methylophiopogonanone b/ophiopogon

Methylophiopogonanone B (MO‑B), which belongs to a group of homoisoflavonoids, present in Ophiopogon japonicus, has been identified as an active component with antioxidative and anti‑tumor properties. The present study investigated whether MO‑B may exert protective effects on human umbilical vein

The root of Ophiopogon japonicus has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine and also a functional food ingredient for a long time in China. In the present study, 17 different homoisoflavonoid compounds were identified in the root extract of O. japonicus by HPLC-DAD and LCMS/MS analyses. The

Homoisoflavonoids were identified in Ophiopogon japonicus of two cultivation regions in China: Hang-maidong (grown in Zhejiang province) and Chuan-maidong (grown in Sichuan province). Liquid chromatography (LC), coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS), was developed

Ophiopogonis Radix (Ophiopogon root), which nourishes the yin, has been used in clinical practice to promote fluid secretion and to moisturize the lungs and skin in traditional Chinese and Japanese (Kampo) medicine. To evaluate this traditional medicinal effect, we investigated the anti-chronic
