Abstract

A new monoterpene glycoside, 6’-O-β-D-glucopyranosylalbiflorin (1), and four known compounds; albiflorin (2), 6’-O-benzoylalbiflorin (3), paeoniflorin (4) and benzoyl paeoniflorin (5), were isolated from the methanolic extract of the roots ofPaeonia lactiflora Pall.. Their chemical structures were completely elucidated using a combination of 2D NMR techniques (COSY, HMQC and HMBC) and HRESI-MS analyses. To investigate the bioactivities of these compounds, their effects on the differentiation of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells were tested. Compound 1 (0.01-10 μM) significantly increased the alkaline phosphatase activity and nodules mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells compared to those of the control (P<0.05). These results suggest that newly isolated compound 1 has a direct stimulatory effect on bone formationin vitro and may contribute to the prevention for osteoporosis.
