To make full use of this resource, its roots were studied.

The results of quantitative analysis showed that the highest lignin content in <em>F. mandshurica</em> roots was compound <strong>9</strong> with 102.02 mg/g, while the overall lignin content in Shanxi was low. The results of methodological validation showed that the RSD values of intra-day precision ranged from 0.35% to 1.38%, while the RSD values of inter-day precision were within 1.97%; the RSD values of reproducibility experiments ranged from 0.35% to 1.96%, while the RSD values of stability experiments were less than 2.97%; the spiked recovey of samples were within 102.84%, and the RSD values ranged from 0.39% to 1.77%, which fully confirmed the high precision and good reproducibility of the analytical method. In addition, fingerprinting and heatmap were established for 40 batches of samples from 8 origins. Next, multivariate analysis, including principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), was performed to investigate the differences in lignin content in the roots of <em>F. mandshurica</em> from different origins, and four lignins that could be used to distinguish <em>F. mandshurica</em> from different origins were screened. Finally, 12 lignans were evaluated for enzyme activity inhibition with α-glucosidase, tyrosinase and acetylcholinesterase, and the results showed that all 12 lignans exhibited enzyme activity inhibition to different degrees, which have potential applications in anti-diabetic, whitening and light spot and anti-Alzheimer's disease, and become a new source of natural enzyme activity inhibitors.
