Rubia tibetica Hook. f is a traditional Tibetan medicinal plant, with its roots serving as the primary medicinal part. Two new compounds, Rubiaxylm C and E (1 and 3), and one new natural compound, Rubiaxylm D (2) were isolated from R. tibetica, along with five known compounds (4-8). The structures of the previously undescribed compounds were elucidated by HR-ESIMS, 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic data and electronic circular dichroism calculations. Compound 1 is a rare anthrone substituted with a carbonyl group at position 1. Furthermore, all isolated compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against HepG2 cell lines.

Two unprecedented quinone compounds Rubiaxylm A (1) and Rubiaxylm B (2), along with fifteen known anthraquinones (3-17) were isolated and characterized from the roots of Rubia tibetica in Tibetan medicine. Their structures were identified through comprehensive analyses of 1D/2D NMR as well as HR-ESIMS data. Furthermore, all separated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity on A549, Caco-2, MDA-MB-231 and Skov-3 cell lines.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The roots of Rubia tibetica are chewed as an antidote to anaphylaxis caused by bites of the tick Ornithodoros lahorensis by the Wakhi people in Afghanistan.
Aims Of The Study: To test whether Rubia tibetica possess anti-histamine effect.
Materials And Methods: Water and ethanol extracts of roots of Rubia tibetica were tested for anti-histamine effect on the H1-receptor in the guinea pig ileum assay.
