Aim: To study the chemical constituents of the roots of Ilex asprella Champ. ex Benth.

Methods: Compounds were isolated by silica gel, ODS, and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis.

Results: Four triterpenoid glycosides were isolated and identified as (3β)-19-hydroxy-28-oxours-12-en-3-yl β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid n-butyl ester (1), ilexasoside A (2), monepaloside F (3), and ilexoside A (4).

Conclusion: Compound 1 is a new triterpenoid glycoside, and compounds 3 and 4 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

The tendon-bone interface, known as the tenosynovial union or attachment, can be easily damaged by excessive exercise or trauma. Tendon-bone healing is a significant research topic in orthopedics, encompassing various aspects of sports injuries and postoperative recovery. Surgery is the most common treatment; however, it has limited efficacy in promoting tendon-bone healing and carries a risk of postoperative recurrence, necessitating the search for more effective treatments.

  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer deaths, and oxaliplatin (OXA) is a primary treatment that faces challenges due to the tumor microenvironment (TME).
  • A new multifunctional nanosystem, Rg3-Lip-OXA/CaO, uses Ginsenoside Rg3 liposomes to target CRC cells, delivering OXA and calcium peroxide (CaO) together.
  • Research showed that this nanosystem had good stability and release properties, effectively targeted cancer cells, and significantly suppressed tumor growth in mice, while also showing manageable acute toxicity.
