A phytochemical investigation of the 95% ethanol extract from Gerbera piloselloides obtained fourteen compounds, including three undescribed phenone-monoterpenes (1a/1b and 2), seven undescribed chromone-monoterpenes (3a/3b-5a/5b and 6), and one undescribed coumarin-monoterpene (8). Among them, four pairs of enantiomers (1a/1b and 3a/3b-5a/5b) were successfully isolated by the chiral-phase HPLC resolution. The structures and absolute configurations were unambiguously determined based on comprehensive spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Structurally, compound 1 is the first 5-methylphenone monoterpene formed through a circular 6-membered carbocycle. And their anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative activities were evaluated via LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and five human cancer lines (HepG2, MDA-MB-231, SCG-7901, A549 and MCF-7), respectively. Compounds 4b, 5a and 5b showed moderate inhibitory effect against nitric oxide (NO) production with IC values ranging from 12.52 to 15.75 μM. Compound 8 significantly inhibited the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 human cancer line in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the connection between phenone-monoterpenes, chromone-monoterpenes, and coumarin-monoterpenes in biosynthesis were also discussed.

Article Synopsis
- Gerberae Piloselloidis Herba (GPH) has been shown to effectively treat allergic asthma, with specific components—luteolin, arbutin, and marmesin—demonstrating significant therapeutic potential, though their exact mechanism remains unclear.
- In a study using an allergic asthma mouse model, treatment with the active component mixture and GPH resulted in decreased asthma symptoms, reduced inflammatory cell counts, and lower cytokine levels, alongside improvements in lung tissue health.
- The mixture exhibited effects similar to dexamethasone and suppressed the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, indicating its potential in modulating apoptotic processes in lung tissue, thereby alleviating allergic asthma symptoms.
