Chemical Constituents of Bulb of Lilium lancifolium Thunberg and Lilium tsingtauense Gilg

Abstract

In this study, the chemical constituents of bulb from Lilium lancifolium and Lilium tsingtauense were investigated. The content of moisture, crude protein and fiber of bulb from L. tsingtauense was higher than that of L. lancifolium, whereas the content of crude ash and nitrogen free extract of bulb from L. lancifolium was higher than that of L. tsingtauense. HPLC analysis revealed that total free sugar and amino acid content of bulb from L. tsingtauense was higher than that of L. lancifolium. There was no remarkable difference in proximate composition between the two species. The content of p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid was 1.93 mg% and 0.25 mg% in ethyl acetate fraction of L. lancifolium, on the other hand, 2.94 mg% and 0.46 mg% in ether fraction of L. tsingtauense. These results suggest that the bulb of L. tsingtauense can be considered as promising oriental medicine resource likewise L. lancifolium.

Anti-Melanogenic Effects of Lilium lancifolium Root Extract via Downregulation of PKA/CREB and MAPK/CREB Signaling Pathways in B16F10 Cells

“…Despite numerous studies elucidating the beneficial physiological effects of L. lancifolium, including its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, there is a scarcity of research on its physiological interactions within the skin [56,58,90]. Notably, the leaves, roots, and bulbs of L. lancifolium have been utilized in medicinal practices in Northeast Asia and are recognized for their amino acids, polysaccharides, saponins, phenylpropanoids, phenolics, and other compounds, suggesting their potential to ameliorate skin conditions [57][58][59][60]. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the anti-melanogenic effects of L. lancifolium on B16F10 cells, anticipating its physiological role in the skin.…”

“…Polysaccharides from L. lancifolium have various beneficial effects, such as diminishing nitric oxide production in macrophages [51,55,56]. The leaves, roots, and bulbs of L. lancifolium contain amino acids, polysaccharides, saponins, phenylpropanoids, phenolics, and other constituents [57][58][59][60]. This composition suggests the potential capacity to improve skin conditions.…”

Long-term intake of Lilium lancifolium mitigated osteoarthritic effects by suppressing inflammatory cytokines in a dog model

“…It is native to China, Japan, Korea, and the Russian Far East. This plant is approximately 1.5 m long, with round scales measuring 5-8 cm in diameter [21]. L. lancifolium exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by lowering inflammatory cytokines [22,23] and scavenging free radicals [24].…”

The complete mitogenome sequence of the coral lily (Lilium pumilum) and the Lanzhou lily (Lilium davidii) in China

“…Lilium species are perennial herbaceous plants with ornamental and notable medicinal value [ 9 ]. In the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the pharmaceutical characteristics of Lilium species, especially the extracts including polysaccharides, kaempferol and jatropham, have been widely studied [ 10 , 11 ]. For instance, the extract from Lilium species showed antidiabetic, antioxidant, antiapoptotic and health-protective properties [ 10 , 12 , 13 ].…”
