Phytochemical and Antioxidant Studies on a Rare Rheum cordatum Losinsk. Species from Kazakhstan.

ABSTRACT: An optimisation of extraction towards an increased antioxidant capacity and the study on the extracts' composition by HPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS were performed on different organs of a rarely studied plant: Rheum cordatum Losinsk (Polygonaceae) growing in Kazakhstan. More than 20 compounds from anthraquinones and phenolics were identified in an optimised method. The plant was proven to contain a wide variety of phenolic compounds (catechins, flavonoids, and their glucosides and phenolic acids) in contrast to the anthraquinone composition, which was mainly represented by emodin and its analogues. The results of the studies could determine the plant as a rich source of pharmacologically precious polyphenols. It was evidenced that the extracting solvents, the time of collection, and the organs tested affected both the chemical content and the antioxidant potential of the extracts. Ethanol?:?water (50?:?50 v/v) was selected as the most beneficial extractant for all metabolites, and based on the principal component analysis of raw data, the radical scavenging potential of the plant was strictly related to the presence of epicatechin gallate (ECG), kaempferol glucoside, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) occurring in this extract at the concentration of 1.69-5%, 0.16-0.47%, and 0.001-2.93%, respectively.

Project description:The species of the genus Juniperus L. play an important role in Kazakhstan forest ecosystems and one of them is Juniperus seravschanica Kom. which has been listed as a rare species in the Red Book of Kazakhstan. The distribution area of J. seravschanica extends from Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan) to northern and eastern Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, Kashmir, southeastern Iran, and Oman. J. seravschanica occurred in the southern part of Kazakhstan along with the ranges Karatau, Talas Alatau, Kyrgyz Alatau, Chu-Ili, Karzhantau, and Ugam. The distribution area of J. seravschanica is constantly decreasing due to intensive logging, forest fires, and excessive cattle grazing. The species has ecological importance in the stabilization of mountain slopes against erosion, for hydrobiological regulation, and as a significant medicinal herb. The species J. excelsa M. Bieb., J. polycarpos K.Koch (var. polycarpos and var. turcomanica R.P.Adams), and J. seravschanica are morphologically very similar with some difficulties in species identification. For a better understanding of the evolutionary relationship of these species in the Juniperus genus, it is important to obtain genetic information on the highly conserved chloroplast (cp) genome. Due to the conserved genomic structure, the cp genome nucleotide sequences are widely used in species distinguishing and reconstructing phylogenetic relationships. Unfortunately, there are no publicly available nucleotide sequences of cp genomes data for J. polycarpos (var. polycarpos and var. turcomanica), J. excelsa and J. seravschanica. We report the de novo assembly of the J. seravschanica chloroplast genome by applying next-generation sequencing technology based on Illumina NovaSeq 6000. The assembled cp genome of J. seravschanica is 127,609 bp in length and contained 118 genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 32 transfer RNA genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. In total 152 simple sequence repeats were identified in the chloroplast genome sequence of J. seravschanica. The Bioproject (PRJNA883033), Sequence Read Archive (SRR21673293), and GenBank (OL684343) data were deposited at National Center for Biotechnology Information.
