Two new chromones named cnidimol G () and cnidimol H (), one new coumarin, 7-methoxy-8-(3-methoxy-3-methyl-2-oxobutyl)coumarin (), and twenty known compounds were isolated from MeOH extract of the fruit of (L.) Cusson. The structures of compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses including 1 D and 2 D NMR, HRESIMS, IR and UV. Anti-inflammatory activity of the selected isolated compounds were evaluated. Compounds and exhibited inhibitory activities against nitric oxide production.

Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis (OP) is a common chronic bone disease with few effective treatments, and Cnidii Fructus (CF), derived from Cnidium monnieri, shows promise as a management option based on preliminary studies.
- The research involved a detailed review of studies on CF's phytochemical components, pharmacokinetics, safety, and effects on bone remodeling through various databases.
- CF contains active compounds like osthole and bergapten, which improve bone health by targeting multiple biological signaling pathways, suggesting potential for new OP drug development.
