Previous phytochemical investigations of Akebiae Caulis resulted in the isolation of triterpenes, triterpene glycosides, phenylethanoid glycosides and megastigmane glycoside. Amyloid beta (Aβ), the main component of the senile plaques detected in Alzheimer's disease, induces cell death. However, only a limited number of studies have addressed the biological and pharmacological effects of Akebiae Caulis. In particular, the inhibitory activity of Akebiae Caulis against Aβ42 fibrillogenesis remains unclear. Herein, a new triterpene glycoside, akequintoside F (1), along with nine known compounds pulsatilla saponin A (2), collinsonidin (3), akebonic acid (4), hederagenin (5), 1-(3',4'-dihydroxycinnamoyl) cyclopentane-2,3-diol (6), asperosaponin C (7), leontoside A (8), quinatic acid (9), and quinatoside A (10) were isolated from Akebiae Caulis using repeated column chromatography with silica gel, LiChroprep RP-18, and MCI gel. The chemical structures of compounds 1-10 were illustrated based on 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, including H-H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY spectroscopic analyses. Compound 1 a novel compound and known compounds 6 and 7 were isolated for the first time from this plant. Among these compounds, 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7 displayed significant inhibitory effects on Aβ42 induced fibrillogenesis. We present the first report of new compound 1 and the inhibitory effects of components from Akebiae Caulis on Aβ42 fibrillogenesis.

Background: The high sensitivity of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) contributes to its excellent performance in animal and microorganism identification, but the utilization of ddPCR is limited in plant adulterant identification of highly processed products for which effective methods are lacking.
Purpose: This study investigated the feasibility of ddPCR in the identification of plant adulterants in Chinese patent medicine (CPM) as groundwork to develop ddPCR assays for other highly processed goods.
Methods: The original plant, processed and highly processed products of Mutong (Akebiae Caulis) and its two adulterants were used to analyze the specificity, sensitivity, and practical performance of the developed singleplex and triplex ddPCR assays.
