Eleven previously undescribed sesquiterpenoids (8-18), one undescribed jasmonic acid derivative (35) and 28 known compounds were isolated from the leaves of Artemisia stolonifera. Undescribed compounds with their absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ECD calculation. Compound 8 was identified as a rare sesquiterpenoid featuring a rearranged 5/8 bicyclic ring system, whereas compound 17 was found to be an unprecedented monocyclic sesquiterpenoid with methyl rearrangement.

This study is based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography(UPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS), and network pharmacology methods to analyze and predict potential quality markers(Q-markers) of Artemisiae Argyi Folium. First, UPLC and GC-MS techniques were used to analyze the content of 12 non-volatile components and 8 volatile components in the leaves of 33 Artemisia argyi germplasm resources as candidate Q-markers. Subsequently, network pharmacology was employed to construct a "component-target-pathway-efficacy" network to screen out core Q-markers, and the biological activity of the markers was validated using molecular docking.

The quality of moxa is an important factor affecting moxibustion therapy, and traditionally, 3-year moxa is considered optimal, although scientific data are lacking. This study focused on 1-year and 3-year moxa from Artemisia stolonifera and A. argyi(leaf-to-moxa ratio of 10∶1) as research objects.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how apigenin (APG) and oxymatrine (OMT) affect the growth of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines A549 and NCI-H1975, using various assays to measure cell viability and proliferation.
  • Results show that both APG and the combination of APG with OMT significantly reduce cell viability and colony formation ability in these cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner.
  • The findings suggest that APG combined with OMT inhibits NSCLC potentially by down-regulating the expression of key proteins in the EGFR signaling pathway, providing a foundational understanding for future cancer treatments.

This study aims to clarify the species and biological characteristics of the pathogen causing southern blight in Aster tataricus and screen out effective fungicides for the prevention and control of this disease. We collected the typical diseased plants and sclerotia on soil surface for the isolation of the pathogen, and identified the pathogen based on morphological characteristics, molecular biological characteristics, and pathogenicity. Further, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of 12 fungicides on the pathogen by plate growth inhibition assay.

To clarify the content characteristics of mineral elements in different Artemisia argyi germplasm resources and their relationship with the quality properties of Artemisiae Argyi Folium, this study measured the content of 10 mineral elements including nitrogen(N), phosphorus(P), potassium(K), calcium(Ca), magnesium(Mg), aluminum(Al), manganese(Mn), iron(Fe), copper(Cu), and zinc(Zn) in 100 Artemisia argyi germplasm samples. Besides, their relationship with the quality properties of Artemisiae Argyi Folium was explored by correlation analysis, path analysis, and cluster analysis. The results demonstrated that the variation coefficient of the 10 mineral elements in Artemisiae Argyi Folium ranged from 12.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effects of four active fractions from Camellia nitidissima (including leaf and flower polyphenols and saponins) on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
  • Various assays (MTT, wound healing, Transwell) were conducted to assess how these fractions influence cell proliferation and migration in NSCLC cell lines.
  • Results indicated a dose-dependent inhibition of cell viability and migration, with the fractions significantly reducing EGFR activity and protein expression in downstream signaling pathways, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for these compounds in NSCLC treatment.
