Abstract: Background: Osteoporosis has emerged as a significant global public health concern, predominantly affecting postmenopausal women. Its pathogenesis is intricate and the disease course is protracted, imposing substantial medical burden on both society and individuals. Objective: To investigate the effects of 2,3,5,4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-d-glucoside (TSG) and acetylated-TSG (Ac-TSG) on osteoblast viability, in vivo pharmacokinetics in rats and anti-osteoporotic effects in ovariectomized rat model. Methods: Ac-TSG was obtained by acetylation of TSG, and the purity and structure of Ac-TSG were determined by HPLC and 1 H NMR. The effects of TSG and Ac-TSG on MC3T3-E1 cell viability, pharmacokinetics in rats, blood biochemical indexes of OVX model rats were detected. Hematoxylin–eosin (HE) staining was used to observe bone tissue morphology, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was used to observe osteoclast morphology, micro-CT was used to perform three-dimensional reconstruction of femur, and femur parameters were analyzed. Results: The structure of the compound is Ac-TSG and the purity is more than 98%. Both TSG and Ac-TSG could reduce the damage of oxidative stress to MC3T3-E1 cells and effectively improve the levels of Ca, P, ALP and BGP in serum of OVX rats. Compared with TSG, Ac-TSG has a longer action time in vivo and can improve the femoral structure, the number of trabecular bone and the number of osteoclasts in rats. Conclusion: Ac-TSG conferred protection to MC3T3-E1 cells against oxidative stress-induced damage and enhanced their bioavailability. Simultaneously, Ac-TSG ameliorated abnormal bone metabolism and mitigated bone microstructural changes in OVX rats, exhibiting a protective effect against osteoporosis.
