High impact information on Caragana

A glycoprotein fraction with hemagglutinating activity was purified by affinity chromatography from seeds of the pea tree, Caragana arborescens [1].
The increased reactivity of intact or de-sialylated serum IgA1 with N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-specific lectins, Helix aspersa (HAA) and Caragana arborescens (CAA) and de-sialylated IgA1 with Helix pomatia (HPA) and Bauhinia purpurea (BPA) indicated that the Gal deficiency is in glycans located in the hinge region of IgA1 molecules [2].
Anti-HIV bioactive stilbene dimers of Caragana rosea [3].
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Caragana rosea Turcz. led to the isolation of two new (cararosinol C and cararosinol D) and four known [scirpusin A (1), cis-scirpusin A (2), maackin (3), scirpusin B (4)] stilbene dimers [3].
Antioxidant constituents of Caragana tibetica [4].

Biological context of Caragana

Metabolites and the pharmacokinetics of kobophenol A from Caragana sinica in rats [5].

Anatomical context of Caragana

Biodegradation of bisphenol A by cultured cells of Caragana chamlagu [6].

Associations of Caragana with chemical compounds

Caragaphenol A (1), a new trimeric stilbene, was isolated from the roots of Caragana stenophylla (Leguminosae) along with three known oligomeric stilbenes: (+)-alpha-viniferin (2), miyabenol C (3) and kobophenol A (4) [7].
A new resveratrol dimer, carasiphenol A (1), and a new resveratrol trimer, carasiphenol B (2), have been isolated from the aerial parts of Caragana sinica [8].
