Anti-inflammatory and Antiosteoporosis Flavonoids from the Rhizomes of Helminthostachys zeylanica
2017
Chemical investigation of the rhizomes of Helminthostachys zeylanica led to the isolation of eight new flavonoids including six cyclized geranylflavonoids, ugonins V–X (1–3), (10R,11S)-ugonin N (4), (10R,11S)-ugonin S (5), and ugonin Y (6), as well as two quercetin glucosides, quercetin-4′-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranoside (7) and quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-4′-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranoside (8). The structures of these compounds were established by spectroscopic analyses and acid hydrolysis of the sugar moiety. Among the isolated compounds, 1, 2, 5, 6, ugonins J–S (9–13), ugonstilbene A (14), and ugonin L (23) were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in microglial cells. Except for 1, 5, and 13, all other compounds inhibited NO production with IC50 values of 6.2–10.1 μM and were more potent than the positive control, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate. Compounds 1, 2, 5, 6, and 10–13 were tested for antiosteo...
