Flavonoid contents as aglycones (for quercetin, kaempherol, isorhamnetin, luteolin and apigenin) were reported for 115 edible plants (91 species). Plant materials mostly originated in tropical zones were grown and harvested from AVRDC, Taiwan. Acid extraction and HPLC were used as analytical methods. Total flavonoid contents ranged from 0 to 254 mg/100g fresh weight. About 75% of samples were f...

13C-NMR, Apigenin, Kaempferol, Flavonoid, Biosynthesis Cell suspension cultures of parsley (Petroselinum hortense) were incubated with [l,2-13C2]acetate during a period of active flavonoid production. The flavonoid glycosides were extracted with ethanol, hydrolyzed in dilute acid, and the aglycones purified by chromatography. Apigenin, a flavone, and kaempferol, a flavonol, were analyzed at 67....

Fruits and vegetables are rich in flavonoids, and ample epidemiological data show that diets rich in fruits and vegetables confer protection against cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases, and cancer. However, flavonoid bioavailability is reportedly very low in mammals and the molecular mechanisms of their action are still poorly known. This review focuses on membrane trans...

this study documents the flavonoid constituents of seven salvia species in iran namely s.atropatana bunge, s. limbata c. a. mey, s. sclarea l., s. ceratophylla l., s. multicaulis vahl.,s. hydrangea dc. ex benth., and s. eremophila boiss. the studied species were collected fromtheir natural habitats in iran and were analyzed for their flavonoid constituents using twodimensionalthin layer chromat...

high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) with diode array detection (dad) and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (esi/ms/ms) was used to analyze the main components in the methanol extract of fructus aurantii (fa) and the metabolites in rat biological samples after oral administration of the methanol extract of fa. there were 31 constituents identified in the extract of fa in...

variability in morphological traits, phenolic content, and antioxidant activity of 15 populations of iranian ferula species collected from natural habitats in different regions of iran were investigated. total phenolic content (tpc) of fruit extracts varied from 12.77 to 120.72 mg tannic acid per 1g dry weight. total flavonoid of fruits extract varied from 5.45 mg quercetin per 1 g dry weight i...

teucrium polium (labiatae) is a plant that widely grows in iran. some of species of teucrium are used for a considerable range of actions in traditional medicine and t. polium has frequently been used as anticonvulsant. in this study, we investigated the protective effects of t. polium ethanolic aqueous extracts and related fractions on seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole (ptz) and maximal e...

background and objectives: the main aims of this study have been finding out the antibacterial activity and preliminary phytochemical screening of some fern species. methods: the antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts of polypodium interjectum shivas, polystichum woronowii fomin, polystichum aculeatum (l.) roth., dryopteris affinis (lowe) fraser-jenk, athyrium filix-femina (l.) roth, a...

BACKGROUND Flavonoids are plant-based phytochemicals with cardiovascular protective properties. Few studies have comprehensively examined flavonoid classes in relation to cardiovascular disease mortality. OBJECTIVE We examined the association between flavonoid intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among participants in a large, prospective US cohort. DESIGN In 1999, a total of 3...

High flavonoid consumption can improve vascular health. Exploring flavonoid–metabolome relationships in population-based settings is challenging, as: (i) there are numerous confounders of the flavonoid–metabolome relationship; and (ii) the set of dependent metabolite variables are inter-related, highly variable and multidimensional. The Metabolite Fingerprint Score has been developed as a means...
