Two new xanthones, 1,8-dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone 7-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1 → 2)-β-D-glucopyranoside] (1) and 1,8- dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone 7-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1 → 3)-α-L-rhamno-pyranosyl (1 → 2)-β-D-xylopyranoside] (2), together with 26 known xanthones (3-28), were isolated from the aqueous ethanol extract of the traditional Chinese herb Swertia mussotii. Their structures were elucidated via spectroscopic analyses including 2D NMR. The inhibition of α-glucosidase by the isolated xanthones was evaluated by an in vitro high-throughput screening assay. Our results indicated that 1,3,5,8-tetrahydroxyxanthone is the best inhibitor with an IC50 value of 5.33 ± 0.09 µM, while the O-glycosylated xanthones were poor α-glycosidase inhibitors.

Separation of polar compounds especially with similar polarities is challenging. In the present study, three polar compounds with similar polarities, including gentiopicroside, sweroside and mangiferin, have been successfully separated from Swertia mussotii by a combination of two counter-current chromatography modes. With the selected solvent system of ethyl acetate/n-butanol/water (8/2/10, v/v), a continuous injection mode was firstly employed.

Cholestasis refers to a physiological and pathological process caused by bile acid (BA) overaccumulation inside the circulatory system and liver, leading to systemic and hepatocellular damage. Activating the farnesol X receptor (FXR) to restore BA homeostasis is a promising strategy for treating cholestasis. The objective of this research is to reveal solid evidence for the fact that the total iridoid glycosides from Franch.

Article Synopsis
- Swertia Mussotii is traditionally used to treat conditions like fever and pain, but the exact mechanism of how it works is not fully understood.
- This study focuses on a specific active fraction, iridoid and xanthone glycoside (IXG), examining its effects on animal models of calculous cholecystitis and identifying key compounds within IXG.
- Results showed that IXG significantly reduced certain biomarkers (like bilirubin and COX2 levels), alleviated symptoms of calculous cholecystitis, and worked by targeting COX2 to suppress pain and inflammation.
