Synthesis and Promotion of the Osteoblast Proliferation Effect of Morroniside Derivatives

Sambucus williamsii Hance has been used in fractures for thousands of years, but research on its active components, such as morroniside, until now had not been carried out. In this study, morroniside was taken as the leading compound, and fourteen derivatives were synthesized. The promotion of osteoblast proliferation effect of the derivatives was evaluated on MC3T3-E1 cells. Five derivatives (2, 3, 4, 5, and 14) showed a good proliferation effect on MC3T3-E1 cells, and their promoted expression effects on OC (Osteocalcin) and ALP (Alkaline phosphatase) in MC3T3-E1 cells were measured. Compound 3 was shown to have the strongest proliferation effect (EC50 = 14.78 ± 1.17 μg/mL) and to significantly promote the expression of OC and ALP.
