We investigated novel antibacterial and synergistic activities of isocryptomerin isolated from Selaginella tamariscina. Isocryptomerin showed potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains including clinical isolates of antibiotic-resistant species such as
Isocryptomerin is a biflavonoid isolated from Selaginella tamariscina used in traditional medicine. In this study, we investigated novel antifungal properties of isocryptomerin. The results indicated that isocryptomerin exerted antifungal activity in an energy-independent manner without remarkable
Amentoflavone was isolated as an inhibitor of phospholipase C gamma 1 (PLC gamma 1) and phosphoinositides (PI)-turnover in PLC gamma 1 overexpressing NIH3T3 fibroblasts (NIH3T3 gamma 1) from Selaginella tamariscina (Selaginellaceae) together with other related biflavonoids, isocryptomerin and
OBJECTIVE
To establish a HPLC-DAD model for the simultaneous determination of two selaginellins (selaginellin and selaginellin B) and four biflavones (amentoflavone, sequoiaflavone, hinokiflavone and isocryptomerin) contained in 10 batches of Selaginella tamariscina and 12 batches of S. pulvinata
This study used the isolation of six constituents from Selaginella tamariscina as an example to demonstrate how to achieve rapid and predictable linear scale-up processes in both normal- and reversed-phase high-performance counter-current chromatography. After systematic optimization of solvent
