Portulaca oleracea, a rich source of polar lipids: Chemical profile by LC-ESI/LTQOrbitrap/MS/MSn and in vitro preliminary anti-inflammatory activity
Food Chemistry(2022)
摘要
Considering the ongoing interest in foods rich in nutrients like polyunsaturated fatty acids and bioactive polar lipids, the chemical and biological investigation of Portulaca oleracea (purslane), a herbaceous plant typically appreciated in Mediterranean and Asiatic diet, was carried out. The LC-ESI/HRMS/MSn analysis of extracts and lipid enriched fractions of purslane edible parts provided a comprehensive polar lipid profile, ranging from linear and cyclic oxylipins to high molecular weight lipids including glycolipids, phospholipids and sphingolipids. The evaluation of the anti-inflammatory potential by in vitro reporter gene assays highlighted the ability of purslane lipid enriched fractions, at a concentration of 20 µg/ml, to inhibit the TNF-α-stimulated NF-kB pathway by 30–40% and to activate PPAR-ɣ and Nrf2 transcription factors to the same extent or more than the positive control, respectively. Altogether, these results encourage to revalue purslane in human nutrition as a source of bioactive polar lipids.
