Abstract
Inonotus hispidus (I. hispidus), a traditional edible and medicinal fungus, has been widely used in the fields of medicine and health care. Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that this fungus exhibits various biological activities, including antitumor, antioxidant, and hypoglycemic effects. However, the underlying mechanisms linking its antitumor activity to specific chemical constituents have not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, HPLC fingerprints of 11 batches of I. hispidus were established. The inhibitory effects of these samples on 4 T1 and HeLa cells were evaluated using the MTT assay. The correlation between the HPLC fingerprints and antitumor activity was analyzed using grey relational analysis and partial least squares regression. The results indicated that the antitumor activity of I. hispidus was due to the synergistic effects of multiple components. Of these, peaks 3, 5 (hispidin), 6, and 7 were identified as key contributors. Notably, these key components were predominantly enriched in the ethyl acetate fraction. The accuracy of the correlation results was validated by performing in vitro inhibition of 4 T1 cell viability using different extraction solvents. This study provides scientific evidence for the antitumor potential of I. hispidus and helps clarify the spectrum–effect relationship of its active components
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications. Analytical techniques which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly improved analytical performance.
