A phytochemical investigation of the steroidal saponins from the rhizomes of Paris polyohylla var. latifolia led to the discovery and characterization of three new spirostanol saponins, papolatiosides A–C (1–3), and nine known compounds (4–12). Their structures were established via extensive spectroscopic data analysis and chemical methods. Interestingly, compounds 1 and 2 possessed a fructosyl in their oligosaccharide moiety, which is rare in natural product and was firstly reported in family Melanthiaceae. The cytotoxicity of these saponins against several human cancer cell lines was evaluated by a CCK-8 experiment. As a result, compound 1 exhibited a significant cytotoxic effect on LN229, U251, Capan-2, HeLa, and HepG2 cancer cells with IC50 values of 4.18 ± 0.31, 3.85 ± 0.44, 3.26 ± 0.34, 3.30 ± 0.38 and 4.32 ± 0.51 μM, respectively. In addition, the result of flow cytometry analysis indicated that compound 1 could induce apoptosis of glioma cells LN229. The underlying mechanism was explored by network pharmacology and western bolt experiments, which indicated that compound 1 could induce glioma cells LN229 apoptosis by regulating the EGFR/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
... However, with the rapid development of the planting industry and changes in ecological and environmental factors such as blind introduction and the planting mode, the quality of P. polyphylla has deteriorated, and the disease of P. polyphylla has become increasingly prominent, especially root rot [7]. During the long growth process of P. polyphylla, ...
Root rot of Paris polyphylla has received widespread attention due to its threat to yield and leads to serious economic losses. However, the relationship among the rhizosphere microbial community, metabolites and root rot disease remained largely unexplored. Herein, we used integrated 16S rRNA, ITS, RNA sequencing and UPLC-MS/MS to systematically investigate the differences between healthy and diseased P. polyphylla. We found that root rot reduced the microbial diversity in the diseased P. polyphylla compared with the healthy control. The relative abundance of the bacterial phylum Actinobacteria increased in the diseased rhizome of P. polyphylla. For the fungal community, root rot disease contributed to an increased relative abundance of Ascomycota and decreased Glomeromycota at the phylum level. The transcriptomic results showed that the differently expressed genes were significantly enriched in the “Biosynthesis of various alkaloids”, “flavonoid biosynthesis” and “isoflavonoid biosynthesis” and “Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis” was dramatically enriched in healthy P. polyphylla compared with that in diseased P. polyphylla. Likewise, the metabolomic results showed that the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and metabolic pathways was found to be significantly enriched by differential metabolites. Taken together, the study of combining metabolomics with microbiomes can help us enhance our understanding of the mechanisms of plant resistance to root rot disease, thereby discovering specific metabolites and microorganisms that can resist pathogen infection in P. polyphylla.
... 14,15 As the accurate and rapid analysis function, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS) has been employed widely in qualitative and quantitative research on chemical components. 16,17 UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS demonstrates excellent separation efficiency and strong structural characterization capability, and can not only give the molecular weight, structural information but also the qualitative analysis of chemical components. [18][19][20] In this work, we hope to establish HPLC fingerprint chromatography of the MPPY to analyze and assign the common peaks and then combine UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS technology to evaluate comprehensively the quality of MPPY. ...
Due to the clinical significance of steroidal saponins, multiple stems Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis (MPPY) has attracted much interest and played a crucial role in drug development. However, developing a simple and efficient method to analyze the chemical composition of MPPY remains a pronounced challenge. Herein, we report for the first time the component analysis of MPPY rhizomes using the chromatographic fingerprint combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS) method. Nineteen compositions of MPPY were qualitatively investigated by such strategy and confirmed as steroidal saponins. Among these compositions, 17 steroidal saponins were detected in 10 different batches of MPPY. Thirteen common peaks appeared in chromatographic fingerprint, of which 11 common peaks can be attributed by LC–MS data. The experimental facts demonstrate that the method established is simple, rapid, and reliable to evaluate the quality of MPPY. Besides, the correlation and difference of steroidal saponins in the rhizomes of MPPY from different places were also studied.
Ethnopharmacological relevance
Paris L. (Liliaceae) consisted of 33 species, of which the study focused on Paris polyphylla Smith, P. polyphylla var. chinensis (Franch.) Hara, and P. polyphylla Smith var. yunnanensis (Franch.) Hand. -Mazz. Due of course to the good effects of analgesia and hemostasis, it was traditionally used to treat trauma by folk herbalists.
Aim of this review
This study summarized the traditional uses, distributions, phytochemical components, pharmacological properties, and toxicity evaluation of the genus Paris, and reviewed the economic value of cultivate P. polyphylla. This aim was that of providing a new and comprehensive recognition of these medicinal plants for the further utilization of Paris plants.
Materials and methods
The literature about traditional and folk uses of genus Paris was obtained from Duxiu Search, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The other literature about genus Paris was searched online on Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar, Scifinder database, and Springer research. The Scientific Database of China Plant Species (DCP) (http://db.kib.ac.cn/Default.aspx) databases were used to check the scientific names and provide species, varieties, and distribution of genus Paris. The botany studies information of genus Paris was available online from Plant Plus of China (www.iplant.cn). All the molecular structures of chemical compounds displayed in the text were produced by ChemBioDraw Ultra 14.0.
Results
The plants of genus Paris, containing about 33 species and 15 varieties, are mainly distributed in Southwest China (Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou provinces). More than 320 chemical components have been isolated from genus Paris since 2020, including steroidal saponins, C-21 steroids, phytosterols, insect hormones, pentacyclic triterpenes, flavonoids, and other compounds. Arrays of pharmacological investigations revealed that compounds and extracts of Paris species possess a wide spectrum of pharmacological effects, such as antitumor, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antifungal, hemostatic, and anti-inflammatory activities. The studies about toxicity evaluation suggested that Rhizome Paridis had slight liver toxicity.
Conclusions
The dried rhizomes of P. polyphylla, P. polyphylla var. chinensis, and P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis were used to treat wound, bleeding, and stomachache, etc. in folk medicine. Phytochemistry researches showed that different species had pretty similarities especially in terms of chemical constituents. Pharmacological studies witnessed that Rhizome Paridis has various activities. Among these activities, steroidal saponins were the main active ingredients. Furthermore, an important aspect responsible for increasing interest in genus Paris is the use of antifertility-nonhormonal contraceptives by women. Also, the development of TCM (Traditional Chinese medicine) planting industry can improve the income of ethnic minorities and promote economic development.
