Cornel iridoid glycoside (CIG) is a main component extracted from the Chinese herb Cornus officinalis.
Celastrol (CSL) is one of the main active components extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii.
A two-way ANOVA with CENTRE and STRAIN as main factors was performed to analyse the components extracted with PCA.
Two main principal components were extracted from six variables (physical and environmental characteristics; Additional file 2: Table S2) by eigenvalue > 1.
The main components that were extracted at the optimum point were benzeneethanol (24.87%), geraniol (23.07%), beta-citronellol (22.38%), nerol (8.48%), eugenol (5.98%) and linalool (5.62%).
The main components of the extracted essential oil were α-terpenyl acetate (46.0%), 1,8-cineole (27.7%), linalool (5.3%), α-terpineol (4.0%), linalyl acetate (3.5%).
From the TLC results, it was confirmed that TAG, SE, 1,3-DAG, 1,2-DAG, MAG, and FS were the main components of the extracted lipids, but they contributed to the total lipid content in different amounts.
Result indicated that cyanidin-3-sophoroside, cyanidin-3- 2G-glucosylrutinoside), cyanidin-3- 2G-glucosylrutinoside-3-rutinoside, cyanidin-3- 2G-glucosylrutinosidenidin-3-(2G-glucyanidin-3- 2G-glucosylrutinosiderutinoside were main components in extracts.
Moreover, the anti-inflammatory capacity of the extract, and its protective effect against UV-radiation injury are reliable properties that can be attributed to flavonoid diglycosides, the main components of the extract.
