Article Abstract
Four eudesmane glucosides, alatosides A-D (1-4), and one megastigmane glucoside, alatoside E (5), were isolated from the BuOH fraction of Laggera alata along with six known compounds. Structures of the new compounds were elucidated by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic methods. Alatosides A-E were characterized as: 1alpha-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxyl)-7-epi-eudesma-11-en-2beta,4alpha-diol (1), 2beta-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxyl)-eudesma-4alpha-hydroxyl-11(13)-en-12-oic-acid (2), 5beta-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxyl)-eudesma-4(15),11(13)-dien-12-oic-acid (3), 5alpha-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxyl)-eudesma-3,11(13)-dien-12-oic acid (4) and 3beta-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxyl)-megastigma-9-one (5), respectively. Based on the chemical characteristics of eudesmane derivatives isolated from the Laggera genus, it was suggested that there are probably two different biogenetic pathways for these secondary metabolites in this genus.

Article Synopsis
- 5α-Hydroxycostic acid, derived from the plant Laggera alata, shows potential as a treatment for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) by inhibiting the formation and leakage of these abnormal blood vessels.* -
- The study utilized both in vitro and in vivo models to analyze the effects of 5α-Hydroxycostic acid on cell proliferation, migration, and tubule formation, highlighting its ability to improve cell adhesion by targeting specific signaling pathways.* -
- Results indicate that this compound effectively reduces vascular leakage and suggests that its mechanisms of action involve interference with the VEGF/VEGFR and Ang2/Tie2 pathways, making it a promising candidate for CNV therapy

Liver fibrosis is a common symptom of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and a worldwide clinical issue. The miR-122/HIF-1α signalling pathway is believed to play an important role in the genesis of progressive fibrosis. Isochlorogenic acid B (ICAB), naturally isolated from Laggera alata, is verified to have antioxidative and hepatoprotective properties.
