Abstract:
To study the chemical constituents and bioactivity of
Mirabilis jalapa L. Fourteen compounds were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the root of this plant by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and CCK-8 method were used to test the antitumor activity in five cell lines, and the anti-inflammatory activities of compounds were evaluated by LPS induced RAW 264.7 inflammatory cell model. They were identified as sulfuretin (
1), davidigenin (
2), 3,4,2′,4′-tetrahydroxydihydro-chalcone (
3), confusoside (
4), butin (
5), 3,4-dihydro-7,8-dihydroxy-l(2H)-isoquinolinone (
6), iseluxine (
7), methyl syringate (
8), methyl vanillate (
9), 1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (
10), ferulic acid methyl ester (
11), vanillic acid (
12), uridine (
13), betulinic acid (
14) on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral data. Compound
14 have significant activity against to the cell lines HGC27, PANC-1, Hela-60, SY5Y, AGS, with IC
50 values of (37.4±1.5), (10.2±1.6), (44.3±1.6), (8.5±0.5), and (50.3±1.5) μmol/L, respectively. Compound
1 showed significant activity, the IC
50 value of compound 1 was (20.12±1.01)μmol/L.
