amentoflavone/은행나무속

The extraction, isolation and characterization of 29 natural products contained in Ginkgo biloba have been described, which we have now tested for their in-vitro capacity to inhibit the five major human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms in human liver microsomes. Weak or negligible inhibitory activity

Ginkgo biloba L., well known as living fossil, have various pharmacological activities. Eighteen compounds were isolated from Ginkgo male flowers including a novel matsutake alcohol glycoside, Ginkgoside A (1), and 17 known compounds-calaliukiuenoside (2), benzylalcohol O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 →

Bilobetin and 4'''-O-methylamentoflavone were isolated and identified in the needles of Taxus baccata, for the first time in this species. The antifungal activity of biflavones from T. baccata and Ginkgo biloba, namely amentoflavone, 7-O-methylamentoflavone, bilobetin, ginkgetin, sciadopitysin and

The effect of Ginkgo biloba on the activity of CYP2C9, the isoform responsible for S-warfarin clearance, was assessed in 11 healthy volunteers who received single 100-mg doses of flurbiprofen, a probe substrate for CYP2C9. Subjects also received either a standardized G biloba leaf preparation

Ginkgo biloba dimeric flavonoids (GBDF) were shown to inhibit cAMP phosphodiesterase activity and to promote vasorelaxation. In particular, amentoflavone exhibited endothelium-dependent relaxation of rat aorta rings via enhanced generation and/or increased biological activity of nitric oxide,

This work compares the inhibition of cAMP-phosphodiesterase in rat adipose tissue by a mixture of Ginkgo biloba biflavones with the effect of individual dimeric flavonoids. The degree of enzyme inhibition by G. biloba biflavones was amentoflavone > bilobetin > sequoiaflavone > ginkgetin =

Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract has been widely used for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis and cardiovascular disease in both eastern and western countries, but the bioactive constituents and the underlying mechanism of anti-thrombosis have not been fully characterized. The purpose of this study

Evidence continues to grow on potential health risks associated with Ginkgo biloba and its constituents. While biflavonoid is a subclass of the flavonoid family in Ginkgo biloba with a plenty of pharmacological properties, the potential toxicological effects of biflavonoids remains largely unknown.

Ginkgo biloba L., an ancient dioecious gymnosperm, is now cultivated worldwide for landscaping and medical purposes. A novel biflavonoid-amentoflavone 7''-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1)-and four known biflavonoids were isolated and identified from the male flowers of Ginkgo. The
