TLDR
Two new flavanone glucosides were isolated from the branches and leaves of Viscum coloratum NAKAI (Loranthaceae) and showed potent albeit varied degrees of antioxidative activities and the structure-activity relationship is discussed.
Abstract
Two new flavanone glucosides, (2S)-homoeriodictyol 7,4′-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4) and (2R)-eriodictyol 7,4′-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5) were isolated from the branches and leaves of Viscum coloratum (KOMAR) NAKAI (Loranthaceae), along with three known flavanone glucosides: (2S)-homoeriodictyol 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), (2S)-eriodictyol 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), and (2S)-naringenin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3). The structures of these compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic methods. The antioxidant activities of these isolated compounds were evaluated by colorimetric methods based on their scavenging effects on hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radicals, respectively. All the compounds showed potent albeit varied degrees of antioxidative activities and the structure–activity relationship is discussed.

Flavonoids and their glycosides, including anthocyanins

TL;DR: This review describes more than 600 new examples of naturally occurring flavonoids found either as aglycones or glycosides, comprising flavones, flavonols, chalcones, dihydrochalcones and anthocyanidins.

The anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidant effect of eriodictyol on UV-induced apoptosis in keratinocytes.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that eriodictyol can be used to protect keratinocytes from UV-induced damage, implying the presence of a complex structure-activity relationship (SAR) in the differential apoptosis-modulating activities of various flavonoids.

Design, synthesis and inhibitory activities of naringenin derivatives on human colon cancer cells.

TL;DR: This result demonstrates the rationale for the different inhibitory activities of the naringenin derivatives and could be used for designing cancer therapeutic or preventive flavanone-derived agents.

Eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside, a novel Nrf2 activator, confers protection against cisplatin-induced toxicity

TL;DR: The presence of eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside as a novel nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activator using a high-throughput cellular screening method demonstrated the feasibility of using natural compounds targeting Nrf2 as a therapeutic approach to subvert the side effects of cisplatin in normal cells.

Superoxide dismutase: Improved assays and an assay applicable to acrylamide gels☆

TL;DR: The staining procedure for localizing superoxide dismutase on polyacrylamide electrophoretograms has been applied to extracts obtained from a variety of sources and could thus be assayed either in crude extracts or in purified protein fractions.

Structure−Activity Relationship and Classification of Flavonoids as Inhibitors of Xanthine Oxidase and Superoxide Scavengers

TL;DR: The structure-activity relationship of flavonoids as inhibitors of xanthine oxidase and as scavengers of the superoxide radical, produced by the action of the enzyme xanthines oxidase, was investigated and showed slightly higher inhibitory activity than flavonols.

Circular dichroism, optical rotatory dispersion and absolute configuration of flavanones, 3-hydroxyflavanones and their glycosides : Determination of aglycone chirality in flavanone glycosides☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the 2 S configuration and 3-hydroxy-flavanones of 2 R, 3 R configuration, having equatorial 2-aryl substituents in the former or diequatorial 2,3-substituents of the latter, exhibit a positive Cotton effect due to the n → π * transition (∼ 330 nm) and a negative Cotton effect in the n α π ∆ * region(∼ 280-290 nm).

Antioxidant chalcone glycosides and flavanones from Maclura (Chlorophora) tinctoria.

TL;DR: Four chalcone glycosides, including three new natural products, and three flavanones were isolated from the methanol extract of stem bark of Maclura tinctoria and the results showed that compound 3 was the most active in both antioxidant assays.
