Abstract
Quantitative analysis of caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs) is challenging due to their structural similarities and susceptibility to isomerization and degradation. To overcome these limitations, a pH-adjusted quantitative 1H NMR (qHNMR) method is proposed for evaluating different CQAs in the extracts using a MeOD/HEPES-d18 buffer. This method was applied to measure the concentrations of chlorogenic acid (1) and 3,5-di-CQA (4) in Cuscuta japonica extract, and of chlorogenic acid (1) in green coffee bean extracts. A comparison of quantum mechanics (QM)-based and non-quantum mechanics-based approaches in qHNMR has shown that the application of QM-qHNMR improves the precision and sustainability of quantitative NMR. In addition, C. japonica extract and its isolated CQAs (1−7) were investigated for anticancer effects against NCI-H2452 cells, showing that methyl di-CQA esters (5 and 7) inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of NCI-H2452 cells, indicating their potential as therapeutic agents for treating malignant pleural mesothelioma.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium directed towards the needs of academic, clinical, government and industrial analysis by publishing original research reports and critical reviews on pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. It covers the interdisciplinary aspects of analysis in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and clinical sciences, including developments in analytical methodology, instrumentation, computation and interpretation. Submissions on novel applications focusing on drug purity and stability studies, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic monitoring, metabolic profiling; drug-related aspects of analytical biochemistry and forensic toxicology; quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry are also welcome.
Studies from areas of well established and poorly selective methods, such as UV-VIS spectrophotometry (including derivative and multi-wavelength measurements), basic electroanalytical (potentiometric, polarographic and voltammetric) methods, fluorimetry, flow-injection analysis, etc. are accepted for publication in exceptional cases only, if a unique and substantial advantage over presently known systems is demonstrated. The same applies to the assay of simple drug formulations by any kind of methods and the determination of drugs in biological samples based merely on spiked samples. Drug purity/stability studies should contain information on the structure elucidation of the impurities/degradants.
