Abstract
Cyperus rotundus L. has been extensively used in ancient medication for the treatment of different disorders worldwide, in which sesquiterpenes are the most representative components. In this study, sesquiterpenes were effectively purified by two‐dimensional counter‐current chromatography in combination with continuous injection and inner‐recycling mode with a solvent system of n‐hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water (1:0.2:1:0.2, v/v/v/v). For one‐dimension separation, continuous injection mode was used with three times injection and the inner‐recycling mode was adopted for the separation of two mixtures for two‐dimensional separation. Finally, four sesquiterpenoids, including scariodione (1), cyperenoic acid (2), scariodione (3), and α‐cyperone (4), were obtained with purities over 98%. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance were applied to identify their structures. The results from the anti‐inflammation effect with zebrafish demonstrated that cyperenoic acid exhibited stronger anti‐inflammation activity. Molecular docking results suggested that cyperenoic acid possessed lower binding energies –9.4545 kcal/mol with 1CX2 to form formed hydrogen bond interaction with ARG120. In general, all the obtained findings proved that the strong anti‐inflammation capacity of cyperenoic acid can have the potential of being adopted for treating diseases resulting from inflammation.
