Acylated flavonol glycosides with anti-complement activity from Persicaria lapathifolia.

During a search for biologically active compounds from traditional medicines, a crude extract of Persicaria lapathifolia was found to have anti-complement activity. Bioassay-guided chromatographic separation of the active constituents led to the isolation of a new acylated kaempferol glycoside (1) and three known acylated quercetin glycosides (2-4). The structures of compounds 1-4 were characterized as kaempferol 3-O-beta-D-(6"-p-hydroxybenzoyl)-galactopyranoside, quercetin 3-O-beta-D-(6"-feruloyl)-galactopyranoside, quercetin 3-O-beta-D-(2"-galloyl)-rhamnopyranoside and quercetin 3-O-beta-D-(2"-galloyl)-glucopyranoside, respectively. Compounds 1-4 showed strong anti-complement activity (IC50 values of 4.3, 9.7, 3.9 and 7.6 x 10(-5) M, respectively) on the classical pathway of the complement. On the other hand, six isolated flavonol glycosides (5-10) did not show any activity on this system.

Acylated flavonoid glycosides from Barringtonia racemosa

Abstract

Using various chromatographic separations, three new acylated flavonoid glycosides, namely barringosides G–I (1–3), were isolated from the water-soluble extract of Barringtonia racemosa branches and leaves. The structure elucidation was performed by extensive analysis of the 1D and 2D NMR and HR-QTOF-MS data. Of the isolated compounds, barringoside I (3) showed moderate inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 cells with an IC₅₀ of 52.48?±?1.04?µM.     

Antioxidant flavonol glycosides from Dorycnium hirsutum

Seven flavonol glycosides were isolated and identified from the aerial parts of Dorycnium hirsutum, together with catechin, D-pinitol, β-sitosterol, and stearic acid. The extracts and the isolated flavonol glycosides were evaluated for their antioxidant activity, using the DPPH test (radical scavenging) and the lipoxygenase assay (lipid peroxidation).

Structures of flavone and flavonol glycosides

Summary Literature information on the structures of O-glycosides of flavones and flavonols has been generalized. Using the methods of combinatorial mathematics, the possibility of a great diversity of the structure of the glycosides has been shown without taking into account their acylation, the dimensions of the oxide rings of the sugars, and the nature of the glycosidic bonds.Pyatigorsk Pharmaceutical Institute.
