    We isolated the new sesquiterpenes, valerianaterpenes IV and V, and the new lignans valerianalignans I–III from the methanol extracts of the rhizomes and roots of Valeriana fauriei and elucidated their structures based on chemical and spectroscopic findings. The absolute configuration of valerianaterpene IV and valerianalignans I–III were established by comparing experimental and predicted electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data. Among the isolated compounds, valerianalignans I and II exerted anti-proliferative activity against human astrocytoma cells (U-251 MG) and their cancer stem cells (U-251 MG CSCs). Interestingly, valerianalignans I and II notably exerted anti-proliferative activities at lower concentrations against CSCs than non-CSCs, and the absolute configurations of these compounds affected their activities.
