- Abstract:
- ... INTRODUCTION: Asian and American ginsengs are widely used medicinal materials and are being used more and more in health products. The two materials look alike but function differently. Various forms of both types of ginseng are found in the market, causing confusion for consumers in their choice. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the overall quality of commercial Asian and American ginsengs and investigate ...

- Abstract:
- ... INTRODUCTION: Simalikalactone E (SkE) from Quassia amara, has been proved to be a valuable anti‐malarial and anti‐cancer compound. As SkE is very scarce, methods of quantitation are needed in order to optimise its isolation process and to determine pharmacokinetic data. OBJECTIVE: To validate methods using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry for the quantitation of SkE in plant extr ...

- Abstract:
- ... INTRODUCTION: Hesperidin, a flavonoid known to have important pharmacological effects, accumulates particularly in the peels of satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu). Although histochemical studies have suggested that hesperidin forms crystals in some tissues of the Rutaceae and Umbelliferae, there has been no rigorous in situ detection or identification of hesperidin crystals in C. unshiu. OBJECTIVE: ...

- Abstract:
- ... INTRODUCTION: Alphitonia neocaledonica (Rhamnaceae) is an endemic tree of New Caledonia. Although three flavonoids have been identified in the leaves, the secondary metabolite profile of the fruits has never been investigated. OBJECTIVE: Phytochemical investigation of A. neocaledonica fruits and evaluation of their anti‐oxidant, anti‐tyrosinase and cytotoxic activities. METHODS: A hydromethanolic ...

INTRODUCTION: Fagus sylvatica L. is one of the most widely distributed broad‐leaved tree species in central and western Europe, important to the forest sector and an accurate biomarker of climate change. OBJECTIVE: To profile the beech leaf metabolome for future studies in order to investigate deeper into the characterisation of its metabolic response. METHODS: Leaf extracts were analysed using LC ...

- Abstract:
- ... INTRODUCTION: Propolis is a resinous natural substance collected by honeybees from different plant sources. Due to the presence of various phytochemicals, this bee‐product exhibits numerous biological activities, including anti‐bacterial, anti‐viral, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐oxidant, immunostimulating and anti‐tumour effects. As the chemical composition and biological activity of propolis depend on ...
