ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the fruits of Cnidium monnieri and their effects on proliferation of UMR106 cells. Methods: The constituents were separated by column chromatography, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analyses. The proliferation of all isolated compounds on osteoblast-like UMR106 cells was determined. Results: Nine compounds were isolated and identified as 5,7-dihydroxy-6,8-dimethoxy-2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one (1), 5-hydroxy-2- hydroxymethyl-4H-chromen-4-one (2), (+)-marmesin (3), bergaptol (4), isobergapten (5), 7-hydroxy-8-(2',3'-dihydroxy-3'-methyl-butyl)-coumarin (6), murraol (7), coniferyl aldehyde (8), and m-hydroxybenzoic acid (9). Compounds 1, 3, and 7 showed the significant proliferative activities on UMR106 cells lines at the concentration of 1 × 10-10 mol/L and the proliferative ratios were 31.55%, 32.39% and 30.87%. Conclusion: Compounds 1-6 are isolated from the specie of Cnidium Cusson for the first time. Compounds 1, 3, and 7 increase UMR106 cells proliferation to some extent.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents from Peucedanum decursivum. Methods: P. decursivum was extracted with 95% ethanol, the compounds were isolated via various chromatographic methods, and their structures were identified by detailed spectroscopic analyses. Results: Twelve compounds were isolated from the acetic ether fraction in the 95% extract of P. decursivum and were identified as isobergapten (1), bergapten (2), pimpinellin (3), isopimpinellin (4), columbianetin acetate (5), sphondin (6), qianhucoumarin E (7), xanthotoxin (8), osthole (9), ferulic acid (10), β-sitosterol (11), and psoralen (12). Conclusion: Compounds 1, 4, and 5 are isolated from the plants in Peucedanum L. for the first time, and compounds 2, 3, 6-10, and 12 are firstly isolated from P. decursivum.
