In Japan, maximum residue levels (MRL) have been set for eight pesticides (a-BHC, b-BHC, g-BHC, d-BHC (BHCs), p,p′-DDE, o,p′-DDT, p,p′-DDD, p,p′-DDT (DDTs)) in 14 crude drugs (below 0.2 ppm as total of BHCs, below 0.2 ppm as total of DDTs). There are fears that pesticides present in crude drugs for which MRL are set will be changed from BHCs and DDTs to other pesticides with MRL setting as the ...

α-Glucosidase inhibitory effect and simultaneous quantification of three major flavonoid glycosides in Microctis folium.

Microctis Folium, the leaves of Microcos paniculata L., is a commonly used herbal tea material. The methanol extract of Microctis Folium and its principle compounds vitexin (1), isovitexin (2) and isorhamnetin 3-O-β-D-rutinoside (3) were investigated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory effects. The extract showed strong α-glucosidase inhibitory effect (IC₅₀ = 61.30 μg/mL) and the three flavonoid...
