Twelve flavonoids were isolated from Allium macrostemon leaves. Five compounds were identified as kaempferol 3,7-di -O-glucoside (1), kaempferol 3,4′-di- O-glucoside (2), quercetin 3- O-glucoside (3), kaempferol 3- O-glucoside (4) and isorhamnetin 3- O-glucoside (5) by UV spectra, LC-MS, acid hydrolysis and HPLC comparisons with authentic standards. Other flavonoids were characterized as kaempferol glycosides (6–8, 10 and 11) and quercetin glycosides (9 and 12). Other compounds, such as steroidal saponins, have been already found from the bulbs of A. macrostemon. However, flavonoids were reported for the first time from the leaves.

Abstract Four kaempferol glycosides and five quercetin glycosides have been isolated from a methanolic extract of Paederia scandens var. mairei leaves and stems, in which in addition four un­known glycosides of kaempferol and quercetin are present in a trace. Nine flavonol glycosides including a new glycoside quercetin 3-O-rutinoside-7-O-xylosylglucoside (paederinin) were identified by PC, HPLC, UV spectral and NMR studies.

Both UV and blue light have been reported to regulate the biosynthesis of flavonoids in tea plants; however, the respective contributions of the corresponding regions of sunlight are unclear. Additionally, different tea cultivars may respond differently to altered light conditions. We investigated the responses of different cultivars (‘Longjing 43’, ‘Zhongming 192’, ‘Wanghai 1’, ‘Jingning 1’ and ‘Zhonghuang 2’) to the shade treatments (black and colored nets) regarding the biosynthesis of flavonoids. For all cultivars, flavonol glycosides showed higher sensitivity to light conditions compared with catechins. The levels of total flavonol glycosides in the young shoots of different tea cultivars decreased with the shade percentages of polyethylene nets increasing from 70% to 95%. Myricetin glycosides and quercetin glycosides were more sensitive to light conditions than kaempferol glycosides. The principal component analysis (PCA) result indicated that shade treatment greatly impacted the profiles of flavonoids in different tea samples based on the cultivar characteristics. UV is the crucial region of sunlight enhancing flavonol glycoside biosynthesis in tea shoots, which is also slight impacted by light quality according to the results of the weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). This study clarified the contributions of different wavelength regions of sunlight in a field experiment, providing a potential direction for slightly bitter and astringent tea cultivar breeding and instructive guidance for practical field production of premium teas based on light regimes.

A new flavonol triglycoside, Quercetin 3- O-α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-[α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-galactopyranoside], was isolated from the leaves of soybean ( Glycine max) cultivar “Clark” and identified by UV spectra, LC-ESI-MS, acid hydrolysis, and 1H and 13C NMR. The compound was found together with 7 known flavonol glycosides, quercetin 3- O-robinobioside, quercetin 3- O-rutinoside, kaempferol 3- O-rhamnosyl-(1→4)-[rhamnosyl-(1→6)-galactoside], kaempferol 3- O-robinobioside, kaempferol 3- O-rutinoside, isorhamnetin 3- O-robinobioside, and isorhamnetin 3- O-rutinoside.

Three flavonol glycosides were isolated from the leaves of Primula sieboldii. They were identified as quercetin 3- O-β-[xylopyranosyl-(1→2)- β-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)- β-glucopyranoside] (1), kaempferol 3- O- β-[glucopyranosyl-(1→2)- β-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)- β-glucopyranoside] (2) and kaempferol 3- O- β-[xylopyranosyl-(1→2)- β-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)- β-glucopyranoside] (3). Their chemical structures were determined by UV, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, LC-MS and acid hydrolysis. Compounds 1 and 3 are found in nature for the first time. They were also detected in the flowers, together with two anthocyanins, malvidin 3,5-di- O-glucoside and a minor petunidin dihexoside.

Recently, there have been efforts to use ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) as a biotechnological tool in greenhouses. Leafy Brassica species are mainly considered for their ability to synthesize glucosinolates and are valued as baby salads. They also have a remarkable concentration of chemically diverse flavonoid glycosides. In this study, the effect of short-term UV-B radiation at the end of the production cycle was investigated without affecting plant growth. The aim was to verify which exposure and adaptation time was suitable and needs to be further investigated to use UV as a biotechnological tool in greenhouse production of Brassica species. It is possible to modify the flavonoid glycoside profile of leafy Brassica species by increasing compounds that appear to have potentially high antioxidant activity. Exemplarily, the present experiment shows that kaempferol glycosides may be preferred over quercetin glycosides in response to UV-B in Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis, for example, whereas other species appear to prefer quercetin glycosides over kaempferol glycosides, such as Brassica oleracea var. sabellica or Brassica carinata. However, the response to short-term UV-B treatment is species-specific and conclusions on exposure and adaptation time cannot be unified but must be drawn separately for each species.

AbstractWild-type Arabidopsis L. leaves exposed to low ultraviolet-B (U V B ) conditions contained predominantly kaempferol glycosides, with low levels of quercetin glycosides. The flavonoid level doubled on treatment with UVB and an increase in the ratio of quercetin: kaempferol was observed. These results suggest that flavonols protect Arabidopsis plants from UVB damage, and indicate that the flavonoid 3’-hydroxylase (F3’H) enzyme, which converts dihydrokaempferol to dihydroquercetin, may play a crucial role. The tt7 mutant lacks this gene and, after treatment with sub-ambient UVB, contained kaempferol glycosides exclusively, to a level of total flavonols similar to that in wild-type Arabidopsis. Total flavonols after enhanced UVB treatment were higher in tt7 than in similarly treated wild-type plants, and only kaempferol glycosides were detected. Despite this high level, tt7 plants were less tolerant of UVB radiation than wild-type plants. These observations suggests that kaempferol is a less effective photoprotectant than quercetin. The chalcone isomerase (CHI) mutant (tt5) surprisingly did not accumulate naringenin chalcone, and this suggests that the mutation may not be restricted to the CHI gene alone. The concentration of hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives did not change with UVB treatment in most varieties indicating that their role in UV photoprotection may be subordinate to that of the flavonoids.

Although the intake of jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC.), an underutilized tropical legume, can potentially decrease the risk of several chronic diseases, not much effort has been directed at profiling the polyphenolics contained therein. Hence, this work aimed to identify and quantify the dominant jack bean polyphenolics, which are believed to have antioxidant and other bioactivities. Four major compounds were detected and identified as kaempferol glycosides with three or four glycoside units. Their structures were established based on UV-visible, 1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS analyses. Specifically, kaempferol 3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl (1→6)- β-d-glucopyranosyl (1→2)-β-d-galactopyranosyl-7-O-[3-O-o-anisoyl]-α-l-rhamnopyranoside was detected for the first time, while the other three compounds have already been described in plants other than jack bean. This new compound was found to have a higher α-glucosidase inhibition activity compared to acarbose.

We isolated the steroidal saponins from the rhizomes of Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce with an efficiency of 4.50% which represents 7 fractions identified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), of which 3 were furostanics and 4 spirostanics. After the acid hydrolysis of the saponins, one aglycone (sapogenine) was identified by TLC. Further, we have determined the physico-chemical and the biological properties of the isolated saponins.

Two flavonoids with an unusual 2′,4′,5′-trisubstituted B-ring (1 and 2), four myricetin derivatives (3-methylmyricetin-3′-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (3), myricetin-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, myricetin-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside, and 3-methylmyricetin), and myricetin were isolated from the roots of Pteroxygonum giraldii Damm. & Diels. Their structures were elucidated using various spectroscopic methods and acid hydrolysis. Compound 1 was a new flavonoid and the NMR spectroscopic data of compounds 2 and 3 are reported for the first time.
