Polyphenols with anti-inflammatory activity isolated from the whole herbs of Delphinium forrestii var. Viride.

Delphinium belongs to Ranunculaceae, which is widely distributed in Northwest China. In folk, this genus of plants has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and insecticidal effects. By studying non-alkaloid components in the whole herbs of Delphinium forrestii, we obtained a total of 11 compounds (1-11), including five new (1-5) and six known polyphenols (6-11). On the basis of chemical evidences and spectral data analysis (UV, Optical rotation data, 1D/2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS), the structures of new compounds were elucidated. The inhibitory effect of compounds 1-11 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells was detected. Compounds 4 and 11 showed significant inhibitory effects. This study indicated the presence of compounds with good anti-inflammatory activity among non-alkaloid components in the whole herbs of Delphinium forrestii.
