J Nat Prod. 1998 Dec;61(12):1552-4. | A new prenylated flavonol from the roots of Sophora flavescens.[Pubmed: 9868163] | METHODS AND RESULTS:
A new prenylated flavonol, sophoflavescenol (1), together with five known flavonoids, kurarinol, Kushenol K, kushenol H, trifolirhizin, and kuraidin, were isolated from the roots of Sophora flavescens. The structure of 1 was determined by spectroscopic analysis.
CONCLUSIONS:
Among the five known flavonoids, kurarinol, Kushenol K, and kushenol H showed weak antiviral activity against Herpes simplex virus types I and II. | Bioorg Med Chem. 2007 May 15;15(10):3445-9. | Na+-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitory flavonoids from the roots of Sophora flavescens.[Pubmed: 17374486] | METHODS AND RESULTS: The methanol extract of Sophora flavescens, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine (sophorae radix), showed potent Na(+)-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitory activity.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our search for active components identified many well-known flavonoid antioxidants: kurarinone, sophoraflavanone G, kushenol K, and kushenol N. |
