The study was an extension of our earlier work on antiinflammatory and anticancer properties of fruit. We aimed to develop a bioassay guided multistep purification technique for producing bioactive fractions of crude extracts. Dried fruit powder was sequentially fractionated with 100% dichloromethane, 100% methanol (MeOH), and 50% MeOH. Active extracts were subjected to liquid-liquid partitioning followed by subfractionation using RP-HPLC. Antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and anticancer activities of the fruit extracts, and their potent fractions were evaluated , while identification of compounds from the bioactive fractions was performed by ESI-MS/MS analysis. The amount of the identified compounds present was confirmed using external standards adopting a simple, accurate, and rapid analytical HPLC method. The results showed that 100% and 50% MeOH extracts possessed bioactivity; one of which (the 50% MeOH extract) displayed potent activity in all bioassays. MeOH extract (50%) derived fraction C and hydroalcoholic fraction 5 (GAHAF5) were observed to possess higher antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and anticancer activity. IC of GAHAF5 against MCF-7, HEp-2, and NCI-H522 cancer cells was recorded as 26.2, 51.4, and 63 g/mL, respectively. ESI-MS/MS and HPLC analysis identified catechin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and morin as potential bioactive compounds in the GAHAF5 fraction with concentrations of 1230, 491, 957, and 130 g/g, respectively. The findings indicated that bioactive fractions possessed antiinflammatory activity and were cytotoxic against breast cancer, lung cancer, and laryngeal cancer cell lines.
本研究是我们早期关于水果抗炎和抗癌特性研究的延伸。我们旨在开发一种基于生物活性测定的多步纯化技术,以生产粗提物的生物活性级分。干燥的水果粉末依次用 100%二氯甲烷、100%甲醇(MeOH)和 50% MeOH 进行分步提取。活性提取物进行液液萃取,然后用反相高效液相色谱法(RP-HPLC)进行亚分级。评估了水果提取物及其有效级分的抗氧化、抗炎和抗癌活性,并通过 ESI-MS/MS 分析鉴定了生物活性级分中的化合物。采用简单、准确、快速的 HPLC 分析方法,通过外标法对存在的化合物的量进行了确认。结果表明,100%和 50% MeOH 提取物具有生物活性;其中一种(50% MeOH 提取物)在所有生物测定中均表现出较强的活性。MeOH 提取物(50%)衍生的 C 级分和水醇提取物 5(GAHAF5)被观察到具有较高的抗氧化、抗炎和抗癌活性。GAHAF5 对 MCF-7、HEp-2 和 NCI-H522 癌细胞的 IC 分别为 26.2、51.4 和 63μg/mL。ESI-MS/MS 和 HPLC 分析鉴定出 GAHAF5 级分中的儿茶素、绿原酸、咖啡酸和桑色素为潜在的生物活性化合物,浓度分别为 1230、491、957 和 130μg/g。研究结果表明,生物活性级分具有抗炎活性,对乳腺癌、肺癌和喉癌细胞系具有细胞毒性。
