anacardic acid/ginkgo

Four inhibitors of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were isolated from Ginkgo biloba and identified as anacardic acids (6-tridecylsalicylic acid, 6-[(8Z)-pentadecenyl]salicylic acid, 6-[(9Z,12Z)-heptadecadienyl]salicylic acid, and 6-[(8Z)-heptadecenyl]salicylic acid) by instrumental analyses.

Anacardic (6-alkylsalicylic) acids and common lipids are efficiently synthesized by immature seeds of Ginkgo biloba. The seeds were incubated with 14C-labeled acetic, malonic and palmitoleic acids, glucose, and other potential precursors. Levels of 14C in common lipids and in anacardic acids, and

A Ginkgo biloba L. fruit extract was prepared and purified. Three groups of guinea pigs were sensitized to the crude extract, anacardic acids 1, and cardanols 2 respectively, using the FCAT method, and the fourth group to urushiol using the epicutaneous route. Each group was tested for reaction to

Ginkgolic acids (GAs; anacardic acids; 6-alkylsalicylic acids) are both unwanted constituents in standardized Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgo) extracts and desirable constituents for pharmacological assays. Thus, for the quality control of Ginkgo extracts, the availability of pure GAs is important. In this

Ginkgo fruit, an unused byproduct of the ginkgo nut industry, contains antimicrobial compounds known as anacardic acids. Two major cultivars of ginkgo, Kyuju (K) and Tokuro (T), were evaluated for their potential as a feed additive for ruminants. In batch culture, we incubated a mixture of hay and
