  • Article: LC–DAD–MS Method for Analysis of Pomiferin and Osajin, Major Isoflavones in Maclura pomifera (Rafin.) Schneider
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Pomiferin and osajin are major bioactive isoflavones found in Maclura pomifera (Rafin.) Schneider (Moraceae). A simple, reproducible, and sensitive method for analysis of pomiferin and osajin in different parts of M. pomifera has been developed and validated. The compounds were separated on a C8 column by gradient elution at a flow rate at 1.0mLmin−1. Column eluent was monitored at 280nm by use of a diode-array detector. Linear range, peak purity, selectivity, system performance, precision, accuracy, and robustness were shown to be acceptable. LC–MS with atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization was used for identification of the compounds; use of positive-ion mode resulted in protonated pseudomolecular ions of the compounds.

    ABSTRACT: Five new triterpene saponins, 3-O-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-d-glucuronopyranosyl-22-O-beta,beta-dimethylacryloyl-A1-barrigenol (1), 3-O-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-d-glucuronopyranosyl-22-O-angeloyl-R1-barrigenol (2), 3-O-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-d-glucuronopyranosyl-21-O-acetyl-22-O-angeloyl-R1-barrigenol (3), 3-O-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-d-glucuronopyranosyl-21-O-acetyl-22-O-beta,beta-dimethylacryloyl-R1-barrigenol (4), and 3-O-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-d-glucuronopyranosyl-22-O-angeloyl-28-O-acetyl-R1-barrigenol (5), were isolated from the roots of Eryngium campestre. Their structures were established mainly by 2D NMR techniques and mass spectrometry. Compounds 1-4 and 3-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)]-beta-d-glucuronopyranosyl-22-O-beta,beta-dimethylacryloyl-A1-barrigenol, previously isolated from the same plant, showed a weak cytotoxicity when tested against HCT 116 and HT 29 human colon cancer cells.
