TL;DR: From the rhizomes of Swertia speciosa, a traditional medicinal plant from the Himalayan region of Uttaranchal (North India), a new constituent, 6‐hydroxy‐3,5‐dimethoxy‐1‐ was isolated, together with nine known compounds, and exhibited potent antioxidant activities in different biological assays.

TL;DR: A spirostanol glycoside was isolated from the methanolic extract of the fruits of Asparagus officinalis and characterized by chemical and spectral methods including 13 C NMR-DEPT and 2D-hetcor NMR spectra as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: XAN derivatives, especially GEN, may act as novel chemopreventive agents by the quenching mechanism of an excited photosensitizer for DNA damage prevention.

TL;DR: Xanthones are one of the biggest classes of compounds in natural product chemistry and they have gradually risen to great importance because of their medicinal properties as mentioned in this paper, and a number of xanthones have been isolated from natural sources of higher plants, fungi, ferns, and lichens.

TL;DR: The bioactive constituents or plants extracts themselves, in the form of herbal drugs from this genus, have been validated for the treatment of various diseases and these would be used as a new formulation for the novel drugs discovery in pharmaceutical industries.
