Objective: To optimize the extraction technology of total flavonoids and improve the extraction ratio of total flavonoids from Selaginella uncinata.

Methods: Using the content of flavonoids as the index determined by UV spectrophotometry, chose single factor experiment to investigate the total flavonoids content influenced by four factor ethanol concentration, extracting time, extraction times and solvent content on the influence of extraction efficiency. And on the basis, L9 (3(4)) orthogonal experiment was carried out.

Results: The ethanol reflux extraction conditions were as tollows: extracted in 60% ethanol (solid-liquid rate at 1: 35) for 3 times and heated for 1.5 hours per time.

Conclusion: The optimum extraction by the orthogonal design method is rational and feasible, provides experimental basis for improving the content of the total flavonoids and further scientific theoretical basis for industrial production of the total flavonoids from Selaginella uncinata.

The research highlights the importance of exploring endophytic microbiomes of medicinal plants to uncover their potential for secondary metabolite production and their role in the biosynthesis of host-derived compounds. This study was aimed to isolate leaf endophytic bacteria of Rauvolfia serpentina, investigate their antibacterial, antioxidant potentials and detect host-origin compound reserpine using Reverse Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RPHPLC). Untargeted analysis via Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS/MS) was conducted for profiling main phytochemicals in the leaves and to explore potential bioactive compounds in bacterial extracts.

Background: One of the hallmark pathological characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulated in brain, which is mainly derived from the proteolytic processing of amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP). The ubiquitin-proteasome system is able to reduce Aβ generation by ubiquitination and degradation of AβPP. Icariin (ICA), a flavonoid isolated from Maxim.

This study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the acute and subacute safety and phytochemical profile of pomegranate leaves, aligning with the growing interest in sustainable, plant-based therapeutics. The phytochemical composition, the acute and subacute toxicity of a spray-dried hydroethanolic extract from pomegranate leaves (SDE) were investigated using experimental animal models. Utilizing UV-visible spectrophotometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), a diverse array of tannins and flavonoids, totaling 38 compounds, was identified.

Phenolic compounds (PC) were analyzed by UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS in two sorghum genotypes, harvested in two growing seasons (GS) at five distinct days after flowering (DAF) to evaluate how genotype/GS influences the PC synthesis and antioxidant capacity during grain growth. Total phenolic contents were strongly correlated with antioxidant capacity ( > 0.9, < 0.
