valepotriate/neoplasms

Natural compound valepotriate exhibits inhibitory activity against a number of cancers, but the effect of valepotriate against pancreatic cancer is unclear, and the structure-activity relationship of valepotriate has not been characterized. In this study, we performed a structure-based similarity

Ten new valepotriates, jatamanvaltrates P-Y (1-10) and a known one, nardostachin (11), have been isolated from the whole plants of Valeriana jatamansi. The structures of the new compounds were determined by detailed spectroscopic data analysis. The isolated compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic

Four new diene valepotriates, sorbifolivaltrates A-D ( 1- 4), and the known compounds isovaltrate ( 5), valtrate ( 6), seneciovaltrate ( 7), valtrate hydrine B3 ( 8), and valtrate hydrine B7 ( 9), have been isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation of the cytotoxic hexanes and methyl ethyl ketone

HPLC-PDA-MS and TLC analysis were used to look for minor cytotoxic chlorinated valepotriates from whole plants of Valeriana jatamansi (syn. Valeriana wallichii DC.). This resulted in isolation of 15 chlorinated valepotriates, designated as chlorovaltrates A-O, together with six known analogues,

Three new minor valepotriate isomers, jatamanvaltrates Z1 (1), Z2 (2), and Z3 (3), have been isolated from the whole plants of Valeriana jatamansi (syn. Valeriana wallichii.). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, especially 2D NMR and ESI-MS/MSn. All isolated

Three new decomposition products of valepotriates, valtrals A-C (1-3), and two known products, baldrinal and homobaldrinal, are formed during the isolation procedure of the ethanol extract of the whole plants of Valeriana jatamansi. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods including

Oxidative stress has been associated with diverse diseases, including obesity, cancer and neurodegeneration. In fact, Valeriana jatamansi Jones (valerian) and its extracts possess strong antioxidant activities that extend their application in clinical practice to the treatment of these illnesses,

Thirteen new acylated iridoids, jatamanvaltrates A-M (1-13), together with nine known valepotriates (14-22), were isolated from the whole plants of Valeriana jatamansi (syn. Valeriana wallichii). The structures of these new compounds were assigned by detailed interpretation of spectroscopic data.

Underground parts of three Valeriana species, namely V. officinalis L. s.l., V. wallichii DC. (V. jatamansi Jones), and V. edulis Nutt. ex Torr & Gray ssp. procera (H.B.K.) F. G. Meyer (V. mexicana DC.), are used in phytotherapy because of their mild sedative properties. Characteristic constituents
