TLDR
The flavonoid aglycones were studied in the herbs of the following taxons of the Polygonum L. by means of the RP-HPLC method and the content of taxifolin, quercetin, quERCetin-3-methyl ether, kaempferol, myritcet in, luteolin, isorhamnetin and rhamnetsin were determined.
Abstract
The flavonoid aglycones were studied in the herbs of the following taxons of the Polygonum L. genus: P. hydropiper L, P. bistorta L., P. aviculare L., P. persicaria L., P. lapathifolium ssp. tomentosum (Schrank) Dans, P. lapathifolium ssp. nodosum (Pers.) Dans, P. amphibium L., P. mite Schrank, P. conolvulus L. (Bilderdykia convolvulus L.) by means of the RP-HPLC method. The content of taxifolin, quercetin, quercetin-3-methyl ether, kaempferol, myritcetin, luteolin, isorhamnetin and rhamnetin were determined.

Simultaneous quantification and peroxynitrite-scavenging activities of flavonoids in Polygonum aviculare L. herb

TL;DR: Results suggest that folkloric medicinal uses of P. aviculare are mainly attributed to flavonoids, such as particularly highly contained myricetin, myricitrin, and desmanthin-1, which are known for treating gastroduodenal ulcer, hypertension, diarrhea, hemorrhage, and hemorrhoids.

Determination of the volatile fraction of Polygonum bistorta L. at different growing stages and evaluation of its antimicrobial activity against two major honeybee (Apis mellifera) pathogens.

TL;DR: The composition of the volatile fraction of Polygonum bistorta L. (also known asbistort or snakeroot) was investigated and several classes of compounds were found with a predominance of alcohols in the vegetative phase, terpenes and linear‐chained saturated hydrocarbons in the flowering phase, while saturated aliphatic acids and their methyl esters were predominant in fruiting phase.
