Sour jujube is a common fruit and traditional medicine in China. Bioactivity-guided fractionation of sour jujube was used to determine the chemical identity of potent antiproliferative and antioxidant constituents. Four novel ursane-type triterpenoids, together with 8 known were isolated and identified. The new triterpenoids were elucidated to be 2α,3β,13β,23-tetrahydroxy-urs-11-en-28-oic acid (3), 2α,3β-dihydroxy-urs-20(30)-en-28-oic acid (9), 2α,3β,28-trihydroxy-urs-20(30)-ene (10), and 3β,12β,13β-trihydroxy-ursan-28-oic acid (11). Among the triterpenoids isolated, 2α,3β,19α-trihydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid (7), 9 and 10 showed high potent inhibitory activity toward the proliferation of HepG2 cells, which the IC50 values were lower than 5 μM. Compounds 9 and 10 also exhibited pronounced activity against MCF-7 cells, with IC50 value of 0.8 ± 0.03 and 1.5 ± 0.1 μM, respectively. Compound 10 showed high antioxidant activity with an EC50 of 0.8 ± 0.02 μM, which was 18.9 times higher than ascorbic acid in antioxidant capacity.

Article Synopsis
- * A comparison of sour jujube 'Qingjiansuanzao' and cultivated jujube 'Junzao' revealed that sour jujube has higher PA levels that decrease as the fruit develops.
- * Research identified specific genes, ZjLAR and ZjANR, that promote PA production; overexpressing these genes in both jujube and other plants increased PA content, providing insights for improving jujube fruit quality.

A new dammarane-type triterpenoid saponin, suanzaoside A () along with one known analogue 3--[-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)--L-arabinopyranosyl-]-30--[-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,25,30-trihydroxy-16-one-20,24-epoxydammarane (), were isolated from the leaves of sour jujube. The structure of these isolated compounds was elucidated by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and literature comparison. In addition, the anti-inflammatory activities were further tested in LPS-induced RAW264.

Semen Ziziphi Spinosae (SZS) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine widely used to treat insomnia and anxiety in clinical practice. Currently, the demand for SZS is increasing every year, but the production of wild SZS is unstable due to environmental factors. Grafting sour jujube scions onto sour jujube or jujube tree stocks can achieve a high production rate within a short period of time.

Camel milk is a nutrient-rich diet and fermentation affects its nutritional value and probiotic function. In this study, sour camel milk and oat jujube sour camel milk were prepared using fermentation bacteria agent TR1, and the metabolites of camel milk, sour camel milk and oat jujube sour camel milk were detected using a non-targeted metabolomics approach using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).The results showed that the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) with 100 % accuracy and good predictive power detected 343 components in positive ion mode and 220 components in negative ion mode.

Chinese sour jujube is an important fruit for both medicine and food and effects various biological activities. Although the Chinese sour jujube seed (Ziziphi spinosae semen) is rich in oil, its lipid profiles is significantly affected by the extraction process. However, no studies to date have comprehensively analysed the lipid composition and bioactivity of Ziziphi spinosae semen oil processed using different methods.
