The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of adlay testa (AT) on Cu(2+)-treated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)-scavenging capacity, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 macrophages and determine its active components. The AT ethanolic extract (ATE) was partitioned into four fractions by various solvents as follows: n-hexane (ATE-Hex), ethyl acetate (ATE-Ea), n-butanol (ATE-Bu), and water (ATE-H(2)O). ATE-Ea and ATE-Bu were further fractionated into ATE-Ea-a-ATE-Ea-h and ATE-Bu-A-ATE-Bu-F, respectively, by column chromatography. Results showed that ATE-Ea, ATE-Bu, ATE-Ea-e, and ATE-Bu-C expressed antiradical, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activities with respect to the DPPH-scavenging capacity, LDL protection effect, and nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity. Inflammation was further modulated by ATE-Ea, ATE-Bu, ATE-Ea-e, and ATE-Bu-C through downregulating the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) proteins. The following components were found in ATE-Ea-e and ATE-Bu-C after purification and high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis: chlorogenic acid (CGA), vanillic acid (VA), caffeic acid (CA), p-coumaric acid (PCA), ferulic acid (FA), and 2-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-7-methoxy-4((2)H)-benzoxazin-3-one (GMBO). Results showed that CGA, CA, and FA were the major components responsible for the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of ATE-Ea-e and ATE-Bu-C. Subsequently, each gram of ATE-Bu-C had 30.3 mg of CGA, 9.02 mg of CA, and 189 mg of GMBO, while each gram of ATE-Ea-e had 1.31 mg of VA, 3.89 mg of PCA, and 47.6 microg of FA. In conclusion, ATE has antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities, and its effects are partially related to its phenolic components. Thus, ATE has the potential to be developed as a functional food targeting chronic diseases.
本研究旨在探讨薏苡仁 testa(AT)对 Cu(2+)处理的低密度脂蛋白(LDL)氧化、2,2'-二苯基-1-苦基肼(DPPH)清除能力以及脂多糖(LPS)诱导的 RAW 264.7 巨噬细胞炎症的影响,并确定其活性成分。将 AT 乙醇提取物(ATE)用各种溶剂分为四个部分:正己烷(ATE-Hex)、乙酸乙酯(ATE-Ea)、正丁醇(ATE-Bu)和水(ATE-H₂O)。通过柱色谱法将 ATE-Ea 和 ATE-Bu 进一步分别分离为 ATE-Ea-a - ATE-Ea-h 和 ATE-Bu-A - ATE-Bu-F。结果表明,ATE-Ea、ATE-Bu、ATE-Ea-e 和 ATE-Bu-C 在 DPPH 清除能力、LDL 保护作用和一氧化氮(NO)抑制活性方面表现出抗自由基、抗氧化和抗炎活性。ATE-Ea、ATE-Bu、ATE-Ea-e 和 ATE-Bu-C 通过下调诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)和环氧化酶 2(COX-2)蛋白的表达进一步调节炎症。经过纯化和高效液相色谱分析后,在 ATE-Ea-e 和 ATE-Bu-C 中发现了以下成分:绿原酸(CGA)、香草酸(VA)、咖啡酸(CA)、对香豆酸(PCA)、阿魏酸(FA)和 2-O-β-吡喃葡萄糖基-7-甲氧基-4((2)H)-苯并恶嗪-3-酮(GMBO)。结果表明,CGA、CA 和 FA 是 ATE-Ea-e 和 ATE-Bu-C 抗氧化和抗炎活性的主要成分。随后,每克 ATE-Bu-C 含有 30.3 毫克 CGA、9.02 毫克 CA 和 189 毫克 GMBO,而每克 ATE-Ea-e 含有 1.31 毫克 VA、3.89 毫克 PCA 和 47.6 微克 FA。总之,ATE 具有抗氧化和抗炎活性,其作用部分与其酚类成分有关。因此,ATE 有潜力被开发为一种针对慢性疾病的功能性食品。
