The rhizome of Acorus tatarinowii is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine. Our extensive investigation on this plant material afforded two new compounds, including a cadinane-type sesquiterpenoid and a pyrazine derivative, along with seven known compounds. The structures of the new compounds, tatarinowin B and tatarinine A, were elucidated as 2-oxocadinan-1(10),3-dien-5-ol (1) and 2-(3',4'-dihydroxy-1'-butylenyl)-5-(2'',3'',4''-trihydroxybutyl)-pyrazine (2), respectively, by means of spectral methods.

This study aims to investigate the effect of essential oil of Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma on microglial pyroptosis and decipher the underlying mechanism. BV-2 cells were treated with 1 μg·mL~(-1) lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and 10 μmol·L~(-1) nigericin sodium salt for the modeling of pyroptosis. The cells were treated with different doses of essential oil of Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, and then the cell viability and apoptosis were examined by the CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively.

Recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA), the primary drug for acute ischemic stroke (IS), has a narrow therapeutic window and carries a potential risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Without rt-PA administration, patients may suffer permanent cerebral ischemia. Alpha-asarone (ASA), a natural compound derived from Acorus tatarinowii Schott, exhibits diverse neuropharmacological effects.
