Chloranthus henryi
Chloranthus henryi
Chloranthus henryi is a plant traditionally not used in any known medicinal practices. Scientific research has identified several bioactive compounds from its roots, including potent neuroprotective activity against H2O2-induced damage to PC12 cells and anti-inflammatory effects through the suppression of the IKBα/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway. Ten compounds, five of which are new, were isolated with some showing medium inhibitory activity on nitric oxide generation. Additionally, eleven new amides demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting Akt phosphorylation, though their effects on TNF-α and IL-1β varied. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for Chloranthus henryi.

What the science says
- Compounds 8, 10, and 11 showed potent neuroprotective activity against H2O2-induced PC12 cell damage at 10 μM.
- The study identified new sesquiterpenoids from Chloranthus henryi roots that showed anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing the IKBα/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway.
- Ten compounds, including five new ones, were isolated from Chloranthus henryi, and their structures were determined; some showed medium inhibitory activity on nitric oxide generation.
- The study identified eleven new amides from Chloranthus henryi var. hupehensis and found that certain compounds inhibited inflammatory responses by blocking Akt phosphorylation.
