Investigation of Active Ingredients of Lamiophlomis Rotata(Benth.)Kudo against Ear Swelling Based on Spectrum-Effect Relationship
Objective:To elucidate the anti-inflammatory material basis of Lamiophlomis rotata(Benth.)Kudo(L.rotata)based on the spectrum-effect relationship and experimental validation.Methods:The fingerprint of 12 batches of L.rotata from different origins was established based on HPLC analysis.Based on mouse ear swelling model,the ear swelling rate and inhibition rate in each batch of L.rotata was meas-ured,and the serum contents of TNF-α and IL-6 were detected.Based on gray correlation analysis and literature comparison,the key ingredi-ents of L.rotata against inflammation were investigated and their contribution to the anti-inflammatory effect of the L.rotata water extract was verified.Results:HPLC fingerprint of L.rotata water extract was established with 16 common peaks identified.Seven characteristic peaks were identified by reference substances,such as shanzhiside methylester,8-O-acetylshanzhiside methyl ester,forsythiaside B,luteolin-7-O-glu-coside,and so on.Except for sesamoside and rutin,high levels were observed in the other 5 peaks.The results of ear swelling induced by xy-lene showed all 12 batches of L.rotata water extract had anti-inflammatory effects.The results of gray correlation analysis and literature com-parison suggested that shanzhiside methylester,8-O-acetylshanzhiside methyl ester,forsythiaside B,luteolin-7-O-glucoside were closely related with the anti-inflammatory effect of L.rotata water extract.The contents of these four components were(15.319±4.228),(26.156±7.174),(14.376±5.817),(12.756±2.570)mg/g,respectively.Further pharmacological comparison validation confirmed the speculation.Conclu-sion:Shanzhiside methylester,8-O-acetylshanzhiside methyl ester,forsythiaside B,luteolin-7-O-glucoside might be the key ingredients of L.rotata water extract against inflammation.
