Abstract

:
Background: This is a comparative metabolomic study of the medicinal plant Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott from the family Dryopteridaceae Herter (or Aspidiaceae Mett. ex Frank) growing under cold pole conditions in the Oymyakon region of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Methods: The aerial parts of D. fragrans were subjected to extraction using supercritical CO2 extraction and maceration methods. Several experimental conditions were investigated, including a pressure range of 50–300 bar and a temperature range of 31–60 °C. A 1% volume of ethanol was used as a co-solvent in the liquid phase of the extraction. Results: The most effective D. fragrans extraction conditions were 200 Bar pressure and a temperature of 55 °C. Tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect the target analytes. A total of 141 bioactive compounds (86 compounds from the polyphenol group and 55 compounds from other chemical groups) were tentatively identified in extracts of aerial parts of D. fragrans. Among these, thirty chemical constituents from the polyphenol group were identified for the first time. Other compound classes that were newly identified in D. fragrans include naphthoquinones (5,8-dihydroxy-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-naphthoquinone, 1,8-dihydroxy-anthraquinone, 1,4,8-trihydroxyanthraquinone, chrysophanol, etc.), diterpenoids (tanshinone IIa, cryptotanshinone, isocryptotanshinone II, tanshinone IIb, etc.), polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and sesquiterpenes. Conclusions: These results highlight that D. fragrans is rich in bioactive compounds and put forward several newly detected compounds for further investigation.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott is a perennial, grassy, low-growing fern with a short rhizome belonging to the Dryopteridaceae family (or Aspidiaceae Mett. ex Frank) (Figure 1). D. fragrans is distributed across the Far East and Eastern Siberia; outside of Siberia, it is found in Northern Europe, Northeast Asia, and North America (Figure 1) [1].
In Yakutia, it is found in all floristic regions along stony larch woodlands, thickets of Siberian dwarf pines, and stone runs [2,3]. Infusions and tinctures of D. fragrans (L.) Schott were tested by Lebedev V.V. in laboratory animals and calves under production conditions. The infusion of both animals stimulated bile secretion slightly, whereas tinctures had a general anti-inflammatory effect and a pronounced vasoconstrictor effect. Up to 97.4% of calves with dyspepsia were cured via infusion and tincture of fragrant woodfern [4,5]. D. fragrans is used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of diseases such as psoriasis, rashes, dermatitis, Barbiers, and arthritis. The root of the fragrant fern is used by the local Yakut people as an anthelmintic agent, while the leaves of D. fragrans are administered to children with “fever in the abdomen” [2,4,5,6]. Previous research revealed that its major secondary metabolites, such as photoglycines, terpenes, lignans, phenolic glycosides, and essential oils, might be responsible for the pharmacological effects observed in clinical settings [7,8,9,10,11]. In traditional Yakutian medicine, a decoction or infusion of the leaves of the fragrant fern is used to treat gastric diseases, paralysis, coughs, and bone pain [4,6]. One popular name for this medicinal plant is “The herb that the wolf eats”.
Many researchers have studied the constituent compounds of D. fragrans and their potential applications.
Using spectroscopic analysis, Ito H. et al. (1997) elucidated the structure of a new sesquiterpenoid, dryofragin, isolated from D. fragrans [7]. Similarly, Kuang H. et al. (2008) isolated a new phenolic glycoside, 3,3,5-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-2-methoxy-4-O---D-glucopyranosyl-oxy-acetophenone, from the aerial parts of D. fragrans and used spectroscopic methods to identify its structure [8]. New sesquiterpene glucosides were also isolated from an aqueous extract of the aerial parts of D. fragrans, identified as 3β, 11-dihydroxy-drim-8(12)-en-11-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, 3β, 11-dihydroxy-drim-8(12)-en-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, and 11,14-dihydroxy-drim-8(12)-en-11-O-β-D-glucopyranoside using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS), and 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis [9].
One new coumarin, dryofracoumarin A, 8-hydroxyl-4-isopropyl-7-methyl-6-methyl-2H-benzopyran-2-one, and six known compounds, esculetin, isoscopoletin, methylphlorbutyrophenone, aspidinol, albicanol, and (E)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)but-3-en-1-ol, were isolated from D. fragrans. The new coumarin, as well as esculetin and isoscopoletin, showed significant cytotoxic activity against two cell lines (A549 and MCF7). Scientists have suggested that these active compounds may be promising cancer treatments [10]. Similarly, one new sesquiterpene, 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosylalbicanol-11-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, and six known compounds—Dihydroconiferylalcohol, (E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acrylic acid, esculetin, and 5,7-dihydroxy-2-hydroxymethylchromone—isolated from D. fragrans showed activity against Microsporum canis and Epidermophyton floccosum [11]. Furthermore, a detailed review highlighted the phytochemical composition and biological activity of plants of the genus Dryopteris [12]. Two new phenolic glycosides—frachromone C and dryofracoulin A—and one known compound, undulatoside A, were isolated from an aqueous extract of D. fragrans collected in Wudalianchi, Heilongjiang Province, China. The structures of these compounds were elucidated using a combination of 1D and 2D NMR, HRMS, and chemical analysis [13].
The cytotoxic constituents of D. fragrans have also been reported. For example, the methanol extract of the aerial parts of D. fragrans was used to isolate dryofragone, dryofracoumarin B, and other known compounds. These compounds exhibited modest cytotoxicity toward the human HeLa cell line, with an IC50 value below 30 µM, by using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay [14]. Apart from traditional cytotoxicity studies, the use of in silico methods to understand the health beneficial activities of metabolites from this plant has also been reported. The antitumor activity of a phenolic compound isolated from D. fragrans was studied using molecular docking. Different variants of bicyclic phloroglucinol were considered in relation to A549, HepG2, and MCF-7; the ones with high binding affinity and good efficacy were selected as promising antitumor compounds [15]. Among other phenolic compounds, two new sesquiterpenoid glycosides, drioptesterpene A and drioptesterpene B, isolated from the aqueous extract of D. fragrans, exhibited anti-inflammatory activities [16]. Additionally, various modifications of the phloroglucinol compounds isolated from D. fragrans have been investigated. For example, various phloroglucinol derivatives have been synthesized with certain antiproliferative activities on cancer cell lines, as well as with the induction of apoptosis, in a concentration-dependent manner [17].
Currently, various methods are used to extract bioactive compounds from medicinal plants on a laboratory or commercial scale. A detailed review of the recent advances in the methods indicated that supercritical (SC) fluid extraction is one of the best techniques for the extraction of natural chemical constituents [18]. However, the use of such an efficient method has not been realized for D. fragrans. Most studies on Dryopteris species have reported the use of ethanol extraction [10,19,20]. Owing to its non-polar, gal-like, liquid-like properties and the ability to extract heat-sensitive compounds [18], we report its utility in D. fragrans.
As the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly focusing on the search for new health beneficial compounds from a number of medicinal plants, it is necessary to determine the phytochemical composition of D. fragrans growing in the territory of Yakutia. Here, we conducted a detailed study of the biochemical composition of the aerial part of D. fragrans collected from the Kyubeme locality of the Oymyakon district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) [N 63.417262°, E 140.610894°] during the expedition work in 2019–2020 (Figure 2).

2. Results

Supercritical CO2 Extraction from the Aerial Parts of D. fragrans Plant

The aerial parts of D. fragrans were examined via supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) extraction under different extraction conditions. The SC pressures applied ranged from 50 to 250 bar, and the extraction temperature ranged from 31 to 70 °C. The co-solvent EtOH was used in an amount of 1% of the total solvent amount. Below is a 3D plot of the yield of bioactive substances D. fragrans under different SC extraction conditions (Figure 3).
Table 1 shows the yield of bioactive substances from aerial parts of D. fragrans via CO2 extraction.
The maximum yield of bioactive substances from aerial parts of D. fragrans was observed under the following extraction conditions:
  • − Pressure of 200 bar, extraction temperature of 55 °C, extraction time of 1 h. The yield of biologically active substances was 0.0000062 kg/0.0001 kg of plant sample; the proportion of the EtOH modifier was 2%.
  • − Pressure of 250 bar, extraction temperature of 55 °C, extraction time of 1 h. The yield of biologically active substances was 0.0000059 kg/0.0001 kg of plant sample; the proportion of the EtOH modifier was 2%.

3. Discussion

3.1. Global Metabolome Profile of D. fragrans

The structural identification of each compound was performed on the basis of its mass and MS/MS fragmentation via tandem mass spectrometry. The chemical constituents were identified by comparing their retention index, mass spectra, and mass spectrometry fragmentation with a home-library database built by the Group of Biotechnology, Bioengineering and Food Systems at the Far-Eastern Federal University (FEFU) based on data from other spectroscopic techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry, as well as data from the literature that are continuously updated and revised. According to the classification developed by Schymanski et al. [18], the FEFU database belongs to the second level, which includes two components: metabolite annotation level B(i): accurate matching of FEFU database based on MS/MS secondary spectrum library; B(ii): accurate matching of the MS/MS secondary spectrum library based on computer simulation. We were able to tentatively identify 141 compounds from the extracts of the aerial parts of D. fragrans, 86 compounds from the polyphenol group, and 55 compounds from other compound classes. All tentatively identified polyphenols and other compounds, along with molecular formulae and MS/MS data for D. fragrans, are summarized in Appendix A, Table A1. The polyphenols identified in our study were categorized as flavones, flavonols, anthocyanidins, phenolic acids, lignans, coumarins, stilbenes, etc. In total, the polyphenol metabolites identified in our study belonged to 19 compound classes. The highest number of metabolites were flavones (27), followed by flavonols (16), anthocyanins (13), flavan-3-ols (3), phenolic acids (13), stilbenes (2), coumarins (6), lignans (2), etc. These numbers indicate that D. fragrans extracts are rich in flavonoids. The highest number of chemical compounds from other groups are naphthoquinones (6), diterpenoids (5), and phloroglucinol derivatives (6).
A Venn diagram showing the similarities and differences in the presence of various chemical groups in three extracts of D. fragrans (ethanol extract, methanol extract, and SC-CO2 extract) is shown in Figure 4. Twenty-six compounds were commonly identified from the three extracts of D. fragrans. These compounds belong to compound classes such as flavones, flavonols, anthocyanins, and phlorodlucinol derivatives, such as 1,3-dimethyluric acid, 8-dihydroxy-anthraquinone, albaspidin PB, flavaspidic acid BB, saroaspidin A, chlorogenic acid, chrysoeriol 6-C-glucoside, chrysoeriol 8-C-glucoside, chrysophanol, delphinidin 3-O-β-galactoside, delphinidin 3-O-hexoside, etc. The polyphenols, phlorodlucinol derivatives, naphthoquinones, and anthraquinones are major active compounds in extracts of D. fragrans. Overall, the applied methods were able to detect 107 (EtOH extract of D. fragrans), 64 (MeOH extract of D. fragrans), and 70 (CO2 extract of D. fragrans) compounds (Table 2).
In addition, we used the Jaccard index to represent the similarities and differences of bioactive substances in different extracts of D. fragrans (Table 3). The Jaccard index, also known as the Jaccard similarity coefficient, is a statistic used to evaluate the similarity and diversity of sets of samples [21,22].
Table 3 shows that the highest degree of similarity is present between the EtOH extract and MeOH extract—0.4132.

3.2. Flavones

The flavones dihydroxyflavone, formononetin, apigenin, trihydroxy(iso)flavone, luteolin, herbacetin, trimethoxy flavone, pentahydroxy dimethoxyflavone, vitexin, isovitexin, genistein 8-C-glucoside, etc. (compounds 127; Appendix A Table A1) have already been characterized as a component of Triticum aestivum [23], Dryopteris ramosa [24], Aspalathus linearis [25], Lonicera japonica [26], Passiflora incarnata [27], and Mexican lupine species [28] (Appendix A, Table A1). The CID-spectrum (collision-induced spectrum) in positive ion modes of flavone vitexin from aerial parts of D. fragrans (CO2 extract) is shown in Figure 5.

The detailed mass spectrometry of aspidin AB has been reported in an article about D. fragrans [20].

3.7. Newly Identified Chemical Compounds in D. Fragrans

Among the identified metabolites in the three D. fragrans extracts (EtOH extract, MeOH extract, and SC-CO2 extract), thirty compounds from the polyphenol group and 21 compounds from other chemical groups were identified for the first time. The newly identified polyphenols include flavones (dihydroxyflavone, formononetin, luteolin, herbacetin, genistein 8-C-glucoside, genistein 6-C-glucoside, acacetin 8-C-glucoside, luteolin C-hexoside, and eriodictyol 7-O-glucuronide), flavonols (astragalin, quercitrin, and myricitrin), anthocyanins (cyanidin 3-(6″-malonylglucoside, delphinidin-3-O-(6″-O-malonul)-β-D-glucoside, and delphinidin-3-O-(6-O-p-coumaroyl) glucoside), stilbenes pinosylvin and resveratrol, coumarins umbelliferone, fraxetin, 4/6,8-Dihydro-5,7-dihydroxy-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-acetic acid, umbelliferone hexoside, tomenin, etc. Interestingly, the other compound classes that we also tentatively identified in D. fragrans are naphthoquinones (5,8-Dihydroxy-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-naphthalenedione, 1,8-Dihydroxy-anthraquinone, 1,4,8-Trihydroxyanthraquinone, chrysophanol, etc.), diterpenoids (tanshinone IIA, cryptotanshinone, isocryptotanshinone II, tanshinone IIB, etc.), polysaccharides, triterpenoids, sesquiterpenes, etc. (Appendix A Table A1).
Biologically active compounds from the aerial parts and underground parts of plants are efficiently extracted using organic solvents, but the resulting extracts at the final stage require additional purification from traces of the solvents used. Supercritical CO2 extraction is declared as “green extraction” and is effectively used in various food processing processes as an alternative to traditional extraction methods [42,43]. With SC extraction, the resulting products do not contain residues of organic solvents, which are present in conventional extraction methods where solvents are often toxic or can be toxic. A low extraction temperature, easy removal of solvent from the final product, and high selectivity are the main attractive features of SC technology, leading to a significant increase in research opportunities for application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Our research group has successfully applied the SC extraction method to extract bioactive components from Z. marina [35]. We also investigated the effects of SC-CO2 extraction parameters and the quality of Panax ginseng raw material on the yield of ginsenosides in the extraction of ginseng root [44]. Supercritical extraction has been successfully applied in the extraction of East Sikhotinsky rhododendron (Rhododendron sichotense) and East Siberian rhododendron (Rhododendron adamsii), which also showed that the SC-CO2 extraction is an effective method and provides additional opportunities for research [45]. Thus, the use of SC-CO2 extraction is an effective approach for the extraction of bioactive compounds. The results obtained in the extraction of D. fragrans are consistent with these reports that SC-CO2 is a useful approach for the extraction and study of bioactive compounds.

4. Materials and Methods

4.1. Materials

The aerial parts of D. fragrans plant were collected in the area of the Kyubeme, Oymyakon district, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) [N 63.417262°, E 140.610894°] during the expedition work in 2019–2020. The plant material was dried on a horizontal surface in a ventilated room with periodic mixing. Before extraction, the dried material (the aerial parts) of D. fragrans was stored in a refrigerator at 4−6 °C. All samples complied with the morphological standards of the Pharmacopoeia of the Eurasian Economic Union [46].

4.2. Chemicals and Reagents

HPLC-grade acetonitrile was purchased from Fisher Scientific (Southborough, UK), and MS-grade formic acid was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). Ultrapure water was prepared from a Siemens ultra clear (Siemens water technologies, Günzburg, Germany), and all other chemicals were analytical grade.

4.3. Extraction

Supercritical CO2 extraction was performed using the SFE-500 SC pressure extraction system (Thar SCF Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA). System options include co-solvent pump (Thar Waters P-50 High Pressure Pump, Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA) for extraction of polar samples, CO2 flow meter (Siemens AG, Günzburg, Germany) to measure the amount of CO2 supplied to the system, and multiple extraction vessels to extract different sample sizes or to increase the throughput of the system. The flow rate was 10−25 mL/min for liquid CO2 and 1.00 mL/min for EtOH. Extraction samples of 200 g aerial parts of D. fragrans were used. Extraction time was counted after reaching working pressure and equilibrium flow and was 60−90 min for each sample. This method of SC extraction of plant matrices was previously tested by our team on aerial and/or underground parts of different plant species [35,42,43].

4.4. Liquid Chromatography

We used high-performance liquid chromatography as well as mass spectrometry for the detection and identification of compounds in the extracts of D. fragrans, as reported in our earlier work [33,34].
High-performance liquid chromatography was performed using Shimadzu LC-20 Prominence HPLC (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) equipped with a UV sensor and C18 silica reverse-phase column (4.6 × 150 mm, particle size: 2.7 μm). The mobile phase eluent A was deionized water containing 0.1% formic acid, and eluent B was acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid. Gradient elution was started at 0–2 min; 0% eluent B at 2−50 min, 0−100% B; and control washing at 50–60 min, 100% B. The mobile phase flow rate and column temperature were maintained at 0.3 mL/min and 30 ℃, respectively. The entire HPLC analysis was performed with an electrospray ionization (ESI) detector at a wavelength of 230 nm for identification compounds; the temperature was 18 °C, and the total flow rate 0.25 mL min−1. The injection volume was 10 μL. Additionally, liquid chromatography was combined with a mass spectrometric ion trap for compound identification.

4.5. Mass Spectrometry

MS analysis was performed on an ion trap amaZon SL (Bruker Daltoniks, Bremen, Germany) equipped with an ESI source in negative ion mode. MS analysis was carried out in ESI mode using negative and positive polarity for all samples with data-independent MSE acquisition. The optimized parameters were obtained as follows: ionization source temperature: 70 °C, gas flow: 4 L/min, nebulizer gas (atomizer): 7.3 psi, capillary voltage: 4500 V, end plate bend voltage: 1500 V, fragmentary: 280 V, collision energy: 60 eV. An ion trap was used in the scan range m/z 100−1.700 for MS and MS/MS. The chemical constituents were identified by comparing their retention index, mass spectra, and mass spectrometric fragmentation with a home-library database built by the Group of Biotechnology, Bioengineering and Food Systems at the Far Eastern Federal University (Russia). The capture rate was one spectrum/s for MS and two spectrum/s for MS/MS. Data collection was controlled using Windows software for Bruker Daltoniks. All experiments were replicated in triplicate. A four-stage ion separation mode (MS/MS mode) was implemented.

5. Conclusions

The aerial parts of the D. fragrans plant contain many polyphenolic constituents and constituents of other chemical groups with valuable bioactivity. Tandem mass spectrometry was applied to detect target analytes. Supercritical CO2 extraction of D. fragrans was successfully carried out by a team of authors; certain extraction conditions were selected. The extracts obtained showed both a high content of polyphenolic compounds and a high content of the naphthoquinones, diterpenes polysaccharides, triterpenoids, sesquiterpenes, etc. One hundred and forty-one different bioactive compounds were tentatively identified in D. fragrans extracts. For the first time, 51 chemical constituents from extracts of aerial parts of D. fragrans were tentatively identified. These include flavones, flavonols, anthocyanins, stilbenes pinosylvin and resveratrol, coumarins umbelliferone, fraxetin, 4/6,8-Dihydro-5,7-dihydroxy-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-acetic acid, umbelliferone hexoside, tomenin, etc. The other newly identified compounds of D. fragrans belonged to classes such as naphthoquinones, diterpenoids, polysaccharides, triterpenoids, sesquiterpenes, etc.
The newly obtained mass spectrometric data on the composition of bioactive substances of both polyphenolic and other chemical groups in the aerial parts of D. fragrans can be widely used in further research both in the pharmaceutical industry in the development of new medicinal substances and in the cosmetology industry in the development of a wide range of various drugs.
