Ruta Graveolens Cultures As Screening Resources for Phyto-Pharmaceuticals: Bio-Prospecting, Metabolic Phenotyping and Multivariate Analysis ® Bioremediation, Biodiversity and Bioavailability ©2011 Global Science Books Ruta graveolens Cultures as Screening Resources for Phyto-Pharmaceuticals: Bio-prospecting, Metabolic Phenotyping and Multivariate Analysis Renuka Diwan • Nutan Malpathak* Department of Botany, University of Pune, Pune: 411007 Maharashtra, India Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT Ruta graveolens is a folklore plant, used by ancient Egyptians and Greeks and used in traditional medicine systems like Unani, Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. The plant has potent anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-HIV activity. In this study, R. graveolens and six in vitro cultures (with varying degrees of differentiation) were screened for biologically active compounds by GC-MS analysis. Non-targeted comprehensive analysis, directed towards extracting broad spectrum biochemical information was used for bioprospecting. The relationship between metabolic components and lines was interpreted with the help of multivariate analysis (hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis). The characteristic metabolic traits underlying clustering and separation of culture lines were also elucidated. Bio-prospecting based on GC-MS analysis indicated the presence of several metabolites with a wide range of bioactivities: photobilogical, anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-oxidative, anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, anti-platelet aggregation, anti- HIV, immunomodulatory, estrogenic activity, among others with potential economic importance. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that metabolic traits enabled the discrimination of genotypes that exhibited marked differences in pharmaceutically important metabolites. With the use of metabolic phenotyping, in vitro cultures can be used as novel screening resources for new or improved phyto- pharmacueticals. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: metabolic profiling, hierarchical cluster analysis, principal component analysis Abbreviations: FC, furanocoumarin; HCA, hierarchical cluster analysis; Ia3, transformed clone; PCA, principal component analysis; RC1, dispersed cell line; RS2, shoot line; RC3, aggregated cell line; RC6, differentiated cell line INTRODUCTION derived from the Greek “reuo” (to set free), because this herb is so efficacious in various diseases.

The effect of NPF on phenylpropanoid metabolism in morning glory cuttings was studied. It was found that morning glory tissues responded to treatment with NPF bud-cell suspension (108 bud-cells/ml) with the activation of phenylalanine ammonia- lyase (PAL). PAL activity was induced faster and greater in the NPF-treated cuttings com- pared to cuttings of a distilled water control. High performance liquid chromatography analy- sis of the extract from tissues of morning glory cuttings after NPF treatment showed a quicker induction of scopoletin and scopolin synthesis than that seen in the control cuttings.

Possibly PF produced constituent(s) that elicited the inhibitory effect on induction of the resistance reaction.

Methods: The anticancer activity of scopoletin was evaluated by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MMT) assay. Flow cytometry using propidium iodide and annexin V-FITC was employed to study apoptosis and cell cycle analysis. Hoechst 33258 staining was used to assess the effect of scopoletin on cell morphology and apoptotic body formation in human prostate carcinoma (LNCaP) cells via Florescence microscopy and finally Western blotting was used to evaluate the effect of scopoletin on cyclin D1 and cyclin B1 expressions. Results: Scopoletin induced a dose-dependent growth inhibition in LNCaP prostate cancer cells. It induced G2/M phase growth arrest and led to an increase in the sub-G0/G1 cell population after treatment with increasing doses compared to control cells, scopoletin treatment resulted in cell shrinkage along with membrane blebbing which are characteristic features of cell apoptosis.

To screen the potential chemical markers among Notopterygii rhizoma and radix planted in its natural germination area and in others, the quantitative data of 19 compounds are analyzed via partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS–DA). Depending on the variable importance parameters (VIP) value of PLS–DA, six compounds are selected to be the potential chemical markers for the discrimination of Notopterygii rhizoma and radix planted in the different regions.
