total phenolic acids. Ellagic acid was quantified separately after long (20 h) acid hydrolysis. The methods developed were effective for the determination of phenolic acids in plant foods. DAD response was linear for all phenolic acids within the ranges evaluated, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.999. Coefficients of variation for 4-8 sample replicates were consistently below 10%. Recovery tests of phenolic acids were performed for every hydrolysis condition using several samples. Recoveries were generally good (mean >90%) with the exceptions of gallic acid and, in some cases, caffeic acid samples.

Identification and characterization of foliar polyphenolic composition in sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) genotypes.

Trials over two years were conducted using 1389 sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) genotypes collected from all over the world to characterize the polyphenolic composition in sweetpotato leaves. Wide variation was observed in relation to their total and individual leaf polyphenolic constituents. In all genotypes studied, the total polyphenol contents of sweetpotato leaf ranged from 1.42 to 17.1 g/100 g dry weight. The six different polyphenolic compounds were identified and quantified by NMR, FABMS, and RPHPLC analysis procedures. This is the first report of polyphenolic compositions in sweetpotato leaves. The relative levels of polyphenolic acids in sweetpotato leaves were as follows: 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid > 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid > chlorogenic acid (3-O-caffeoylquinic acid) > 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid > 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid > caffeic acid. The highest 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid occurred at 221 and 1183.30 mg/100 g dry weight, respectively.

Echinacoside and caffeoyl conjugates protect collagen from free radical-induced degradation: a potential use of Echinacea extracts in the prevention of skin photodamage.

The protective effect of caffeoyl derivatives (echinacoside, chlorogenic acid, chicoric acid, cynarine, and caffeic acid, typical constituents of Echinacea species) on the free radical-induced degradation of Type III collagen has been investigated. The macromolecule was exposed to a flux of oxygen radicals (superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical) generated by the xanthine/xanthine oxidase/Fe2+/EDTA system and its degradation assessed qualitatively by SDS-PAGE and quantitatively as the amount of soluble peptides (according to the 4-hydroxyproline method) released from native collagen after oxidative stress. The SDS-PAGE pattern of native collagen is markedly modified by free radical attack, with formation of a great number of peptide fragments with molecular masses below 97 kDa: in the presence of microM concentrations of echinacoside, there is a complete recovery of the native profile. Collagen degradation was, in fact, dose-dependently inhibited by all the compounds, with the following order of potency: echinacoside approximately chicoric acid > cynarine approximately caffeic acid > chlorogenic acid, with IC50 ranging from 15 to 90 microM. These results indicate that this representative class of polyphenols of Echinacea species protects collagen from free radical damage through a scavenging effect on reactive oxygen species and/or C-, N-, S-centered secondary radicals, and provide an indication for the topical use of extracts from Echinacea species for the prevention/treatment of photodamage of the skin by UVA/UVB radiation, in which oxidative stress plays a crucial role.

Activity of artichoke leaf extract on reactive oxygen species in human leukocytes.

Artichoke leaf extract was studied in human leukocytes for activity against oxidative stress using flow cytometry and dichlorofluorescin diacetate as a fluorescence probe. It produces a concentration-dependent inhibition of oxidative stress when cells are stimulated with agents that generate reactive oxygen species (ROS): hydrogen peroxide, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). Cynarin, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, and luteolin, constituents of artichoke leaf extract, also show a concentration-dependent inhibitory activity in the above models, contributing to the antioxidant activity of the extract in human neutrophils.

[Identification of chemical structure of antibacterial components against Legionella pneumophila in a coffee beverage].

We previously reported that certain constituents in brewed coffee exhibited antibacterial activities against a strain of Legionella pneumophila. The constituents showing antibacterial activities were included only in extracts cold with water or hot water. To determine the antibacterial substances in coffee extract, the extract was fractionated by HPLC using a UV/photodiode array detector. The optimum HPLC conditions for analysis were UV wavelength of 250 nm and eluents of methanol/acetic acid (10/90), pH 3.0. When several fractions separated by HPLC were investigated for antibacterial activities against L. pneumophila, it was found that three peak fractions exhibited strong antibacterial activities. Each product from these fractions was analyzed by NMR and LC-mass spectrometry, and the chemical structure of each was determined. It was shown that the antibacterial substances was were protocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid), chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid.

[Simultaneous determination of five groups of components in qingkailing injection by high performance liquid chromatography with photo diode array detector and evaporative light scattering detector].

A method was established for the simultaneous quantification of nine components of five different structural types in Qingkailing injection. High performance liquid chromatography coupled with a photo diode array detector and an evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC-DAD-ELSD) was employed in the determination. Four monitoring wavelengths of 240, 254, 280 and 330 nm were set to determine nucleosides (uridine and adenosine), iridoid glucoside (geniposide), flavone glycoside (baicalin) and organic acids (chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid) respectively, and a combined evaporative light scattering detector was used to detect three steroid compounds (cholic acid, ursodesoxycholic acid and hyodeoxycholic acid). The proposed method permitted the simultaneous separation and determination of five groups of compounds in Qingkailing injection, and acceptable validation results of the precision, repeatability, stability and accuracy tests were achieved. The method was applied to the analysis of 19 Qingkailing injection samples from three different plants, and the results indicated that the method could be used as a convenient and reliable method in the multi-component determination and quality control of traditional Chinese medicines.

Amine oxidase-like activity of polyphenols. Mechanism and properties.

Polyphenols in several oxidation systems gained amine oxidase-like activity, probably due to the formation of the corresponding quinones. In the presence of Cu(II), o- and p-phenolic compounds exhibited amine oxidase-like activity, whereas only the o-phenolic compounds showed the activity in the presence of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical. The activity was determined by measuring the conversion of benzylamine to benzaldehyde by HPLC. Moreover, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid, which are plant polyphenols, converted the lysine residue of bovine serum albumin to alpha-amino-adipic semialdehyde residue, indicating lysyl oxidase-like activity. We also characterized the activity of pyrocatechol, hydroquinone, and pyrogallol in the presence of Cu(II). The oxidative deamination was accelerated at a higher pH, and required O2 and transition metal ions. Furthermore, EDTA markedly inhibited the reaction but not beta-aminopropionitrile, which is a specific inhibitor of lysyl oxidase. Catalase significantly inhibited the oxidation, implying the participation of hydroxyl radical in the reaction, but superoxide dismutase stimulated the oxidation, probably due to its radical formation activity. We discussed the mechanism of the oxidative deamination by polyphenols and the possible significance of the activity for biological systems.

Induction of the differentiation of HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells by curcumin in combination with low levels of vitamin D3.

Previous studies have shown that an antisense phosphorothioate oligonucleotide to the Rel A subunit of NF- kappa B, as well as vitamin E and related antioxidants, significantly enhanced the differentiation of HL-60 leukemia cells when combined with low levels of 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D3) an effect accompanied by a marked inhibition of the transcription factor, NF-kappa B. Curcumin, a potent inhibitor of tumor promotion and of tumor cell growth, has also been shown to have antioxidant properties and to inhibit NF-kappa b. to ascertain whether curcumin would also enhance the differentiation of HL-60 leukemia cells produced by vitamin D3, presumably by interfering with NF- kappa B activity, the effects of curcumin on the differentiation of HL-60 cells produced by low levels of vitamin D3 were measured. Curcumin used alone did not produce a significant degree of differentiation of HL-60 cells; however, this agent markedly enhanced the expression of differentiation markers induced by low levels of vitamin D3. Curcumin also increased the differentiation of HL-60 cells when combined with vitamin D analogues (1,25-dihydroxy-16-ene-23-yne vitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxy-16-ene vitamin D3) that share the receptor binding properties of vitamin D3, whereas as vitamin D analogue (1,25-dihydroxy-16,23-diene vitamin D3) that caused significant calcium mobilization, but was less effective than vitamin d3 in binding the receptor, did not cause the differentiation of HL-60 cells in the presence or absence of curcumin. Several dietary compounds structurally related to curcumin (i.e., caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, and ferulic acid) did not increase the differentiation of HL-60 cells produced by vitamin D3. However, the more lipophilic ethyl of ferulic and caffeic acid were capable of inducing the differentiation of HL-60 cells, as well as enhancing the maturation produced by vitamin D3. Curcumin caused a marked reduction in NF-kappa B activity in nuclear extracts of HL-60 cells exposed to this agent in the presence or absence of vitamin D3, supporting the possibility that NF-kappa B may be a factor in the regulation of the state of differentiation of leukemia cells.
