Two new isoflavonoids from the rhizomes of Belamcanda chinensis

Composition and antioxidant capacity of low-salt meat emulsion model systems containing edible seaweeds

“…About 25 species of Inula have already been investigated chemically. The major secondary metabolites of the genus are sesquiterpene lactones, mainly eudesmolides [2][3][4][5][6] and other types of sesquiterpene lactones [2,5], monoterpenes [7], diterpenes [8] and flavonoids of diverse chemical structures [9,10]. Several pharmacological activities are attributed to these secondary metabolites, including treatment of asthma, dysentery and inflammatory diseases [11,12].…”

Isolation and purification of isoflavonoids from Rhizoma Belamcandae by two‐dimensional preparative high‐performance liquid chromatography with column switch technology

“…A prerequisite for the development of any phytochemical procedure is the availability of pure, well-characterized reference compounds and a good and robust separation of the major compounds involved within a reasonable time. The conventional methods used for preparative separation and purification of isoflavonoids from plant materials are tedious and usually require multiple chromatography steps, such as gravity-field column chromatography (CC) (Ito et al, 2001;Song et al, 2007) and thinlayer chromatography (TLC). Preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC) is becoming a powerful tool by virtue of its excellent efficiency and high recovery (Goiffon et al, 1991;Lu et al, 1992;Castellar et al, 1993;Shin and Godber, 1994).…”
