Phytochemical investigation of the roots of Salsola imbricata allowed to two new bioactive biphenylpropanoids (1) and (2) named, biphenylsalsonoid A and B, respectively. Their structures were established through spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D NMR, (ES)-HRMS, and IR). The isolates were tested for their antioxidant activity using DPPH• and ABTS•+ assays. 1 and 2 showed a moderate activity towar...

The interaction of several biogenic amines and Compound A (2-(4-acetoxyphenyl)-2-chloro- N-methyl-ethylammonium chloride), an analogue of the active substance in a HPLC fraction isolated from the shrub, Salsola tuberculatiformis Botsch., with cytochrome P450c11 was investigated. Noradrenaline, octopamine and Compound A inhibited the type I DOC induced difference spectrum of P450c11 and elicited...
