Three new phenolic compounds (1-3), along with five known compounds (4-8) were isolated from the rhizome of Cimicifuga dahurica (Turcz.) Maxim. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 1D-NMR, 2D-NMR and HR-MS techniques. DPPH method and protective effect on PC12 cells against HO-induced oxidative damage model were carried to evaluate the antioxidant capability of these compounds. Compound 5 showed significant antioxidant activity with IC values 9.33μM in DPPH assay and compound 2 displayed marked neuro-protective effect with 87.65% cell viability at the concentration of 10μM. Additionally, the possible structure-activity relationships of these phenolic compounds were tentatively discussed.

American Herbal Pharmacopoeia, 3051 Brown's Lane, Soquel, CA 95073, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how different species and sources of Botanical Reference Materials (BRMs), focusing on Actaea roots, show variability in their chemical composition due to factors like harvest location and year, using advanced chemometric methods.
  • Through techniques such as flow injection mass spectrometry and PCA, significant differences in composition were identified among various Actaea species and commercial supplements, affected by factors like technical repeats and data processing methods.
  • The results highlight that environmental and genetic factors, alongside chemometric methodologies, play a crucial role in distinguishing between botanical species, impacting the reliability of reference materials.
