In the preceding paper (Daglish, 1950) it was shown that juglone existed in the walnut as the glucoside of 1:4:5-trihydroxynaphthalene and not as free anor P-hydrojuglone as previously suggested (Mylius, 1885a, b). In order to determine its role in the economy ofthe plant, the occurrence ofthe glucoside was determined during the 1948 and 1949 growing periods. The methods used, together with the...

Quantification of the flavonoids in yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus; Leguminosae) seedlings revealed that a flavone glucoside, 7-O-beta-(2-O-beta-rhamnosyl)glucosyl-4',5,7-trihydroxyflavone (apigenine 7-O-beta-neohesperidoside), is rich in the epicotyl and cotyledon. In hypocotyls and roots, 8-C-beta-glucosyl-4',5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone (genistein 8-C-beta-glucoside) was a predominant flavonoid co...

An enzyme in extracts of Aerobacter aerogenes was shown to catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of cellobiose monophosphate (6-0-phosphoryl-b-D-ghtcopyranosyl-(1 --f 4)-D-gillcase) to yield equimolar amounts of D-glucose and D-glucose 6-phosphate. The enzyme was partially purified and characterized. In addition to cellobiose monophosphate, it catalyzed the cleavage of cellobiitol phosphate, arbutin...

background and objectives: plants belonging to the genus tilia l. (tiliaceae) are often tall beautiful trees which are considered for various medicinal potentials of their flowers and leaves. the present study was an attempt to investigate the phytochemical constituents of tilia rubra subsp. caucasica leaves from the hyrcanian forests of north of iran. methods: chromatography on silica gel (nor...

Examination of the acetone extract of the aerial parts of Hypericum ellipticum afforded a new acetylated benzophenone glucoside (3'-O-beta-D-3",4",6"-triacetylglucopyranosyl-2,4,5',6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone) together with catechin and epicatechin. The structure of the benzophenone glucoside was determined by 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The compound inhibited the proliferation of CNS tumor cell ...

spectrometry using electrospray (ESI) and sonic spray (SSI) ionization for the characterization of nonvolatile phenolic compounds is tested using the special Hungarian wine Tokaj aszu of 1983 vintage. Besides caffeic-, ferrulic-, chlorogenic-, and 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acids; 3,4-dimethoxycinnamoyl-, ferruloyl-, and galloyl-glucose; gentisic acid-b-∆-glucoside; theogallin; and resveratrol-3-O-b...

Background: Literature review shows that there are not sufficient data about polyphenolic compounds of peel of Iranian pomegranate. So, this work was mainlyundertaken to determine phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of dried peel of Iranian pomegranate. Methods: Pomegranate fruits were obtained from mature fruits grown in Saveh, Iran and the Pomegranate Peel (PP) were dried with three ...

Rosa damascena, Tripleurospermum disciforme and Securigera securidaca were used as disinfectant agents and for treatment of some disease in folk medicine of Iran. The antimicrobial effects of different fractions of seeds extract of S. securidaca, petals extract of R. damascena and aerial parts extract of T. disciforme were examined against some gram positive, gram negative and fungi by cup plat...

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out using a Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) in an attempt to investigate the electro-molecular properties of branched-chain glucoside (C14C10-D-glucoside) isomers. The results showed that αconfiguration of pyranoside form is thermodynamically the most stable, while the solution should contain much more β...

By repeated selection of pigment portions of tissue the red callus induced from root seed­ lings of Penstemon serrulatus Menz. was chosen for suspension culture, which was maintained in Schenk and Hildebrandt medium supplemented with naphthaleneacetic acid (0.2 mg/1), 6-benzylaminopurine (2 mg/1) and sucrose (50 g/1). From the cultured cells eight phenolic compounds were isolated. They were ide...
