The rhizome of Dryopteris crassirhizoma NAKAI exhibited significant antioxidant activity, as assessed by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity in vitro. Two phloroglucinol derivatives, flavaspidic acids PB (1) and AB (2), were isolated from the rhizome of D.
Solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) of the essential oil from Dryopteris fragrans and its antioxidant activity were investigated. A central composite design combined with response surface methodology was applied to study the influences of extraction time, irradiation power and humidity
Flavonoids are secondary metabolites of plants that often have medical applications. The influences of different sample drying pretreatments on flavonoids and antioxidant activity of ferns have not studies. Dryopteris erythrosora leaves used to analyze flavonoid alterations resulting from drying
The seasonal dynamics of the total flavonoid contents in various parts of Dryopteris erythrosora, a traditional Chinese medicinal fern, and their antioxidant activity were investigated. The total flavonoids content in various parts of D. erythrosora showed an obvious seasonal dynamic change. The
Rhizome of the fern Dryopteris crassirhizoma Nakai is used as an antiviral drug in China. The objective was to characterize physicochemical properties, structural features and antioxidant and immunological activities of D. crassirhizoma polysaccharides. An acidic polysaccharide fraction (DCP-3) was
The profiles and bioactivities of flavonoids extracted from Dryopteris erythrosora were investigated. The total flavonoid content in full plant of D. Erythrosora is about 14.33%. The main flavonoids in D. Erythrosora were identified as gliricidin 7-O-hexoside, apigenin7-O-glucoside, quercetin
Aspidin BB, a phloroglucinol derivative extracted from Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott, has been previously reported to exert high biological activities. In the present study, antibacterial activities and mechanisms of aspidin BB against Staphylococcus aureus were investigated. Aspidin BB exhibited
Dryopteris crassirhizoma (DC) has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including antibacterial, anti‑influenza virus, anti‑tumor, anti‑reverse transcriptase and antioxidant effects. However, the inhibitory effect of DC on allergic inflammatory response remains unclear; therefore, the current
Dryofragin is a phloroglucinol derivative extracted from Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott. In this study, the anticancer activity of dryofragin on human breast cancer MCF-7 cells was investigated. Dryofragin inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cells in a time and concentration-dependent manner. The cell
Dryopteris crassirhizoma (DC) is used as a traditional herbal remedy to treat various diseases, the tapeworm infection, common cold, and cancer in Korea, Japan, and China. DC also has the antioxidant anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities. However, the anti-allergic
