RESUMO
A new triterpenoid, namely 3ß-hydroxy-13ß,28-epoxyolean-11-enyl trans-caffeate (1), was isolated from the EtOAc extract from Ixeris chinensis Nakai. The structures of 1 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS and extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques.

High-speed countercurrent chromatography, combined with macroporous resin chromatography were applied to the separation and purification of flavans from Ixeris chinensis. Four flavans, namely, 5-methoxy-7,4'-dihydroxyflavan-3-ol (1), 5,7-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxyflavan-3-ol (2), 5,7-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxyflavan (3), and 5,7-dimethoxy-8-methyl-4'-hydroxyflavan (4), were obtained from I. chinensis for the first time. Their chemical structural identification was carried out by spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Amounts of 13.2 mg of compound 1, 6.4 mg of compound 2, 5.8 mg of compound 3, and 14.5 mg of compound 4 were separated from 120 mg 75% ethanol fraction. The purities of 1-4 were 99.1, 99.2, 97.3, and 98.6 %, respectively.

The aerial parts of Artemisia frigida Willd. are used to treat joint swelling, renal heat, abnormal menstruation, and sore carbuncle. The anti-inflammatory effects of A. frigida have been well-known in folk medicine, suggesting that components extracted from A. frigida could potentially treat inflammatory disease. With the aim of discovering bioactive compounds, in this study, we extracted total flavonoids from the aerial parts of A. frigida and investigated their anti-inflammatory effects against inflammation induced by carrageenan and egg albumin in rats. At the doses studied, total flavonoids (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg) and some isolated compounds (30 mg/kg) showed significant and dose-dependent anti-inflammatory effects. According to the high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the total flavonoids from A. frigida, there are five major compounds, namely, 5-hydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxy-7-O-ß-d-glucuronide (F1), 5-hydroxy-3',4',5'-trimethoxy-7-O-ß-d-glucuronide (F2), 5,7,3'-trihydroxy-6,4'-dimethoxyflavone (F3), 5,3'-dihydroxy-6,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone (F4), and 5,3'-dihydroxy-3,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone (F5), which may explain the anti-inflammatory activity.
