White clover (Trifolium repens) plants were grown in the presence or absence of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices. Flavones, 4',5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone, as well as two flavones 3,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone never previously reported in plants, were isolated. The known
To produce rhamnetin using enzymatic engineering, poplar O-methyltransferase-7 and its mutants were prepared based on the rational enzyme design, and the production of rhamnetin was compared with the results obtained using the wild type enzyme. In addition, the potential of
Preliminary studies with the four extracts of Oxytropis falcate Bunge exhibited that the chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts showed stronger antibacterial activities against the nine tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The HPLC-scanned and bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation and
The regioselective synthesis of several quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxy flavone) tetraesters bearing a single free OH on 5-C was achieved in good yield by proper choice of reaction conditions using common esterification procedures. Tetracetylated quercetin with the free OH on 7-C was
From the methylene chloride extract of the leaves of Guiera senegalensis a novel naphthopyran, 5-methylflavasperone (5,8,10-trimethoxy-2-methyl-4 H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-4-one), as well as rhamnetin were isolated. Rhamnetin showed a strong inhibitory activity on 5-lipoxygenase from porcine leucocytes with an IC50 value of 0.7
Antioxidants protect biological systems from oxidative damage produced by oxygen-containing free radicals and from redoxactive transition metal ions such as iron, copper, and cadmium.
