Two new flavonoid glycosides, namely 3'-(2'',4''-dihydroxybenzyloxy)acanthophorin B (1b) and beta,2,3',4,4',6-hexahydroxy-alpha-(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)dihydrochalcone (2) were isolated from the leaves of Psorospermum androsaemifolium together with quercetin (1), acanthophorin B (1a), alpha- (3) and beta-amyrine (3a), vismiaquinone (4), 12-hentriacontanol and hentriacontane. The structures of these secondary metabolites were established using detailed spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with published data. Compounds 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 3a and 4 showed weak antifungal and antibacterial activities.

The decline in intestinal stem cell (ISC) function is a hallmark of aging, contributing to compromised intestinal regeneration and increased incidence of age-associated diseases. Novel therapeutic agents that can rejuvenate aged ISCs are of paramount importance for extending healthspan. Here, we report on the discovery of Chrysosplenosides I and A (CAs 1 & 2), flavonol glycosides from the Xizang medicinal plant Maxim.

Background: Atherosclerosis serves as the fundamental pathology for a variety of cardiovascular disorders, with its pathogenesis being closely tied to the complex interplay among lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Wogonoside is a natural flavonoid extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis with a variety of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and cardiac function improvement properties. Despite these known effects, the specific role of wogonoside in the context of atherosclerosis remains to be elucidated.
