In this study, six compounds were isolated from the flowers of Hosta plantaginea, and compounds 1-4 showed significant inhibition on NO production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Additionally, compounds 1 and 3 were found to reduce the levels of inflammatory factors and phosphorylation of NF-kB p65, suggesting their potential as anti-inflammatory candidates.
Hosta plantaginea (Lam.) Aschers flower is traditionally used in China as an important herbal medicine for the treatment of inflammatory disease. The present study isolated one new compound, namely (3R)-dihydrobonducellin (1), and five known ones, p-hydroxycinnamic acid (2), paprazine (3), thymidine (4), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (5), and dibutyl phthalate (6) from H. plantaginea flowers. These structures were elucidated from spectroscopic data. Among them, compounds 1-4 remarkably suppressed nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 19.88 +/- 1.81, 39.80 +/- 0.85, 19.03 +/- 2.35, and 34.63 +/- 2.38 mM, respectively. Furthermore, compounds 1 and 3 (20 mM) significantly decreased levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin 113 (IL-113), and IL-6. Additionally, compounds 1 and 3 (20 mM) prominently reduced the phosphorylation protein level of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-B-k) p65. The present findings indicated that compounds 1 and 3 may be new candidates against inflammation via blocking the NF-kB signaling pathway.
