TL;DR: Chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, flavanone 3-hydroxylase, and flavonoid 3′-hydroxyase were expressed in all flowers, suggesting that the lack of anthocyanin in white flowering cultivars cannot be due to any blockage of their expression.
Abstract: In order to provide additional information on the coloration of chrysanthemum flowers, the flavonoid composition and the expression of six structural genes involved in anthocyanin pathway in the ray florets of a pink flowering (cv. H5) and two white flowering (cvs. Keikai and Jinba) Chrysanthemum grandiflorum cultivars were examined. HPLCDAD/ESI-MSn analysis showed that cyanidin 3-O-(6″-O-malonylglucoside) and cyanidin 3-O-(3″,6″-O-dimalonylglucoside) were the two major flavonoids presented in H5, while white flowering cultivars contained flavones instead of anthocyanins. Nine flavone derivatives were detected in the three cultivars, the amount of each flavone varied upon cultivars, and seven of these were identified as luteolin 7-O-arabinosylglucuronide, apigenin 7-O-glucoside, luteolin 7-O-malonylglucoside, apigenin 7-O-malonylglucoside, chrysoeriol 7-O-malonylglucoside, acacetin 7-O-rutinoside and acacetin 7-O-malonylglucoside. The two white flowering cultivars showed similar total flavonoid content, which was about two fold higher than that in H5. A high expression of the genes encoding dihydroflavonol 4-reductase and 3-O-glucosyltransferase was detected only in H5 but not in Keikai or Jinba. Chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, flavanone 3-hydroxylase, and flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase were expressed in all flowers, suggesting that the lack of anthocyanin in white flowering cultivars cannot be due to any blockage of their expression.

TL;DR: The new 3-desoxyanthocyanidins 6,7,3'-trihydroxy-5,4'-dimethoxy-flavylium and 6, 7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy- 5-methoxy -flavolium and the known Carajurin were isolated by bioguided fractionation from the leaves of Arrabidaea chica, with transcription factor NF-kappaB as target.

TL;DR: Compound 12, a methyl ester of scopadulcic acid B, showed the most potent activity, among the 30 compounds tested, and was elucidated to be 6 beta-benzoyl-12-methyl-13-oxo-9(12)a,9( 12)b-dihomo-18-podocarpanol on the basis of spectral data.
Abstract: A new tetracyclic diterpenoid, scopadulciol [3], together with 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone, glutinol, and acacetin, was isolated from the 70% EtOH extract of Scoparia dulcis collected in Taiwan. Its structure was elucidated to be 6 beta-benzoyl-12-methyl-13-oxo-9(12)a,9(12)b-dihomo-18-podocarpanol on the basis of spectral data. It mildly inhibited hog gastric H+, K(+)-ATPase. Examination of the inhibitory activities of derivatives of scopadulcic acid B [2], including 3, revealed that methylation of the carboxyl group and introduction of an acetyl group or oxime at C-13 or C-18 markedly enhanced the inhibitory activity, while debenzoylation reduced the activity. Among the 30 compounds tested, compound 12, a methyl ester of scopadulcic acid B [2], showed the most potent activity.

TL;DR: The data suggests that CYP1 family enzymes enhance the antiproliferative activity of dietary flavonoids in breast cancer cells, through bioconversion to more active products.

TL;DR: The effective flavonoids contributing to antioxidant activity were DGPP and apigenin 8-C-neohesperidoside, which could be extracted in high amounts, by hot water at 90°C, from immature kumquat peel.
