Objective: To study the chemical constituents of Xanthium mongolicum.
Method: The compounds were isolated with column chromatography. The structures were determined by spectroscopic techniques.
Result: Eight compounds were isolated from X. mongolicum, four compounds are sesquiterpene lactones, two compounds are triterpenes and two compounds are lignins. Their structure elucidated as xanthatin (1), xanthinosin (2), 11alpha, 13-dihydroxanthatin (3), atractylenolide III (4), oleanolic acid (5), ursolic acid (6), lignocellulose (7), balanophonin (8).
Conclusion: Compounds 3-8 were isolated from this plant for the first time. Sesquiterpene lactones (1-3) had shown the induction hindrance activeness of the (ICAM-1), but the activitiy of 3 was weaker.

The traditional Chinese medicine Xanthium sibiricum Patrin ex Widder is used to treat wind-cold headache, nasal congestion, nasal discharge, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, urticaria, and arthritis. Our previous studies found that sesquiterpene lactones, the main bioactive constituents of X. sibiricum, relieved airway inflammation in an asthma mouse model.

The present study was intended to evaluate the pharmacognostic attributes including macroscopy, microscopy, physico-chemical and phytochemical screening of the aerial part of Xanthium spinosum, belonging to family Asteraceae. Morphologically, the leaf was covered with sparsely scattered non-glandular, multicellular hair on adaxial surface, while abaxial surface was reported with dense silvery furs. Leaf showed lamphystomatic nature bearing anomocytic stomata.

Background: Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily has key role in cell proliferation which leads to tumor promoting activities at metastatic stage of cancer. Inhibition of transforming growth factor beta receptor (TGFβR) signaling pathway can provide better therapeutic strategy to control cancer. Natural products are best known for their safety, less toxic nature, antioxidant characteristics making them a promising candidate to inhibit TGFβR signaling pathway.
