biflavone/フクギ属

Cruzain is the major cysteine protease of Trypanosoma cruzi, the infectious agent responsible for Chagas disease, and cruzain inhibitors display considerable antitrypanosomal activity. In the present work we elucidated crystallographic data of fukugetin, a biflavone isolated from Garcinia

Seeds of Garcinia kola enjoy a folk reputation in Africa as a poison antidote. Their antihepatotoxic properties have been evaluated using four experimental toxins, namely carbon tetrachloride, galactosamine, alpha-amanitin and phalloidin. Kolaviron, a fraction of the defatted ethanol extract, and

The isolation of a new biflavonoid, identified as I-3, II-3, I-5, II-5, I-7, II-7, I-4', II-4'-octahydroxy [I-2', II-2'] biflavone, from the leaves of Garcinia nervosa is reported. The structure was established by chemical and physical means (IR, UV, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR data).
