AIMS Both Rheum palmatum and R. tanguticum are important but endangered medicinal plants endemic to China. In this study, we aimed to (i) investigate the level and pattern of genetic variability within/among populations of those species; (ii) evaluate genetic differentiation between both species and its relationships and ascertain whether both species are consistent with their current taxonomic...

Rhapontigenin was produced from rhapontin isolated from a methanol extract of Rheum undulatum roots by enzymatic transformation. Rhapontin and rhapontigenin exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells, but the inhibitory activity of rhapontigenin was greater than that of rhapontin. Thus the bioconversion of rhapontin enhanced its abi...

A dry extract from the roots of rhapontic rhubarb (extract Rheum rhaponticum (L.); ERr) has been commercially available in Germany for over two decades to treat menopausal symptoms. However, the molecular basis of its clinical effectiveness remains obscure. This article reviews the in vitro and in vivo data of its estrogenic actions, particularly those mediated by estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta).

seven stilbenes and one catechin were bioactivity-guidedly isolated from the rhizomes of rheum palmatem. their structures were identified as piceatannol(1), resveratrol(2), piceid(3), rhapontigenin(4), piceatannol-3'-o-β-d-glucopyranoside(5), rhaponticin(6), catechin(7) and desoxyrhapontigenin(8). anti-monoamine oxidase (mao) activities of compounds 1–8 were tested. compounds 1 and 8 showe...
