Twelve phenolics, including the three new compounds balanophonin C (1), balanophonin D (2), balanophonin E (3), were isolated from the seeds of Lithocarpus pachylepis. Their structures were elucidated by various spectroscopic techniques (UV, IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR). Compounds 1-9 were evaluated for
We investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of trilobatin, the flavonoid isolated from the leaves of Lithocarpus polystachyus Rehd, as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms. Treatment with trilobatin (0.005-5 μM) dose-dependently inhibited the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mRNA expression
Phytochemical investigation of the leaves and twigs of Lithocarpus litseifolius and Lithocarpus corneus resulted in the isolation of four new triterpenoids (1: -4: ), three triterpenoids (5: -7: ) isolated from a natural source for the first time, and six known compounds (8: -13: ). In addition,
Sweet tea (Lithocarpus polystachyus Rehd.) has been consumed as herbal tea to prevent and manage diabetes for a long time. Recent studies indicate that sweet tea is rich in a variety of bioactive compounds, especially a class of nonclassical flavonoids, dihydrochalcones. In order to provide a
Long-term exposure to isoflurane may induce long-term developmental neurotoxicity and cognitive impairments in the neonatal brains. Trilobatin, a leaf extract from the Chinese traditional sweet tea Lithocarpus polystachyus Rehd, possesses various biological properties including anti-inflammatory and
