Sevoflurane exerts protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and pyroptosis through the circular RNA PAN3/microRNA-29b-3p/stromal cell-derived factor 4 axis.

Objective: Sevoflurane is suggested to exert protective functions against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). However, the particular mechanism remains elusive. Therefore, this research explored the mechanism of sevoflurane in MIRI-induced damage and pyroptosis.

Tetralones and flavonoids from Pyrola calliantha.

Two new tetralones, pyrolones A (1) and B (2), and a new flavonol glycoside, 2''-O-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)hyperin (3), were isolated from Pyrola calliantha (whole plant), together with six structurally related compounds, including 2''-O-galloylhyperin (4), hyperin (5), formononetin (6), quercetin 3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (7), quercetin 3-O-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside (8), and kaempferol 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside (9). The structures and absolute configurations of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic (UV, ORD, CD, NMR) and mass-spectrometric (HR-ESI-MS) analyses.
