Five prenylated flavonoids, including one new natural product, were isolated from an ethanol extract of the leaves of Maclura tinctoria (L.) Gaud. The new compound has been characterized as 2',4',4,2''-tetrahydroxy-3'-[3''-methylbut-3''-enyl]chalcone (1). The known compounds were identified as
The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether several phytophenolic ingredients isolated from Maclura tricuspidata (Carr.) Bur fruits inhibit the activity of obesity-related enzymes including pancreatic lipase, α-amylase, β-glucosidase, phosphodiesterase IV, alkaline phosphatase, and
The aim of this study is to purify carbonic anhydrase I and II isoenzymes from human erythrocyte, isolate two natural products osajin (OSJ) and pomiferin (PMF) from Maclura pomifera fruits, and evaluate the in vitro effect of these natural metabolites on these isoenzymes. These natural products may
Purpose: We aimed to study green-synthesized gold nanoparticles (GNPs) from Maclura tricuspidata (MT) root (MTR), stem (MTS), leaf (MTL), and fruit (MTF) extracts and evaluate their anti-metastatic properties in hepatocellular
Glioma is the most common primary intracranial tumour. Recently, growing evidence showed that glioma possesses stem-like cells, which are thought to be chemo- and radio-resistant and believed to contribute to the poor clinical outcomes of these tumours. In this study, we found that stem-like glioma
A number of Thai medicinal plants, recommended as remedies for herpesvirus infection and have been used in primary health care were investigated for their intracellular activities against herpes simplex viruses (HSV). Centella asiatica L., Maclura cochinchinensis Cornor, and Mangifera indica L.
Pomiferin and osajin are prenylated isoflavones from Osage orange fruit that both have potent antioxidant activity in a variety of assays. Pomiferin, in particular, has strong activity against the superoxide anion in a photochemiluminescence (PCL) assay system. In vitro, pomiferin, but not osajin,
Morin (3,5,7,2',4'-pentahydroxyflavone) is a yellow coloured natural flavonoid found in plants of the Moraceae family. This favonoid is easily sources from readily available fruits, vegetables and eve certain beverages. Among the sources that was identified, it is clear that morin is most abundantly
Cudratrixanthone U (CTU) is a prenylated xanthone compound isolated from Maclura tricuspidata Bureau (Moraceae). Prenylated xanthones have been reported to exhibit a variety of biological activities. However, the effects of prenylated xanthone on osteoclast differentiation and function are
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint degenerative disease induced by oxidative stress in chondrocytes. Although induced-heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been found to protect cells against oxygen radical damage, little information is available regarding the use of bioactive compounds from natural
