Article Abstract
A new asarone-derived racemate (1) was isolated from the rhizome of Acorus tatarinowii. The structure of 1 was established by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, and it was successfully resolved by chiral HPLC, demonstrating that it is racemic. The absolute configurations of 1a [(-)-acortatarone A] and 1b [(+)-acortatarone A] were determined using quantum chemical calculations. Compounds 1a and 1b were the first cases of asarone derivatives with the 5,7-dialkyl-6-aryl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-one core. The α-glucosidase inhibitory and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of 1 were evaluated, and it exhibited α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with potency close to that of the positive control (acarbose).

The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the kinetics of Acori tatarinowii rhizoma (ATR) and to investigate how hot air drying at different temperatures affected the surface texture and sensory quality of the ATR. The drying kinetics of ATR were evaluated at five temperature levels (35, 45, 55, 65, and 75 ℃). Among the tested models, the Cubic model showed the best performance.

The essential oils (EOs) represent a natural source of diverse phytoconstituents that may exert a wide range of health-promoting effects, including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory activities. Compounds with antioxidative and anti-tyrosinase properties present in EOs may suppress excessive melanin production and protect skin cells from oxidative stress factors that often aggravate the pigmentation process.
