Article Abstract

Saldigones A-C (1, 3, 4), three new isoprenylated flavonoids with diverse flavanone, pterocarpan, and isoflavanone architectures, were characterized from the roots of Salvia digitaloides, together with a known isoprenylated flavanone (2). Notably, it's the first report of isoprenylated flavonoids from Salvia species. The structures of these isolates were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. All of the compounds were evaluated for their activities on Ca3.1 low voltage-gated Ca channel (LVGCC), of which 2 strongly and dose-dependently inhibited Ca3.1 peak current.

In this study, we aimed to determine the chemical constituents of , which led to the isolation and identification of 26 compounds. Three new prenylated dihydrobenzofurans [myrsinoic acids I (), J (), and K ()] and a new flavonoid glycoside, mearnsetin 3---L-arabinopyranoside (), were discovered, and the absolute configuration of the known compound, myrsinoic acid B (), was re-established. To ensure the structural accuracy of these compounds, comprehensive spectroscopic analyses were performed, including one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and circular dichroism spectroscopy.

Flavonoids, plant-derived polyphenolic compounds, have garnered significant attention for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial potential, encompassing antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities. These bioactive molecules exert their effects through multiple mechanisms, including disruption of microbial cell membranes, inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis, suppression of biofilm formation, and interference with key bacterial enzymes. Notable flavonoids such as quercetin, apigenin, and kaempferol exhibit potent activity against bacterial pathogens like Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as fungal pathogens such as Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans.
