Studies on the chemical constituents from the roots of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Platycodon grandiflorum</Emphasis>

Three known monodesmosidic saponins: 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-2,3,16,23,24-pentahydroxyolean-12-ene-28-oic acid, 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl polygalacic acid, and 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-(13)--d-glucopyranosyl polygalacic acid; and two known nonsaponin compounds: a mixed compound of n-tetracosanoic acid (lignoceric acid), n-hexacosanoic acid (cerotic acid), and n-octacosanoic acid, and -monopalmitin; were isolated for the first time from the root of Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC. together with another seven known compounds: platycoside G₁ (3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-(16)--d-glucopyranosyl-(16)--d-glucopyranosyl-2,3,16,23,24-pentahydroxyolean-12-ene-28-oic acid 28-O--d-xylopyranosyl-(14)--l-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--l-arabinopyranoside), deapio-platycodin D, Polygalacin D, deapio-platycodin D₃, platycoside A, -spinasterol, and -spinasteryl-3-O--d-glucopyranoside. Alkaline hydrolysis of platycoside G₁ afforded a new monodesmosidic prosaponin: 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-(16)--d-glucopyranosyl-(16)--d-glucopyranosyl-2,3,16,23,24-pentahydroxyolean-12-ene-28-oic acid. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of their spectral data and chemical evidence.     

Regulatory effects of Codonopsis lanceolata on macrophage-mediated immune responses

Codonopsis lanceolata L. has long been used as a folk medicine in Korea, Japan and China for the treatment of lung inflammatory diseases. In this study, therefore, we aimed to demonstrate its ethnopharmacological activity by examining macrophage-function regulating effects. The total methanol extracts of fresh leaves (l-TME) or roots (r-TME) of Codonopsis lanceolata L. significantly suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide [NO] and tumor necrosis factor [TNF-alpha]) without altering mRNA levels. The expression of interleukin (IL)-3 and IL-6, however, was strongly diminished. According to the analysis of signaling enzyme activation by immunoblotting, phospho-IkappaB levels, a representative pro-inflammatory gene activation pathway, were not affected by the TMEs. By contrast, the Raf-ERK signaling pathway, which was involved in regulation of post-translational modification of pro-inflammatory gene products, was strongly blocked after 6-h of exposure. Moreover, l-TME down-regulated LPS-mediated phagocytic uptake and CD29-mediated cell-cell adhesion, while r-TME strongly up-regulated these two cellular events as well as fibronectin-cell adhesion. The surface levels of the costimulatory molecules (CD80 and CD86) of RAW264.7 cells were also enhanced by these extracts. l-TME also diminished functional activation (assessed by NO production) and the surface level of dectin-1, but not toll-like receptor (TLR)-2. Taken together, these data suggest that Codonopsis lanceolata may have the ability to modulate macrophage-mediated immune responses, thus contributing to its anti-inflammatory activity.     

New alkaloid from the aerial parts of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Codonopsis clematidea</Emphasis>

A new codonopsine-related alkaloid and 13 known compounds were isolated from the aerial parts of Codonopsis clematidea (Campanulaceae). The structure of the new compound was elucidated by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and other spectral examinations.     

Isolation of a new phenylpropanoid fromCodonopsis ussuriensis

A new phenylpropanoid was isolated from the roots ofCodonopsis ussuriensis (Rupr. et Maxim) Hemsley. It was colorless crystals, mp. 140–142°C and was elucidated as 4-(3-ethoxy-1-propenyl)-2,6-dimethoxyphenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside on basis of spectral data analysis.     

Platycosides P and Q,two new triterpene saponins from Platycodon grandiflorum

The EtOH extract of the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum afforded two new triterpene saponins platycoside P (1) and platycoside Q (2). Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic means and hydrolysis products. These compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activity against LPS-induced TNF-α production in RAW 246.7 macrophages. Compounds 1 and 2 showed inhibitory activity with the inhibition ratios (%) of 38.6 and 44.1 at 50 μM, respectively.
