High impact information on Purpuroxanthin

For identification of alizarin, purpurin and xanthopurpurin, occurring together in the madder plant, an isocratic method was used with a methanol-0.2 M acetate buffer (pH 4.3) (75:25) as the mobile phase [1].
In contrast, 2-methyl-1,3,6-trihydroxyl-9,10-anthraquinone, xanthopurpurin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside, and xanthopurpurin showed mainly strong inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation [2].

Associations of Purpuroxanthin with other chemical compounds

A known steroid, in addition to triterpenoids, anthraquinones, naphthalenes and a new anthraquinone glycoside, xanthopurpurin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside, were isolated from the roots of Rubia akane grown in Taiwan. Mollugin, a naphthohydroquinone, showed strong inhibition of arachidonic acid (AA)-induced and collagen-induced platelet aggregation [2].
