Abstract:

Fifteen compounds were isolated from the twigs of Euscaphis konishii Hayata.The structure of the compounds was identified by physico-chemical properties and spectral data, and the fifteen compounds were as follows:threo-1-(4-hdroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2[4-(4'-hydroxypropyl)-2'-methoxyphenoxy] -1, 3-propanediol(1), acernikol (2), nortrachelogenin-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), nortrachelogenin 4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), 2-[4-(1-hydroxypropyl)-3-methoxyphenoxy] -1, 3-propanediol (5), 5, 7-dihydroxy-2-methylchromanone (6), isobiflorin (7), biflorin (8), quercetin-3-O-α-L-arabinose (9), gallic acid (10), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzaldehyde (11), stearic acid (12), 19α-hydroxy ursolic acid (13), β-sitosterol (14), daucosterol (15).All compounds except 7, 8, 14, 15 were isolated from the plants of the genus E. konishii for the first time.The evaluation results of anti-inflammatory activity showed that the inhibition rates of lipopolysaccharide-induced murine IL-6 secretion by compound 2 and 4 were (63.4±7.1)% and (58.6±4.6)%, respectively, at the concentration of 10 μmol/L.The medium inhibitory activity was shown to be slightly lower than that of the positive control drug dexamethasone.

Key words: Euscaphis konishii Hayata, chemical constituents, structures identification, IL-6
