Targeted isolation of lignans and triterpenoids from kadsura coccinea by molecular networking and anti-RA-FLS activity.

In this study, six compounds (four triterpenoids named heilaohutriterpenes A-D and two lignans name heilaohusuins F and G) together with 21 known compounds were isolated from roots of Kadsura coccinea (Lem.) A. C.

Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) is a condition in which the joints are in a weakly acidic environment. In RA, RA fibroblastlike synoviocytes( RAFLS) in the joints become abnormally activated and secrete a large amount of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs), and the receptor protein CD44 on the cell membrane is specifically upregulated. Xuetongsu(XTS), an active ingredient in the Tujia ethnomedicine Xuetong, is known to inhibit the proliferation of RAFLS.
