Abstract
Three new constituents, 4a-hydroxy-1-methyl-4,4a,8,8a-tetrahydro-1 H-isochromene-3,7-dione (1), 1-(2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-3-((3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2 H-pyran-2-yl)oxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)ethan-1-one (2), and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1 H-pyrrolizin-1-one (3), together with 3 known flavonoids (4-6), 6 organic acids (7-12), 1 glycoside (13), and 2 terpenoids (14-15) were isolated from the 50 % ethanol extract of the whole plant of Senecio raphanifolius Wall. ex DC. The structures of these novel compounds were determined using high-resolution electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry and NMR, mainly using 2D NMR. The anti-inflammatory activities of compounds 1-3 were evaluated based on their ability to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Compound 1 could reduce NO levels and had an inhibition rate of 42.86 % at 100 µM.
