Two new compounds, jiadifenlactone acid monomethyl ester (1) and jiadifenin (3), and five known compounds were isolated from the fruits of I. jiadifengpi. Their structures were determined using spectroscopic techniques, including 1D, 2D NMR and HR‐ESI‐MS experiments. The relative stereochemistry of jiadifenlactone acid monometheyl ester (1) was further confirmed by X‐ray crystallographic data. All isolates were evaluated for their effects on nerve growth factor (NGF)‐mediated neurite outgrowth in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells and two compounds showed promoting effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
