Technical Field
[0001] The present invention specifically relates to a sesquiterpene acetyl glycoside compound having an inhibitory effect on cancer cells. Background Art
[0002] Atractylodes japonica Koidz.ex Kitam. Atractylodes japonica is a perennial herb of the genus Atractylodes in the Compositae family. Its medicinal part is the rhizome, which is pungent, bitter, and warm in nature and non-toxic. It is mainly produced in the three northeastern provinces of China. Since 2005, the medicinal material of Atractylodes japonica has been a key protected object of the medicinal material varieties in Jilin Province (the authentic producing area).历代医学著作对其药用价值的评价都很高,其药用部位根茎具有健脾燥湿、发汗解表明目、祛风等功效,主要用于治疗食欲不振,消化不良;内外翳障,夜盲症等病症。关苍术与苍术的主要化学成分及功效相似,且关苍术在东北拥有丰富的野生资源,为了资源利用更加合理,将其开发成苍术替代品,充分开发其药用价值。The medicinal value of Atractylodes japonica has been highly evaluated in previous medical works. Its rhizome, the medicinal part, has the effects of strengthening the spleen and drying dampness, inducing sweating and relieving exterior syndrome, improving eyesight, dispelling wind, etc. It is mainly used to treat loss of appetite, indigestion, internal and external nebula, night blindness and other diseases. The main chemical components and effects of Atractylodes japonica are similar to those of Atractylodes lancea. Moreover, Atractylodes japonica has rich wild resources in Northeast China. For more reasonable utilization of resources, it is developed as a substitute for Atractylodes lancea to fully develop its medicinal value.
[0003] Sesquiterpene compounds are one of the main chemical component types of Atractylodes japonica. Classified from the structural parent nucleus, they mainly include 4 types: eudesmane type, guaiane type, costunolide type and eremophilane type. Most of them have a wide range of biological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, neuroprotective, liver-protecting and other activities, and have good development prospects and values.

After inoculation, the human cancer cells were placed in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% L-glutamine and fetal bovine serum (also containing 100 μg / mL penicillin and 100 μg / mL streptomycin), and then cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 h before drug administration. Different drug concentrations were tested: 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 μmol / L. Blank wells and control wells were also included (blank wells were uninoculated, and control wells contained drug-free medium). Cisplatin served as a positive control. Each group had three replicates. After incubation for another 48 h, 20 μL of 5 mg / mL MTT was added to each well. After another 4 h of culture, the cells were centrifuged, and the supernatant in the 96-well plate was discarded. Then, 150 μL of DMSO was added to each well, and the plate was shaken at low temperature for 10 min. The cells were then analyzed using an ELISA reader at a wavelength of 570 nm. The absorbance of each well was measured at a wavelength of nm, and the inhibition rate of the test drug on cancer cell growth was calculated. Cell survival inhibition rate % = [1 - (Experimental group A - Blank group A) / (Control group A - Blank group A)] × 100%. The IC50 of the drug was calculated using the Logit method. 50 Values. The results are shown in Table 2 below:
