A new caryophyllane derivative, caryophyllenol A, and a new germacrane derivative, isovolvalerenal D, together with 11 known sesquiterpenoids, were isolated from a petroleum ether partition of the roots and rhizomes of Valeriana amurensis. Structure elucidation of caryophyllenol A and isovolvalerenal D was accomplished on the basis of various spectroscopic techniques including HRESIMS and 2D NMR analyses. The structure of caryophyllenol A was further confirmed by X-ray crystallography and using quantum-chemical ECD calculation adopting TDDFT method. Caryophyllenol A and other eight sesquiterpenoids were evaluated for sedative activity with the model of Drosophila melanogaster, and eight of them showed the effect of prolonging the total sleeping time (TST) of D. melanogaster, displaying significant sedative action.

Article Synopsis
- An effective chromatography process was developed to simultaneously purify and separate total lignans and flavonoids from an extract.
- The initial pre-purification used a macroporous resin column where a solution of 40 mg/mL extract was optimized for adsorption and elution with water and different ethanol concentrations.
- Further purification utilized polyamide resin column chromatography, leading to the successful isolation of total lignans and flavonoids, confirmed through HPLC-PDA analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Two new sesquiterpenoids, a kessane-type and a bisabolane derivative, were isolated from the roots and rhizomes of a specific plant, along with fourteen known sesquiterpenoids.
- The structures of the new compounds were determined through detailed spectroscopic analysis.
- Four of the isolated compounds were found to significantly enhance nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells at a concentration of 10 µM, demonstrating differentiation rates between 11.84% and 13.77%.

In this study, the chemical constituentsfrom Valeriana amurensis AD-effective fraction were investigated based on the effect of Valeriana amurensis on Alzheimer's disease (AD) in previous study. Valeriana amurensis was extracted with 75% ethanol and the obtained extract were extracted and subjected to AB-8 macroporous resin column to obtain the AD-effective fraction of Valeriana amurensis. 9 compounds (1-9) were isolated with silica gel, ODS column chromatography and preparative HPLC.
