Abstract
Phytochemical and pharmacological study on the rhizomes of Atractylodes lancea led to the identification of twenty-one compounds: six new eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids (1–6), two new eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids (7, 8), and thirteen known compounds (9–21). These new compounds were elucidated using extensive spectroscopic analyses with experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) for the configurational assignments. Notably, this study was the first report on the isolation of two eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids (7, 8) from the genus Atractylodes. Compounds 5, 7, and 16 showed potent hepatoprotective activities against N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP)-induced HepG2 cell injury at a concentration of 10 μM (bicyclol as the positive drug).
