Abstract
The study evaluated the anticomplement activity from isolated compounds from Artemisia montana (Nakai) Pamp. from South Korea on the classical pathway. In a previous work, A. montana (Nakai) Pamp. chloroform extracts showed inhibitory activity against complement system. The chromatographic separation of a chloroform chloride extract of A. montana (Nakai) Pamp. led to the isolation of four compounds. Their structures were characterized to be ezoartemin (1), yamayomoginin (2), ezomontanin (3) and 11,13-dihydroezomontanin (4) by spectroscopic data. This is the first report of anticomplement activity of isolated compounds from A. montana (Nakai) Pamp.
