چکیده
Three new orcinol (3-hydroxy-5-methylphenol)-conjugated hydrolysable tannins, together with two known compounds were isolated from the leaves of Cleyera japonica (CJ), and have been tentatively named cleyeratannin A (1), cleyeratannin B (2) and cleyeratannin C (3). The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated using 1 dimensional (1D)/2D NMR and high resolution FAB-MS, and the absolute configuration was confirmed by circular dichroism (CD). To evaluate their anti-oxidative activities, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)/free radical scavenging activity and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT)/superoxide anion scavenging activity were determined.

Seasonal Variation of Tannin Content in Wild Bush Tea
The objective of the study was to determine seasonal variation in the concentration of tannins in wild bush tea (Athrixia phylicoides L.) leaves. The BuOH-HCl_Fe reagent was used to analyze condensed tannins, whereas hydrolysable tannin was analyzed using potassium iodate. The absorbance was measured using a spectrophotometer. Significant seasonal variations in both condensed and hydrolysable t...
متن کاملGallic acid and hydrolysable tannins are formed in birch leaves from an intermediate compound of the shikimate pathway
Gallic acid is the starting material for hydrolysable tannin synthesis, but the mechanism of its formation in higher plants has not been known. To elucidate the pathway of gallic acid synthesis in the leaves of mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii), we studied the effects of glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl]-glycine) on the levels of individual hydrolysable tannins. Glyphosate is kn...
متن کاملSeasonal variation in the phenol content of Eugenia uniflora L . leaves
Hydrolysable tannins, total phenols and flavonoids in Eugenia uniflora leaves were monthly analysed for one year. The results were correlated with climate conditions (rainfall, humidity, cloudiness and mean temperature) through chemometric methods. Principal component analysis revealed high levels of hydrolysable tannins in the rainy season, whereas flavonoids were mainly produced in the dry se...

Nanomaterials are widely used in health and biomedical applications, however, only a few studies investigate their toxic effects. The present report signifies a contribution to the study of the toxic effects of silver nanoparticles on E. coli cells, which is a model organism of anthropogenic pollution. The toxicity of nanoparticles depends on their chemical and surface properties, shape and ...
متن کاملTyrosinase Inhibitory Chemical Constituents from Cleyera japonica Thunberg Branches
Bioassay-guided investigation of the branches of Cleyera japonica led to the isolation of four phenolic constituents: 3,3’-di-O-methylellagic acid (1), 3,3’-di-O-methylellagic acid 4’-O-β-D-xylofuranoside (2), 3,5,7-trihydroxychromone 3-O-α-L-arabinofuranoside (3) and aviculin (4). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral studies, as well as by comparison with literature data. ...
