The incidence and mortality of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are high, and the number of oral cancers had risen in the world. However, chemotherapy drugs have numerous side effects. There is an urgent requirement to develop a novel drug that can be used to treat oral cancer. Hydroxygenkwanin

Abnormal histone deacetylase (HDAC) expression is closely related to cancer development and progression. Many HDAC inhibitors have been widely used in cancer treatment; however, severe side effects often limit their clinical application. In this study, we attempted to identify natural compounds with

Daphne genkwa, a Chinese medicinal herb, is used frequently in Southeast Asian countries to treat diseases; the flavonoid hydroxygenkwanin (HGK) is extracted from its flower buds. The bioactivity of HGK, particularly as an anti-liver cancer agent, has not been explored. In this study, human

OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents of the flower buds of Daphne genkwa. METHODS The constituents of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate-soluble portions were isolated and purified by means of chromatography, then they were identified by their physico-chemical characteristics and spectral

Four flavonoids including luteolin, apigenin, 3'-hydroxygenkwanin and genkwanin were isolated and purified from Daphne genkwa Sieb. et Zucc. by high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC). Preparative HSCCC with a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water

A selective and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for investigating the pharmacokinetics of umbelliferone, apigenin, genkwanin and hydroxygenkwanin after oral administration of Daphne genkwa extract. Plasma samples were treated by protein

BACKGROUND Genkwa flos (Daphne genkwa Sieb. et Zucc.), a Chinese herbal medicine, has been traditionally used for over two thousand years in China for inflammation related symptoms, including joint pain. To evaluate the antioxidative effects of flavonoid aglycones (FA) isolated from Genkwa flos on

The flower bud of Daphne genkwa (Genkwa Flos) is a commonly used herbal medicine in Asian countries. Luteolin and apigenin are two recognized active flavonoids in Genkwa Flos. The aim of this study was to investigate the intestinal absorption mechanisms of Genkwa Flos flavonoids using in situ

OBJECTIVE To research the chemical constituents from Daphne tangutica. METHODS Column chromatography with silica gel, ODS-C18, Sephadex LH-20 and re-crystallization were employed to isolate and purify the constituents. According to physical and chemical properties and spectral data to identify the

A sensitive UHPLC-MS/MS approach was developed and validated for the quantification of genkwanin, 3'-hydroxygenkwanin, apigenin, luteolin, yuanhuacine and genkwadaphnin in biological samples after oral administration of raw and vinegar-processed Daphne genkwa. Liquiritin and glycyrrhetinic acid were
