ballotetroside/black horehound

A preliminary survey of the botanical characters of the species Ballota nigra and of its subspecies is reported. Phytochemical investigation of the flowered aerial parts led us to isolation and structural elucidation of one diterpene (13-hydroxyballonigrinolide) and four phenylpropanoid glycosides

Ballota nigra is a European plant known for its neurosedative properties. In this study, the ability of five phenylpropanoids (verbascoside, forsythoside B, arenarioside, ballotetroside, and caffeoyl malic acid) isolated from a hydroalcoholic extract, to bind to benzodiazepine, dopaminergic, and

In addition to the previously isolated phenylpropanoid glycosides verbascoside 1, forsythoside B 2, arenarioside 3 and ballotetroside 4, another four compounds were isolated from generative aerial parts of Ballota nigra: three phenylpropanoid glycosides, alyssonoside 5, lavandulifolioside 6 and

A new phenylpropanoid glycoside, ballotetroside, has been isolated from the aerial parts of Ballota nigra. On the basis of chemical and spectral data, its structure has been established as (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-ethyl[alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alp ha-

From the European plant Ballota nigra L. various polyphenols including phenylpropanoid derivatives were isolated. There is increasing evidence that oxidized low-density lipoproteins (Ox-LDL) might be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and it has been reported that polyphenols inhibit
