J. Korean Soc. Appl. Biol. Chem. 52(5), 437-442 (2009) Article Anti-inflammatory Effect and HPLC Analysis of Extract from Edible Cirsium setidens Sung-Hyun Lee†, Mee Jung Jung†, Seong-Il Heo, and Myeon-Hyeon Wang* School of Biotechnology, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 200-701, Republic of Korea Received December 8, 2008; Accepted August 31, 2009 The anti-inflammatory effect of Cirsium setidens (C. setidens) roots was evaluated for its potential to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells. The ethanol (EtOH) extract of C. setidens exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activities in the NO production by LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The individual fractions tested were, in order of most-to-least potent in anti-inflammatory activity: n-butanol (n-BuOH)>ethanol (EtOH)>water (H2O)>ethyl acetate (EtOAc)>dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The n-BuOH soluble fraction, which exhibited the strongest anti-inflammatory activity, was further purified by repeated MCI gel, silicagel, and RP-18 gel column chromatography. Syringin, isolated from C. setidens roots for the first time, were found to inhibit NO production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the analysis of the syringin in the EtOH extract of Cirsumn species.

Roots of Cirsium doi:10.3839/jksabc.2009.076 setidens Nakai were collected in September, 2006 in 438 Sung-Hyun Lee et al. South Korea. The air-dried and chopped root powder of gel (12 nm S-75 µm, YMC Co. LTD., Kyoto, Japan). C. setidens Nakai (2.2 kg) was extracted with EtOH (18 L TLC was performed on precoated Kiesel gel 60 F254 plate ×3) at 80oC for 3 h. The total filtrate was concentrated and (0.25 µm, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). dried in vacuo at 40oC to render the EtOH extract (225.7 Cell culture and cell viability assay. RAW 264.7 g). The extract was then suspended in distilled water and murine macrophages were obtained from Korean Cell sequentially partitioned CH2Cl2 (18.5 g), EtOAc (6.1 g), Line Bank (KCLB, Seoul, Korean). These cells were n-BuOH (41.7 g), and H2O (152.5 g). Each extract was cultured in RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS, penicillin tested for its anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (100 U/mL), and streptomycin (100 µg/mL) in a 95% air, o (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells, and the n-BuOH 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere at 37 C. Cell viability fraction exhibited strong activity. Therefore, n-BuOH was determined by 3-[4,5-dimethylthia-zol-2-yl]-2,5- (41.7 g) fraction loaded on a MCI gel column diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT, Sigma, St. Louis, chromatography and eluted with methanol (MeOH)/H2O MO) assay. RAW 264.7 macrophages were plated at a (0:100, 40:60, 60:40, 100:0%) in a gradient mode to density of 2×105 cells in a 96-well cell culture plate with yield 4 fractions (CM1-4). Fraction CM2 (3.26 g) was 180 µL of culture medium, and incubated for 24 h. The chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column cells incubated with C. setidens EtOH extract and its chromatography, using a solvent of MeOH to yield 7 fractions (1 mg/mL), and syringin (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µM) fractions (CM2S1-7). Fraction CM2S2 (2.17 g) was for 20 h, and then 20 mL of MTT solution (2 mg/mL) chromatographyed on a silica gel column with was added to each well and incubated 2 h further. The CH2Cl2:MeOH (10:1→1:1, 0:1, gradient condition) to supernatant was carefully removed using a needle and yield 6 fractions (CM2S21-6). The fraction CM2S25 200 µL of DMSO was added to each well to dissolve (0.66 g) was rechromatographed through the repeated crystals. The absorbance at 550 nm was measured with a silica gel and RP-18 gel column chromatographies. microplate reader (Bioteck Instrucments, Winooski, VT). Finally, a lignan compound 1 (syringin, 113 mg) was Nitrite (NO) assay. RAW264.7 macrophages were isolated. plated at a density of 2×105 cells in a 96-well cell culture Chemical structure of compound 1.
