Abstract

The current study was undertaken to isolate and identify anti-inflammatory and antiallergic active compounds in the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions of an ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Stellera chamaejasme (SCAE). A new maltol glucoside, maltol 3-(6″-(2-( E)-butenoyl)-glucoside) and benzoic acid, daphnoretin (a coumarin), 6 flavonoids (apigenin, genkwanin, taxifolin, apigenin 7- O-glucoside, luteolin 7- O-sambubioside, genkwanin 5- O-glucoside), and 2 lignans (matairesinoside and lariciresinol) were isolated from SCAE by chromatographic separation. Their chemical structures were elucidated by analyzing spectroscopic data, including 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (Fig1). Maltol 3-(6″-(2-( E)-butenoyl)-glucoside) significantly inhibited β-hexosaminidase release by 85.5% in immunoglobulin E and dinitrophenyl/bovine serum albumin (DNP/BSA)-induced RBL-2H3 cells. Benzoic acid from S. chamaejasme inhibited β-hexosaminidase release (by 80.2%) in IgE and DNP/BSA-induced RBL-2H3 cells and interleukin-4 messenger ribonucleic acid expression (by 21.9% inhibition) in propidium iodide-induced RBL-2H3 cells.

Highlights

  • The current study was undertaken to isolate and identify anti-i­nflammatory and antiallergic active compounds in the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions of an ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Stellera chamaejasme (SCAE)

  • immunoglobulin E (IgE)-m­ ediated allergies are classified as Type I hypersensitivities and include allergic conjunctivitis, allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis.[2,3]

  • Ten other compounds were identified in SCAE by comparing 1H-­NMR, 13C-­ NMR, and MS data with literature values; these compounds were benzoic acid (1),[20] daphnoretin (2),[21] apigenin (3),[22] genkwanin (4),[23] taxifolin (5),[24] apigenin 7-O­ -­glucoside (6),[25] luteolin 7-O­ -­sambubioside (7),[26] genkwanin 5-O­ -­glucoside (8),[27,28] matairesinoside (10),[29] and lariciresinol (11).[30]

Summary

Introduction

The current study was undertaken to isolate and identify anti-i­nflammatory and antiallergic active compounds in the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions of an ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Stellera chamaejasme (SCAE). Natural Product Communications to inhibit IL-4 expression and β-hexosaminidase release in RBL-2­ H3 mast cells (Figure 1). Ten other compounds were identified in SCAE by comparing 1H-­NMR, 13C-­ NMR, and MS data with literature values; these compounds were benzoic acid (1),[20] daphnoretin (2),[21] apigenin (3),[22] genkwanin (4),[23] taxifolin (5),[24] apigenin 7-O­ -­glucoside (6),[25] luteolin 7-O­ -­sambubioside (7),[26] genkwanin 5-O­ -­glucoside (8),[27,28] matairesinoside (10),[29] and lariciresinol (11).[30]
