Cydonia oblonga Miller leaves phenolic compounds were analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC/DAD and HPLC/UV. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of phenolics were carried out in a total of 36 samples of quince leaves from three different geographical origins of Northern (Bragança and Carrazeda de Ansiães) and Central Portugal (Covilhã) and three collection months (June, August, and October of 2006)...

Chromatographic separation of a 70% aqueous methanol extract (AME) of Pongamia pinnata (Linn.) Pierre (Leguminosae) leaves has led to the isolation of two new isoflavonoid diglycosides, 4'-O-methyl-genistein 7-O-beta-D-rutinoside (2) and 2',5'-dimethoxy-genistein 7-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-(1"'-->6")-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6), and a new rotenoid, 12a-hydroxy-alpha-toxicarol (5), together with ...

two new prenylated flavonoids, named scariosin (1) and isorhynchospermin (2) were isolated from the leaves of paracalyx scariosa together with kaempferol, quercetin, kaempferol 3-o- rutinoside and rutin. the structures of (1) and (2) were characterized as 8-c- prenyl- taxifolin 7,3'-dimethylether and 6-c-prenylquercetin 7,4'-dimethylether by their chemical and spectra data, respectively.

Five flavonoid glycosides were isolated from the n-butanol soluble fraction of the ethanolic extract of Rapistrum rugosum and their structures were assigned from 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra (DEPT) with 2D NMR as quercetin-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (1), quercetin-3-O-β-D-xyloside (2), quercetin, 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside,7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (3), kaempferol 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside, 7-O-α-L-rham...

The Cactaceae family is composed by 124 genera and about 1438 species. Pilosocereus gounellei, popularly known in Brazil as xique-xique, is used in folk medicine to treat prostate inflammation, gastrointestinal and urinary diseases. The pioneering phytochemical study of P. gounellei was performed using column chromatography and HPLC, resulting in the isolation of 10 substances: pinostrobin (1),...

Two new prenylated flavonoids, named scariosin (1) and isorhynchospermin (2) were isolated from the leaves of paracalyx scariosa together with kaempferol, quercetin, kaempferol 3-O- rutinoside and rutin.

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...

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...
