The stereochemistry of new acetophenones, cynandione B-D (2-4), isolated from Cynanchum taiwanianum, elucidated by computer modelling calculation and NOESY spectrum. It establishes the absolute configurations of cynandiones B-D (2-4) as 7R; 7"S, 7S; 7"S and 7R; 7"R, respectively. Cynandione B (2) strongly inhibited the release of beta-glucuronidase and lysozyme in formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-stimulated rat neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 values of 1.5 +/- 0.2 and 1.6 +/- 0.2 microM, respectively. 2,5-Dihydroxyacetophenone (6) strongly inhibited the aggregation of washed rabbit platelets induced by arachidonic acid in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of about 4.8 microM. In human citrated platelet-rich plasma, 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone (6) inhibited the secondary phase, but not the primary phase, of aggregation induced by adrenaline and ADP. These results suggest that the antiplatelet effect of 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone (6) is due to inhibition of the formation of thromboxane A2.

Five new pregnane glycosides, taiwanosides A [1], B [2], C [3], D [4], and E [5], together with wilfosides C1N [6], C2N [7], M1N [8], and K1N [9], were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum taiwanianum. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence.

The botanical origins of Cynanchum species (Cynanchum spp.) on the Taiwan market have been established by histological studies in the present paper. The results showed that the Chinese crude drug Pai-wei on the Taiwan market was derived from the dried roots of Cynanchum atratum Bunge; that of Pai-chein was derived from the dried roots of C.
