A tropolone (2) and an acorane sesquiterpene (3), along with twenty previously known compounds were isolated from the heartwood of Pterocarpus santalinus. The structure of the isolated compounds was elucidated via 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and HRESIMS analysis. The absolute configuration of 3 was determined by comparison of the experimental and calculated ECD data. All compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects against nitric oxide production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages.

In recent years, with the continuous deepening of the theory of Wu Yun Liu Qi, the application of Zitan in Shenping Decoction and Shengming Decoction has gradually become widespread. Because Zitan is an imported herbal medicine, it is not commonly used in modern medicine and known as an unusual medicinal material. The unclear original plants may affect the clinical application of this medicine.

Organic and Medicinal Chemistry Division, CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (IICB), 4, Raja SC Mullick Road, Jadavpur, Kolkata-700032, India; Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad- 201002, India. Electronic address:

The leaves of Pterocarpus santalinus have been identified as a good source of health-beneficial flavonoids through the amalgamation of untargeted metabolomics using UHPLC-ESI-MS leading to the identification of flavone-glycosides bearing isorhamnetin and quercetin skeletons. To unveil the optimum ultrasonication extraction conditions required for the comprehensive extraction of major flavone-glycosides, isorhamnetin-3-O-β-d-(2-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)glucopyranoside and isorhamnetin-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, the response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken design was adopted. The influence of input extraction parameters extraction time (X): 15-45 min, temperature (X): 40-60 °C and biomass-solvent ratio (X): 60-100 on the extractive yield and comprehensive flavonoid content resulted in the optimal conditions as 19.

This study modeled the habitat distribution of , a valuable rosewood species, across China under current and future climate scenarios (SSPs126, SSPs245, and SSPs585) using MaxEnt. Our findings reveal that the current suitable habitat, spanning approximately 409,600 km, is primarily located in the central and southern parts of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Yunnan, as well as in the Hainan provinces, along with the coastal regions of Taiwan, and the Sichuan-Chongqing border. The habitat's distribution is significantly influenced by climatic factors such as temperature seasonality (bio4), mean temperature of the wettest quarter (bio8), annual mean temperature (bio1), and annual precipitation (bio12), while terrain and soil factors play a lesser role.
