The medicinal plant is an important natural antioxidant resource. To reveal the antioxidants of , high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was employed for metabolic analysis. The HO-induced oxidative damage was used in human embryonic kidney 293T (H293T) cells to assess intracellular antioxidant activities. Cells incubated with flower and fruit extracts showed better cell survival, lower levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and higher catalase and superoxide dismutase activities than those incubated with root, stem, and leaf extracts ( < 0.01). A total of 13 compounds were newly identified as intracellular antioxidants by association analysis, including coniferin, galactinol, trehalose, beta-D-lactose, trigonelline, nicotinamide-N-oxide, shikimic acid, 5'-deoxy-5'-(methylthio)adenosine, salicylic acid, isorhamnetin-3-O-neohespeidoside, methylhesperidin, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and cis-aconitic acid (R > 0.8, LogFC > 1, distribution > 0.1%, and < 0.01). They showed lower molecular weight and higher polarity, compared to previously identified in vitro antioxidants in ( < 0.01). The credibility of HPLC-MS/MS relative quantification was verified by common methods. In conclusion, some saccharides and phenols with low molecular weight and high polarity helped protect H293T cells from oxidative damage by increasing the activities of intracellular antioxidant enzymes and reducing intracellular ROS levels. The results enriched the database of safe and effective intracellular antioxidants in medicinal plants.
药用植物是重要的天然抗氧化剂资源。为揭示[植物名称]的抗氧化剂,采用高效液相色谱-串联质谱法(HPLC-MS/MS)进行代谢分析。利用过氧化氢(HO)诱导的氧化损伤在人胚肾293T(H293T)细胞中评估细胞内抗氧化活性。与用根、茎和叶提取物孵育的细胞相比,用花和果实提取物孵育的细胞显示出更好的细胞存活率、更低的活性氧(ROS)水平以及更高的过氧化氢酶和超氧化物歧化酶活性(P<0.01)。通过关联分析共新鉴定出13种化合物为细胞内抗氧化剂,包括松柏苷、肌醇半乳糖苷、海藻糖、β-D-乳糖、胡芦巴碱、烟酰胺-N-氧化物、莽草酸、5'-脱氧-5'-(甲硫基)腺苷、水杨酸、异鼠李素-3-O-新橙皮糖苷、甲基橙皮苷、4-羟基苯甲酸和顺乌头酸(R>0.8,LogFC>1,分布>0.1%,且P<0.01)。与先前在[植物名称]中鉴定的体外抗氧化剂相比,它们的分子量较低且极性较高(P<0.01)。通过常用方法验证了HPLC-MS/MS相对定量的可信度。总之,一些低分子量和高极性的糖类和酚类通过增加细胞内抗氧化酶的活性和降低细胞内ROS水平,有助于保护H293T细胞免受氧化损伤。这些结果丰富了药用植物中安全有效的细胞内抗氧化剂数据库。
