A new ceramide urticamide (1), two new secolignans urticalactones I (2) and Ⅱ (3), and a new flavonoid glycoside urticaside (4), together with 15 known compounds (4-19), were isolated from the leaves of Urtica fissa, a folk medicine for rheumatism arthritis in China. The active evaluation results showed that 1, 2, 3, 8, and 13 possessed the potent anti-inflammatory. They could inhibit the release of NO and TNF-α in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, with IC values less than 4.0 μM.

E. Pritz is not only an important medicinal plant for rheumatism and cough relief, but it is also an important forage plant. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of was assembled for the first time and reported to be 146,837 base pairs (bp) long with a typical tetragonal structure and including a large single-copy of 79,657 bp, a small single-copy of 17,712 bp, and two inverted repeats of 24,734 bp each.
