In this study valtrate and isovaltrate, two isomeric valepotriates present in various Valeriana species, were separated on a preparative scale with a Waters preparative Liquid Chromatography/500 A system. A rapid separation was achieved with the solvent methylene chloride-n-propanol-acetone (99 + 0.5 + 0.5). Extensive use of the recycle mode of the instrument resulted in a considerable reduction of the amount of solvent used, without affecting the purity and the recovery (greater than 90%) of the separated components. With the method presented in this communication 1 gram of a mixture of valtrate and isovaltrate was separated in 20 minutes using 2.1 liters of solvent.

Various age-related chronic diseases have been linked to oxidative stress. The cellular antioxidant response pathway is regulated by the transcription factor nuclear erythroid factor 2. Therefore, plant-derived nuclear erythroid factor 2 activators might be useful therapeutics to stimulate the body's defense mechanisms.

Seven undescribed (valejatadoids A-G) and 26 known iridoids were obtained from the roots and rhizomes of Valeriana jatamansi. Their structures were determined based on extensive spectroscopic data, especially 1D and 2D NMR, along with HRESIMS. Valejatadoid B is a monoene-type iridoid with a unique double bond between C-4 and C-5.

Introduction: Valepotriates (epoxy iridoid esters) represent an important group of constituents that contribute to pharmacological effects for the genus Valeriana. Storage and extraction of valepotriates is a demanding task, as these compounds are thermolabile and unstable: even when decomposition products are not formed, isovaleric acid liberation from the iridoid nucleus originate compounds with less complex substituents.
Objective: To study the influence of time and storage conditions on the diene valepotriates (valtrate, isovaltrate, acevaltrate, 1-β-acevaltrate, 1-β-aceacevaltrate) content of the Valeriana glechomifolia (native to southern Brazil), extract was obtained by supercritical fluid extraction using CO₂ as the fluid (SF-CO₂).

Four new diene valepotriates, sorbifolivaltrates A-D ( 1- 4), and the known compounds isovaltrate ( 5), valtrate ( 6), seneciovaltrate ( 7), valtrate hydrine B3 ( 8), and valtrate hydrine B7 ( 9), have been isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation of the cytotoxic hexanes and methyl ethyl ketone crude extracts of the aerial parts of Valeriana sorbifolia occurring in the Sonoran desert. The structures of 1- 4 were determined on the basis of their high-resolution mass spectrometric and NMR spectroscopic data. All compounds exhibited weak to moderate cytotoxicity against the human metastatic prostate cancer cell line, PC-3M.
