Abstract:
Five new iridoids, patriscabioins M-Q and a new monoterpene, eldanolide acid, together with three known iridoids, were isolated from the 95% aqueous EtOH extract whole plants of Patrinia villosa Juss. The structures were established by a variety of spectroscopic analysis, such as IR, 1 D and 2 D NMR spectra, MS, ECD and X-ray diffraction data. Bioactivity screening revealed the inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production of them in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW264.7 cells with Aminoguanidine Hydrochloride as the positive control. Among them, patriscabioin M (1), patriscabioin N (2), patriscabioin P (4), patriscabioin Q (5), 8,9-didehydro-7-hydroxydolichodia (7) were found to markedly reduce LPS-induced NO production in murine macrophage cells with IC50 values of 18.14, 18.93, 22.00, 13.64, 26.48 μM, respectively.
