Acetogenic anthraquinones: biosynthetic convergence and chemical evidence of enzymatic cooperation in natureSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 499-511 - 2008
Gerhard Bringmann, Andreas Irmer
Phenylanthraquinones belong to the quite rare class of fully unsymmetric biaryls, consisting of two different molecular portions, an anthraquinone part, chrysophanol, and a phenyl part, 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methoxyacetophenone, linked together by phenol-oxidative coupling. The biosynthesis of these two moieties, from eight and four acetate units, respectively, bears some unique features: Chrysophanol i...... hiện toàn bộ

Propolis: chemical diversity and challenges in quality controlSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 1887-1911 - 2022
Deepak Kasote, Vassya Bankova, Alvaro M. Viljoen
Propolis is a resinous natural product produced by honeybees using beeswax and plant exudates. The chemical composition of propolis is highly complex, and varies with region and season. This inherent chemical variability presents several challenges to its standardisation and quality control. The present review was aimed at highlighting marker compounds for different types of propolis, produced by ...... hiện toàn bộ
Multiple-approach studies to assess anthocyanin bioavailabilitySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 899-919 - 2015
Iva Fernandes, Ana Faria, Victor de Freitas, Conceição Calhau, Nuno Mateus
Anthocyanins that are commonly ingested from the diet are largely conjugated, metabolized by colon microbiota and excreted in the urine and feces, yielding in a rather low bioavailability. Nevertheless, there are several health-promoting properties attributed to the ingestion of dietary anthocyanins including cardiovascular and neuroprotective effects, and the prevention of some types of cancer.

Aromatic amino acid aminotransferases in plantsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 131-159 - 2017
Minmin Wang, Hiroshi A. Maeda
Aromatic amino acid aminotransferases (AAA-ATs) catalyze the reversible transamination reactions of proteinogenic and non-proteinogenic aromatic amino acids to corresponding keto acids and vice versa. The products of plant AAA-ATs serve as key precursors of many primary and secondary metabolites that are crucial for both plant and human metabolism and physiology. In most microbes, l-tyrosine (Tyr)...... hiện toàn bộ
Duchesnea genus: a comprehensive review of its phytochemistry, bioactivity, and pharmacologySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-25
Fan, Minxia, Zhu, Mingzhi, Chen, Guilin, Guo, Mingquan
The Duchesnea genus (Rosaceae) is widely distributed throughout the world, and it is comprised of Duchesnea indica (D. indica) and Duchesnea chrysantha (D. chrysantha) species excluding varieties. The whole plant of Duchesnea genus has been used as a folk medicine for almost 2000 years in Asia. Its phytochemicals mainly include phenolic acids and their derivatives, flavono...... hiện toàn bộ
Five Himalayan weeds as potential bioresources for bioactive agents: toxic compounds to valuable scaffoldsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-42 - 2024
Ekta Bala, Varun Aggarwal, Pawan Kumar, Rohit Sharma, Saima, Manickam Selvaraj, Mohammed A. Assiri, Praveen Kumar Verma
Natural products are highly prevalent in Himalayan region clustered in medicinal and aromatic plants including weeds. Toxic weed plants are of serious concerns due to their hazardous effects to humans, environment, and animals. The cause of toxicity of these toxic weed plants is due to the presence of toxic secondary metabolites. Several toxic secondary metabolites have been reported and character...... hiện toàn bộ
