Abstract:
This study investigates the chemical constituents and biological activities of the stems of the Mongolian medicinal plant Syringa oblata Lindl. ("Alashan-Agaru"). Through chromatographic separation and spectroscopic analysis, 34 compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction, including four new and ten first-reported in Syringa species. Using an LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophage model, several compounds significantly inhibited NO production. It is known that compound 34 significantly reduced the levels of interleukin - 1β, interleukin - 6 and CD14. In addition, among the 23 lignans detected by the DPPH method, five showed strong antioxidant activity, with half - maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) values lower than that of vitamin C. These results provide a scientific basis for the medicinal use of the stems of Syringa reticulata var. amurensis.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
