RESUMO
Two new labdane diterpenoids, Leojaponin E (1) and F (2), together with three known compounds were isolated from the dried herb of Leonurus japonicus Houtt., Lamiaceae. Their structures were determined based on extensive spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were elucidated on the basis of experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. In addition, compounds 1 and 2 exerted inhibition of LPS-induced PGE2 production in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations ranging from 5 to 20 µM.

A new compound(Z)-6-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5,7-dimethylaurone was isolated from Cleistocalyx operculatus flower buds. Its structure was identified by spectroscopic data including MS, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR HSQC and HMBC. A known compound, 2',4'-dihydroxy-6'-methoxy-3'5'-dimethylchalcone (DMC), was also isolated and identified,and used as material to synthesize (Z)-6-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5,7-dimethylaurone.Anti-inflammatory activities of the two compounds were tested in vitro. The results showed that (Z)-6-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5,7-dimethylaurone possesses much stronger PGE2 inhibitory activity (IC50 6.12 nmol·L⻹) than the positive control ibuprofen ï¼68.66 nmol·L⻹ï¼.

To discuss the synergistic mechanism of compatible use of two medicinal herbs,Panax notoginseng and Bletilla striata, an HPLC was established to determine two ginseng saponins (20S)-ginseng saponin Rg3 and ginseng saponin Rh4 contained in single decoction of Panax notoginseng as well as in compound decoction of Panax notoginseng and Bletillastriata in different compatibility ratio (1â¶0.5, 1â¶1, 1â¶2), followed by analyzing the impact of amount of notoginsenosides after compatibility. As a result, compared with the single decoction of Panax notoginseng, the contents of ginseng saponin Rg3 and ginseng saponin Rh4 in the compound decoction of Panax notoginseng and Bletillastriata were on the rise as the increasement of the amount of Bletillastriata. The contents of the notoginsengsaponin R1, ginseng saponin Rg1 and ginseng saponin Rb1 of Panax notoginseng single decoction were significantly decreased after compatibility. Therefore, after compatibility, it was more easy to produce (20S)-ginseng saponin Rg3 and ginseng saponin Rh4.This study can extend to a method of preparation of (20S)-ginseng saponin Rg3 and ginseng saponin Rh4. Furthermore, after compatibility, two ginseng saponins which had lipase inhibitory effect were both increased significantly, indicating that the compatibility of these two herb medicines may have effect on losing weight.
