3 hydroxypuerarin/クズ属

The roots of Pueraria thomsonii and Pueraria lobata are officially recorded in Chinese Pharmacopoeia under the same name Radix Puerariae. However, the aqueous root extract of Pueraria lobata showed more potent antioxidant activity than that of Pueraria thomsonii. A qualitative HPLC method was

Two new isoflavone glucosides, 3'-methoxyneopuerarin A (1) and 3'-methoxyneopuerarin B (2), together with nine known isoflavones including puerarin (3), neopuerarin A (4), neopuerarin B (5), daidzin (6), daidzein (7), 3'-methoxypuerarin (PG-3) (8), puerarin xyloside (9), mirificin (10),

OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress has been associated with many pathological disorders such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and cancer. Supplementation with exogenous antioxidants, including phenolic compounds from plant sources, may help to restore the pro-oxidative/antioxidative balance. To take into

BACKGROUND Traditional Chinese medicine Radix Puerariae, the roots of Pueraria lobata (Wild.) Ohwi., has been widely used for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China for centuries. Isoflavonoids are believed the active components of this herb. OBJECTIVE The present

Isoflavonoids are putatively active components of Pueraria lobata and has been demonstrated prominent neuro-protection effect against cerebrovascular disorders, hypertension or Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the molecular basis for the beneficial effect of Pueraria lobata on nervous systems has

The isoflavones of the roots of Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi (Puerariae Radix) were investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to photodiode array (PDA) and to mass spectroscopy (MS) using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) or electrospray ionization (ESI) in

In order to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of Pueraria lobata roots and its active components, in vitro inhibitory activities against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein
