(1) Background: The florets of Carthamus tinctorius L. are traditionally used as a blood-activating drug and can be used for the treatment of atherosclerosis, but no compounds with anti-atherosclerotic activity have been reported. (2) Methods: This study investigated the chemical compounds from the florets of C. tinctorius. Comprehensive spectroscopic techniques revealed their structures, and ECD calculations
(1)背景:红花传统上用作活血药物,可用于治疗动脉粥样硬化,但尚未见具有抗动脉粥样硬化活性的化合物的报道。 (2)方法:本研究调查了C.tinctorius小花的化学成分。综合光谱技术揭示了它们的结构,ECD 计算确定了它们的绝对构型。对这些化合物及其苷元进行尼罗红染色、油红 O 染色和胆固醇评估,以评估其对 RAW264.7 巨噬细胞中氧化低密度脂蛋白 (ox-LDL) 诱导的泡沫细胞形成的抑制活性。此外,通过测量 LPS 引起的 NO 产生抑制来测试 RAW264.7 巨噬细胞的抗炎活性。 (3)结果:从C.tinctorius小花中分离得到5个新的倍半萜类化合物(1-5),经鉴定为(–)-(1R,4S,9S,11R)-caryophyll-8(13)-en-14-ol -5-一 (1), (+)-(1R,4R,9S,11R)-石竹-8(13)-en-14-ol-5-一 (2), (–)-(3Z
