•Four new phenolic glucosides were isolated from Curculigo orchioides Gaertn.•Antiosteoporotic effects were evaluated for the isolated phenolic glycosides.•Chlorophenolic glucosides have better antiosteoporotic activity than phenolic glycosides.Three new chlorophenolic glucosides, curculigine K (1), curculigine L (2), curculigine J (3) and one new phenolic glycoside, curculigoside I (4), together with two known phenolic glycosides (5, 6) were isolated from the dried rhizomes of Curculigo orchioides Gaertn. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV, MS, 1D and 2D NMR). The isolated chlorophenolic glycosides were evaluated for antiosteoporotic activity against MC3T3-E1 cell line by using MTT assays. Compounds 1 and 2 showed moderate antiosteoporotic activity with the proliferation rate of 10.6–13.9%.

A sensitive and accurate method for the simultaneous determination of five alkaloids, namely 9α-hydroxymatrine (M1), matrine (M2), sophoridine (M3), oxymatrine (M4), alopecurin A (M5) in different parts (seed, legume, stem, and root) and different harvest times of Sophora alopecuroides L. was developed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photodiode array detector (PDA) for the first time. The separation by gradient elution was achieved on Scienhome Kromasil C18 (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) column at 30 °C with acetonitrile (A)/0.1% phosphatic acid + 0.1% triethylamine (B) as the mobile phase. The detection wavelength was 205 nm. The optimized method provided a good linear relation (r ≥ 0.9993 for all the target compounds), satisfactory precision (RSD values less than 2.3%) and good recovery (96.4–103.6%). The limits of detection ranged between 0.11 × 10−3 and 4.70 × 10−3 μg for the different analytes. The method was successfully applied to analysis and quality control of alkaloid extracts from the traditional Chinese herbal drugs of S. alopecuroides L.

Using nonchiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with a circular dichroism (CD) detector, we developed a new method to determine the enantiomeric excess (e.e.) of glucose derivatized with chromophores (p-bromobenzoate). This method is suitable for microscale analysis of glycoside and saccharide. As an application of this method, the enantiomeric excess of the component glucose of a glucan was assayed.
