This paper aims to investigate the chemical constituents of the seeds of Herpetospermum pedunculosum. One new coumarin and two known lignans were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the seeds of H. pedunculosum with thin layer chromatography(TLC), silica gel column chromatography, Sephedax LH-20 chromatography, Semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography and recrystallization, etc. Their structures were elucidated as herpetolide H(1), phyllanglaucin B(2), and buddlenol E(3) by analysis of their physicochemical properties and spectral data. Among them, compound 1 was a new compound, and compounds 2 and 3 were isolated from this genus for the first time. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity test showed that herpetolide H had certain NO inhibitory activity for LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells, with its IC_(50) value of(46.57±3.28) μmol·L~(-1).

Two previously undescribed triterpenoids, herpetosin A () and herpetosin B (), together with two known compounds, cucurbitacin B () and dihydrocucurbitacin E (), were isolated from the seeds of Their structures were elucidated by analysis of the NMR, HR-ESI-MS, X-ray data and quantum chemical calculation. Compound featured an unprecedented nor-cucurbitane triterpenoid skeleton with a 5/6/6/5 ring system. Among all the isolates, compound exhibited anti-proliferative effect with IC values of 4.

Article Synopsis
- Herpetospermum pedunculosum is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine known for its lignans, which have antioxidant and liver-protective properties, but the process of lignan biosynthesis in this plant was previously not well understood.
- Through metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, researchers found that the levels of lignan-related metabolites and the expression of associated genes differ significantly between the green mature and yellow mature stages, with most being more active in the yellow mature stage.
- The study proposed a lignan biosynthesis pathway and identified key transcription factors and the enzyme 4-Coumarate: CoA ligase (4CL) involved in lignan production, contributing to better insights into seed lignan biosynthesis for future

Descriptions of floral traits based on the visual capabilities of pollinators would advance our understanding of flower evolution and plant-pollinator relationships. One such trait is the contrasting UV bullseye color pattern, which is invisible to human eyes but can be perceived by bee pollinators. However, it remains largely unknown how UV bullseye size affects male and female reproductive fitness.
