background: the genus lomatopodium fisch. & c.a.mey., belongs to apiaceae family and contains one herbaceous species growing wildly in iran. there are only a few papers about the chemical constituents of these plants. here, we focused on the isolation and identification of the main flavonoid glycosides and sterols from the aerial parts of l. staurophyllum, which has not been previously reported...

It is essential to have a thorough knowledge of the bioavailability and metabolism of dietary flavonols to understand their role in disease prevention. Lightly fried onions containing 275 micromol flavonols, principally quercetin-4'-glucoside and quercetin-3,4'-diglucoside, were fed to healthy human volunteers and plasma and urine were collected over a 24 h period. Samples were analysed by HPLC...

Quercetin is an important dietary flavonoid with putative beneficial effects in the prevention of cancer and CVD. The in vivo bioactivity of quercetin depends on its bioavailability, which varies widely between foods. We used an in situ rat intestinal perfusion model to study whether differential small intestinal hydrolysis of the sugar moiety of five naturally occurring quercetin glycosides de...

Quercetin is a flavonoid usually found in fruits and vegetables. Aside from its antioxidative effects, quercetin, like other flavonoids, has a various neuropharmacological actions. Quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside (Rham1), quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (Rutin), and quercetin- 3-(2(G)-rhamnosylrutinoside (Rham2) are mono-, di-, and tri-glycosylated forms of quercetin, respectively. In a previous study, we sh...

Flavonoids distribution in three algerian Bupleureum (Apiaceae) species has been investigated. Quercetin (1), quercetin 3-rutinoside (2) and isorhamnetin 3-rutinoside (3) were found in the endemic species B. plantagineum Desf. Three kaempferol glycosides, kaempferol 3-glucoside (4), kaempferol 3-galactoside (5), kaempferol 3-rutinoside (6) and three quercetin glycosides, quercetin 3-rutinoside ...

Whilst mitotic rat embryonic cardiomyoblast-derived H9c2 cells have been widely used as a model system to study the protective mechanisms associated with flavonoids, they are not fully differentiated cardiac cells. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the cardioprotective and cardiotoxic actions of quercetin and two of its major in vivo metabolites, quercetin 3-glucuronide and 3'-O-m...

Sulfated quercetin derivatives are important authentic standards for metabolic studies. Quercetin-3'-O-sulfate, quercetin-4'-O-sulfate, and quercetin-3-O-sulfate as well as quercetin-di-O-sulfate mixture (quercetin-7,3'-di-O-sulfate, quercetin-7,4'-di-O-sulfate, and quercetin-3',4'-di-O-sulfate) were synthetized by arylsulfotransferase from Desulfitobacterium hafniense. Purified monosulfates an...

Three new glycosides: thotneoside A (quercetin 3-O-(6″-O-phenylacetyl)-β-D-galactopyranoside) (1), thotneoside B (quercetin 3-O-(6″-O-phenylacetyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside) (2) and thotneoside C (3-methyl-2-butenoic acid 1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) (3), together with nine known compounds; quercetin (4), quercetin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (5), quercetin 3-O-(6″-O-galloyl)-β-D-galactopyranoside (6), qu...
