基于Needs甲基化法枸杞多糖指纹图谱的建立

目的多糖是枸杞中主要的活性成分,各产地间枸杞多糖的结构和含量均有差异。目前枸杞多糖的质量控制方法大多都通过单糖组成构建指纹图谱,但仅通过单糖指纹图谱对枸杞多糖进行质量控制,并不能系统地对不同产地的枸杞多糖进行质量控制。因此,我们在单糖指纹图谱的基础上,利用Needs甲基化法确定枸杞多糖的糖残基连接方式,建立Needs甲基化法枸杞多糖指纹图谱,实现对不同产地枸杞的质量控制。方法通过水提醇沉法获得枸杞多糖,并采用Needs甲基化、完全酸水解、硼氢化钠还原及乙酰化等方法结合GC-MS测定枸杞多糖的糖残基连接方式。结果将18批枸杞多糖的糖残基连接方式色谱图导入《中药色谱指纹图谱相似度评价系统》(2004版)构建出指纹图谱,并结合多种化学计量法评价不同产地间枸杞多糖的差异。相似度计算结果发现,除西藏自治区三批枸杞多糖相似度0.551-0.569,其余15批样品相似度均0.929以上。糖残基连接方式色谱图共标定了16个共有峰,指认了其中10个共有峰,分别为TArap、T-Araf、T-Xylp、1,2-Arap、1,3-Rhap、1,5-Araf、T-Glcp、T-Galp、1,4-Glcp、1,6-Galp。HCA、PCA和PLS-DA分析结果将18批次不同产地的枸杞多糖分为3类,并筛选出了3个标志性成分,分别为T-Araf、1,5-Araf和T-Glcp,以此来判断不同产地间枸杞多糖的差异性。结论首次建立了18批枸杞多糖的Needs甲基化法指纹图谱,为枸杞多糖质量控制提供实验数据参考,进一步证明了多糖在中药质量控制中的作用。
