Campesterol, a plant sterol in nature, is known to have cholesterol lowering and anticarcinogenic effects. Since angiogenesis is essential for cancer, it was surmised that an antiangiogenic effect may be involved in the anticancer action of this compound. This study investigated the effect of campesterol on basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced angiogenesis in vitro in human umbilical v...

Five flavones were isolated from Chrysanthemum coronarium L., four of which were isolated for the first time from the genus Chrysanthemum. Two were the flavonoid aglycones 5,7-dihydroxy-3,6,4'-trimethoxyflavone (1) and scutellarin-6,7-dimethyl ether (2). A new flavonoid glycoside, apigenin-7-O-[2"(6'''-O-beta-D-acetylglucopyranosyl)]-6"-O-acetylglucopyranoside (3), along with two known ones, i....

Three quinic acid derivatives, i.e., chlorogenic acid (CA), 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (SP-1), and 3,5dicaffeoyl-4-succinylquinic acid (SP-2), determined in five garland (Chrysanthemum coronarium L.) cultivars were analyzed using HPLC. Young leaves contained greater amounts of these compounds than other parts, and mean dry weight content was 5.4 mg/g for CA, 22.9 mg/g for SP-1, and 20.8 mg/g for...

Under cultivation conditions, 5 were tested: еndemic Middle and Southern Urals Astragalus clerceanus Iljin et Krasch., Hedysarum grandiflorum Pall., Volga-Sou...

Previous studies have indicated that in all land plants examined to date, the chloroplast gene trnLUAA isinterrupted by a single group I intron ranging from 250 to over 1400 bp. The parasitic Epifagus virginiana haslost, however, the entire gene. We report that the intron is missing from the chloroplast genome of twoarctic species of the legume genus Hedysarum (H. alpinum, H. ...
