Cover Picture: Anti‐Inflammatory Activities of Monoterpene and Sesquiterpene Glycosides from the Aqueous Extract of Artemisia annua L. (Chem. Biodiversity 3/2023)

Front Cover/Cover Picture. Artemisia annua L. is an annual herb of Asteraceae family, one of the famous traditional Chinese medicines, commonly known as “Qing Hao”. However, in Chongming District of Shanghai, it is called “Ku Cao” and has been used for women's post-natal rehabilitation for a long time. In this study, five new monoterpene glycosides (1–5) and two new sesquiterpenoid glycosides (6 and 7) were isolated from the water extract of the aerial part of A. annua. All the new compounds significantly inhibited the expression of IL-6 interleukin-6 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages as reported by Q.-G. Wu et al. in their research article at 10.1002/cbdv.202201237. 2023 VOLUME 20 NO. 3
