uliginosin/hypericum

Previous studies have shown that uliginosin B inhibits dopamine reuptake in rat brain. This compound occurs in Hypericum polyanthemum and H. caprifoliatum for which was reported to have antinociceptive effect sensitive to naloxone. The aim of this study was to assess the antinociceptive effect of

OBJECTIVE Investigate the involvement of monoaminergic and glutamatergic systems on the antinociceptive and ataxic effects of uliginosin B, which we have already demonstrated to be a promising molecular scaffold to develop new analgesic drugs. METHODS Uliginosin B was obtained from hexane extract of

In this study we have demonstrated that cyclohexane extract of Hypericum polyanthemum (POL) and its main phloroglucinol derivative uliginosin B (ULI) present antidepressant-like activity in rodent forced swimming test (FST). The involvement of monoaminergic neurotransmission on the

The in vitro inhibitory potential of 50 extracts from various species of the flowering plant genus Hypericum was investigated using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test against Paenibacillus larvae, a spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterial pathogen that causes American foulbrood (AFB),

In this study, a phytochemical and biological investigation on five South Brazilian Hypericum species (Hypericum caprifoliatum, Hypericum carinatum, Hypericum connatum, Hypericum myrianthum, and Hypericum polyanthemum) was carried out. The phloroglucinol-enriched fractions (PEF) of the flowering

A new dimeric acylphloroglucinol derivative, andinin A (1), was isolated from the underground plant parts of Hypericum andinum, along with three known dimeric acylphloroglucinols, uliginosin A (2), uliginosin B (3), and isouliginosin B (4). The structure of 1 was elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR and

Two new benzophenones were isolated from the leaves of Hypericum carinatum. Their structures were established on the basis of 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses and mass spectrometry as cariphenone A (6-benzoyl-5,7-dihydroxy-2,2,8-trimethyl-2H-chromene) (1) and cariphenone B

Three dimeric acylphloroglucinols, austrobrasilol A, austrobrasilol B and isoaustrobrasilol B were isolated from the flowers of Hypericum austrobrasiliense (Hypericaceae, section Trigynobrathys). Their structures were elucidated using mass spectrometry and NMR experiments (1D and 2D), and by

A new dimeric acylphloroglucinol, denudatin A (1), was isolated from the flowering aerials parts of Hypericum denudatum, along with the known phloroglucinols selancin A (2), hyperbrasilol A (3), uliginosin B (4), and isouliginosin B (5). The structure of 1 was elucidated using 1D, 2D NMR, and MS

The aerial parts of Hypericum polyanthemum Klotzsch ex Reichardt (Guttiferae) were successively extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO(2)) under pressures of 90, 120, 150 and 200 bar at different temperatures (40, 50 and 60 degrees C), and compared with the n-hexane extract obtained by

A large number of plants are known to possess strong antitumor properties. Previous studies have verified the antiproliferative activity of the extracts and fractions from six species of Hypericum spp. growing in southern Brazil. In the present study, the in-vitro antiproliferative effects of two

The anti-Trichomonas vaginalis activity of Hypericum polyanthemum extract obtained by supercritical fluid extraction (50°C, 150bar) and the chemical compounds isolated and purified from this extract (benzopyrans HP1, HP2, HP3, and phloroglucinol derivative uliginosin B) were assessed. All samples

Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort) is an herb widely used as supplement for mild to moderate depression. Our prior studies established synergistic anti-inflammatory activity associated with 4 bioactive compounds in a fraction of a H. perforatum ethanol extract. Whether these 4 compounds also

Three known phloroglucinols (japonicine A, uliginosin A and isouliginosin B) and a new phloroglucinol (hyperbrasiol A) have been isolated from a petrol extract of the leaves and flowers of Hypericum brasiliense. Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods (UV, DCI-MS, 1H and 13CNMR,
