TL;DR: A sesquiterpene ester, tingitanol, isolated from Ferula tingitana L, was assigned as 1β,3β-dihydroxy-4α,8α-diangeloyloxydauc-5-ene on the basis of spectral, analytical, and X-ray data.

TL;DR: A new flavonol triglycoside which was isolated from the fern Ophioglossum vulgatum L. is shown to be 3-O -methylquercetin 7-O-diglucoside 4′- O -glucosides.

TL;DR: In this article, a neuer Isolierungsgang von allgemeiner Anwendbarkeit fur phenolische Naturstoffe fuhrte zur Auffindung des Genistein-7-rutinosids in Baptisia sphaerocarpa.
Abstract: Ein neuer Isolierungsgang von allgemeiner Anwendbarkeit fur phenolische Naturstoffe fuhrte zur Auffindung des Genistein-7-rutinosids in Baptisia sphaerocarpa. Die Struktur dieses bisher noch nicht beschriebenen Glykosids wurde aus dem Kernresonanzspektrum erkannt. Sie lies sich durch Uberfuhrung des Aglykons in bekannte Methoxy-isoflavone sowie durch gaschromatographische Analyse des silylierten Zuckeranteils bestatigen.

••
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.
