The structure-activity relationships between flavonoids and their tracheal relaxant action are little known. In the present study, 26 natural and synthetic flavonoids, divided into the five classes of flavones, flavonols, flavanones, isoflavones, and chalcones, were tested, and their IC (50) values were determined. The IC (50) values of these five classes indicated that flavones were more poten...

Z. Naturforsch. 50c, 345-352 (1995); received January 27/February 20, 1995 Liverworts, Frullania, Flavone Aglycones, Acylated Flavone Glycosides, Chemotaxonomy From Frullania teneriffae 5 known flavone aglycones and 6 flavone glycosides were iso­ lated, among them the new 6-OH-luteolin-6-0-ß-D-glucoside-7-0-ß-D-glueoside-6'"-(3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaroylester). F. cesatiana contains 2 flavone-di...

A novel binary compounds as 3-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-benzo[f]indazole-4,9-dione (10) and fused 2-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione (7) naphtho[2,3-b]furan-3,4,9(2H)-trione (6) based on lawsone ‘that plays important precursor’ was synthesized by reaction with 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde halo-compounds, such 2-chlor...

Various monohydroxylated fatty acids were synthesized from eicosapolyenoic acids, namely arachidonic (20:4 omega-6), timnodonic (20:5 omega-3), dihomogammalinolenic (20:3 omega-6) and mead (20:3 omega-9) acids. 12-Hydroxy derivatives, as well as 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), were produced with platelets as the enzyme source, and 15-hydroxy derivatives were produced by soya bea...

Two new prenylchalcones, xanthohumol C and D, together with two known prenylchalcone derivatives, xanthohumol (1) and 5''-(2''-hydroxyisopropyl)-dihydrofurano-[2'',3''-b]-4,4'-dihydroxy-6'-methoxy-chalcone (4) were isolated and identified from the hops of Humulus lupulus L. The structures of xanhohumol C and D were elucidated as 5''-hydroxy-6'',6''-dimethyl-dihydropyrano-[2'',3''-b]-4,4'-dihydr...

An Alkanna orientalis leaf and flower extract inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, a pathogen that causes an estimated 478 000 hospitalizations in the US annually. Bioassay-guided fractionation of A. orientalis resulted in isolation of the flavonoid sarothrin (5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,6,8-trimethoxyflavone), which inhibited the growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis (MIC 75 µM) and S. aureus (M...

Benzoxazinoids (BXs) are phytochemicals that exert plant-protecting, allelopathic, and human-health-promoting effects. Here, we present a data-dependent acquisition-mass spectrometry based method to locate annotate BX-conjugates in different fractions of plant extract. This allows for isolation compounds much smaller percentage than common natural products yet still sufficient subsequent identi...
