RESUMO
Four phenylpropanoid glucosides (1-4) and five lignan glycosides (5-9) were isolated from the aerial parts of Lespedeza cuneata, together with three known lignan glycosides (10-12). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configurations of compounds 5-9 were determined from the CD spectra. In addition, the compounds were tested for their ability to activate the transcription effect on xbp1 promoter. Compounds 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, and 12 could activate the transcription of xbp1 to varying degrees, with EC50 values ranging from 0.18 to 0.64 µM.

Taking application of some isolation and purification technologies, including crushing, solvent extraction, preliminary solvent isolation, column chromatographies over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 gel and preparative HPLC, 8 compounds were obtained from the seeds of Jufeng grape sourced from market. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods and comparison with literature values as Catechin (1), Epicatechin (2), quercetin (3), ethylgallate (4), rel-(2S, 3R) -2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) -3- (hydroxymethyl)-5-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ol (5), rel-(2α, 3ß)-7-O-methylcedrusin (6), rel-(1R,2S)-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) -2-(4-(3-hydroxypropyl) -2-methoxyphenoxy) propane-1,3-diol (7), and (+) -isolariciresinol (8), respectively. Compounds 5-8 were serial lignans isolated from the seeds of grape for the first time. Structurally, 5 and 6 belong in benzofuran-8,3'-neolignans, 7 in 8,4'-oxyneolignan, and 8 in 8,8' :2,7'-cyclolignan. According to in vitro activity evaluation conducted in cell model, compound 6 showed significant anti-oxidative ability, with the activity of RAW264. 7 cell superoxide dismutase being raised evidently in the test as compared with the positive anti-oxidative agents, compounds 1 and 2.

Five new saikosaponins, saikosaponin w (1), 21ß-hydroxysaikosaponin b2 (2), 6â³-O-acetylsaikosaponin e (3), 6â³-O-acetylsaikosaponin b1 (4), and 6â³-O-acetylsaikosaponin b3 (5), along with twenty-two known ones (6-27), have been isolated from the roots of Bupleurum chinense. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis, including mainly 1D and 2D NMR and HRESI-MS, qualitative chemical methods, and comparison with the literatures. Osteoclast-inhibiting activity of some of the isolated compounds was evaluated in vitro, with five ones have shown significant activity by inhibitory rates ranging from 48.3% to 56.1% at the concentration of 10µM and with significant differences among groups observed.

Coptisine hydrochloride, as a natural protoberberine alkaloid quaternary ammonium salt, can be found in many species of Ranunculaceae and Papaveraceae plants. Despite no in-depth studies on coptisine hydrochloride, some literatures have reported that coptisine hydrochloride has such pharmacological activities as inhibition of monoamine oxidase of type A, selective inhibition and double inhibition against vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, inhibition of differentiation and function of osteoclasts, selective regulation of multidrug-resistant and drug-resistant proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells, anti-fungus, protection of gastric-mucous membrane, cytotoxicity, and myocardial protection. Given to the fact of the lack of systematic review and summary of studies on coptisine hydrochloride, we summarize and analyze the study literatures on the pharmacological activity of coptisine hydrochloride published in recent years, so as to provide information for studies on new drugs of coptisine hydrochloride on the basis of the pharmacological activity.
