Abstract Introduction Plants have been considered a promising source for discovering new compounds with pharmacological activities. The Fabaceae family comprises large variety of species that produce substances diverse therapeutic potential, including anti‐inflammatory activity. limitations current anti‐inflammatories generate the need to research structures higher efficacy as well develop methods screening multiple samples, reliably and ethically, assess such properties. Objective Validate...
There is some evidence in the literature of photocyclization reaction Tagitinin C (1) to F (2). Compound 2 has high pharmacological potential, but it not easy obtain, while compound 1 easily obtained from a widespread plant, Tithonia diversifolia. Among different conditions monitored, one was found that allowed cyclization into <15 min photo-dependent reaction. Scaling-up pure demonstrated 100% yield, and isolation UV-irradiated extract eight-fold higher than quantity isolated...
Jungia floribunda Less. is a shrub belonging to the Asteraceae. The infusion of its leaves has been used, in folk medicine several South American countries, as anti-inflammatory and hypoglycaemic agent. In present study, from J. was obtained chemical composition determined by UHPLC-MS associated with molecular network allowing annotation flavonoids, sesquiterpene lactones, coumarins, chlorogenic acid derivatives. Besides, vitro elastase activity assay carried out infusion. As observed,...
