Ginkgo biloba L. biflavones were shown to increase cAMP phosphodiesterase activity and to stimulate skin microcirculation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether biflavones were able to stimulate lipolysis in adipocytes. Lipolysis was assayed in fully differentiated 3T3-L1 fat cells in the
Ginkgo biloba studies have focused on the anti-inflammatory effects of the major components, ginkgolide and bilobalide, whereas little is known about their effect on fibroblasts. This study demonstrated the enhancing effects of Ginkgo L. extracts, especially the flavonoid fractions: quercetin,
Ginkgo biloba L., well known as living fossil, have various pharmacological activities. Eighteen compounds were isolated from Ginkgo male flowers including a novel matsutake alcohol glycoside, Ginkgoside A (1), and 17 known compounds-calaliukiuenoside (2), benzylalcohol O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 →
Diabetes mellitus is a widespread metabolic disorder that affects millions of people around the world. The disease is a major burden on both economic and social levels, and there is a need for improved drugs with fewer side effects in the management of the disease. Current methods for isolation of
Bilobetin and 4'''-O-methylamentoflavone were isolated and identified in the needles of Taxus baccata, for the first time in this species. The antifungal activity of biflavones from T. baccata and Ginkgo biloba, namely amentoflavone, 7-O-methylamentoflavone, bilobetin, ginkgetin, sciadopitysin and
Two new fatty alcohols named as (7S,8R,11S)-nonacosanetriol (1) and (10R,12R,15S)-nonacosanetriol (2), along with eight known compounds including ginkgolic acid (3), hydroginkgolic acid (4), sciadopitysin (5), ginkgetin (6), isoginkgetin (7), ginkgolide A (8), ginkgolide B (9) and ginkgolide C (10)
The effect of Ginkgo biloba extract on Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiated fibroblasts was examined by using a neutral red dye uptake assay and a lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Crude extract along with individual components, including flavone-glycosides and biflavones, were applied to cultured
Ginkgo biloba dimeric flavonoids (GBDF) were shown to inhibit cAMP phosphodiesterase activity and to promote vasorelaxation. In particular, amentoflavone exhibited endothelium-dependent relaxation of rat aorta rings via enhanced generation and/or increased biological activity of nitric oxide,
Six flavonoid constituents (quercetin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol, bilobetin, ginkgetin and sciadopitysin) were isolated from Ginkgo biloba leaves and determined by reversed phase HPLC using salvianolic acid B as internal standard. The column employed was Zorbax ODS (150 mm x 4 mm ID, 5 microns). The
This work compares the inhibition of cAMP-phosphodiesterase in rat adipose tissue by a mixture of Ginkgo biloba biflavones with the effect of individual dimeric flavonoids. The degree of enzyme inhibition by G. biloba biflavones was amentoflavone > bilobetin > sequoiaflavone > ginkgetin =
An HPLC method for separation and quantitative determination of biflavones in crude leaf extracts from GINKGO BILOBA L. is described. A system using a Lichrosorb(R)-Diol column and the ternary elution system: hexane-chloroform-tetrahydrofuran, was suitable for separation of sciadopitysin, ginkgetin,
Evidence continues to grow on potential health risks associated with Ginkgo biloba and its constituents. While biflavonoid is a subclass of the flavonoid family in Ginkgo biloba with a plenty of pharmacological properties, the potential toxicological effects of biflavonoids remains largely unknown.
Reduction of lipid absorption has been recognized as an attractive approach for the discovery of new drugs to treat obesity and overweight. The leave extract of Ginkgo biloba has been widely used for the treatment of metabolic diseases (such as hyperlipidemia) in both eastern and western countries,
