Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of Thalictrum baicalense Turcz. roots, traditionally used for inflammatory conditions, led to the isolation of three novel isoflavones, thalibaicalins A-C (1–3), and a new lignan, (7R, 8S, 7′R, 8′S)-9E-feruloylneoolivill (6), alongside six known compounds (4–5, 7–10). Structural characterization was accomplished by HRESIMS, comprehensive NMR analysis, and quantum chemical calculations. Anti-inflammatory evaluation in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages identified potent NO inhibitors, with lignan 6 exhibiting the highest activity (IC50 = 9.56 ± 2.03 μM). This study expands the phytochemical diversity of T. baicalense Turcz. and highlights its potential as a source of anti-inflammatory lead compounds, particularly the highly active lignan derivative.

Fitoterapia is a Journal dedicated to medicinal plants and to bioactive natural products of plant origin. It publishes original contributions in seven major areas:
1. Characterization of active ingredients of medicinal plants
2. Development of standardization method for bioactive plant extracts and natural products
3. Identification of bioactivity in plant extracts
4. Identification of targets and mechanism of activity of plant extracts
5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass
6. Chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive natural products of plant origin
7. Critical reviews of the historical, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.
