Effect of fertilizers and growth stimulants on the content of coumarin and its derivatives in the vegetative mass of melilot

Efeito de fertilizantes e estimulantes de crescimento sobre o teor de cumarina e seus derivados na massa vegetativa do meliloto

Abstract

The paper presents the results of determining the content of coumarin and its derivatives in the melilot using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, including the study of the effect of fertilizers on the quantitative content of coumarin and its derivatives in the composition of the melilot treated by phases using the method of 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Based on the results of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the possibility of qualitative and quantitative determination of the content of coumarin and its derivatives isolated from extracts of fertilized melilot was evaluated. The effect of eight preparations on the plant and its concentration in solution on the content of coumarin substances in the Altynbas yellow melilot variety was studied. It was shown that the preparations have a slight effect on the coumarin content in the melilot and, accordingly, on the quality of feed based on it. In the control variant (variant 9), the coumarin proton content was 9.85%, and the maximum coumarin proton content was observed in the variant where BioEnergy was used as fertilizer and amounted to 22.44%.

1. Introduction

Crop production is a branch of agriculture from which people receive most of the basic foodstuffs, animal feed, and raw materials for the main industries (Baibussenov et al., 2022BAIBUSSENOV, K., BEKBAYEVA, A. and AZHBENOV, V., 2022.

).

Melilot is a crop that can be used for several purposes: food, green fertilizer, and honey plant. Two types of biennial melilot are cultivated in Kazakhstan: yellow melilot (M. officinalis Desz.) and white melilot (M. albus Medic). In recent years a new species has been introduced into culture, the dentated melilot (M. dentatus Pers), which is represented by the Saraychik variety of the selection of the Atyrau branch of the Southwestern Research Institute of Plant Production and Animal Husbandry (Zhumadilova et al., 2015ZHUMADILOVA, Z., MUKHAMBETOV, B., ABDIEVA, K.M. and SHORABAEV, E.Z., 2015. Urozhainost i khimicheskii sostav sortov donnika na zasolennykh pochvakh kazakhstanskogo Priaralya [Productivity and chemical composition of melilot varieties on saline soils of the Kazakh Aral Sea region]. Natsional’naya Assotsiatsiya Uchenykh, vol. 2-4, no. 7, pp. 154-157.). The seeds of the annual melilot were first imported by S.A. Tereshchenko from Russia and sown in the Ontustik Agricultural Park on an area of 16 ha in 2019.

Even infertile lands, including loose sands and heavy salt marsh clays, are suitable for the growth of this plant (Almanova et al., 2023ALMANOVA, Z., KENZHEGULOVA, S., KASHKAROV, A., KEKILBAYEVA, G., USSALINOV, E., YERZHAN, D., ZHAKENOVA, A. and ZVYAGIN, G., 2023.

http://doi.org/10.18280/ijdne.180504...
). As an animal feed, melilot is not inferior in nutritional value to plants such as alfalfa, clover, and sainfoin, and in terms of protein content, it surpasses even corn (Bayazitova et al., 2023BAYAZITOVA, Z., KURMANBAYEVA, A., KAKABAYEV, A., BELGIBAYEVA, A., BAIDALIN, M. and BOGAPOV, I., 2023.

Impact of functional foods on improving the health of the Kazakh population. Advancements in Life Sciences, vol. 10, no. 4, pp. 555-562.). Scientists are working to assess the total unifying ability of the parent plants of the melilot based on leaf formation, feed productivity, and seed productivity (Bekimova et al., 2021BEKIMOVA, G.B., SAGALBEKOV, U.M., BAIDALIN, M.E., YANCHEVA, C.G. and AUZHANOVA, M.A., 2021.

http://doi.org/10.3844/ojbsci.2021.59.68...
). The study of the chemical composition of melilot varieties on saline soils is extremely important for preserving soil fertility and for its use in food for farm animals (Ivanova et al., 2022IVANOVA, N.N., IVANOV, D.I., ZAMOTAEVA, N.A. and NEDAYBORSHCH, J.N., 2022.

http://doi.org/10.1590/1519-6984.277283...
).

Despite the high protein content and nutritional value, the widespread introduction of melilot into culture is hindered by several reasons (Adekiya et al., 2022ADEKIYA, A.O., AREMU, C., OLAYANJU, A., EJUE, W.S., OLAYIWOLA, I.E., NDUPUECHI, D.I., SULEIMAN, O.K. and AJIBOYE, B., 2022.

http://doi.org/10.31830/2348-7542.2022.0...
). The most important of them is the ingrained opinion that it contains a large amount of an alkaloid harmful to animals, coumarin, which reduces the digestibility of animal feed. Coumarin is found in all parts of the plant in an amount from 0.03 to 1.5% per dry substance (Abdel-Baky et al., 2023ABDEL-BAKY, N.F., MOTAWEI, M.I., AL-NUJIBAN, A.A.S., ALDEGHAIRI, M.A., AL-SHURAYM, L.A.M., ALHARBI, M.T.M., ALSOHIM, A.S. and REHAN, M., 2023.

http://doi.org/10.1590/1519-6984.270940...
). However, data on the toxicological effect of coumarin on animals are contradictory. Thus, Bokov et al. (1965)BOKOV, V., KARASHCHUK, I. and RZHANOV, T., 1965.

Ufa: Bashkirskoye knizhnoye izdatel'stvo, 176 p. believe that including melilot in animals' diets improves their digestion by increasing pancreatic secretion (Chernova et al., 2019CHERNOVA, O.D., PROKOPYEV, A.S. and POPOVA, O.A., 2019.

).

Currently, scientists are interested in studying the amount of coumarin in leaf and stem mass (Baidalin et al., 2017BAIDALIN, M.E., ZHUMAGULOV, I.I., SAGALBEKOV, E.U. and SAGALBEKOV, U.M., 2017.

), its synthesis and biological assessment (Ibrahim et al., 2016IBRAHIM, D.M., JUMAL, J. and HARUN, F.W., 2016. Synthesis and biological evaluation of 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-5,7-(Bis-p-ChlorophenylAzo) coumarin. American Journal of Applied Sciences, vol. 13, no. 1, pp. 1-6. http://doi.org/10.3844/ajassp.2016.1.6.
http://doi.org/10.3844/ajassp.2016.1.6...
), the use of coumarin derivatives in pharmacology (Arshad et al., 2014ARSHAD, M.F., SIDDIQUI, N., ELKERDASY, A., AL ROHAIMI, A.H. and KHAN, S.A., 2014.

), and the effect of biological preparations on germination, growth, and development of perennial grasses (Kalin et al., 2023KALIN, A., SAGALBEKOV, U., KAZYDUB, N., BAIDALIN, M. and SURAGANOV, M., 2023.

The effect of growth stimulators on sweet-clover yield and quality and its germination in laboratory and field conditions. Ecology, Environment and Conservation, vol. 24, no. 1, pp. 533-539.).

Melilot contains coumarin and its derivatives (0.4-0.9%: coumarin, dicumarol, dihydrocoumarin, glycoside melilotoside), flavonoids, melilotin, essential oil, polysaccharides, protein, saponins, purine derivatives, phenolic carboxylic acids, phenolic triterpene compounds, carbohydrate compounds, nitrogenous bases, amino acids, tannins, vitamin C, vitamin E, carotene, fat-like substances, and macro- and microelements.

Chemically, the substances contained in the melilot are used for various purposes, for example, the polysaccharides of the melilot restore the process of hematopoiesis in animals exposed to gamma rays and have an anti-inflammatory effect (Sychev, 2008SYCHEV, I.A., 2008. Mekhanizm protivovospalitelnogo deistviya polisakharidov donnika zheltogo [The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory action of yellow melilot polysaccharides]. Russian Medical and Biological Bulletin named after Academician I.P. Pavlov, no. 2, pp. 95-101.). Melilot contains coumarin and its derivatives, including dicumarol with the properties of a strong anticoagulant. The plant has a pungent coumarin smell and a bitter taste.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a spectroscopy technique that is used to determine the unique structure of a compound. Due to this method, the carbon skeleton of an organic compound can be determined. Using this and other instrumental analysis methods, including infrared and mass spectroscopy, one can identify the entire structure of the molecule (Shvannikov, 2019SHVANNIKOV, V.S., 2019. O spektroskopii yadernogo magnitnogo rezonansa [On nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy]. Byulleten Nauki i Praktiki, vol. 5, no. 5, pp. 19-24.).

Currently, such methods of NMR spectroscopy as 1H-NMR spectroscopy and 13C-NMR spectroscopy are widely used (Kachala et al., 2013KACHALA, V.V., KHEMCHYAN, L.L., KASHIN, A.S., ORLOV, N.V., GRACHEV, A.A., ZALESSKII, S.S. and ANANIKOV, V.P., 2013.

http://doi.org/10.1070/RC2013v082n07ABEH...
).

The following research question follows: Will the amount of coumarin content in the melilot increase with the application of fertilizer?

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of various types of fertilizers and growth stimulants on the content of coumarin and its derivatives in the melilot vegetative mass.

2. Materials and Methods

The object of the study was the Altynbas melilot variety. It was selected by breeders of the A.I. Baraev Scientific and Production Center of Grain Farming (Kazakhstan, Akmola region, Shortandinsky district). The variety was bred by E.I. Parsaev, T.M. Kobernitskaya, N.I. Filippova, G.V. Devyatkina, and G.N. Churkina.

The Altynbas yellow melilot variety has been included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Republic of Kazakhstan since 2015 and is allowed to be used in production in the Pavlodar, Akmola, Karaganda, and North Kazakhstan regions. The variety is patented, and a patent of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been obtained.

Field experiments were conducted in 2022-2023 in Kokshetau Experimental Production Farm as part of the research on the project “Improving the technology of cultivating melilot for seeds according to the green principle with elements of organic farming in the Akmola region” within the framework of competition for grant financing of research by young scientists under the Zhas Galim project for 2022-2024 in the Republic of Kazakhstan, Akmola region, Zerendinsky district. We conducted this study in nine variants listed in Table 1.

Table 1
Preparation options in the study.

The field experiments were established in 4-fold repetition. The agricultural technology in the experiments was zonal. The area of the experimental plot was 15 m2, and the placement of plots was randomized. The preceding crop was black fallow.

The sowing method was wide-row, with 75 cm between rows. The seeding rate of melilot seeds with the wide-row method was 8.0 kg/ha. Eight preparations were used in seed treatment: Ammophos, BioEnergy, Isobion, Humate 7B, Gumi, BIOselitra, Fulvimax, and Start Up. These preparations were selected based on the availability of mineral properties suitable for organic farming. Seed treatment with growth stimulants was carried out 12 hours before sowing, followed by their drying.

Laboratory analysis for the content of coumarin and its derivatives was carried out in the NMR spectroscopy engineering laboratory of Kokshetau University named after Sh. Ualikhanov (Kazakhstan, Akmola region, Kokshetau).

In the NMR spectroscopy engineering laboratory, studies were carried out on samples of melilot of the first year of life, treated with preparations twice during the growing season, for the content of coumarin and its derivatives.

Analysis of NMR spectra of samples 1-9 taken in D2O.

1H and 13C NRM spectra were taken using a JNN-ECA Jeol 400 spectrometer (frequency 399.78 and 100.53 MHz, respectively) using a D2O solvent. Chemical shifts were measured relative to the signals of the residual protons of the deuterated solvent.

3. Results

In the 1H NMR spectrum, a proton integral intensity of 19.56N was observed in the control variant in the aromatic region. This indicates the presence of coumarin derivatives in the studied variant.

In variant 2 with the Ammophos mineral fertilizer, the integral intensity of coumarin protons was 27.74 N (Figure 1). The number of saponin and other protons in the sample was 163.01 N. The relative content of coumarin protons in the sample was 14.54%.

For comparative analysis in the studied variants of protons of coumarin compounds and their derivatives, Figure 9 shows an overlay of 1H NMR spectra of the experimental variants.

Figure 9
Overlay of 1H NMR spectra.

A visual examination of the overlayed 1H NMR spectra of the experiment variants shows that in the variants, the relative content of coumarin protons and their derivatives is approximately the same. Moreover, in all variants, the content of protons and their derivatives exceeds the number of coumarins by an order of magnitude, except for the variant with BioEnergy (here, the coumarin proton content is 22.44%) and Isobion (here, the coumarin proton content equals 16.18%). In the remaining variants, the coumarin proton content ranges from 8.51% (Humate 7B) to 14.54% (Ammophos).

4. Discussion

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra were taken on a JNM-ECA Jeol 400 spectrometer (frequency 399.78 and 100.53 MHz, respectively) using D2O solvent in 5 mm wide ampoules at 250 °C. Chemical shifts were measured relative to the signals of the residual protons of the deuterated solvent.

Coumarin compounds are widespread and establishing their content in grass is an important task. Today, the most effective method for determining coumarin in vegetation is the NMR spectroscopy method (Kafarov et al., 2023KAFAROV, E., AVDUEV, I. and LECHIEV, Z., 2023. Segmental structure of the human kidney: an innovative research algorithm. Advancements in Life Sciences, vol. 10, no. 4, pp. 549-554.; Lapshin et al., 2023LAPSHIN, R., MAKSIMOVA, N., LIPSKIY, V., RYZHOV, V., KOROTKY, V. and MUKHINA, I., 2023. Assessment of the safety of pine tree feed additives. Advancements in Life Sciences, vol. 10, no. 3, pp. 406-411.; Nobel Nawab et al., 2023NOBEL NAWAB, N., KHAN, T.N., QURESH, W., RASHEED, S., ALI, M., RAMZAN, A. and MAZHAR HUSSAIN, M., 2023. Alignment of phenotypic selection with quantitatively recorded data in F6 generations of indeterminate tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.).

http://doi.org/10.30848/PJB2023-6(7)...
). Thus, in (Nobel Nawab et al., 2023NOBEL NAWAB, N., KHAN, T.N., QURESH, W., RASHEED, S., ALI, M., RAMZAN, A. and MAZHAR HUSSAIN, M., 2023. Alignment of phenotypic selection with quantitatively recorded data in F6 generations of indeterminate tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Pakistan Journal of Botany, vol. 55, no. 6, pp. 2195-2201. http://doi.org/10.30848/PJB2023-6(7).
http://doi.org/10.30848/PJB2023-6(7)...
), the spectra of more than 100 natural coumarins were studied and analyzed using 1H NMR spectroscopy. The spectra of 209 natural and synthetic coumarins were studied using 13C NMR spectroscopy (Kafarov et al., 2023KAFAROV, E., AVDUEV, I. and LECHIEV, Z., 2023. Segmental structure of the human kidney: an innovative research algorithm. Advancements in Life Sciences, vol. 10, no. 4, pp. 549-554.). Therefore, the NMR spectroscopy method was chosen by us to analyze the content of coumarin and its derivatives in samples of melilot obtained using various organic fertilizers and plant growth stimulants. To determine the content of coumarin and its derivatives in a sample of melilot, it is divided into test parts, crushed, and dissolved in an appropriate solvent, and then the extracted component is isolated. The dry isolated component is dissolved in deuterated water and the 1H and 13C NMR spectra are taken. Since coumarin and its derivatives contain fragments of unsaturated aromatic lactones in their composition, the NMR signals of 1H protons of coumarin and its derivatives should be manifested at 6-9 ppm.

The group of 1H NMR signals in the range 0.5-5.5 parts per million (ppm) belong to methyl, methylene, methine, and olefin protons, which are found in triterpenoids and their derivatives. They are often found in saponins. The integral proton intensity of these fragments is 179.04 N (Figure 10). The relative content of coumarin protons in the control variant is 9.85%.

Figure 10
1H NMR spectrum in the control variant.

The results of NMR spectroscopy made it possible to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative content of coumarin compounds and their derivatives isolated from extracts of melilot treated with growth stimulants.

In melilot sprayed with preparations, the concentration of coumarin did not change significantly. It was determined that in the control variant, the coumarin proton content was 9.85%, and the maximum coumarin proton content was observed in the variant where BioEnergy was used as fertilizer (22.44%).

Based on the obtained results, it can be suggested that most of the preparations used for the treatment of melilot have a slight effect on the quality of feed and the coumarin content.

5. Conclusions

Based on the results of the study, we concluded that the addition of fertilizers to the soil has a slight effect on the content of coumarin protons and feed quality: the highest coumarin content was detected with BioEnergy and amounted to 22.44%. It should be borne in mind that the results of the study were limited by the specifics of the region and the conditions of growing melilot.
