Vanillic Acid as a Promising Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor: Extraction from Amomum villosum Lour and Biocompatibility Improvement via Extract Nanoemulsion.

ABSTRACT: Gout is an oxidative stress-related disease. Food-derived vanillic acid, a promising xanthine oxidase inhibitor, could potentially be used as a safe, supportive, and therapeutic product for gout. The extraction of vanillic acid from a classic Chinese herbal plant Amomum villosum with ethanol was investigated in the study. The optimum conditions were determined as extraction time of 74 min, extraction temperature of 48.36 °C, and a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:35 g·mL-1 using the Box-Behnken design (BBD) of response surface methodology (RSM). The experimental extraction yield of 9.276 mg·g-1 matched with the theoretical value of 9.272 ± 0.011 mg·g-1 predicted by the model. The vanillic acid in Amomum villosum was determined to be 0.5450 mg·g-1 by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) under the optimum extraction conditions and exhibited xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activity, with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 1.762 mg·mL-1. The nanoemulsion of Amomum villosum extract consists of 49.97% distilled water, 35.09% Smix (mixture of tween 80 and 95% ethanol with 2:1 ratio), and 14.94% n-octanol, with a particle size of 110.3 ± 1.9 nm. The nanoemulsion of Amomum villosum extract exhibited markable XO inhibitory activity, with an inhibition rate of 58.71%. The result demonstrated the potential benefit of Amomum villosum as an important dietary source of xanthine oxidase inhibitors for gout.

Project description:BackgroundGenuine Chinese medicine is produced from medicinal plant cultivated in a specific region and is of better quality and efficacy, more consistently qualified and famous than that from the same medicinal plant cultivated in other regions. The cultivating region of genuine medicinal plant is known as the genuine producing area. Yangchun City, which is in Guangdong Province of China, is a genuine producing area for the famous Chinese medicine Amomi Fructus (also called Sharen). Amomi Fructus is the ripe and dry fruit of the Zingiberaceae plant A. villosum Lour.. A. villosum was introduced from the Persian Gulf region and has been cultivated in China for over 1000 years. Until now there are no reports on screening for good germplasm of A. villosum.MethodsThe contents of volatile oil and bornyl acetate of Amomi Fructus from 14 populations were determined with GC method, and the relative contents of the main chemical components in the volatile oils were determined with GC-MS method. Evaluation and variance analysis of the comprehensive quality of the 14 samples were conducted by means of a multi-indicator entropy-weight TOPSIS model (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) combined with OPLS-DA (Orthogonal Partial Least Squares Discrimination Analysis) and HCA (Hierarchical Clustering Analysis). The ISSR (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat) molecular marker technique and the UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means) were employed to analyze the genetic relationship among A. villosum populations.ResultsThe contents of volatile oil and bornyl acetate differed significantly among the different populations, but the main chemical component in the volatile oil was the same in all the samples, which was bornyl acetate. OPLS-DA results showed that 9 indicators were the main factors influencing the quality differences among the 14 populations. The entropy-weight TOPSIS results showed that there were significant differences in the comprehensive qualities of the 12 populations from the genuine producing area. The best quality of fruit was found in the genuine producing area of Chunwan Town; the qualities of 33% of genuine fruits were lower than that of non-genuine fruits. Twenty-three DNA fragments were obtained by ISSR-PCR amplification using four ISSR primers, eleven of which were polymorphic loci, which accounted for 47.8%. The similarity coefficients (GS) of different populations of A. villosum ranged from 0.6087 to 0.9565.ConclusionThere are significant differences among different populations of A. villosum in terms of the kinds of major chemical components and their contents, comprehensive quality and genetic diversity. The germplasm resources of A. villosum are rich in the genuine producing area. It means superior germplasm could be selected in the area. The comprehensive quality of the fruit of A. villosum from the non-genuine producing area is better than some of that from genuine producing area, proving that the non-genuine producing area can also produce Amomi Fructus with excellent quality.

Project description:BackgroundAmomum villosum Lour. is the plant that produces the famous traditional Chinese medicine Amomi Fructus. Frequent habitat destruction seriously threatens A. villosum germplasm resources. Genetic diversity is very important to the optimization of germplasm resources and population protection, but the range of inherited traits within A. villosum is unclear. In this study, we analyzed the genetic diversity and genetic structures of A. villosum populations in Guangdong and constructed a local reference DNA barcode library as a resource for conservation efforts.MethodsDNA barcoding and Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers were used to investigate the population genetics of A. villosum. Five universal DNA barcodes were amplified and used in the construction of a DNA barcode reference library. Parameters including percentage of polymorphic sites (PPB), number of alleles (Na), effective number of alleles (Ne), Nei's gene diversity index (H), and Shannon's polymorphism information index (I) were calculated for the assessment of genetic diversity. Genetic structure was revealed by measuring Nei's gene differentiation coefficient (Gst), total population genetic diversity (Ht), intra-group genetic diversity (Hs), and gene flow (Nm). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), Mantel tests, unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrogram, and principal co-ordinates (PCoA) analysis were used to elucidate the genetic differentiation and relationship among populations.ResultsA total of 531 sequences were obtained from the five DNA barcodes with no variable sites from any of the barcode sequences. A total of 66 ISSR bands were generated from A. villosum populations using the selected six ISSR primers; 56 bands, 84.85% for all the seven A. villosum populations were polymorphic. The A. villosum populations showed high genetic diversity (H = 0.3281, I = 0.4895), whereas the gene flow was weak (Nm = 0.6143). Gst (0.4487) and AMOVA analysis indicated that there is obvious genetic differentiation amongA. villosum populations and more genetic variations existed within each population. The genetic relationship of each population was relatively close as the genetic distances were between 0.0844 and 0.3347.
