Abstract:
Seven undescribed (valejatadoids A-G) and 26 known iridoids were obtained from the roots and rhizomes of Valeriana jatamansi. Their structures were determined based on extensive spectroscopic data, especially 1D and 2D NMR, along with HRESIMS. Valejatadoid B is a monoene-type iridoid with a unique double bond between C-4 and C-5. Valejatadoids D-G, jatamanin U, jatamanin O, jatamanvaltrate E, valeriotetrate C, IVHD-valtrate, 10-isovaleroxy-valtrathydrin, jatamanvaltrate Q, valeriandoid F, jatamanvaltrate K, jatamanvaltrate W and isovaltrate were more potent than the positive control when evaluated for inhibition of NO production. Among them, valeriandoid F and jatamanvaltrate K exhibited the most significant inhibitory effects with IC50 values of 0.88 and 0.62 μM, respectively. In addition, valeriandoid F selectively inhibited the proliferation of human glioma stem cell lines, GSC-3# and GSC-18#, with IC50 values of 7.16 and 5.75 μM, respectively.
