Studies on the antihemostatic substances in herbs classified as hemostatics in traditional Chinese medicine. I. On the antihemostatic principles in Sophora japonica L.

Anti-platelet effects of flavonoids and flavonoid-glycosides from Sophora japonica

“…Its buds and fruits have been used as haemostatic agents in traditional Korean medicine, and flavonoids from the buds were reported as haemostatic constituents (Ishida et al, 1989). Flavonol tetraglycosides (Wang et al, 2003), triterpene glycosides (Gorbacheva et al, 1996), phospholipids, alkaloids, amino acids, and polysaccharides (Grishkovets and Gorbacheva, 1995;Mukahamedova and Glushenkova, 1997;Sun et al, 2007) from its seeds, and isoflavones and isoflavone tetraglycosides from its small branches (Min et al, 2006;Tang et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2006) have been isolated.…”

Isolation and identification of antioxidants from Sophora japonica

“…The fruits of Sophora japonica L. (Leguminosae) are commonly used as hemostatics in traditional Chinese medicine, and flavonoids were discovered as hemostatic constituents from the buds of S. japonica [1]. The n-BuOH extract of the pericarps of S. japonica showed antioxidant activity in preliminary DPPH assays.…”

Antioxidant and stabilization activity of a quercetin-containing flavonoid extract obtained from Bulgarian Sophora japonica L.

“…The replacement of synthetic AO with natural AO may have benefits not only for the human health but also for the food systems, since natural AO possess a good solubility in water and/or oil, in different emulsions and food. It is known that dried flowers and buds of Sophora japonica L. are a medicinal herb used in China, Japan and Korea to treat hemorrhoids and hematemesis (Ishida et al 1989). The main components of S. japonica include flavones, tetraglycosides, isoflavones, isoflavone tetraglycosides, triterpene glycosides, phospholipids, alkaloids, amino acids and polysaccharides.…”
