Ferroptosis is a new type of cell death, which involves central neuronal system. Inhibition of ferroptosis is a promising strategy to prevent and treat neurological diseases. Thirteen phloroglucinols (1-13) were obtained from the whole plants of Hypericum japonicum. Of them, compounds 1-3 are new ones. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data and X-ray diffraction. All the isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on RSL3-induced ferroptosis. Two new compounds 2-3 showed significant inhibitory effect with EC of 0.48 ± 0.14 μM and 0.94 ± 0.14 μM, respectively. DPPH free radical scavenging abilities of all compounds were assessed to evaluate their antioxidant effect. This work first reports the anti-ferroptosis activity of phloroglucinols.

Pregnane X receptor (PXR) has been considered as a promising therapeutic target for cholestasis due to its crucial regulation in bile acid biosynthesis and metabolism. To search promising natural PXR agonists, the PXR agonistic activities of five traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) with hepatoprotective efficacy were assayed, and Hypericum japonicum as the most active one was selected for subsequent phytochemical investigation, which led to the isolation of eight nonaromatic acylphloroglucinol-terpenoid adducts including seven new compounds (1 - 4, 5a, 5b and 6). Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic, computational and X-ray diffraction analysis.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection causes lethal watery diarrhea and high mortality in neonatal piglets, leading to huge economic losses in the global swine industry. Currently, the existing commercial vaccines cannot fully control PEDV, so it is urgent to develop effective antiviral agents to complement vaccine therapy. In the present study, we investigated the antiviral effect of extract (HJ) against PEDV and .
