The genus Schefflera: A review of traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology

3α-Hydroxylup-20(29)-ene-23,28-dioic Acid as a Phytogenic Chemical Marker for Authenticating Schefflera octophylla (Lour.) Harms Monofloral Honey

“…As shown in Figure S1, a series of chromatography separations, including repeated silica gel column chromatography, repeated Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and preparative HPLC, were conducted on the total triterpenoids extracted from the branches and leaves of P- Sco , resulting in the isolation of nine compounds. After comparing the 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, UV, and mass spectrometry data obtained with the reported literature, eight out of nine compounds were identified as known triterpenoids, including betulonic acid, 3- eip -betulinic acid, betulinic acid 3- O -sulfate, HLEDA, 3α,11α-dihydroxylup-20(29)-ene-23,28-dioic acid, 3- epi -betulinic acid 3- O -β- d -glucopyranoside, HLEDA-3- O -β- d -glucopyranoside, and HLEDA-28- O -α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)- O -β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β- d -glucopyranoside (acankoreoside A), which were all previously identified in the genus Schefflera . , Compound SOT-9 was identified as a new triterpenoid glycoside that was isolated from P- Sco for the first time. SOT-9, observed as a white powder, was calculated as C 48 H 76 O 17 with m / z 947.3422 by HR-ESI-MS and has a specific optical rotation [α] D 25 °C of −18.6° at 1.05 g/mL in MeOH.…”

“…Harms (S. octophylla), also named Schefflera heptaphylla (Lour.) Frodin, 8 belonging to Araliaceae family, is a traditional folk medicine distributed mainly in Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Yunnan provinces in China. 9 Owing to the abundant functional components, mainly including triterpenoids, S. octophylla is widely used to relieve rheumatic pain and sore throat as a Chinese medicine formulation and has been evident by pharmacological studies to possess a variety of health benefits, such as antipyretic, antivirus, and anti-inflammatory.…”

Identification of Active Compounds of Tantrum Leaves (Indigofera tinctoria) as Natural Textile Dyes

“…The auxochrome group has little effect on absorption in the UV region. However, it is very influential on the absorption of -OH, -OR, -NHR so that this group will cause a higher wavelength shift when it binds to the chromophore group (Wang et al, 2021,Vijayan et al, 2018b. These results were seen in the absorption region of the three extracts containing the -NH group.…”

Structural Characterization and Anti-inflammatory Activity of a Galactorhamnan Polysaccharide From Citrus medica L. var. sarcodactylis

“…s arcodactylis is widely used as a precious traditional Chinese medicine, perfume raw materials, decorative bonsai, and different types of processed foods such as preserved fruit “laoxianghuang.” As a traditional Chinese medicinal food, it has the functions of depressed liver, harmonizing stomach, and expelling phlegm ( 2 ), and it was used as an adjuvant herbal medicine to treat multiple chronic diseases like hypertension, tracheitis, respiratory tract infections, angiocardiopathy, and asthma ( 3 ). In recent years, the chemical constituents isolated from the fruits of finger citron include polysaccharides ( 3 , 4 ), neolignans ( 2 ), flavonoids ( 5 ), coumarins ( 6 ), terpenoids ( 7 ), glycosides ( 2 ), and other bioactive substances ( 8 ), which have revealed a wide variety of biological activities, including antidepressants ( 9 ), antibacterial ( 10 ), anticancer ( 11 ), antiaging ( 12 ), antibiofilm ( 13 ), antioxidants ( 14 ), and anti-inflammatory activities ( 15 ).…”
