Objective: To investigate the chemical components of Ophioglossum thermale,one of the original species of Chinese medicine "Yizhijian".
Methods: The air-dried whole plant material of Ophioglossum thermale was extracted by thermal reflux with 95%Et OH,then separated and purified by joint utilization of various chromatography techniques including macroporous resin,silica gel,Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and HPLC. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods.
Results: Six flavonoids were isolated and identified as 3-O-methylquercetin( 1),ophioglonol( 2),3-O-methylquercetin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside( 3),3-O-methylquercetin 7-O-β-D-glucopyraosyl-4’-O-β-D-glucopyranoside( 4),kaempferol 3-O-( 6-O-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-( 1 →2)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside( 5) and quercetin 3-O-( 6-O-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl( 1→2)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside( 6).
Conclusion: Compounds 2 ~ 6 are isolated from this plant for the first time,compounds 5 and 6are firstly isolated from Ophioglossaceae family.

The evolutionary conservation of type III polyketide synthases (PKS) in Selaginella has been elucidated, and the critical amino acid residues of the anther-specific chalcone synthase-like enzyme (SmASCL) have been identified. Selaginella species are the oldest known vascular plants and a valuable resource for the study of metabolic evolution in land plants. Polyketides, especially flavonoids and sporopollenin precursors, are essential prerequisites for plant land colonization.

Background: Lifestyle interventions targeting multiple Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factors are effective strategies to prevent cognitive decline. Emerging evidence suggests synergistic effects between various intervention components, including lifestyle modifications, supplements, and pharmacological approaches. The PENSA study, part of the World-Wide FINGERs network, is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial following the Finger 2.

Unquestionable is the fact that the pathological hallmarks of AD are accumulation of amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and mitochondrial dysfunction all leading to neuronal cell death. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in AD.
