Abstract:
ABATRACTNine compounds, five phenolic glycosides (1, 2, 4-6), three phenylpropanoids (7-9), and a furanone glycoside (3), were isolated from aqueous soluble extract of the dried roots of Anemone chinensis Bunge. The structures of new compounds (1-4) were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis as well as chemical evidence. Pulsatillanin A (1) demonstrated significant antioxidant effects through scavenging free radical in DPPH assay, and relieved the oxidative stress in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells by reducing ROS production, enhancing antioxidant enzyme SOD activity, replenishing depleted GSH in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot analysis revealed that 1 showed antioxidant activity via activating Nrf2 signaling pathway.[Formula: see text].
