Three anthraquinone analogues (-) were isolated by phytochemical work on EtOAc-soluble ingredients extracted from the roots of . The structures of all isolates were elucidated by NMR, MS and CD experiments, of which (polygodoquinone A) was identified as a new anthraquinone derivative. Specifically, represents an unusual structure composed of a naphthoquinone derivative linked to an anthraquinone via a C-C bond. - exhibited remarkable influenza A virus inhibitory activity with IC values of 11.4, 11.0, and 2.3 μM, respectively, which were better than ribavirin as the positive control.

Nowadays, several processes to enrich desired bioactive compounds in plant extracts have been developed. The objective of the present study was to assess the performance of bovine serum albumin in increasing the extractive yields of anthraquinones and diarylheptanoids from their respective raw plant powder extracts. Aloe emodin, rhein, emodin, and chrysophanol, from , , , and , and curcumin from were analyzed in parent dry extracts, solubilized either with water, ethanol, or hydro-alcoholic mixtures, and in ones treated with aqueous solutions of bovine serum albumin by HPLC with UV/Vis detection.

Three new naphthalene derivatives, strepthalenes A-C (1-3), and the known analogue (S)-DNPA (4), together with six previously reported anthraquinones (5-10), were isolated from the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-4182. Their structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis and quantum chemical calculations.

Primary and metastatic tumors of the nervous system represent a diverse group of neoplasms, each characterized by distinct biological features, prognostic outcomes, and therapeutic approaches. Due to their molecular complexity and heterogeneity, nervous system cancers (NSCs) pose significant clinical challenges. For decades, plants and their natural products with established anticancer properties have played a pivotal role in the treatment of various medical conditions, including cancers.

Hydroxyanthracene derivatives (HADs) are plant substances produced by a variety of plant species, including different , , and species and These plants are often used in food supplements to improve bowel function. However, recently, the European Commission prohibited a number of HADs due to toxicological concerns. These HADs included aloin (aloin A and aloin B), aloe-emodin, emodin, and danthron.
