Abstract
This study provides a rapid and accurate method for screening steroid 5-alpha reductase (S5αR) inhibitors in Impatiens balsamina Linn (IB). using at-line LC-QTOF-ESI-MS/MS coupling S5αR inhibitory assay. IB (Balsaminaceae) is an annual herbaceous plant cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. It has been used in traditional Chinese and Thai medicine for treatment of hair loss and various skin conditions, potentially through anti-androgenic mechanisms. A combined approach of S5αR inhibitory assay and LC-QTOF-ESI-MS/MS was developed to rapidly screen for target biomarkers and guide their isolation using preparative HPLC. The toxicity of both the extract and isolated biomarkers was evaluated on skin cells, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts. Eight bioactive compounds were identified as two naphthoquinone, two fatty acid derivatives, three nitrogenous compounds and one aromatic derivative. The most potent bioactive markers, identified as 2-methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (2MN) and impateinol, were targeted and isolated using preparative HPLC, yielding 5.0 % and 3.5 %, respectively. These compounds exhibited S5αR inhibitory activity higher than that of finasteride drug by 10 and 2 times, respectively. Both the isolated biomarkers and the extract demonstrated a broad therapeutic index. The developed method in this study proved to be both rapid and accurate, making it suitable for screening and targeting S5αR inhibitors in herbal plants or complex matrix samples. It facilitated the fast-guided isolation of bioactive compounds, highlighting its potential for future applications in drug discovery research.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
