Five new compounds, including a rare phenyldihydronaphthalene lignanamide (1), an unusual hybrid-norlignan derivative (2), a rare cycloheptenone oxide derivative (3), one new acorane-type sesquiterpenoid (4), and one new guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid (5), together with seven known compounds (6-12), have been isolated from the rhizomes of Acorus tatarinowii. The structures of compounds 1-5 were determined by means of extensive spectroscopic methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is first report of a phenyldihydronaphthalene lignanamide and hybrid-norlignan and cycloheptenone oxide derivatives from the genus Acorus. In addition, compound 5 represents the first guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid with an epoxy group located between C-6 and C-9 from natural sources. Compounds 1-12 were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against five tumor cell lines. Among them, 2, 3, 5, and 10 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 2.11-9.23 µM.

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.

The main chemical constituents from Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma were isolated and purified using the macroporous resin,microporous resin(MCI) and octadecylsilyl silica gel(ODS) column chromatography, as well as semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses including mass spectrometry(MS),nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), ultraviolet(UV), infrared(IR) and circular dichoism(CD) combined with literature data.A total of 11 compounds were isolated and identified, including 4 lignan glycosides, 2 benzyl alcohol glycosides, 4 flavonoid glycosides, and 1 α-tetralone glycoside:(7S,8R)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-9'-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-D-glucopyranoside(1),(7S, 8R)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(2),(7S, 8R)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol di-9, 9'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(3),(+)-lyoniresinol 3α-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(4), benzyl alcohol O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside(5), benzyl alcohol O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside(6), 3'-O-methylepicatechin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(7), 3'-O-methylcatechin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(8), apigenin 6-C-β-D-glucopyranosyl-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(9), isoscoparin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(10), and(4R)-8-hydroxy-α-tetralone-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(11).
