In an effort to identify natural bioactive compounds, three new flavonoids (1-3) and six known compounds (4-9) were isolated from the stem bark of Bougainvillea spectabilis. The structures of these compounds were accomplished using comprehensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR spectra with references to the literatures, as well as high-resolution mass spectrometric analysis. Their cytotoxicity against KB and HeLa S-3 cell lines was also evaluated.

This study determined the anthocyanin and phenolic profile of Syzygium cumini bioactive compounds, including anthocyanins and other flavonoids, alongside diverse phenolic compounds. The study optimized a green extraction technique (ultrasound-assisted enzymatic extraction (UAEE)) to obtain anthocyanin-rich extract from the fruit pulp of S. cumini using the pectinase enzyme.

Gloriosa L. possesses exceptional ornamental value, with its floral hues exhibiting a wide range of variations. In this study, we employed sophisticated colorimetry, Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and transcriptome sequencing to investigate the phenotypic expression of tepal colors, the composition of carotenoids and anthocyanins, and the differential gene expression in four Gloriosa varieties during their full bloom phase.
