The husks of Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge were explored resulting in the isolation of nine undescribed compounds and seven known compounds. Their structures were defined by NMR spectroscopic techniques, HRESIMS analyses and DP4+ possibility analysis. Three of them showed evident inhibition on NO productions in LPS-induced BV-2 cells by controlling the expression of the nuclear factor-kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Furthermore, they also markedly decreased the expression of the proteins COX-2 and iNOS. In addition, most compounds showed no cytotoxicity against Hep 3B, A549, HCT 116, AGS, MCF-7 cell lines. These findings showed that the husks of X. sorbifolia might have considerable potential for the prevention of inflammation-related neurodegenerative disorders.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers focused on the husks of Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge due to their rich resources and pharmacological potential, identifying barrigenol-like triterpenoid saponins as key bioactive components.
  • Using a technique called feature-based molecular networking (FBMN), they isolated six new barrigenol-type saponins and fourteen known ones from the plant extract, determining their structures through advanced spectroscopic methods.
  • The study evaluated the antitumor activities of the isolated compounds, finding that compounds 7, 9, and 10 exhibited significant inhibition of cancer cell lines A549 and HepG2 in a dose-dependent manner.

Oriented Deep Eutectic Solvents as Efficient Approach for Selective Extraction of Bioactive Saponins from Husks of Bunge.

Jiangsu Co-Innovation Center of Efficient Processing and Utilization of Forest Resources, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China.

The husks of Bunge (), as by-products of industrial production, have brought a severe burden to the environment and caused an enormous waste of resources. Bioactive triterpenoid saponins are rich in the husks. To reuse the husks and gain high-quality saponin products, saponin-oriented deep eutectic solvents (DESs), as an efficient and selective extraction strategy from husks, were designed for the first time.

Background: Microbial-derived metabolites play important roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, yet how intestinal microbes influence AD progression remains uncertain. Xanthoceraside (XAN), a triterpenoid saponin with anti-AD activity, was extracted from the husks of Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge. However, it is still unclear that how XAN modulates the gut microbiota community to regulate AD progression through changing the levels of microbial-derived metabolites.
