Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Lagopsis supina (Steph.) Ik.-Gal. ex Knorr. led to the isolation of 18 compounds (118), including ten phenylethanoid glycosides (110), one phenylmethanoid glycoside (11), four megastigmane glycosides (1215), and three monoterpenoid glycosides (1618). Lagopsides A (1) and B (2) were identified as new phenylethanoid glycosides. This is the first report of compounds 7, 11, 12, 15, and 16 from the Labiatae family, while compounds 46, 810, 1314, and 1718 were isolated from the genus Lagopsis for the first time. The chemotaxonomic significance of these isolated compounds was summarized.

Subject and source

The genus Lagopsis belongs to the Labiatae family, and three Lagopsis species are native to China. Lagopsis supina is a perennial herbaceous plant and widely distributed in northeast Asia (Editorial Committee of CAS “Flora of China”, 1977). The whole plant, also known as “Xiazhicao” in Chinese, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of gynecologic disorders such as menorrhagia, irregular menstruation, and painful menstruation, as well as edema in acute and chronic

Previous work

Previous chemical investigations on the whole plants of Lagopsis supina have revealed the presence of phenylethanoid glycosides (Yang et al., 2001), flavonoid glycosides (Li et al., 2002), and labdane diterpenoids (Li et al., 2014) in L. supina.

Present study

The air-dried and powdered whole plants of L. supina (3.0 kg) were extracted with acetone (20 L × 3) and MeOH (12 L × 2) by maceration at room temperature for 2 days. After filtration, combination, and solvent evaporation, the residue (313.8 g) was dissolved in 90% aqueous MeOH and successively partitioned with n-hexane and CH2Cl2 to afford n-hexane (71.0 g), CH2Cl2 (30.4 g), and water (197.5 g) extracts, respectively. The water extract (197.5 g) was subjected to D101 macroporous resin column

Chemotaxonomic significance

This report discusses the isolation and identification of ten phenylethanoid glycosides (110), one phenylmethanoid glycoside (11), four megastigmane glycosides (1215), and three monoterpenoid glycosides (1618) from the whole plants of L. supina. Lagopsides A (1) and B (2) were identified as new phenylethanoid glycosides. Besides, this is the first report of compounds 7, 11, 12, 15, and 16 from the Labiatae family, while compounds 46, 810, 1314, and 1718 were isolated from the Lagopsis

    For example, it was isolated from Euphorbia esula (Lu et al., 2008), Euphorbia mellifera (Valente et al., 2012), Trichilia reticulata (Harding et al., 2001) and Aphanamixis grandifolia (Liu et al., 2010). Although phenylpropanoids were found in L. supina, only propenoic acid-type phenylpropanoids have so far been described (Zhang et al., 2015a, 2016). Compounds 12–14 belong to a type of phenylpropanoids not yet described for L. supina, and they are all reported for the first time in Lamiaceae.

    Therefore, it also used as a substitute for L. japonicus to treating BSS in clinical practice [11]. Previous phytochemical studies conducted with ethanol or acetone crude extract of L. supina have identified the presence of diterpenoids [12], flavonoids [13], phenylpropanoids [14], and monoterpenes [15]. Modern pharmacological studies have been indicated that ethanol crude extract of L. supina have a wide array of biological effects, including improved the blood and lymph microcirculation [15], anti-inflammatory [12], diuretic and antidiuretic [16,17], myocardioprotective [18], antioxidant [19], and antiviral [20] effects.

    Machuca et al. reviewed [13] the clinical and molecular findings in the field of genomics of nephrotic syndrome and provided a suitable understanding of the complex gloumerular filtration barrier physiology. Previous studies were focused on phytochemicals related on nephrotic syndrome like aegeline [14], berberine [15], diterpenoid [16] and roseoside [17]. To the best of our knowledge, reports have not found on molecular docking study both wild type and mutant model of PIPLC_X domain of PLCE1 with aegeline, berberine, diterpenoid and roseoside phytochemicals.
