Abstract
Centella asiatica (L.) Urban (Apiaceae) has been utilized for centuries in traditional medicine systems in Southeast Asia and Southern Africa, including Madagascar. Previous studies have reported evidence of the therapeutic potential of C. asiatica formulations in models of Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias. Caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs) have been identified to be among the pharmacologically relevant metabolites contributing to the botanical's cognitive enhancement and neuroprotective effects. Isomers of CQAs are, however, difficult to differentiate by commonly used LC-MS techniques, making the characterization, standardization, and batch-to-batch consistency of these formulations challenging. Individual CQAs have unique proton Spin Network Fingerprints (pSNFs) that can be used to distinguish between CQA regioisomers within complex extracts. This work describes the development of a CQA-focused pSNF library that can be used to complement LC-MS methods for the accurate metabolite identification and characterization of bioactive C. asiatica fractions and extracts. The isolation of two new (1 and 2) and four known (3-6) CQAs and CQA analogues from C. asiatica and their contribution to the pSNF library are also discussed herein.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
