Ligularia is a medicinally important herb of the family Compositae. Ligularia narynensis is a perennial herb growing in the mountains, rich in sesquiterpenes, triterpenes, lignans, alkaloids, and steroids. In this work chemical constituents of the root part of medicinal plant L. narynensis from Kazakhstan have been determined for the first time. The constituents of the root part of L. narynensis were extracted with hexane and analyzed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirty compounds were detected, and their concentrations were determined by the method of normalization of peak areas. Among them, the major components are (9Z,12E)-octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid (16.7%), ethyl (9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoate (11.1%), n-hexadecanoic acid (11.0%), (3a,5a,5b,8,8,11a-hexamethyl-1-prop-1-en-2-yl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,7a,9,10,11,11b,12,13,13a,13b-hexadecahydrocyclopenta[a]chrysen-9-yl) acetate (9.1%), [(3R)-4,4,6a,6b,8a,11,11,14b-octamethyl-1,2,3,4a,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,12a,14,14a-tetradecahydropicen-3-yl] acetate (5.1%). Presence of these bioactive constituents may indicate that the plant extract possesses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anticancer activities, which can serve as a basis for the development of new phytopreparations.

Simiao Wan (SMW), an important multiherbal formula used in traditional Chinese medicine, is extensively used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. However, the knowledge of the bioactive components of SMW remains unclear. Thus, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) were used to analyze the chemical constituents of volatile and nonvolatile extracts of SMW, as well as its absorbed components in rat plasma after oral SMW administration. Identification of several compounds was enabled by comparison of retention times, MS spectra, and MS/MS spectral data with the standard substance and reference materials reported in the literature. In the volatile extracts, GC-MS identified 26 compounds in vitro, three of which observed in blood by GC-MS. In the nonvolatile extracts, LC-MS identified 49 compounds in SMW; 18 compounds containing 7 prototype compounds, 5 metabolites, and 6 unknown compounds were absorbed by blood. The proposed GC-MS and LC-MS method was appropriate not only for the rapid screening and identification of multiple components of an SMW extract but also for screening its bioactive constituents in vivo. The proposed method could be a promising tool for the quality control of other Chinese herbal medicines.

Selaginella doederleinii (SD) is a perennial medicinal herb widely distributed in China. In this study, the volatile components of SD from two regions (24 batches), namely Zhejiang and Guizhou, were determined by combining headspace solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS). After investigating different influence factors, the optimal conditions for extraction were as follows: The sample amount of 1 g, the polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB) fiber of 65 µm, the extraction time of 20 min, and the extraction temperature of 100 °C. Based on the above optimum conditions, 58 volatiles compounds, including 20 terpenes, 11 alkanes, 3 alcohols, 6 ketones, 3 esters, 11 aldehydes, 1 ether, 1 aromatic, 1 phenol, and 1 furan, were found and identified in SD. Furthermore, hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis were successfully applied to distinguish the chemical constituents of SD from two regions. Additionally, anethol, zingerone, 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, ledene, hexyl hexanoate, α-cadinol, phytone, hinesol, decanal, octadecene, cedren, 7-tetradecene, copaene, β-humulene, 2-butyl-2-octenal, tetradecane, cedrol, calacorene, 6-dodecanone, β-caryophyllene, 4-oxoisophorone, γ-nonanolactone, 2-pentylfuran, 1,2-epoxyhexadecane, carvacrol, n-pentadecane, diisobutyl phthalate, farnesene, n-heptadecane, linalool, 1-octen-3-ol, phytane, and β-asarone were selected as the potential markers for discriminating SD from 24 habitats in Zhejiang and Guizhou by partial least squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA). This study revealed the differences in the components of SD from different regions, which could provide a reference for the future quality evaluation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of ethyl acetate extract of Streptomyces omiyaensis SCH2. The chemical constituents of the extract were investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).Methods: Secondary metabolites from S. omiyaensis were produced by submerge fermentation using ISP2 medium with 3% NaCl (w/v) for 21 days. The culture filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The chemical constituents were detected in the GC-MS analysis. Antibacterial activity was performed using disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by determining the reducing power capacity and free radical scavenging assays.Results: The GC-MS analysis of the SCH2 extract revealed the presence of four compounds. The main constituents were 2-phenylacetamide (79%). The extract exhibited the highest zone of inhibition against some pathogenic bacteria such as Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacillus subtilis. In addition, the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (IC) and minimum bactericidal concentration values of extract were obtained for E. cloacae (0.125 and 4 mg/ml). The extract showed antioxidant potential with IC50 values of 2.078.13±24.58 μg/ml and 475.74±4.56 μg/ml for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl and 2,2′-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid] assays, respectively. The ferric reducing antioxidant power value of extract was 110.36±1.75 mmol FeSO4.7H2O/g extract.Conclusion: This study indicated that S. omiyaensis extract possesses antibacterial and antioxidant activities. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of major chemical constituents, acetamide, and pyrrolopyrazine which could be responsible for the biological activities.

Phthalides are important bioactive constituents of celery plants. The medicinal uses of celery and their characteristic aroma have been linked to the phthalides. In this report, the leaf and stalk oils of celery were extracted either by hydrodistillation or maceration in water and the phthalide constituents of the oils were characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The leaf oil consists mainly of dihydroxyphthalides while the volatile phthalides are the main phthalides in the stalk oil. The phthalide content of the leaf oil and the stalk oil are 39.8% and 29.95% respectively. The phthalides identified in the leaf oil are the isomeric compounds of senkyunolide I and senkyunolides (J & N), while the major phthalide constituents of the stalk oil include 3-n- butylphthalide, sedanolide, neocnidilide and sedanenolide/senkyunolide A. The results suggest that the Nigerian celery plant could be considered a good source of phthalides which are known for their nutraceutical properties such as anti-oxidant, antitumor, anti- platelet aggregation, hypotensive, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties. Further phytochemical and pharmacological evaluation of the locally cultivated celery are required in order to exploit the medicinal potentials of the plant for applications in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
