OBJECTIVE: To screen the antidepressant components of saffron based on spectrum-effect correlation analysis. METHODS: Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS) technology was used to characterize the chemical components of saffron samples from ten different regions. An in vitro model of depression was established on PC12 cells injury induced by corticosterone. The survival rate of cell was measured by CCK-8
and the antidepressant effects of saffron were evaluated. The correlation between effects and components was analyzed by regression analysis. RESULTS: Five kinds of main components were identified. And the model of PC12 cells injury as carrier was able to evaluate the antidepressant effect in vitro. Through the simple and multiple regression analysis
crocin-Ⅰ
crocin-Ⅱ and safranal were closely related to the the antidepressant components of saffron. CONCLUSIONS:Crocin-Ⅰ
crocin-Ⅱ and safranal may be highly correlated with the antidepressant effect of saffron.
