toralactone/cassia

Cassia obtusifolia L. (Leguminosae) seeds are a well-known medicinal food in East Asia and are used to clear liver heat, sharpen vision, lubricate the intestines, and promote bowel movement. The aims of the present study were to identify the hepatoprotective components of C. obtusifolia seeds by

Toralactone 9-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-d-glucopyranoside (1, cassiaside C(2)), isolated from Cassia obtusifolia L. and showing strong antiallergic activity, was concisely synthesized employing glycosyl trifluoroacetimidates as

Three naphthopyrone glucosides, cassiaside (1), rubrofusarin-6-O-beta-D-gentiobioside (2), and toralactone-9-O-beta-D-gentiobioside (3), were isolated from the BuOH-soluble extract of the seeds of Cassia tora as active constituents, using an in vitro bioassay based on the inhibition of advanced

As a component of our program that pertains to the isolation of antihypertensive agents derived from natural products, we screened the bioactivity of seeds from raw and roasted Cassia tora via angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory assays. We found that both of the MeOH extracts from the raw

Through an estrogenic activity bioassay-guided fractionation of the 70% ethanolic extract of Cassia tora seeds two new phenolic triglucosides, torachrysone 8-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->6)-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside] (1) and toralactone

Thirteen phenolic glycosides including six new compounds were isolated from seeds of Cassia tora (Leguminosae). The structures of the new compounds, rubrofusarin triglucoside (7), nor-rubrofusarin gentiobioside (9), demethylflavasperone gentiobioside (10), torachrysone gentiobioside (11),

A new sodium salt of anthraquinone named sodium emodin-1-O-β-gentiobioside, together with nine known compounds, viz. rubrofusarin-6-O-β-D-gentiobioside, chrysophanol-1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-6)-β-D-glucopyranoside, obtusifolin-2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside,

BACKGROUND Semen Cassiae has been traditionally used as an herbal remedy for liver, eye, and acute inflammatory diseases. Recent pharmacological reports have indicated that Cassiae semen has neuroprotective effects, attributable to its anti-inflammatory actions, in ischemic stroke and Alzheimer's

In recent years, Cassia seed extract has been reported as a neuroprotective agent in various models of neurodegeneration, mainly via an antioxidant mechanism. However, no one has previously reported the effects of Cassia seed extract and its phytochemicals on human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) enzyme

Two new naphthopyrones, cassiasides B2 (1) and C2 (2), were isolated from the seeds (Cassiae Semen) of Cassia obtusifolia L. The structures of the two new compounds 1 and 2 were established as rubrofusarin 6-O-beta-D- glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-O-beta-D-
