Rotenoids, Flavonoids, and Chalcones from the Root Bark of Millettia usaramensis.
2015
Five new compounds, 4-O-geranylisoliquiritigenin (1), 12-dihydrousararotenoid B (2), 12-dihydrousararotenoid C (3), 4'-O-geranyl-7-hydroxyflavanone (4), and 4'-O-geranyl-7-hydroxydihydroflavanol (5), along with 12 known natural products (6-17) were isolated from the CH2Cl2/MeOH (1:1) extract of the root bark of Millettia usaramensis ssp. usaramensis by chromatographic separation. The purified metabolites were identified by NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses, whereas their absolute configurations were established on the basis of chiroptical data and in some cases also by X-ray crystallography. The crude extract was moderately active (IC50 = 11.63 μg/mL) against the ER-negative…
Activity investigation of pinostrobin towards herpes simplex virus-1 as determined by atomic force microscopy
2009
In the present study, the antiviral activity of pinostrobin towards herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) was investigated by MTT assay and atomic force microscopy. Pinostrobin can inhibit HSV-1 replication with 50% effective concentration (EC(50)) of 22.71 ± 1.72 μg/ml. MTT assay showed HSV-1 was significantly inhibited when pretreated with pinostrobin, with the inhibition of 85.69 ± 2.59%. Significant changes in morphology and size of HSV-1 were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in response to pinostrobin treatment. AFM topography and phase images showed that with increasing time, the envelope was shedded and damaged, finally leading to virus inactivation. With increasing concentration, …
In Vitro Antiproliferative properties and flavanone profiles of six grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) cultivars

Flavonoid metabolism and gene expression in developing olive (Olea europaea L.) fruit.
2012
The expression pattern of six genes (phenylalanine-ammonia-lyase, PAL, chalcone synthase, CHS, flavanone 3-hydroxylase, F3H, dihydroflavonol 4-reductase, DFR, anthocyanidin synthase, ANS, UDP-gluco...
Two New Flavonoids fromBonannia graeca: a DFT-NMR Combined Approach in Solving Structures
2007
Two new cyclized C-geranylated flavonoids, the dihydroflavonol bonanniol C (4a) and the flavanone bonannione B (6a), were isolated as minor compounds from the aerial parts of Bonannia graeca (Umbelliferae). Their structures were elucidated by a combined approach of extensive spectroscopic means and quantum mechanical methods. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
Crystal structures of (E)-3-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)chroman-4-one and (E)-3-(3-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-phenylchroman-4-one
2019
The synthesis and crystal structures of (E)-3-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)chroman-4-one, C16H12O3, I, and (E)-3-(3-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-phenylchroman-4-one, C22H16O3, II, are reported. These compounds are of interest with respect to biological activity. Both structures display intermolecular C—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonding, forming layers in the crystal lattice. The crystal structure of compound I is consolidated by π–π interactions. The lipophilicity (logP) was determined as it is one of the parameters qualifying compounds as potential drugs. The logP value for compound I is associated with a larger contribution of C...H interaction in the Hirshfeld surface.
