balanophora involucrata/phenolic

The bioactive substance investigation of Balanophora involucrata obtained 15 phenolic acids, including 5 new compounds (1-3, 8, 9), which were determined by various spectroscopic data analyses. Most isolated compounds displayed inhibitory effects on α-Glucosidase in vitro. For the potential

Balanophora involucrata HOOK.f. & THOMSON (Balanophoraceae) is a parasite plant often growing on the roots of leguminous plants. The whole herb has been used medicinally for the treatment of irregular menstruation, cough, hemoptysis, traumatic injury and bleeding, dizziness and gastralgia in Yunnan

Balanophora laxiflora HEMSL. (Balanophoraceae), a dioeciously parasitic plant, has been used as a tonic and for sobering up from drunk by the local people of Yunnan province, China. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay on the acetone extract of the fresh female plant of B. laxiflora

The 80% acetone extract of Balanophora polyandra Griff. (Balanophoraceae) was found to exhibit high radical-scavenging activity (SC(50)=14.48 mug/ml) towards 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. Further chemical investigation led the isolation of two new hydrolysable tannins,

Eighteen new and sixteen known acyl glucoses having caffeoyl, coumaroyl, galloyl, and hexahydroxydiphenoyl groups were isolated from a medicinal parasitic plant, Balanophora japonica. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Caffeoyl ellagitannins, which have been

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory activities of caffeoyl glucopyranoses purified from Balanophora japonica Makino on HIV entry and their mechanism. METHODS HIV-1 Env pseudovirus was used to evaluate the anti-HIV-1 activity of those compounds. ELISA and molecular docking were used to study the
