Evaluation of DNA-binding activity of hydroxyanthraquinones occurring in Rubia tinctorum L.

29 Jun 1991 The naturally-occurring anthraquinones (AQs), alizarin (1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone) and lucidin (1,3-dihydroxy-2-hydroxymethylanthraquinone), were incubated with DNA in the presence of S9 mix. The isolated DNA was analysed by 32P-postlabelling for ... Read more...

6-Pentadecylsalicylic acid: an antithrombin component isolated from the stem of Rhus semialata var. roxburghii.

30 May 1991 Bioassay-directed fractionation of the n-hexane extract of the stem of Rhus semialata Murr. var. roxburghii DC (Anacardiaceae) has led to the isolation of 6-pentadecylsalicylic acid. It showed antithrombin activity at 50 micrograms/ml in the ... Read more...

[Analysis of volatile oil in pericarpium Zanthoxyli]

30 May 1991 Essential oils were extracted from the pericarp of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Z. schinifolium. The chemical constituents were analysed by means of GC-MS and 33 compounds were identified. Their contents in the essential oil were also ... Read more...
