In view of the molecular structure of Aristolochic acid I (AA-I) and Aristolochic acid II (AA-II), MIL-101(Fe) was selected as the sorbent to develop a dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) method for capturing the two analytes from Houttuynia cordata. The interactions between the sorbent and analytes were investigated by FT-IR, XPS and UV-Vis DRS spectra. The optimized method demonstrated good linearity with R > 0.9999. The limit of detections (LODs) were 0.007 mg/L and 0.014 mg/L for AA-I and AA-II, respectively, lower than the limit stipulated by Chinese Pharmacopoeia (0.001 %, w/w). The recoveries for AA-I and AA-II were within the range of 73.3-106.4 %. The precisions of intra-day and inter-day were 0.9-5.8 % and 2.1-5.8 %, respectively. Thus, the established method demonstrated to be efficient and reliable to determine AA-I and AA-II in Houttuynia cordata.

Background: Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) have received widespread attention in treating ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the role of -derived exosome-like nanoparticles (HELNs) in UC remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of HELNs in treating colitis in mice and investigate its potential mechanisms.

Background/objectives: In aerobic organisms, such as humans, oxygen radicals are inevitably produced. To counteract oxidation, the body generates antioxidant substances that suppress free radicals. However, levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase due to aging and lifestyle factors, leading to exposure to various diseases.

Endophytic actinomycetes exhibit considerable potential for the production of biologically active metabolites due to their coevolution with plant hosts. In this study, an endophytic Streptomyces chartreusis M7 was isolated from Houttuynia cordata Thunb. Bioactivity-guided investigation of the metabolites produced by this strain led to the identification of thirteen anthracycline-derived polyketides, including five unreported anthraquinones designated streptoquinones A-E (1-5) and two undescribed angular polyketides named chartins A and B (6-7) along with six knowns.

The Houttuynia cordata polysaccharide (HCP) was extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine, Houttuynia cordata, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It has an acidic heteropolysaccharide with a molecular weight of approximately 13.38 kDa, consisting of 7 monosaccharides such as galactose, galacturonic acid, and glucose.
