OBJECTIVE To investigate the terpenoid constituents from the fresh-used leaves of Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant. and their anti-inflammatory activities. METHODS Modern phytochemical separation techniques such as high performance preparative liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to isolate the 95% ethanol extract of the fresh leaves from A. argyi and to identify the structure by combining physicochemical properties with MS and NMR data. The anti-inflammatory activity of terpenoids was evaluated by the inhibitory ability of nitric oxide (NO) release from LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages. RESULTS Fifteen terpenoids were isolated from the fresh leaves of A. argyi and identified as artanomaloide (1), dehydroleucodin (2), tamaulipin-B acetate (3), moxartenolide (4), yomogin (5), costic acid (6), costic acid methyl ester(7), PBI(8), (-)-3-hydroxy-β-ionone(9), pubinernoid A(10), subamone(11), artefrigin(12), cassipourol(13), 3β-acetoxy-24-oxo-dammara-20, 25-diene (14), dammara-20,24-dien-3β-ol acetate (15). The IC50 values of the anti-inflammatory activity of compounds 1-12 ranged from (1.27±0.02) to (17.55±0.13) μmol·L-1. CONCLUSION The fresh leaves from A. argyi are more abundant in terpenoids with anti-inflammatory activity, among which compounds 3 and 7-14 are isolated for the first time, and this kind of components can be applied in the development of pharmaceutical and health products.
