HUANG Xin, LI Shuai-ping, ZHANG Yong, et al. Effect of Saponins in Red Panacis Quinquefolii Radix on Neurochemicals in Rat Brain by UPLC-MS[J]. Chinese journal of experimental traditional medical formulae, 2017, 23(19): 111-117. DOI: 10.13422/j.cnki.syfjx.2017190111.
Objective: To investigate effects of saponin component Ⅰ and Ⅱ in red Panacis Quinquefolii Radix on 17 neurochemicals in rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Method: Saponin component Ⅰ and Ⅱ were prepared from total saponins of red Panacis Quinquefolii Radix by D101 macroporous adsorption resin.The composition of saponins in component Ⅰ and Ⅱ were detected by UPLC-LIT-MS.The contents of 17 neurochemicals in rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus were determined by UPLC-QQQ-MS. Result: Compared with the blank group
the contents of glutamic acid
aspartic acid
taurine
acetylcholine
tyrosine
dopamine and norepinephrine in rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus increased after administration of saponin component Ⅰ;while the contents of γ-aminobutyric acid
tryptophan
5-hydroxytryptamine
5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid
melatonin
serine
glycine and histamine increased after administration of saponin component Ⅱ;and the trends were positively related to dose.Through analyzing the relationship of saponin composition with content variation of neurochemicals
saponin component Ⅰ could increase the contents of excitatory neurochemicals in rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus
while saponin component Ⅱ were shown to improve the inhibitory neurochemicals contents in rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Conclusion: The saponins in red Panacis Quinquefolii Radix has neural activity.The polarity of saponins is related to their effects on excitatory and inhibitory neurochemicals.
