A new dihydrobenzofuran‐type neolignan, picrasmalignan A (1), and a new sesterterpene lactone, 2′‐isopicrasin A (4), were isolated from the stems of Picrasma quassioides Bennet, along with four known compounds, comprising two neolignans, 2 and 3, a sesterterpene lactone, 5, and a flavonol, 6. The structures of these compounds were determined by detailed analysis of NMR and MS data, and comparison with the literature data. Compounds 1–6 were tested for their anti‐inflammatory activity, and 1–3…

Quassinoids from Picrasma quassioides and Their Neuroprotective Effects.
TLDR
Eight new and 15 known quassinoids were isolated from an extract of the stems of Picrasma quassioides and it was revealed that the potential protective activities of these compounds appeared to occur via the suppression of cell apoptosis and downregulation of caspase-3 activation.

A New Triterpenoid from the Aerial Parts of Agrimonia pilosa
TLDR
Compound 1 was the first example of a 28-norursene backbone isolated from the genus Agrimonia, and a plausible biosynthetic pathway for compound 1 in A. pilosa was also proposed.

Effects of Enantiomerically Pure β-Carboline Alkaloids from Picrasma quassioides on Human Hepatoma Cells.
TLDR
Four pairs of β-carboline enantiomers with a single enantiomeric configuration, together with 2 known achiral congeners, were isolated from the stems of Picrasma quassioides and screened for their cytotoxicity against hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B and HepG2 cells, which revealed that enantomeric compounds 4A: and 4B: had distinctive effects in HepG 2 cells.
In vitro anti-inflammatory effects of beta-carboline alkaloids, isolated from Picrasma quassioides, through inhibition of the iNOS pathway.
TLDR
Results indicated that potent inhibition of nitric oxide, TNF-α, and IL-6, but not COx-2 expression and COX-2 activity, might constitute the anti-inflammatory mechanism of β-carboline alkaloids.
