A simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of chlorogenic acid (3-O-caffeoyl-D-quinic acid) in rat plasma and applied to its pharmacokinetic study in rats after peritoneal administration of compound Daqingye injection. Plasma samples are extracted with perchloric acid. HPLC analysis of the chlorogenic acid is performed on a C(1...

Russet spotting (RS) is a physiological disorder induced in iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) by exposure to parts per million levels of ethylene at 5 +/- 2 degrees C. Ethylene induced phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and ionically bound peroxidase activities that correlated with development of RS symptoms. The ethylene-treated tissue had significantly higher lignin content than air control tissue...

Preliminary screening of a minor, non-xanthine constituent of roasted coffee, 3,4-diferuloyl-1,5-quinolactone (DIFEQ), showed inhibition of the adenosine transporter at low micromolar concentration. DIFEQ is a neutral derivative of the chlorogenic acids, i.e. isomeric mono- and di-substituted coumaroyl-, caffeoyl-, and feruloyl-esters of quinic acid, formed in the roasting process of coffee. Di...

Acylisothiocyanate (1) was allowed to react with benzylidene malononitrile producing oxazine derivative (2). Also, compound (1) was reacted with sodium azide followed by refluxing with sodium ethoxide affording thiazinotetrazole derivative (4). The reaction of acetylacetone with compound (1) gave pyridine derivative (5) by intramolecular cycloaddition while it was reacted with N-methyl aniline ...

Roman chamomile, Chamaemelum nobile L. (Asteraceae), has been used for medicinal applications, mainly through oral dosage forms (decoctions and infusions). Herein, the nutritional characterisation of C. nobile was performed, and herbal material and its decoction and infusion were submitted to an analysis of phytochemicals and bioactivity evaluation. The antioxidant activity was determined by fr...

Development of an ion-exchange HPLC method to simultaneously determine certain organic acids and sugars in green coffee is described. Identifying and quantitating flavor relevant compounds in green coffee offers the potential for an objective measure of cup quality. Presently, a panel of trained experts who rely upon sensory discrimination, a subjective measure, determines coffee quality. Accur...

A new p-hydroxyphenylacetyl flavonoid, diosmetin 7-(6''-O-p-hydroxyphenylacetyl)-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside (1), was isolated from the flowers of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. 'huaiju' cv. nov. (Compositae), together with five known flavonoids, luteolin (2), diosmetin (3), diosmetin 7-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside (4), diosmin (5), and scolimoside (6), and four known caffeoylquinic acid derivatives,...

The aim of this study was to synthesize a new oxetan-phenyltetrahydropyridazine-3,6-dione derivative (compound 6) using with different techniques. The first method was achieved by the preparation of a phenylhydrazine derivative (2) using three components system (3,17-aldol-estradiol, phenylhydrazine, 5-hexyn-3-ol) in presence of Copper(II). Then, 2 Was reacted with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chlor...
