High impact information on Anacardiaceae

• Butein is known to be the major component of the bark of Rhus verniciflua Stokes (Anacardiaceae) [1].
• Bioassay-directed fractionation of the n-hexane extract of the stem of Rhus semialata Murr. var. roxburghii DC (Anacardiaceae) has led to the isolation of 6-pentadecylsalicylic acid [2].
• Immunological studies of poisonous anacardiaceae: effect of vehicle on absorption of 3-n-pentadecylcatechol and its diacetate ester derivative after oral feeding in rats [3].
• Myth, marula, and elephant: an assessment of voluntary ethanol intoxication of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) following feeding on the fruit of the marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea) [4].
• Chemical composition and antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds from wild and cultivated Sclerocarya birrea(Anacardiaceae) leaves [5].

Biological context of Anacardiaceae

• Monoterpenes, pigments, lipid peroxidation products, sulfur and water content expressed as dry weight/fresh weight ratio were measured in leaves of Schinus areira L. collected in Mendoza, Argentina [6].

Anatomical context of Anacardiaceae

• Isolation and partial characterization of a pectic polysaccharide from the fruit pulp of Spondias cytherea and its effect on peritoneal macrophage activation [7].

Associations of Anacardiaceae with chemical compounds

• Physiological issues to resolve include alcohol dehydrogenase activity and ethanol clearance rates in elephants, as well as values for marula fruit alcohol content [4].
• Air pollutants effect on monoterpenes composition and foliar chemical parameters in Schinus areira L [6].
• SB-202742, a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor isolated from Spondias mombin [8].
• Pentagalloylglucose, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor from a Paraguayan crude drug, "Molle-i" (Schinus terebinthifolius) [9].
• Activity-guided isolation of radical-scavenging compounds from the dichloromethane extract of the root bark of Lannea edulis led to isolation of two known bioactive alkylphenols [cardonol 7 (1) and cardonol 13 (2)], and three new dihydroalkylhexenones were also isolated (3-5) [10].

Gene context of Anacardiaceae

• Specific competitive inhibitor of secreted phospholipase A2 from berries of Schinus terebinthifolius [11].
• Two novel natural products, lanneaquinol (1) and 2'(R)-hydroxylanneaquinol (2), were isolated from the organic extract of the plant Lannea welwitschii (Hiern) Engl. Their structures were solved by spectroanalytical methods and confirmed by comparison to synthetic models [12].
• The results are consistent with those of other studies, based on isozyme analysis of esterase, phosphoglucomutase and superoxide dismutase, and hrp-RFLP analysis; they indicate the need for a comprehensive taxonomic evaluation of xanthomonads associated with Anacardiaceae [13].
• Anacardic acids, 2-methylcardols, and cardols isolated from various parts of the cashew [Anacardium occidentale] (Anacardiaceae) fruit have been found to exhibit tyrosinase inhibitory activity [14].
• Evaluation of the analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties of Sclerocarya birrea (A. Rich.) Hochst. stem-bark aqueous extract in mice and rats [15].
