Objective: To determine the content of huperzine A in the root, stem and leaf of Huperzia serrata from western Hunan, and analyze the relationship between the distribution of huperzine A and the expression of lysine decarboxylase gene in different parts of huperzia serrata.
Methods: The content of huperzine A in the root, stem and leaf of Huperzia serrata was determinated by HPLC, of which the chromatographic column was Diamonsil C18 (250 mm x 4.6 mm,5 microm), mobile phase was methanol-0.08 mol/L CH3COONH4 with flow rate at 1.0 mL/min, column temperature at 25 degrees C and detection wavelength at 308 nm. The expression of lysine decarboxylase gene in different parts of Huperzia serrata was analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, the beta-actin gene was used as internal reference.
Results: Huperzine A had good linear relationships within the range of 0.5 - 10.0 microg/mL, with the recovery rate of 102% and RSD 0.32%. The content of huperzine A in the root,stem and leaf of huperzia serrata was (118.35 +/- 0.77) microg/g and (411.09 +/- 2. 47) microg/g, (562.15 +/- 2.86) microg/g, respectively. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR results showed that lysine decarboxylase gene had nearly identical expression in the root, stem and leaf of Huperzia serrate.
Conclusion: The content of huperzine A changes with different parts of Huperzia serrata, lysine decarboxylase might be not the key enzyme to regulate the biosynthesis of huperzine A.

Huperzine A (Hup A), an extract from Huperzia serrata, exerted its anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation effect to protect against neurodegenerative disorders and organ injury. Ferroptosis was indicated to involve in the development of acute lung injury (ALI) accompanying by lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) overexpressed. However, there is little research focused on the protective effect of Hup A on ALI, and the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive.

During the search for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory compounds from the natural resources, two new serratane triterpenes, 3-O-dihydro-p-coumaroyltohogenol (1) and 21-O-acetyltohogenol (2), along with four known serratane triterpenes (3-6), were isolated from the whole plant of Huperzia serrata. The chemical structures of compounds 1 and 2 were determined by NMR study, HRMS analysis, and chemical modification. All isolates were evaluated for their PTP1B inhibitory activities.
