OBJECTIVE To investigate the butanol fraction of the water/acetone extract and isolate of the new flavonoids from Launeae arboescens. METHODS The compounds were isolated by liquid chromatographic methods and their structures were identified by using spectroscopic analysis. RESULTS THE ISOLATED COMPOUNDS WERE IDENTIFIED AS: 7-O-[α-rhamnopyranosyl 4',5,6-Trihydroxy flavone 1,4',5'-Di-Methoxy ...

perilla frutescens is an annual herb of the mint family native to east asia. polyphenols present in perilla have various structural varieties with large diversity of biological activities. it is direct influence the quality of perilla plant and their potential functions. some of these products have been studied and proven to be effective source of phenolic antioxidants. the aqueous extract cont...

Ginkgo biloba L., a "living fossil" and medicinal plant, is a well-known rich source of bioactive flavonoids. The molecular mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of flavonoid glucosides, the predominant flavonoids in G. biloba, remains unclear. To better understand flavonoid glucosylation in G. biloba, we generated a transcriptomic dataset of G. biloba leaf tissue by high-throughput RNA sequenc...

In this article, results of (time-dependent) density functional theory (DFT and TDDFT) calculations are combined with experimental absorption and fluorescence measurements to explain fluorescence properties of a series of flavonols. The well-understood fluorescence properties of 3- and 5-hydroxyflavone are revisited and validate our combined experimental and theoretical approach. The accuracy o...

Four novel phenolic compounds (1-4) were isolated from the leaves of Crataegus pinnatifida, along with three known ones (5-7). Their structures were elucidated as: methyl 4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3-[(2E,6E)-8-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl] benzoate (1), biphenyl-5-ol-3-O-β-D-glucoside (2), 3,4'-dimethoxy-biphenyl-5-ol-4-O-β-D-glucoside (3), (E)-6-(benzoyloxy)-1-hydroxyhex-3-en-...

One new and six known flavone glycosides were isolated from the MeOH extract of Melilotus neapolitana Ten. The new compound, identified as 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy-4',5-dihydroxy-3-[O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->6)-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy]flavone (1) by 1D and 2D NMR techniques and mass spectra, was isolated along with kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (2), kaempferol-3-O-glucoside (3), rutin...

In the title coordination polymer, [AgTb(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(C(7)H(4)NO(4))(C(2)O(4))(0.5)(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Tb(III) ion is eight-coordinated by three O atoms from three different pydc (H(2)pydc = pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid) ligands, one O atom from one Hpydc ligand, two O atoms from one oxalate ligand and two water mol-ecules in a distorted square-anti-prismatic geometry. The Ag(I) ion is coor...
