TL;DR: The chemotaxonomic investigation of Crataegus x macrocarpa, a hybrid of C. laevigata and C. rhipidophylla, presents the qualitative and quantitative composition of its flavonoid pattern in relationship to its parent species for the first time.
Abstract: The chemotaxonomic investigation of Crataegus x macrocarpa, a hybrid of C. laevigata and C. rhipidophylla, presents the qualitative and quantitative composition of its flavonoid pattern in relationship to its parent species for the first time. Six flavonoids were identified as vitexin-2''-O-rhamnoside (1), vitexin (2), isovitexin (3), rutin (4), hyperoside (5), and isoquercitrin (6). Furthermore, two flavonoids were isolated from C. x macrocarpa and identified as a diastereoisomeric mixture of (R)- and (S)-eriodictyol-7-O-beta-D-glucuronide (7) and luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucuronide (8) by means of 1D- and 2D-NMR, MS, and UV experiments. Compounds 7 and 8 were isolated for the first time from Crataegus species. While missing in C. laevigata, their occurrence in C. rhipidophylla additionally emphasizes its chemotaxonomic relationship to C. x macrocarpa.

TL;DR: In Briza media and the South American species, ploidy level is shown to play a large part in flavonoid variation, whereas tetraploids accumulate orientin and iso-orientin, autotetraploidy having apparently upset regulatory genes in the formation of the flavone C -glycosides.

TL;DR: The present study is considered to be the first report on the cytotoxic activities carried out on different selected fractions and pure compounds of A. palaestinum to provide evidences for its strong antitumor activities.
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the in vitro cytotoxic activity of the fractionated extract as well as isolated compounds of Arum palaestinum Boiss. ( A. palaestinum ) (black calla lily), and to identify the volatile components which may be responsible for the potential antitumor activity. Methods A. palaestinum was collected from its natural habitats and subjected to phytochemical analysis for separation of pure compounds. In vitro cytotoxic activity was investigated against four human carcinoma cell lines Hep2, HeLa, HepG2 and MCF7 for the fractionated extract and isolated compounds. While, the diethyl ether fraction was subjected to GC–MS analysis as it exhibited the most potent cytotoxic effect to evaluate the active constituents responsible for the cytotoxic activities. Results Four flavonoid compounds were isolated (luteolin, chrysoeriol, isoorientin, isovitexin) from the diethyl ether and ethyl acetate. The extracts and the pure isolated compounds showed a significant high antiproliferative activity against all investigated cell lines. The GC–MS analysis revealed the separation and identification of 15 compounds representing 95.01% of the extract and belonging to different groups of chemical compounds. Conclusions The present study is considered to be the first report on the cytotoxic activities carried out on different selected fractions and pure compounds of A. palaestinum to provide evidences for its strong antitumor activities. In addition, chrysoeriol and isovitexin compounds were isolated for the first time from the studied taxa.

TL;DR: Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Crotalaria sessiliflora L.Crotalaria species led to the isolation of four flavonoids, whereas compounds1, and4 were reported from this plant for the first time.
Abstract: Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Crotalaria sessiliflora L. led to the isolation of four flavonoids. The structures of these compounds were identified as 2′,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxyisoflavone (1), 2′,4′,7-trihydroxyisoflavone (2), 4′,7-dihydroxyflavone (3), and isovitexin (4) using spectroscopic analysis. Among these, compounds2, and3 have not been reported from.Crotalaria species, whereas compounds1, and4 were reported from this plant for the first time.
