Microwave extraction and molecular imprinted polymer isolation of bergenin applied to the dendrochronological chemical study of Peltophorum dubium.

This study describes methodologies for extracting and isolating bergenin, a C-glucoside of 4-O-methylgallic acid found in some plants and it presents various in vitro and in vivo biological activities. Bergenin was previously obtained from the Pelthophorum dubim (Fabaceae) roots with a good yield. Conventional chromatographic procedures of the CHCl soluble fraction of the MeOH extract gave 3.

Fluorescent Canthin-6-one Alkaloids from Simaba bahiensis: Isolation, Identification, and Cell-Labeling Properties.

Canthin-6-one alkaloids, which are present in plants of the genus Simaba, are natural compounds that are capable of acting as fluorescent probes. However, the chemical composition and fluorescent properties of most species of this genus have not been analyzed. The objective of this study was to characterize the fluorescent properties of an extract of S.
