Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS) are indispensable analytical tools to provide chemical fingerprints in metabolomics studies. The present study evaluated radiation breeding wheat lines for chemical changes by non-targeted NMR-based metabolomics analysis of bran extracts. Multivariate analysis following spectral binning suggested pyrrole-2-carbaldehydes as chemical markers of four mutant lines with distinct NMR fingerprints in a δH range of 9.28-9.40 ppm. Further NMR and MS data analysis, along with chromatographic fractionation and synthetic preparation, aimed at structure identification of marker metabolites and identified five pyrrole-2-carbaldehydes. Quantum-mechanical driven 1H iterative full spin analysis (QM-HiFSA) on synthetic pyrrole-2-carbaldehydes provided a precise description of complex peak patterns. Biological evaluation of pyrrole-2-carbaldehydes was performed with nine synthetic products, and six compounds showed hepatoprotective effects via modulation of reactive oxygen species production. Given that three out of five identified in wheat bran of radiation were described for hepatoprotective activity, the value of radiation mutation to greatly enhance pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde production was supported.
