[0072] Experimental Example 1 Determination of anti-inflammatory activity

[0073] Dexamethasone (DEM) was used as a positive control drug, and LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells were used as an anti-inflammatory activity evaluation model to screen the anti-inflammatory activity of three monomeric compounds isolated from the flower of the Chinese goldenseal. The anti-inflammatory activity of each monomeric compound was evaluated using the Griess reagent method, and each compound was administered at a concentration of 10 μM. The results showed that all three compounds had the effect of inhibiting the release of NO from RAW264.7 cells induced by LPS. Figure 3 .

[0074] discuss

[0075] In this study, a variety of modern chromatographic separation methods were used to separate the chemical components of the roots of Berberis serrata and study their anti-inflammatory activity. Four propyl-containing monomeric compounds were isolated and identified, of which compound 1 is a new compound and the remaining compounds are first-generation plant fractions. An inflammatory model was constructed by inducing RAW264.7 macrophages with lipopolysaccharide. The NO production inhibitory activity was determined using the Griess reagent method to evaluate the monomeric anti-inflammatory activity. The results showed that at a concentration of 10 μM, the three compounds could inhibit the LPS-induced NO release from RAW264.7 cells and had good anti-inflammatory activity. This experimental study enriched the chemical composition of Berberis genus medicinal materials, provided a certain reference for the study of the anti-inflammatory effect of this plant, and provided a scientific basis for the in-depth development and utilization of this plant.

The method for preparing a phenylpropanoid compound according to claim 1, wherein: The steps include: (1) Take the flower of Goldenrod, extract it with 80-95% methanol, extract it with dichloromethane and n-butanol in sequence, and keep the n-butanol-extracted part for later use; (2) The n-butanol extraction part was passed through a silica gel column and gradient eluted with the mobile phase gradient of dichloromethane:methanol 100:1, 50:1, 40:1, 20:1, 10:1, 2:1, and 0:1, to obtain 14 fractions in sequence; (3) The 11th fraction was taken and subjected to gradient elution through a macroporous adsorption resin column. The gradient was water, 30% methanol, 60% methanol, and 100% methanol, and four fractions were obtained in sequence. (4) The second fraction was separated by polyamide chromatography column with a mobile phase gradient of ethyl acetate:methanol 100:1, 50:1, 30:1, 20:1, 10:1, and 0:1, to obtain 9 fractions in sequence; (5) The first fraction was taken and subjected to isocratic elution by preparative high performance liquid chromatography with a mobile phase of 26% methanol to obtain the phenylpropanoid compound.

3. The preparation method according to claim 2, wherein: In step (1), the methanol concentration is selected from 90%; In step (2), each gradient elution was 10 column volumes; In step (3), the macroporous adsorption resin is selected from SP825; In step (4), each gradient elution was performed for 7 column volumes.

4. Use of the phenylpropanoid compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to claim 1 in the preparation of a medicament having anti-inflammatory activity.

5. The use according to claim 4, characterized in that The medicine is a medicine for treating inflammation caused by Gram-negative bacteria or lipopolysaccharide.
