The xanthones in the ethyl acetate extract of Comastoma pedunlulatum were investigated. The chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques were used to isolate and identify the constituents. Nine xanthones were isolated from the active parts of the ethyl acetate portion of the 70% ethanolic extract of C. Pedunlulatum, which possess the protective activity against hepatocyte damage caused by DL-GalN, and identified as 1,8-dihydroxy-2,6-dimethoxyxanthone (1), 8-hydroxy-1,2,6-trimethoxyxanthone (2), 1,6,8-trihydroxy-2-methoxyxanthone (3), 1,8-dihydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyxanthone (4), 1-hydroxy-3,5,8-trimethoxyxanthone (5), 1 -hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyxanthone (6), 1,2,6,8-tetrahydroxyxanthone (7), 1,3,7-trihydroxy4- methoxyxanthone (8), 6,8-dihydroxy-1, 2-dimethoxyxanthone (9). Among them, compounds 6-9 were isolated from the genus Comastoma for the fist time.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic form of inflammatory bowel disease, which current treatments often show limited effectiveness. Ferroptosis, a newly recognized form of programmed cell death has been implicated in UC pathogenesis, suggesting that it may be viable therapeutic target. Tetrastigma hemsleyanum (TH) has shown potential anti-UC effects, though it is unclear whether its therapeutic benefits are mediated by ferroptosis.

The phytochemical profile of various plant species reveals that some compounds possess notable antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. In this study we investigated for the first time, the antioxidant activity (FRAP, DPPH and TAC), total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents of Delile ex Godr flowers extracts (-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol) as well as their antimicrobial activity. The results obtained showed that the methanol extract contained the highest content of total phenolics (346.

is traditionally known for its medicinal properties. Objectives: Here, we investigated the effects of crude extract (CE) and ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) obtained from leaves on the ascitic (EA) and solid (ES) forms of Ehrlich tumors. : Induced and uninduced BALB/c mice were treated intramuscularly, for 7 or 14 days, with saline solution or CE and EAF, both at a 10% concentration, based on in vitro cytotoxicity assessment.
