Fourteen new sesquiterpenoids, alashanoids A-H (1, 2, and 4-9), (+)-2,9-humuladien-6-ol-8-one (3b), and five pairs of enantiomers (1 and 4-7), along with eight known analogues (3a and 10-16) were isolated from the stems of Syringa pinnatifolia. The structures were established using IR, UV, MS, and NMR data. The absolute configurations of the new compounds were resolved by X-ray diffraction, a modification of Mosher's method, and experimental and calculated ECD data analysis. The new sesquiterpenoids represent three skeletons: a rare 2,2,5,9-tetramethylbicyclo[6.3.0]-undecane (1), a humulane-type (2-8), and a caryophyllene-type (9) skeleton. Compounds 6a, 7, and 11 showed protective effects against hypoxia-induced injury to H9c2 cells at a concentration of 40 μM, and 5-7, 11, and 13 inhibited NO production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophage cells with IC values ranging from 13.6 to 70.6 μM. These compounds decreased the TNF-α and IL-6 levels in RAW264.7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner at 20-80 μM.

As a part of systematic research, an ongoing phytochemical investigation of the sesquiterpenoid-containing fraction led to the isolation of five new sesquiterpenoids from the peeled stems of Syringa pinnatifolia, including two pairs of enantiomeric humulane-type (±)-alashanoids A and B (1 and 2) and one eremophilane-type alashanoid C (3). These structures were elucidated by the analysis of extensive spectroscopic data, including ESI-MS and 1D and 2D NMR, and the absolute configuration was determined by comparing its experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism and calculated NMR. These isolates exhibited moderate in vitro cardioprotective effects against oxidative injuries in H9c2 cells.

Phytochemical analysis of the peeled stems of Syringa pinnatifolia Hemsl. led to the discovery of 13 undescribed lignans, namely helanols A and B (1 and 2) and alashanenols W-G (3-13), as well as four known analogues, of which helanols A and B were lignans with novel skeleton of α-β' linkage. The structures were unambiguously established by extensive spectroscopic analyses, NMR calculations, ECD calculations, and single crystal X-ray crystallography.

Four new norlignans, noralashinols D-F (1a/b-3), and two known analogues (4 and 5) were isolated from the peeled stems of Syringa pinnatifolia Hemsl. The structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data, such as IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR, and ECD. All compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activities against NO production induced by LPS in BV microglia cells.

A continued phytochemical investigation guided by H NMR and LC-MS data on the ethanol extract from the peeled stems of Syringa pinnatifolia Hemsl. led to the isolation of 16 undescribed dimeric eremophilane sesquiterpenoids, namely syringenes R-Z (1-9) and A-G (10-16). These structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data, including HRESIMS, NMR, quantum-mechanics-based computational analysis of NMR chemical shifts, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and a concise rule for determination of relative configuration of angular methyl was proposed.
