Three new prenylated flavanones, (2S)-5,7,2'-trihydroxy-5'-(1''',1'''-dimethylallyl)-8-prenylflavanone (1), (2S)-5,7,2'-trihydroxy-8,3'-diprenylflavanone (2), and (2S)-5,2'-dihydroxy-6'',6''-dimethylchromeno-(7,8:2'',3'')-3'-prenylflavanone (3), and a known chromeno (dimethylpyrano) flavanone, obovatin (4), were isolated from the n-hexane extract of Dalea boliviana roots. The compounds were evaluated in vitro in relation to their inhibitory effect on the tyrosinase activity by using a spectrophotometric method.

Xanthohumol () is a major prenylated flavonoid in hops ( L.) which exhibits a broad spectrum of health-promoting and therapeutic activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects. However, due to its lipophilic nature, it is poorly soluble in water and barely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, which greatly limits its therapeutic potential.

This study aimed to prepare defatted ethanol extract of Abelmoschus esculentus leaves, Morus nigra leaves and Punica granatum peel, to identify the chemical composition of these extracts and to explore their efficacy in counteracting diabetic neuropathy. LC-ESI-MS spectrometry was the hyphenated tool for component identification of these extracts. Behavioral, biochemical, and histopathological investigations were carried out after treatments of diabetic rats.

A focused chemical investigation into the polar fractions of a well-known traditional Chinese medicine called Sang-Bai-Pi (the root bark of Morus alba) yielded a panel of prenylated flavanones. The new compounds were identified as four pairs of enantiomers (1a/1b-4a/4b) featuring the same constitution structure, on the basis of HRMS, NMR and ECD analyses. Several previously reported known racemic co-metabolites were also analyzed and separated by HPLC on chiral columns, and the absolute configurations of pure enantiomers were established via ECD technique for the first time.

The chemical investigation of the methanol root extract of Lam. led to the isolation of a new prenylated flavanone, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3'-(3-methylbuta-1,3-dienyl)-5'-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)flavanone, trivially named maghamesin (), together with nine known compounds, 5-hydroxy-3',4',5',7-tetramethoxy-8-prenylflavanone (), cycloheterophyllin (), cyclomorusin (), isobavachalcone (), -isoferulic acid (), 24-methylenecycloartan-3α-ol (), stigmasterol (), -sitosterol () and -sitosterol-3---D-glucopyranoside (). The structures of the isolates were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses (1D and 2D NMR, ESI-MS) and by comparison with previously reported data.
