In this study, Huperzia serrata polysaccharide (HSP) fraction was isolated using response surface methodology (RSM) and Box-Behnken design (BBD). The extraction time, temperature and ratio of water to raw material were employed effects. And properties of four polysaccharide (60%-HSP, 70%-HSP, 80%-HSP and 90%-HSP) were evaluated. The results indicated that the optimal extraction conditions were the following: 3.07 h, 49.46 °C and a liquid material ratio of 20.73:1. The four HSP presented irregular aggregation of shape. And all HSP exhibited antioxidant and anticancer activities.

In this paper, we present a novel class of hybrid polyketides, tenuazamines A-H (-), which exhibit a unique tautomeric equilibrium from FL7. The elucidation of the structures was achieved through a diverse combination of NMR, HR-ESIMS, and ECD methods, with a focus on extensive spectroscopic data analysis. Notably, compounds , , - exhibited potent toxic effects on the growth of .

Huperzine A (Hup A), an extract from Huperzia serrata, exerted its anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation effect to protect against neurodegenerative disorders and organ injury. Ferroptosis was indicated to involve in the development of acute lung injury (ALI) accompanying by lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) overexpressed. However, there is little research focused on the protective effect of Hup A on ALI, and the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive.

During the search for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory compounds from the natural resources, two new serratane triterpenes, 3-O-dihydro-p-coumaroyltohogenol (1) and 21-O-acetyltohogenol (2), along with four known serratane triterpenes (3-6), were isolated from the whole plant of Huperzia serrata. The chemical structures of compounds 1 and 2 were determined by NMR study, HRMS analysis, and chemical modification. All isolates were evaluated for their PTP1B inhibitory activities.
