From the MeOH extract of leaves of Combretum quadrangulare, fifteen new cycloartane-type triterpenes, methyl quadrangularates A-D (1-4) and N-P (8, 6, 12), methyl 24-epiquadrangularate C (5), quadrangularic acid E (9), 23-deoxojessic acid (10), 1-O-acetyl-23-deoxojessic acid (11), quadragularols A (7) and B (13) and norquadrangularic acids B (14) and C (15) were isolated together with two known...

Estragon and thyme extracts showed potent inhibitory activities against chemical mediator release from rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells. 7-Methoxycoumarin was isolated from estragon, and 5,4'-dihydroxy-6,7,3'-trimethoxyflavone, 5,4'-dihydroxy-6,7,8,3'-tetramethoxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-6,7,8,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavone and luteolin were isolated from thyme as active components. Structure-activit...

OBJECTIVE Deficiency or reduced expression of signal transduction and activation of RNA family protein Quaking (Qki) is associated with developmental defects in neural and vascular tissues and the development of debilitating human diseases including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the mechanisms underlying the aberrant downregulation or deficiency of Qki were uncertain. DESIGN Expression of...

1. Reference and definition The formulation of the “divided cell” algorithm as an approach to the study of the values of a function f (x, y) that is a product of two inhomogeneous linear forms on a lattice in R2 appears in E. S. Barnes, “The inhomogeneous minima of binary quadratic forms (IV)”, Acta Math. 92 (1954) 235–264. Although this is the fourth paper in a series, the first three were wri...

From the ethyl acetate and methanol extract of the aerial parts of Satureja atropatana Bonge, which belongs to the Lamiaceae family, four flavonoids were isolated. Their structures were determined to be 5,6,3'-trihydroxy-7,8,4'-trimethoxyflavone (1), 5,6-dihydroxy-7,8,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone or 5-desmethoxynobiletin (2), 5,6,4'-trihydroxy-7,8,3'-trimethoxyflavone or thymonin (3) and luteolin ...

A high-performance liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 10 flavonoids in Viscum coloratum obtained from different host species and different sources. Viscum coloratum was extracted with 50% methanol. The extracts were separated on a C(18) column with a gradient of 0.1% (v/v) formic acid and methanol. The flavonoids in the extracts ...
