[0002] Single garlic orchid ( Pleione bulbocodioides *Franch.* Rolfe is a Class II protected plant in China, belonging to the Orchidaceae family and the *Franch.* genus, and is endemic to China. It is a semi-epiperi herb, growing in humus-rich soil under evergreen broad-leaved forests or at the edges of shrub forests, or on moss-covered rocks, at altitudes of 900-3600 meters. It is found in southern Shaanxi, southern Gansu, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, northern Guangdong, northern Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, northwestern Yunnan, and southeastern Tibet in China. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that *Franch.* Rolfe possesses antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective activities.

[0075] Example 6: Test of the anti-neuroinflammatory activity of compounds 1-10 prepared in Examples 1-5.
[0076] (1) Experimental Principle: Neurodegenerative diseases are a class of diseases characterized by the chronic and progressive loss of neurons, exhibiting high incidence, high disability rate, high mortality rate, and high recurrence rate. In animal models of neurodegenerative diseases and the brains of human patients, a gradually increasing number of activated microglia can be observed. Under normal physiological conditions, microglia are in a neurotrophic state and secrete anti-inflammatory factors, which can protect neurons from external damage. However, under pathological conditions, such as stimulation by exogenous pathogens or endogenous cell debris and abnormally folded proteins, microglia are activated. Activation of microglia releases a variety of pro-inflammatory factors, and the large release of these pro-inflammatory factors further activates microglia, forming a vicious cycle that ultimately leads to neuronal damage and induces neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, inhibiting pathological neuroinflammation caused by microglia activation is of great significance for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. This invention constructs an in vitro screening model for abnormal activation of BV2 microglia by LPS activation, using the release of NO from activated microglia as an indicator to evaluate the anti-neuroinflammatory activity of new phenylpropanoid compounds 1-10.

Culture of mouse microglia BV-2 All glassware and metal instruments (culture dishes, pipettes, solution dishes, etc.) used in cell culture and model establishment were autoclaved at 121 °C for 30 min to thoroughly remove LPS contamination. A cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum was prepared using DMEM as a base. Microglia were cultured at approximately 2.5 × 10⁶ cells / day. 5 cells·mL -1The concentration of the active ingredient was used for subculturing in 5% CO2 at 37°C. By the third day, adherent cells occupied approximately 70-80% of the bottom area of the culture dish. The adherent cells were then digested with trypsin and subcultured into another culture dish. BV-2 cells that had been cryopreserved and thawed at -80°C were used as the first generation, and BV-2 cells from the 3rd to 8th generations were selected for experiments.
[0078] 2. Drug preparation method The monomeric compounds from the pseudobulbs of *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* were dissolved in DMSO to prepare a 100 mM stock solution, which was stored at -20°C. Before use, the solution was diluted with DMEM culture medium to 100 μM, 30 μM, 10 μM, and 1 μM, respectively. The final DMSO concentration was <1‰.

After 24 h of adherent culture, the medium was replaced with serum-free fresh medium, and the cells were treated with the drugs simultaneously. Ten monomeric compounds were administered at doses of 100 μM, 30 μM, 10 μM, and 1 μM in combination with LPS. A blank control was also included. The final concentration of LPS in each treatment group was 100 ng / mL. After culturing for another 24 h following drug administration, the supernatant was collected, and the NO content in the supernatant was determined using the Griess colorimetric method. 2- content.
[0080] 4. Effect of MTT assay on microglial cell viability BV-2 microglia cultured in the logarithmic growth phase were used to adjust the cell density to 2.0 × 10⁶ cells / year using fresh DMDM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. 4Cells were seeded at 100 μL / well in 96-well plates and cultured at 37 ℃ in a 5% CO2 incubator.

In each treatment group, the final LPS concentration was 100 ng / mL. After cell addition, the cells were cultured for another 24 h, and then MTT solution (10 μL / well) was added to the cell culture medium. The cells were then co-incubated with 0.25 mg / mL MTT at 37 ℃ for 3 h. The culture medium was then removed, and 150 μL of DMSO solution was added. The optical density (OD) value was measured. Data processing was performed using the corresponding software of the microplate reader. The average OD value of three wells for each sample was calculated, and the cell viability (CV%) was calculated using the average value according to the following formula.
[0081] Cell viability % = [mean OD value of sample group / mean OD value of blank control group] × 100% 5. Statistical Methods All data were analyzed using SPSS (27.0) statistical software. Results are expressed as mean ± standard error. To assess overall differences, one-way ANOVA was used to analyze homogeneity of variance between groups, combined with Dunnett's test for inter-group comparisons. Levene's test was used to test homogeneity of variance in multiple samples. p >0.05, the variances are homogeneous, and Dunnett's two-tailed t-test is used to assess the difference in means among multiple groups. p <0.05 indicates unequal variances; therefore, the Dunnett T3 test is used to assess the difference in means among multiple groups.
