TL;DR: In this article, five flavonoids, apigenin 7- O -β- D -glucoside, luteolin, formononetin, and afrormosin have been isolated from B. australis together with the chromanocoumarin trifolirhizin.

TL;DR: Three new compounds found in the flowers of Opuntia lindheimeri were described: the isorhamnetin 3-rutinoside (narcissin), 3-galactoside and 3- rhamnogalactosides, which had not been previously described.

TL;DR: From the leaves and the flowers of Helianthus glaucophyllus andHelianthus microcephalus, three new guaianolides were isolated andStructures of all the compounds were determined by spectral analysis.
Abstract: From the leaves and the flowers of Helianthus glaucophyllus and Helianthus microcephalus, three new guaianolides were isolated. H. microcephalus afforded another two new guaianolides, the highly unsaturated guaianolide, the flavane, the flavone, and three flavonols. Structures of all the compounds were determined by spectral analysis.

TL;DR: The wax on the stems and leaves of Larrea divaricata contains a mixture of even carbon-numbered alkyl esters (C48-C56) consisting of fatty acids (C22-C32) and primary alcohols (C24-C30) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Subtype PIII sieve-element plastids, anthocyanins, spinulose, perforate-tectate pollen grains and the specific seed-coat sculpturing found in two Macarthuria species consolidate their placement within Molluginaceae.
Abstract: Subtype PIII sieve-element plastids, anthocyanins, spinulose, perforate-tectate pollen grains and the specific seed-coat sculpturing found in twoMacarthuria species (M. australis, M. neocambrica) consolidate their placement withinMolluginaceae. The unique form of the sieve-element plastids, i.e. with cubic crystals and starch grains (PIIIc″fs), finds its closest counter-part inLimeum. The multiple intertwinement of different genera of theMolluginaceae with many other centrospermous families led to a consideration of their more central position withinCaryophyllales.

••
TL;DR: The factors underlying the influence of the different classes of polyphenols in enhancing their resistance to oxidation are discussed and support the contention that the partition coefficients of the flavonoids as well as their rates of reaction with the relevant radicals define the antioxidant activities in the lipophilic phase.

TL;DR: Western medicine has not yet used flavonoids therapeutically, even though their safety record is exceptional, and suggestions are made where such possibilities may be worth pursuing.
Abstract: Flavonoids are nearly ubiquitous in plants and are recognized as the pigments responsible for the colors of leaves, especially in autumn. They are rich in seeds, citrus fruits, olive oil, tea, and red wine. They are low molecular weight compounds composed of a three-ring structure with various substitutions. This basic structure is shared by tocopherols (vitamin E). Flavonoids can be subdivided according to the presence of an oxy group at position 4, a double bond between carbon atoms 2 and 3, or a hydroxyl group in position 3 of the C (middle) ring. These characteristics appear to also be required for best activity, especially antioxidant and antiproliferative, in the systems studied. The particular hydroxylation pattern of the B ring of the flavonoles increases their activities, especially in inhibition of mast cell secretion. Certain plants and spices containing flavonoids have been used for thousands of years in traditional Eastern medicine. In spite of the voluminous literature available, however, Western medicine has not yet used flavonoids therapeutically, even though their safety record is exceptional. Suggestions are made where such possibilities may be worth pursuing.

TL;DR: In this article, two complementary colorimetric methods, aluminum chloride method and 2,4-dini trophenylhydrazine method, were used to determine the real content of total flavonoids in propolis.

TL;DR: Several high-quality investigations have examined the relationship between flavonoid structure and antibacterial activity and these are in close agreement, and future studies may allow the development of a pharmacologically acceptable antimicrobial agent or class of agents.
