Abstract

Sanguisorba officinalis L. (Rosaceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant and its roots have been used as an important astringent medicine in Eastern Asian countries over many thousand years. In this phytochemical research, 23 compounds (1–23) were isolated from the roots of S. officinalis. Their chemical structures were identified by extensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR experiments. The anti-inflammatory effects of extracts and isolated compounds were investigated by measuring the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-12 p40, IL-6 and TNF-α in LPS-stimulated bone marrow-derived dendritic cell. Compounds 1, 3, 7–8, 11–14 revealed promising anti-inflammatory effects. These results suggested that some phenolic compounds and monoterpenoids from S. officinalis could be potential candidates for anti-inflammatory treatments.
