Three new acylated flavonol glycosides, patuletin 7-O-(6' '-isobutyryl)glucoside (1), patuletin 7-O-[6' '-(2-methylbutyryl)]glucoside (2), and patuletin 7-O-(6' '-isovaleryl)glucoside (3), were isolated from the n-BuOH extract of Inula britannica flowers by bioassay-guided fractionation, together with other known flavonoids. The structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR, FABMS, and other spec...

ocular surface because of the absence of scleral flaps and are more likely to erode through the conjunctiva. Even a microscopic break in the overlying conjunctiva could result in bacterial contamination. It would be worthwhile to compare the incidence of endophthalmitis and suture exposure over the long term with the authors’ technique and the scleral flap method. Ajay Singh, MD Jay M. Stewart,...

ABSTRACT Leaves of Inula viscosa were collected from the field, dried, and extracted with a mixture of acetone and n-hexane. The oily, water-insoluble pastes obtained after evaporation of the solvents were used for the control of foliar diseases in growth chambers. The pastes, either dissolved in acetone or emulsified in water, effectively controlled downy mildew of cucumber, late blight of pot...
