Two new sesterterpenoids, atractylodes japonica terpenoid acid I (1) and atractylodes japonica terpenoid aldehyde I (2), were isolated from the rhizomes of Atractylodes japonica Koidz. ex Kitam together with ten known compounds (3-12). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analysis (1D/2D NMR, HRESIMS and IR). In addition, all of these isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against human gastric cancer cell MGC-803 and human hepatocellular cancer cell HepG-2. Most of them exhibited moderate to weak inhibitory effects with IC values in the range of 25.15-88.85 μM except for 9-12.

Medicinal herbs produce valuable substances with therapeutic potential. The chemical structures of those substances are often converted by gut microbiota. Our previous studies showed that several kinds of bioactive molecules are newly generated in fermented medicinal herbal extract with plant-derived lactic acid bacteria (LABs).
