Phenolics in food and nutraceuticals
Fereidoon Shahidi,Marian Naczk +1 more
TL;DR: Phenolics in Food and Nutraceuticals as mentioned in this paper is the first single-source compendium of essential information concerning food phenolics, which reports the classification and nomenclature of phenolics and their occurrence in food and nutraceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coumarins and caterpillars: a case for coevolution.
TL;DR: Experimental work on associations between various insects and plants containing furanocoumarins and related compounds provides a case study with either direct or circumstantial evidence for each part of the coevolutionary process.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the antimicrobial activity of selected naturally occurring and synthetic coumarins.
TL;DR: When tested in combination with oxacillin, 8-iodo-5,7-dihydroxycoumarin had a similar activity to vancomycin, which is the current drug of choice for the treatment of MRSA infections.

Effect of furanocoumarin derivatives in grapefruit juice on the uptake of vinblastine by Caco-2 cells and on the activity of cytochrome P450 3A4
Ayako Ohnishi,Hirotami Matsuo,Shiho Yamada,Hitomi Takanaga,Satoshi Morimoto,Yukihiro Shoyama,Hisakazu Ohtani,Yasufumi Sawada +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that the major inhibitor of efflux transport of VBL is different from that of CYP3A4, and DHBG was identified as a candidate for inhibitors of V BL transport, together with other furanocoumarins.

The Chemical Defenses of Plants to Pathogens and Herbivores
TL;DR: Populations of plants are subject to attack by pathogens and herbivores at all stages of their life cycles, and epidemics or episodes of intensive herbivory may lead directly to the local extinction of a plant species, or may weaken plants and make them vulnerable to subsequent pressures.

Phenylalanine ammonia lyase
Edith L. Camm,G.H.Neil Towers +1 more
TL;DR: The literature concerning the physiology and biochemistry of the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) (E.C. 4.1.1) from different organisms has been reviewed as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance in Barley to the Greenbug, Schizaphis graminum. 1. Toxicity of Phenolic and Flavonoid Compounds and Related Substances
TL;DR: It is likely that at least part of the resistance to greenbugs of some barley varieties is attributable to the presence of these phenolic and flavonoid substances in quantities sufficient to retard the insect's growth and reproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkaloids of the rutaceae: their distribution and systematic significance☆
TL;DR: It is shown that, from the alkaloid data available, Engler's classification of the major sub-families Rutoideae and Toddalioideae is untenable and an hypothesis for the phylogeny of the Rutales, based on the distribution of alkaloids and other secondary metabolites, is proposed.
