Previously undescribed triterpenoid saponins (1-8), along with eight previously reported analogues (9-16), were isolated from an EtOAc extract obtained from the roots of Rubus setchuenensis. Structures were established based on HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, as well as by literature comparisons. All compounds were isolated for the first time from the genus Rubus. Compounds 3-4, 6-8, and 12-15 displayed inhibitory activities against NO production in a RAW264.7 cell inflammation model induced by LPS. Moreover, 4, 6-8, and 12-13 exhibited inhibitory effects in a LPS-induced BV-2 cell neuroinflammation model.

Rationale: Panax quinquefolius L. (PQ), a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine and a food, is usually processed into various products, including white PQ, red PQ (two- or three-time steamed PQ), and black PQ (nine-time steamed PQ). Previous studies demonstrated that volatile components (VOCs) were the important active substances of PQ, which had antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-leukemia activities.
