TLDR
A new tetrahydrofuranoid lignan, altissinone and a new acylated flavone C-glucoside, 2''-O-p-hydroxybenzoylorientin were isolated in addition to several known triterpene acids and flavonoids from the ethyl acetate extractives of the leaves of Vitex altissima.About:

Hyperprogesteronemia in response to Vitex fischeri consumption in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii)
Melissa Emery Thompson,Melissa Emery Thompson,Michael L. Wilson,Grace Gobbo,Martin N. Muller,Anne E. Pusey +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined reproductive hormone levels in both male and female chimpanzees during a 6-week period of intense Vitex fischeri consumption and found an abrupt and dramatic increase in urinary progesterone levels of female chimpanzees to levels far exceeding the normal range of variation.

Multitargeted Effects of Vitexin and Isovitexin on Diabetes Mellitus and Its Complications.
Ibrahim Luru Abdulai,Samuel K. Kwofie,Winfred Seth K. Gbewonyo,Daniel Boison,Joshua B. Puplampu,Michael Buenor Adinortey +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic online literature query was executed to collect all relevant articles published up to March 2020 to support the multitargeted mechanistic actions of vitexin and isovitexins in controlling diabetes mellitus and its complications.

Isochaihulactone protects PC12 cell against H2O2 induced oxidative stress and exerts the potent anti-aging effects in D-galactose aging mouse model
Sung-Liang Yu,Shih Bin Lin,Yung Luen Yu,Min Hui Chien,Kuo Jung Su,Ching Ju Lin,Tzong Der Way,Giou Teng Yiang,Chai Ching Lin,De Chuan Chan,Horng-Jyh Harn,Yi Lin Sophia Chen +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that isochaihulactone exerts potent anti-aging effects against D-gal in mice possibly via antioxidative mechanisms and is a potential antioxidant agent.
RESEARCH ARTICLE Hyperprogesteronemia in Response to Vitex fischeri Consumption in Wild Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii)
TL;DR: This work examined reproductive hormone levels in both male and female chimpanzees during a 6‐week period of intense V. fischeri consumption, indicating some of the first data indicating that phytochemicals in the natural diet of a primate can have significant impacts on the endocrine system.

Facile Green Synthesis of SnO 2 NPs Using Vitex altissima (L.) Leaves Extracts: Characterization and Evaluation of Antibacterial and Anticancer Properties
Bhavana S,Vinod Gubbiveeranna,Kusuma Cg,H. Ravikumar,Sumachirayu Ck,H. Nagabhushana,S. Nagaraju +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an eco-friendly approach is introduced for the synthesis of SnO2 nanoparticles using the Vitex altissima L. plant extract, which is shown to have a very simple, inexpensive, non-toxic and environmental manner.

Superoxide Dismutase AN ENZYMIC FUNCTION FOR ERYTHROCUPREIN (HEMOCUPREIN)
Joe M. McCord,Irwin Fridovich +1 more
TL;DR: The demonstration that O2·- can reduce ferricytochrome c and tetranitromethane, and that superoxide dismutase, by competing for the superoxide radicals, can markedly inhibit these reactions, is demonstrated.

Carrageenin-Induced Edema in Hind Paw of the Rat as an Assay for Antiinflammatory Drugs
TL;DR: The potency ratios obtained for aspirin, phenylbutazone and hydrocortisone are fairly close to the ratios of their respective daily doses in the treatment of rheumatic disease.

Carbon-13 NMR studies of flavonoids. III. Naturally occurring flavonoid glycosides and their acylated derivatives
TL;DR: In this article, 13 C NMR spectra for a variety of flavonoid glycosidcs are presented and analyzed, and evidence is presented which demonstrates that 13 C nMR spectroscopy is a valuable technique for distinguishing the sites of methylation, glycosylation and acylation in glycoiides.

[Medicinal Lamiaceae with antioxidant properties, a potential source of rosmarinic acid].
TL;DR: Hydroalcholic extracts from four native medicinal Lamiaceae, Lycopus europaeus L., Melissa officinalis L., Origanum vulgare L. and Prunella vulgaris L. have shown significant antioxidative activities, by free radical scavenger effect on DPPH, compared with those of Rosmarinus officinal is L. extracts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perchloric acid enhances sensitivity and reproducibility of the ferric-xylenol orange peroxide assay.
TL;DR: The ferrous oxidation in xylenol orange (FOX) assay for hydroperoxides suffers from very narrow pH optimum in the range 1.7-1.8, and substitution of perchloric for the sulfuric acid resulted in a lowering of the optimum pH of the assay to 1.1, a decreased dependence of the absorbance of the ferric-xylenl orange complex on acid concentration and decreased sensitivity to added compounds.
