Iridoids are dietary phytochemicals that may have the ability to inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Three studies were conducted to investigate this anti-AGE potential. First, the inhibition of fluorescence intensity by food-derived iridoids, after 4 days of incubation with bovine serum albumin, glucose, and fructose, was used to evaluate in vitro antiglycation act...

Background: Jasminum grandiflorum is a medical plant widely used in Ayurvedic herbal medicines India. This host to very novel medicinal potential molecules such as iridoids. Flavonoids and other small are also elaborated by this plant. The present study was aimed understand the computational inhibition of phytochemicals against anti-inflammatory molecular targets. Methods: iridoids, flavonoids ...

We analyzed the effect of Cornelian cherry varieties differing in fruit color ('Yantaryi'-yellow fruits, 'Koralovyi'-coral fruits, 'Podolski'-red fruits) and the production method on the physicochemical and antioxidative properties of Cornelian cherry vinegars, and on their content of iridoids and polyphenols. Acetic fermentation was conducted by two methods: I) single-stage (spontaneous) aceti...

Iridoids form a broad and versatile class of biologically active molecules found in thousands of plant species. In addition to the many hundreds of iridoids occurring in plants, some iridoids, such as secologanin, serve as key building blocks in the biosynthesis of thousands of monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) and many quinoline alkaloids. This study describes the molecular cloning and funct...

Species of Betonica L. genus are widespread in Ukraine and contain different groups biologically active substances: hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonoids, tannins, iridoids, terpenoids, steroids, essential oil, organic vitamin K, nitrogen-containing compounds, phenylethanoid glycosides. show a wide range pharmacological activity (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, choleretic, diuretic, sedative, antit...

From the polar fractions of Teucrium sandrasicum O. Schwarz. roots, eleven known glycosides were isolated including three iridoids [8-O-acetyl harpagide (1), (2) and teuhircoside (3)], a flavanone [hesperidin (4)], an acetophenone [androsin (5)] six phenylethanoids [salidroside (6), leonoside E (7), isoacteoside (8), B (9), sideritiside A (10), isolavandulifolioside (11)]. In addition, [teusand...
