After derivatization into C1-hydroxyl form compounds (6-10) respectively, the absolute structures of 1-5 were clearly determined by analyzing the hydrolyzed components from 6-10. Compounds 2 and 3 were confirmed to be a pair of epimers with different stereochemistry at C-2, and so were 4 and 5.

Multidrug resistance has been an obstacle to the success of cancer chemotherapy. The present study investigated the reversal effect of Y6, a new compound obtained by chemically modifying the structure of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) extracted from green tea.

Cell viability, ribonucleotides (RNs) and deoxyribonucleotides (dRNs) levels, cell cycle distribution, and expression of thymidylate synthase (TS) and ribonucleotide reductase (RR) proteins were measured with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) method, flow cytometry and Western blot analysis, respectively. Our standardized PHA extract showed toxicity to HepG2 cells at high concentrations after 72 h exposure and induced G2/M cell cycle arrest.

The ideal therapeutic agent for treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) should have not only potent anti-inflammatory effect but also favorable biological properties to restore cartilage function. Gallic acid (GA) and its derivatives are anti-inflammatory agents reported to have an effect on OA (Singh et al., 2003) [1].

Methods: The essential oil from the rhizome of Curcuma aromatica was extrated by steam distillation and analysed by GC-MS.
Results: 50 chemical constituents accounting for 93.
Objective: To analyze the compositions of essential oil from Mahonia duclouxiana.
Methods: The essential oil was extracted by steam distillation, its chemical components were analyzed by GC-MS, and principal component was confirmed by GC.
Results: 80 peaks were detected and 41 components have been identified, which made up more than 90% of total essential oil.
Objective: To study the volatile oil of Murraya exotica.
Methods: The volatile oil of Murraya exotica was extracted by steam-stilling and was identified by GC-MS-DS.
Results: More than 90 compounds were separated, and 59 compounds were identified, accounting for 93.
To study the chemical constituents of the traditional Chinese herb Baeckea Frutescens L., a new flavonol glycoside, named 6, 8-dimethylkaempferol-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside (1), together with seven known compounds: quercetin (2), quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside (3), myricetin (4), myricetin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside (5), gallic acid (6), ursolic acid (7) and 1,3-dihydroxy-2-(2'-methoxylpropionyl)-5-methoxy-6-methylbenzene (8) were isolated by using silica gel column chromatography, polyamide column chromatography and recrytallization. Their structures were identified on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis.
