Prunellate A (1), an unprecedented lignan lactone bearing a 6/7/6/5 tetracyclic system with C-2–C-2′ and C-7–C-8′ single bond linkage, probably derived from the rearrangement of methyl rosmarinate (2), has been isolated medicinal plant Prunella vulgaris. An extensive interpretation multispectroscopic data including HRMS, IR, 1D, 2D NMR elucidated its structure. The stereochemical assignment was conclusively established through electronic circular dichroism (ECD) experiments. possible...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the major form of primary liver cancer, is a common cause cancer-related death worldwide. Signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling constantly activated in HCC has been proposed as chemotherapeutic target for HCC. Antrodia camphorata (AC), medicinal mushroom unique to Taiwan, traditionally used treating Whereas natural AC scarce, cultured mycelia are becoming alternatives. In this study, we investigated anti-HCC effects ethyl acetate...

Five new triterpenoids, including four ursane types (1-4) and one oleanane type (5), together with 15 known pentacyclic triterpenoids (6-20) were isolated from the fruit spikes of Prunella vulgaris L., a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Their structures elucidated based on IR, HR-ESI-MS, NMR spectroscopic data. The SW579 cell line was used to evaluate anti-thyroid cancer activities (1-20). results indicated that (7-9), (16), (19) exhibited apparent inhibitory activity IC50 values...
