Here we report the comprehensive characterization of the secondary metabolites from the leaves of Smith, a species used as medicinal plant in the traditional medicine of Nepal. Phytochemical screening of bioactives was performed using an integrated LC-MS and high resolution MS (Mass Spectrometry) approach. Forty-three compounds were tentatively identified, mainly aglyconic and glycosilated flavonoids and phenolic acids, as well as other bioactives such as coumarins and terpenes were detected. Furthermore, the NF-κB and AP-1 inhibitory activity of extract were evaluated, as well as its cytotoxicity against THP-1 cells, in order to assess the potential use of this herb as a source of anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic compounds. The results so far obtained indicate that leaves extract could significantly reduce the viability of THP-1 cells (IC = 6.2 ± 1.2 µg/mL), as well as the activation of both NF-κB and AP-1 at the concentration of 2 μg/mL. Our results indicate that Nepalese is a valuable source of anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic compounds. The phytochemical composition reported here can partially justify the traditional uses of in Nepal, especially in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, although further research will be needed to assess the full potential of this species.
我们在此报告了对尼泊尔传统医学中用作药用植物的 Smith 叶的次生代谢产物的全面特征描述。采用集成的 LC-MS 和高分辨率 MS(质谱)方法对生物活性物质进行了植物化学筛选。共鉴定出 43 种化合物,主要为糖苷化和非糖苷化的类黄酮和酚酸,以及其他生物活性物质,如香豆素和萜类化合物。此外,还评估了提取物对 NF-κB 和 AP-1 的抑制活性以及对 THP-1 细胞的细胞毒性,以评估该草药作为抗炎和细胞毒性化合物的潜在用途。迄今为止的结果表明,Smith 叶提取物可显著降低 THP-1 细胞的活力(IC = 6.2 ± 1.2 µg/mL),并在 2 µg/mL 的浓度下抑制 NF-κB 和 AP-1 的激活。我们的结果表明,尼泊尔 Smith 是抗炎和细胞毒性化合物的有价值来源。这里报道的植物化学成分部分可以证明 Smith 在尼泊尔的传统用途,特别是在治疗炎症性疾病方面,尽管需要进一步研究来评估该物种的全部潜力。
