3-Hydroxydihydrobenzofuran glucosides from Gnaphalium polycaulon. (2/5)

A new 3-hydroxydihydrobenzofuran glucoside, gnaphaliol 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), was isolated from the aerial parts of Gnaphalium polycaulon together with 1-{(2R*,3S*-3-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-2,3-dihydro-2-[1-(hydroxyl methyl)vinyl]-1-benzofuran-5-yl}-ethanone or gnaphaliol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), (Z)-3-hexenyl O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3) and adenosine (4). The absolute configurations at C-2 and C-3 positions of compound 1 were determined to be 2R and 3R. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of their physical and spectroscopic data.  (+info)

Gnaphalium is an outdated generic term in botanical medicine, referring to various plant species of the family Asteraceae, previously used as anti-inflammatory, astringent, and diuretic agents, but has largely been replaced by more specific plant taxa in modern pharmacopeias.

"Gnaphalium" is a term that refers to a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Commonly known as cudweeds, these plants are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with some species found in South America and South Africa. The leaves of many Gnaphalium species are covered with small hairs that give them a soft, woolly texture.

However, "Gnaphalium" is not a term commonly used in modern medical terminology. While some Gnaphalium species have been used in traditional medicine, there is limited scientific evidence to support their effectiveness for specific health conditions. Therefore, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using any herbal remedies or supplements.

Achyrocline is a genus of herbaceous plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, primarily found in South America, which includes species with medicinal uses such as Achyrocline satureioides, known as "macela" or "erva-baleeira," whose parts have been used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments including respiratory and digestive issues.

I apologize for any confusion, but "achyrocline" is not a medical term or condition. It is actually the name of a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae, also known as the daisy family. The most common species is Achyrocline satureioides, which is native to South America and has been used in traditional medicine for various purposes.

Phytochemicals are plant-derived bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, carotenoids, alkaloids, and phenolic acids, which may have beneficial effects on human health by preventing or modulating chronic diseases due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hormonal action properties.

Phytochemicals are compounds that are produced by plants (hence the "phyto-") for their own defense against predators and diseases. They are found in various plant parts such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and teas. Phytochemicals can have beneficial effects on human health as they exhibit protective or disease preventive properties.

These compounds belong to a diverse group with varying structures and chemical properties. Some common classes of phytochemicals include carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, organosulfides, and alkaloids. They have been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immune system-enhancing properties, among others.

It is important to note that while phytochemicals can contribute to overall health and wellness, they should not be considered a cure or treatment for medical conditions. A balanced diet rich in various fruits, vegetables, and whole foods is recommended for optimal health benefits.
