Twenty-two compounds, predominantly catechin, taxifolin, and proanthocyanidin derivatives, were isolated and characterized from the methanol extract of Entada elephantina tuberous rhizomes. Five taxifolin-based metabolites, elephantinosides A-E (1-5) and one proanthocyanidin, elephantinoside F (19), were previously undescribed. Their structures were elucidated primarily based on 1D- and 2D-NMR and HRESIMS data. The absolute configuration of isolates was determined via NOESY NMR technique and experimental and calculated ECD analyses. None of the tested compounds 3-6, 8-10, 13-17, and 19 exhibited antimicrobial activity against a panel of bacterial and fungal strains.

The study was carried out to assess the effect of the larch wooly adelgid Vallot (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) infestation on its secondary host, the European larch Mill. Morphology and anatomy of adelgid-infested needles, and content of defense phenolic compounds including individual flavonoids isorhamnetin, kaempferol, quercetin, rutin, catechin, epicatechin, apigenin, ampelopsin and taxifolin, were analyzed. The amount of total phenols in needles from adelgid-infested twigs of increased following the development of the population, from the end of April until the end of June.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how the antioxidant capacities of Korean red pine bark are affected by digestion, finding significant changes in phenolic compounds during the process.
- Gastric digestion increased key compounds like procyanidin B1 and catechin, but most were degraded in the intestines, highlighting a focus on protocatechuic acid.
- The results suggest taxifolin as a key phenolic compound contributing to antioxidant effects, indicating potential for RPB as a natural antioxidant in dietary supplements.

Utilization of renewable resources has become imperative, and considerable efforts have been devoted to tackling diverse global sustainability challenges, which contribute to the circular economy. The focus of this work was to optimize the extraction of polyphenolic compounds in bark using microwave-assisted (MAE) and ultrasonically assisted (UAE) extractions and evaluate the biological efficacies of the extracts. Additionally, the residue of the extracted pine bark was subjected to steam gasification to produce hydrogen-rich syngas and activated carbon.
