T. asiatica yielded new prenylated coumarins (asiaticasics A-O), showing anti-inflammatory activity, particularly compound 12. Compound 12 may reduce pyroptosis by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome. Morphological observation supported bioactivity evaluation.
Scientists developed a method called ODCE with UHPLC-MS/MS to measure compounds in traditional Chinese medicines. This strategy allows for wider range quantification and is useful for monitoring the effectiveness and safety of TCMs.
Scientists discovered six new compounds, toddasirins A-F, from Toddalia asiatica roots. The compounds were structurally elucidated and assessed for anti-inflammatory activity. Compounds 1-3 and 6 exhibited significant inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells induced by lipopolysaccharide.
