In-vitro cardiovascular protective activity of a new achillinoside from Achillea alpina

Abstract Achillinoside was isolated from methanol extract of Achillea alpina L., Asteraceae. The structure of the compound was characterized based on various spectrum data, including IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR. The cardiovascular protective effect of achillinoside was tested on H 2 O 2 -induced H9c2 cells. In our research, achillinoside could increase the cell viability dose-dependently in H 2 O 2 -induced H9c2 cells. In addition, the levels of caspase-3/9 cells were significantly decreased in H 2 O 2 and achillinoside incubated H9c2 cells.
