Sevral flavonoids were isolated from the ethanol extract of Carthami flos which has been used in treatment of uterin congestion and also as analgesic and antiinflammatory. They were elucidated as kaempferol, quercetin, 6-hydroxy kaempferol, kaempferol 3-glucoside (Astragalin), quercetin 3-glucoside (isoquercitrin), quercetin 7-glucoside (quercimeritrin), kaempferol 3-rutinoside and quercetin 3-rutinoside (rutin). The structures of the isolated compounds were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods.

Twenty one flavonoids were isolated from ethyl acetate layer of aqueaus EtOH extracts of Artemisia vulgaris and identified as tricin, jaceosidine, eupafolin, diosmetin, chrysoeriol, homoeriodictyol, isorhamnetin, apigenin, eriodictyol, luteolin, luteolin 7-glucoside, kaempferol 3-glucoside, kaempferol 7-glucoside, kaempferol 3-rhamnoside, kaempferol 3-rutinside, quercetin, quercetin 3-glucoside, quercetin 3-galactoside, quercetrin, quercetin 7-glucoside, rutin, and vietexin. The inhibitory activity for all purified flavonoids were examined against lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsome. All examined flavonoids showed considerable antioxidant activity. Among them, $IC_{50}$ value of apigenin, luteolin, isorhamnetin, quercetin, and eriodictyol were showed higher than that of vitamin E used as positive control. And methoxylated flavonoids, tricin, eupafolin, jaceosidine, diosmetin, and isorhamnetin showed considerable antioxidant activity. Each $IC_{50}$ values were shown at 0.9, 1.0, 1.4, 1.0, and $0.7\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by accumulation of amyloid beta ($A{\beta}$) in the brain. In the present study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of four flavonoids such as kaempferol, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, quercetin, and quercetin-3-${\beta}$-D-glucoside against neuronal apoptosis induced by $A{\beta}$ in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. Treatment with $A{\beta}$ decreased cell viability compared to the non-treated normal group. However, treatment with the four flavonoids increased cell viability in SH-SY5Y cells treated with $A{\beta}$. In addition, we measured the expression of apoptosis-related proteins such as Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and cleaved caspase-9. Treatment with the four flavonoids down-regulated Bax and cleaved caspase-9 in $A{\beta}$-treated SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. Overall, the results of the present study demonstrated the neuroprotective effect of flavonoids by anti-apoptotic activity in $A{\beta}$-induced SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. These results suggest that these four flavonoids would be useful therapeutic and prevention agents for AD.

In the previous study, we reported the antioxidative activity of Equisetum arvense extracts. In this study, its inhibitory effect on elastase and components were investigated. Aglycone fractions obtained from the deglycosylation reaction of ethylacetate fraction among the Equisetum arvense extracts, showed 4 bands and 4 peaks in TLC and HPLC experiments, respectively. Four components were identified as luteolin(composition ratio, 19.12%), quercetin(12.87), apigenin(15.81) and kaempferol(52.20). TLC chromatogram of ethylacetate fraction of Equisetum arvense extract revealed 7 bands and HPLC chromatogram showed 8 peaks, which were identified as kaempferol-3,7-O-diglucoside(composition ratio, 15.74%), luteolin-5-O-glucoside(galuteolin, 11.91), apigenin-5-O-glucoside(12.91), kaempferol-3-O-glucoside(astragalin, 27.94), quercetin-glycoside(10.81, structure was not determined), kaempferol-glycoside (12.33, structure was not determined), luteolin(3.72) and apigenin(4.62) in the order of elution time. The inhibitory effect of aglycone fraction on elastase($IC_{50}$, $9.8{\mu}g/mL$) was very high. But ethylacetate fraction(flavonoid glycosides) rarely exhibited the inhibitory activity on elastase. Combined with the previous results of the antioxidative activity of Equisetum arvense extracts, it is concluded that the inhibitory activity on elastase of the aglycone fraction could be applicable to new functional cosmetics for smoothing wrinkles.

The seasonal variations of the major six flavonol glycosides(kaempferol 2,6-dirhamnosyl glucoside, quercetin 3-O-rutinoside, kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside, isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside, quercetin 3-O-coumaroyl glucorhamnoside and kaempferol 3-O-coumaroyl glucorhamnoside) in Ginkgo biloba leaves were investigated. The contents were determined by HPLC on reversed phase $C_{18}$ column. This result showed that the percentage of six flavonol glycosides decreased during the season from 1.57% in May to 0.39% in November. The content of each flavonol glycoside indicated a similar tendency to decrease. However, the contents of rutinosides of kaempferol, quercetin and isorhamnetin fluctuated markedly than those of coumaroyl glucorhamnosides of kaempferol and quercetin and kaempferol 2,6-dirhamnosyl glucoside.

The contents of flavonol glycosides, $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$(1), $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glactoside$ (2), $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-rhamnoside$ (3), $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ (4) and $quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-D-rhamnoside$ (5) in the houseleeks controlled by night-break, day-length control, and temperature during overwintering were determined to be compared with those in wild one. The contents of the flavonol glycosides 1-5 in the houseleeks were decreased roughly with warming during overwintering, and increased with longer light duration under the day-length control experiments. While warming functioned negatively on the production of the flavonol glycosides in the houseleek, longer light irradiation did positively during overwintering.

We have previously reported the isolation of seven hydrolyzable tannins and nine flavonoids from Euphorbia pekinensis Ruprecht. Further investigation about the same plant has led to the isolation of kaempferol, quercetin, kaempferol $3-O-(2'-O-galloyl-{\beta}-_D-glucoside)$, quercetin 3-O-(2'-O-galloylrutinoside), ellagic acid and acetonyl geraniin. These compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.

From the $CHCl_3$ and BuOH soluble fractions of the heartwood of Hemiptelea davidii, eleven compounds have been isolated. On the basis of spectral data, they were identified as ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (1), scopoletin (2), kaempferol (3), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4), 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) ethanol (5), aromadendrin (6), scopolin (7), kaempferol 6-C-glucoside (8), aromadendrin 6-C-glucoside (9), taxifolin 6-C-glucoside (10) and quercetin 6-C-glucoside (11), respectively. Among these compounds, compounds 3, 8, 10, and 11 showed potent DPPH radical scavenging activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 11.9, 14.7, 10.3 and $6.2\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively.

Two flavone glucosides have been isolated from the leaves of Helianthus tuberosus (jerusalem artichoke). Their structures were identified as kaempferol 3-O-glucoside (1) and quercetin 7-O-glucoside (2) by spectroscopic analysis and confirmed by comparison with reported data. These flavonoids were isolated for the first time from this plant part.
