Abstract:
Phytochemical analysis of Artemisia annua aerial parts revealed three novel lignan glycosides (arteannuoside A-B, annusesquilignanoside) and 18 known compounds (4-21), including spanning megastigmanes (4-13), coumarin (14), nitrogen-containing compound (15), phenylethanol glycoside (16), and phenolic compounds (17-21). Compounds (4, 6, 10, 12, 15-18) were first isolated from this species. Structural characterization employed NMR spectroscopy and literature comparison. The new compounds demonstrated concentration-dependent IL-6 inhibition in LPS-activated macrophages. At 100 μM, compounds 1 (68.75%), 2 (71.89%) and 3 (61.34%) showed strong activity, while at 50 μM yielded 33.45%, 39.37%, and 45.36% inhibition respectively.

Elements
Elements are classified as atomic or molecular based on the nature of their basic units. They are unique forms of matter with specific chemical and physical properties that cannot break down into smaller substances by ordinary chemical reactions. There...

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
