Seven 3',8''-linked bioflavonoids, including one new compound, (2''S)-2'', 3''-dihydroamentoflavone-4'-methyl ether and six known compounds: (2S)-2,3- dihydroamentoflavone-4'-methyl ether, (2S,2''S)-2,3,2'',3''-tetrahydroamento- flavone-4'-methyl ether, (2S,2''S)-tetrahydroamentoflavone, (2S)-2,3-dihydro- amentoflavone and (2''S)-2'',3''-dihydroamentoflavone (6) and amentoflavone, were isolated from the 60% ethanolic extract of Selaginella uncinata (Desv.) Spring. The structures of these compounds were elucidated mainly by analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data, and their absolute configurations were determined by circular-dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. All the seven compounds showed protective effect against anoxia in the anoxic PC12 cells assay, in which compound 6 displayed particularly potent activity.

Biflavonoids are naturally occurring compounds consisting of two flavonoid moieties that have received substantial attention from researchers. Although many kinds of biflavonoids are typically distributed in Selaginella uncinata with hypoglycemic effect, their anti-α-glucosidase activities are not yet clear. In this study, a ligand fishing strategy for fast screening of α-glucosidase inhibitors from S.

Three water soluble polysaccharides named SUSP-1, SUSP-2 and SUSP-3 from Selaginella uncinata (Desv.) Spring were purified, which contained different contents of galactose, arabinose, mannose, glucose and xylose, and SUSP-3 had large amount of galacturonic acid. Structural identification showed that the backbone structure of SUSP-1 was composed of (1 → 2)-α-D-Manp, (1 → 4)-α-D-Manp and (1 → 4)-β-D-Xylp.

Previous research has shown that structural interference by the cell wall of adaxial epidermal cells imparts blue coloration in leaves of ; the objective of this study was to see whether anthocyanins might additionally contribute to this color, as changes in pH, and conjugation with metals and other flavonoids is also known to result in blue coloration in plants. We compared anatomical and biochemical traits of shade-grown (blue) leaves to high light (red) leaves of the same species and also to a non-blue (green) leaves of a congeneric .

Neutrophils act as both messenger and effector which contributed to the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). Targeting neutrophils could be a novel strategy for prevention and treatment of ALI. Selaginella uncinata is widely used as an antitussive, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory herb to treat various pulmonary diseases, including lung cancer, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis and pneumonia.
