      Bioactive clerodane diterpenes of giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea Ait.) root extract
      Ágnes M. MÓRICZ*, D. KRÜZSELYI, P.G. OTT, Z. GARÁDI, S. BÉNI, G.E. MORLOCK, J. BAKONYI (*Plant Protection Institute, Centre for Agricultural Research, 1022 Budapest, Hungary; moricz.agnes@atk.hu)

      Journal Chromatogr A, 1641, 461727 (2021). HPTLc of an ethanolic maceration of Solidago gigantea roots (Asteraceae) on silica gel with n-hexane – isopropyl acetate – acetone 16:3:1, or n-hexane – isopropyl acetate – acetic acid 40:9:1. With the second mobile phase, acid residues had to be eliminated by 20 min automated drying or by 2 h incubation with potassium hydroxide in the opposite twin trough (followed by 15 min cold air streaming); this latter mobile phase allowed to obtain higher hRF values, but some butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibiting activities were lost. The chromatograms were documented at UV 254 nm and 365 nm and white light before and after A) derivatization with vanillin – sulfuric acid reagent; B) enzymatic reaction by immersion into acetylcholinesterase, BChE, glucosidase and amylase solutions; C) Aliivibrio fischeri and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria bioassays, to detect activity against Gram-negative bacteria; D) Bacillus subtilis bioassay to detect activity against Gram-positive bacteria; E) a new antifungal assay with Fusarium avenaceum. For this assay, the chromatograms were immersed 6 s into the isolated mycelium suspension (diluted to OD600 0.4-0.8) and incubated in a vapor chamber at 21 °C for 48-72 h. Inhibition zones were indicated by the lack of visible white fungal hyphae. An aqueous solution of iodonitrotetrazolium (INT, 1 mg/ml) was sprayed on the plate to enhance the contrast (bright zones on a purple background). Benomyl (a benzimidazole fungicide) was used as positive control. Eight clerodane diterpenes (including kingidiol, hautriwaic lactone, and solidagoic acids A and B) were identified from six multipotent zones by bioassay-guided purification through preparative flash chromatography and HPLC, followed by HRMS and NMR, as well as by HPTLC hyphenated to quadrupole-orbitrap HRMS: A) by eluting with methanol (flow 100 µL/min) the compounds from the plate through the oval elution head of an interface of heated electro-spray ionization (spray voltage 3.5 kV, capillary temperature 270 °C, nitrogen as sheath and auxiliary gas, full scan in negative and positive ionization modes in m/z range 50-750); B) without eluent with a DART interface (Direct Analysis in Real-Time, needle voltage 4 kV, grid voltage 50 V, helium as gas, temperature 500 °C, full scan in positive ionization mode in m/z range 100-750).
