Preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was successfully used for isolation and separation three flavonoids including bolusanthol B, a novel compound named 5,7,2',6'-tetrahydroxy-6,8-di(gamma,gamma-dimethylallyl) flavanone and tetrapterol I from Patrinia villosa Juss using two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water at the volume ratio of 10:11:11:8 (v/v). A total of 25.4 mg bolusanthol B, 52.5 mg 5,7,2',6'-tetrahydroxy-6,8-di(gamma,gamma-dimethylallyl) flavanone and 50.2 mg tetrapterol I were obtained from 250 mg crude extract with purities of 96.8%, 99.2% and 99.3%, respectively determined by HPLC in one single operation and less than 5 h. The structure identification was performed by UV, IR, MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 2D NMR. Among then, bolusanthol B and tetrapterol I were obtained from the plant of Patrinia genius for the first time, and 5,7,2',6'-tetrahydroxy-6,8-di(gamma,gamma-dimethylallyl) flavanone was a novel prenylated flavonoid and discovered from nature for the first time.

Depression is a common and complex neuropsychiatric disorder affecting people of all ages worldwide, associated with high rates of relapse and disability. Neohesperidin (NEO) is a dietary flavonoid with applications in therapeutics; however, its effects on depressive-like behavior remain unknown. Here, we evaluated the effects of NEO on depressive-like behavior induced by chronic and unpredictable mild stress (CUMS).

Background: The current study aimed to investigate the chemical interaction of naringenin with the possible receptors and enzymes involved in the pathogenesis of cognitive deficits and tested their ADME and toxicity. Furthermore, in-vivo studies have also done to evaluate the effect of naringenin and its nanoparticles on STZ-induced cognitive decline in mice.
Method: Naringenin were evaluated against the active sites of β-secretase 1 (PDB: 3UQU), human insulin-degrading enzyme (PDB: 4RE9), insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (PDB: 1IR3), glycogen synthase kinase-3 β (PDB: 3L1S), phosphoprotein phosphatase 2A (PDB: 3P71), human superoxide dismutase I (PDB: 5YT0), catalase-3 (PDB:3EJ6), and human acetylcholinesterase (PDB: 4EY7) in comparison of rivastigmine using molecular docking studies.

Background: Cancer remains a predominant cause of death worldwide. The advent of effective chemotherapy has enormously decreased the mortality rate and increased the life expectancy of cancer patients. However, the adverse effects allied with chemotherapy contribute to the development of neurotoxicity, anxiety, and depression.

Objective: The effectiveness of Sanhuang Shu'ai decoction (SSD), a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat diarrhea and colitis, especially ulcerative colitis (UC), is not well understood regarding how its chemical components work.
Methods: This research used ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS), network pharmacology, and molecular docking to understand the active substances and potential mechanisms of SSD in treating UC.
Results: UHPLC and MS analyses identified 710 active components in SSD extracts (ZYTQY) and 387 in SSD-containing serum (HYXQ), with 35 active compounds found in both ZYTQY and HYXQ and 67 active compounds from SSDD (SSD compound obtained directly from the database), along with 6 metabolites that may be key components in its function.
