ABSTRACT
The root and rhizome of Polygonum cuspidatum (Hu-Zhang) has been used for treatment of various inflammatory disorders in China. In our pervious study, we found that three fractions (HZE-30, HZE-60 and HZE-95) from the ethanol extract of Hu-Zhang (HZE) all could inhibit NO production, and HZE-60 shows the most potent anti-inflammatory activity. In order to understand the major contribution constituents of Hu-Zhang responsible for its anti-inflammatory effect, quantitative composition-activity relationship method was performed. Firstly, the constituents in HZE-60 were characterized using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) approach. Second, quantitative analyzed five major constituents identified in HZE-60 and compare the difference of five major constituents in HZE and three anti-inflammatory activity fractions. Finally, evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of major constituents in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 macrophages. The results showed that a total of 31 compounds were identified from HZE-60, including 12 anthraquinones, 7 diphenylethenes, 9 phenols and 3 others. The contents of five major constituents (polydatin (6), resveratrol (7), emodin-1-O-ß-d-glucoside (15), emodin-8-O-ß-d-glucoside (21) and emodin (31)) were simultaneously determined by UPLC-PDA with good linearity (correlation coefficients > 0.9990) and satisfactory repeatability (RSD < 0.99 %), precision (RSD < 0.01 %), stability (RSD < 0.67 %) and recoveries (99.52 %-101.23 %, RSD < 0.91 %). All five major constituents could be detected in HZE and HZE-60 fraction, but only 6 was detected in HZE-30, and 31 in HZE-95. Moreover, 7, 15 and 21 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity via suppressing supernatant pro-inflammatory mediators, such as NO, tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). Therefore, we conclude that the bioactivity of HZE is the syngeneic effect of its constituents, and 7, 15 and 21 should make great contributions for the anti-inflammatory effect of Hu-Zhang. The findings define the anti-inflammatory chemical constituents of Hu-Zhang, which will benefit further investigation on its quality control and the mechanism of action.
