Seven phenolic compounds were isolated from the fruits of Viburnum sargentii Koehne by silica gel column chromatography and preparative HPLC. On the grounds of chemical and spectroscopic methods, their structures were identified as (-)-Epicatechin (1), 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-flavonoid-8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[4-(3-α-L-rhamnopyranoxypropyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy]-1,3-p...

Background and Aims: Hypericum microcalycinum Boiss. & Heldr. is used for inflammatory diseases in Anatolia. The involvement of liver X receptors (LXRs) free radicals diseases, activation LXRs, high radical contents cancerous tissue organs prompted us to determine the scavenging LXRα agonist activity aqueous fraction methanol extract fractions H. along with isolation studies from active fracti...

Abnormal serum urate levels are recognized as a critical factor in the progression of several chronic diseases. To evaluate the antihyperuricemic effect of Davallia formosana, the inhibitory activities of 15 isolated phytochemicals, including five novel compounds of 6,8-dihydroxychromone-7-C- β -d-glucopyranoside (1), 6,8,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavanone-7-C- β -d-glucopyranoside (2), 6,8,4'-trihydr...

Different plant parts of Ligusticopsis wallichiana (family: Apiaceae) are widely used as traditional medicines. Although many volatile constituents are already identified from the leaves of L. wallichiana, there is no detailed report on the nonvolatile constituents. In the present study, we aimed to isolate and identify the major chemical constituents from the leaves. Bhutkesoside A (1), falcar...

Three new diarylheptanoid glycosides, named (+)-S-myricanol 5-0-beta-D-glucopyranoside, myricanene A 5-O-alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and myricanene B 5-0-alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside, were isolated from the bark of Chinese Myrica rubra, together with twenty known compounds. The absolute stereostructures of the new diarylheptanoid glycosides ...

Four new benzofuran-type stilbene glycosides and 14 known compounds including 8 benzofuran-type stilbenes and 6 flavonoids were isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine, Cortex Mori Radicis. The new compounds were identified as (9R)-moracin P 3'-O-α-l-arabinopyranoside (1), (9R)-moracin P 9-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), (9R)-moracin P 3'-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), and (9R)-moracin O 10-O-β-d...

This work describes an analytical platform based on semi-high-resolution antileishmanial profiling combined with hyphenation of high-performance liquid chromatography - high-resolution mass spectrometry - solid-phase extraction - nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, i.e., semiHR-antileishmanial assay/HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR. The platform enables fast pinpointing of HPLC peaks representing Leishma...

A new saponin, malonylginsenoside Ra3, was isolated from the fresh root of Panax ginseng, along with four known ginsenosides. The new compound was identified as (20S)-protopanaxadiol-3-O-(6-O-malonyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside-20-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->3)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside on the basis of extensive 1D and 2D NMR as well as HRESI-MS ...

Two new sulfated triterpenoid saponins, zygophylosides Q (1) and R (2), have been isolated from the barks of Zygophyllum fabago L. Their structures were elucidated as 3beta,24,28,30-tetrahydro-urs-20-ene-24-O-sulphonyl-3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-30-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside and 3beta,24,28,30-tetrahydro-urs-20-ene-24-O-sulphonyl-3-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl]-30-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, respective...

From the overground parts of an endemic Sideritis species, S. stricta, 4 diterpenes, sideridiol (1), isosidol (2), isolinearol (3), and linearol (4); 2 flavonoid glycosides, isoscutellarein 7-O-[6′′′-O-acetyl-β-Dallopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), and isoscutellarein 7-O-[6′′′-O-acetyl-β-D-allopyranosyl(1→2)]-6′′-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (6); a methoxyflavone, xanthomicrol (7); an...
