Abstract
A total of 16 sesquiterpenes were isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma wenyujin, including four undescribed sesquiterpenes, namely wenyujinone J - M (1 - 4), and twelve known molecules (5 - 16). The structures of undescribed compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic and spectrometric data analyses. Among them, wenyujinones J (1) and L (3) possessed undescribed sesquiterpenoid skeletons. In addition, all the isolated compounds were evaluated for their protective effect against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced injury in human hepatic L02 cells and for agonistic effect on farnesoid X receptors (FXR) situated with human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells. As a result, compounds 7 and 9 (25 μM) markedly weakened the oxidative damage induced by H2O2 in L02 cells strengthening the cell viability of 72.28% and 74.14%, respectively. Compounds 1, 4 and 16 had a significant agonistic effect at 25 μM, while compounds 5, 7, 9, and 11-14 possessed moderate to weak agonistic effects at same concentration.
