A further investigation of the leaves and stems of Saprosma scortechinii afforded 13 compounds, of which 10 are new compounds. These were elucidated as the bis-iridoid glucosides, saprosmosides G (1) and H (2), the iridoid glucoside, 6-O-epi-acetylscandoside (3), and the anthraquinones, 1-methoxy-3-hydroxy-2-carbomethoxy-9,10-anthraquinone (4), 1-methoxy-3-hydroxy-2-carbomethoxy-9,10-anthraquin...

Dipsaci Radix has been proved to represent an effective treatment strategy for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the potential active components in have not evaluated by AD-related bioassay. In this study, water fraction of had shown highest inhibitory effect on activity tests, including inhibition acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving ...

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) play an essential role in global health systems, since more than 80% of population use natural products primary healthcare. Given that the herbal medicines is exponentially increasing, as well many MAPs are introduced into market, cultivation practices applied to produce high quality standardized plant raw materials. Thus, present study focuses on chemical f...
