Coptis chinensis Franch. is a perennial medicinal plant with huge economic and social benefits, but how altitude affects the accumulation of bioactive compounds through microbial ecosystems remains unexplored. This study examined how microbial communities at different altitudes influence the bioactive components of Coptis chinensis, to help identify beneficial microorganisms for application to its rhizomes. Samples of Coptis chinensis were cultivated at four different altitudes in Shizhu, Chongqing. To characterize the phytochemical profile of Coptis chinensis, nine specific alkaloids were quantified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), with Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) subsequently employed to characterize differential metabolite accumulation at each altitude. Microbial community structure in the rhizomes was analyzed by metagenomic sequencing. Results indicated that the contents of groenlandicine, coptisine, berberine, and total alkaloids increased with altitude, with the total alkaloid content rising from 15.97% at 907 m to 17.82% at 1698 m (P < 0.01). Analysis revealed 912 differential metabolites, with distinct accumulation patterns at different altitudes. Microbial diversity in the rhizomes also varied by altitude, with significant shifts in Mucoromycota, Pseudomonadota, Rhizophagus, and Mesorhizobium populations. Moreover, the relative abundance of these microorganisms was intricately linked to alkaloid content. High altitude significantly enhances alkaloid accumulation in C. chinensis, and this effect is primarily mediated by the enrichment of beneficial endophytes, which promote the biosynthesis of target alkaloids via optimizing nitrogen utilization and inducing the expression of key enzymes.
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE:Reynoutria japonica has been utilized as a potential treatment for gastrointestinal disorders in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). However, the efficacy and mechanism of its aqueous extracts on damp-heat ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY:Investigating the modulating effect of aqueous extracts of Reynoutria japonica (AERJ) on gut microbiota and fecal metabolisms in mice with damp-heat UC. METHODS:UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used for the compositional characterization of the AERJ. BALB/c mice were used as a model for establishing damp-heat UC. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) method were conducted to observe the pathological changes in the colon. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for quantitative analysis of relevant physiological indicators. 16 S rRNA gene sequencing was employed to detect changes in gut microbiota in mice. In addition, metabolomics analysis was performed on mice feces. Finally, the aforementioned indicators underwent correlation analysis. RESULTS:Seven components within the AERJ were qualitatively identified by chromatographic analysis. The AERJ alleviated the symptoms in damp-heat UC mice, suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors, attenuated mucosal damage, improved water-fluid metabolism, and regulated the gut microbiota composition. Differential metabolites in feces were mainly enriched in the amino acid metabolic pathway, and AERJ was able to upregulate the expression levels of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Meanwhile, the present study found that physiological indicators were significantly correlated with both the gut microbiota and SCFAs. CONCLUSION:AERJ showed significant therapeutic effects on damp-heat UC mice, and its mechanism of action may be related to altering the composition of gut microbiota, regulating amino acid metabolism and the content of SCFAs and thus restoring the mucosal integrity and inflammatory response.

Plant phenolic compounds have attracted considerable attention because of their health benefits. This study aimed to investigate the composition and antioxidant activity of phenol extracts from Polygonatum zanlanscianense Pamp. steam and leaf (PPP). The FTIR, UPLC-Q-Obtrip-MS, and HPLC−DAD methods were used to analyze the composition of PPP, and 20 phenolic compounds were preliminarily identified. Among them, the contents of hyperin, astragalin, and diosmetin levels were the highest. Treatment with PPP can significantly reduce t-BHP-induced cell damage in HepG2 cells, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Meanwhile, the superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH−Px) activities can be increased. Moreover, PPP enhanced Nrf2 expression, which was consistent with that of heme oxygenase-1 (HO−1), glutamate–cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1), whereas the expression of Keap1, the Nrf2 inhibitor, was decreased. All findings indicate that PPP can serve as a natural bioactive substance for preventing oxidative stress.

Methods Taking the different commodity grades of C. chinensis as the research object, vernier caliper was used to measure proportion of phloem and xylem accurately, colorimeter was used to determine L * , a * and b * values of powder, and ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to detecte the content of total alkaloids in rhizome, phloem and xylem. The content of magnoflorine, groenlandicine,columbamine, jatrorrhizine, epiberberine, coptisine, palmatine and berberine were analyzed by external standard method and multi-components single-marker method. Combined with analysis of variance, correlation analysis, principal component analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis to compare the chemical compounds in phloem and xylem, and find the signature components. Results The larger diameter of the medicinal material had a relatively larger proportion of phloem and xylem. Among them, the proportion of third grade was 0.63, second grade was 0.78, first grade was 0.87 and special grade was 1.01. The color difference values L * , a * and b * of the rhizome and phloem were smaller than those of the xylem. The content of total alkaloids was 15.96% in rhizome, 16.68% in the phloem and 13.53% in the xylem, the alkaloid content in the phloem was significantly higher than that of the xylem(P < 0.001), and there was no significant difference in the total alkaloid content of different grades of C. chinensis. The contents of most compounds showed a decreasing trend with the increase of the commercial grade of C. chinensis, and there was no significant difference between the quantitative results of external standard method and multi-components by single-marker method. There was no significant correlation betweenthe alkaloid content of rhizome and weight, length and ratio of phloem to xylem, but there was a significant negative correlation between the coptisine content and diameter(P < 0.05). The color difference value L * was significantly negatively correlated with jatrorrhizine hydrochloride and coptisine(P < 0.05), extremely significantly negatively correlated with palmatine hydrochloride and berberine(P < 0.01).

Objective: According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome (SDPDS) are caused by abnormal water metabolism in the body because of spleen dysfunction. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the efficacy of D-limonene (DL) in resolving phlegm in mice with SDPDS from the perspective of regulating the level of aquaporin 3 (AQP3). Methods: The model of SDPDS was induced in mice using the multifactor modeling method, which combines internal and external dampness. An artificial climate box was used to create a humid environment, whereas the irregular diet was caused by different feeding methods on odd-even days. The mice were divided into blank control, model group, DL low-dose, DL high-dose, and positive groups. The mice were modeled and treated for 7 day. Levels of gastrin and amylase (AMS) in the serum, mucus secretion in the trachea, and AQP3 in the tissue near the gastric cardia. Results: DL significantly reduced mucus secretion in the trachea ( P < 0.001). It also increased the level of AMS in the serum ( P < 0.01) and decreased the level of AQP3 in the gastric tissue ( P < 0.01). Conclusions: Mice with SDPDS exhibited disturbed water metabolism and significantly increased AQP3 levels. DL can restore the levels of AQP3 and plays an important role in resolving phlegm. This study may also help expand the efficacy of natural drugs containing DL and improve the utilization of natural drug resources.
Chuanxiong (CX, Ligusticum chuanxiong), Japanese Chuanxiong (JCX, Cnidium officinale), Fuxiong (FX, Ligusticum sinense ‘Fuxiong’), and Jinxiong (JX, Ligusticum sinense ‘Jinxiong’) are aromatic herbs used in China, Japan, and other regions. Their morphology and aromatic odor are similar, resulting in confused and mixed uses. This study compares the volatile compositions of these herbs for defining their medical uses. Headspace solid-phase microextraction–gas chromatography–triple quadrupole–mass spectrometry was employed to separate, identify, and quantify the compounds in the volatile gas of the four herbs. A total of 128 volatile compounds were identified and quantified in 23 these herbal samples. The sums of 106, 115, 116, and 120 compounds were detected in the volatile gas of CX, JCX, FX, and JX, with the mean contents of 4.80, 7.12, 7.67, and 12.0 μg/g, respectively. Types and contents of the main compounds were found to be different in the volatile gas of these herbs. The orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis showed the four herbs located in different confined areas or clusters. It is concluded that the volatile compositions in the four herbs are generally similar, but the contents of main volatile compounds are different. These herbs should be clearly differentiated in medical use.

The quality of Paeoniae Radix Alba and Paeoniae Radix Rubra is evaluated by root thickness, and paeoniflorin serves as a common quality indicator of them. However, the correlation between the content of bioactive compounds and the root size is still unclear. Therefore, this study characterized the distribution patterns and content of seven bioactive compounds including paeoniflorin in different tissues of Paeonia lactiflora roots, analyzed the correlation between the root size and the content of bioactive compounds based on the xylem-to-bark ratio, and further determined the index components for quality assessment. Nine samples of fresh P. lactiflora roots were collected from the genuine cultivation area. The distribution of bioactive compounds in different tissues on the cross-section of the root was firstly analyzed by desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging(DESI-MSI). Subsequently, the content of bioactive compounds was determined in the xylems and barks of the roots by UPLC. The compounds with the largest difference between the xylem and the bark were selected by orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA). The results indicated that paeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, gallic acid, and 1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloylglucose were significantly accumulated in the xylems, while albiflorin and catechin were mainly distributed in the barks. Paeoniflorin and albiflorin, with the largest differences in the xylem and the bark, had the highest content in the two tissues. The root diameter was positively correlated with paeoniflorin content and negatively correlated with albiflorin content. As isomers with different efficacies, paeoniflorin or albiflorin can be chosen as the quality marker corresponding to specific clinical application to launch quality classification evaluation of multi-functional Chinese medicines.
