Characterisation and Quantification of Flavonoids in Iris germanica L. and Iris pallida Lam. Resinoids from Morocco

Abstract

The study shows that I. germanica and I. pallida resinoids are rich in flavonoids and that these two Iris species can be distinguished by simply analysing the polyphenol fraction.

Isoflavones and Other Compounds from the Roots of Iris marsica I. Ricci E Colas. Collected from Majella National Park, Italy

“…[32], I. pallida Lam. [33] and I. susiana L. [59]. From the pharmacological point of view, this compound does not exert as many properties as all the other isoflavones but these are very relevant and peculiar.…”

“…[63], I. kashmiriana Baker [64], I. pallida Lam. [33] and I. florentina L. [65]. Under the pharmacological profile, this compound is able to exert a strong anti-inflammatory action acting on prostaglandin E2 [66] and a real inhibitory effect on cytochrome P450 against the outbreak of tumor forms in different parts of the human body [17,64].…”

“…[67], I. germanica L. [17], I. florentina L. [68] and I. pallida Lam. [33]. In the pharmacological field, this compound is well known to exhibit one only but very important effect which is linked to cancer both as chemopreventive [17] and as drug [69].…”

A metabolomic approach to quality determination and authentication of raw plant material in the fragrance field. Iris rhizomes: A case study

“…Several studies on species belonging to the Iris genus have dealt with their biological activity [10][11][12][13], with the formation of irones and identification of their precursors [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], and have led to the isolation of different classes of secondary metabolites, namely triterpenoids, flavonoids and phenols [25][26][27]. In 1983, Krick [14] showed that iripallidal and iriflorental are the irone precursors ( Fig.…”

Protective Effect of Iris Germanica L. In Β-Amyloid-Induced Animal Model of Alzheimer’s Disease

“…Iris species are rich sources of isoflavonoids. Various isoflavones like irigenin, nigricin, irilone, and irisolidone were identified in I. germanica rhizome (Ibrahim et al, 2017;Roger et al, 2012;Xie et al, 2013). In addition, benzene derivatives have been isolated from the methanolic extract of I. germanica (Asghar et al, 2010).…”
