The Annonaceous plants are well known as folk medicines for the treatment of septic infections, coughing, hepatomegaly, hepatospleenomegaly, diarrhea and cancers. In the last two decades, eighteen of the Formosan Annonaceous plants (Annona cherimola, A. glabra, A. montana A. muricata, A. reticulata, A. squamosa, A. artemoya (A. cherimola x squamosa), A. purpurea, Artabotrys hexaptalus, A. uncinatus, Cananga odorata, Fissistigma glaucescens, F. oldhamii, Goniothalamus amuyon, Polyalthia longifolia, P. longifolia” Pendula”, Rollinia mucosa, and Uvaria rufa) and one plant collected from Mainland China, F. balansae, have been studied. The chemical constituents were isolated and screened for their biological effects (cardiovascular, cytotoxic and other pharmacological activities). Some of the compounds are potentially useful for the further development of clinical drugs.

Progressing stroke is a devastating condition, but neither a good nor a safe predictor has been determined in previous studies. Elevated levels of excitatory amino acid (glutamate) and inhibitory amino acid (glycine) have been detected in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or brain tissue after acute ischemic stroke by microdialysis studies in humans. However which amino acid is increased in plasma and the duration of elevation after acute ischemic stroke is still unclear in spite of the fact that there is a positive correlation of glutamate concentrations between CSF and plasma in progressing strokes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate these amino acids in plasma could predict acute ischemic stroke or progression of ischemic strokes. The study included 22 ischemic stroke patients admitted within 24 hours of acute ischemic stroke onset. The plasma concentrations of glutamate and glycine were determined by HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography), Progression was defined as when the NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) rose by three or more points within 48 hours after acute ischemic stroke. The infarction area was calculated from brain CT (brain computerized tomography) or brain MRI (magnetic resonance image) when the infarct was not visible on brain CT. Our study found a rapid elevation of glycine but not glutamate in plasma during stroke progression. Significantly lower Aue (area under plasma concentration –time curve) levels of glutamate and glycine during progression was also found in large vessel infarction including middle cerebral artery occlusion or internal carotid artery occlusion. This indicates that plasma glycine may be a good and non-invasive predictor for progressing stroke. Low Ave of plasma glutamate and glycine in progressing stroke may indicate a large vessel infarct and act as a poor prognostic factor in acute ischemic stroke.

This article describes the antioxidative activity of fourteen phenolics isolated from S. baicalensis Georgi (Labiatae). Flavanone glycosides possessing a 3,3’ ,4’ – trihydroxy group displayed the strongest antioxidative activity. Acteoside (17) with two ortho diphenolic moieties showed the strongest radical scavenging activity (IC50 = 18.3IlM).

Six biologically active flavonoids were isolated from the fruit peels of Citrus deliciosa. Analysis off their spectral data (UV, MS, 1H, 13C and 2D NMR experiments) confirmed their structures as four polymethoxyflavones (5-0-demethylnobiletin 1; tangeritin 2; nobiletin 3 and 5,7,8,3’,4’-pentamethoxyflavone 4) as well as two flavanone glycosides (hesperetin-7-0-glucoside 5 and hesperidin 6). The IH NMR assignment of3 and the isolation of 5 from Rutaceae is reported for the first time. The isolated flavonoids displayed antibacterial activities against a series of G +ve and G –ve bacteria. The chemotaxonomic value of the present findings has been verified, and some of the isolated flavonoids may provide good markers for chemotaxonomical studies of Citrus species.

Many beneficial effects of limonoids have reported in the literature. This paper reviews the range of limonoids that are found in nature and summarizes known beneficial effects and other relevant biochemical effects. The chemical structure and physical chemical properties (with SAR analysis) of the limonoids and a number of known P-glycoprotein substrates are also provided. The limonoids selected lie within the 3D (MW, Clogp, Hb) parameter-frame-setting of known I P-glycoprotein substrates so could potentially be substrates themselves. Based on phytochemical and SAR analyses of available literature data, it is suggested that limonoids found in citrus fruits and other Chinese herbs, when consumed in moderate amount are beneficial to health and may have preventive effect on carcinogenesis. However, due to potential interactions of limonoids with a wide range of drugs via P-glycoprotein and other drugmeetabolizing enzyme systems, it is advisable not to take citrus juices with drugs simultaneously.
