Disease relevance of Ranunculus

• Protoanemonin was identified as the factor responsible for the antimutagenicity of Ranunculus and Anemone plants against the strain E. coli B/r WP2 trp [1].

High impact information on Ranunculus

• The D1 protein turnover was compared in three species of alpine plants, Homogyne alpina, Ranunculus glacialis, Soldanella alpina, and in the lowland plant Taraxacum officinale by radioactive labeling in light and subsequent chase experiments [2].
• Reversibility of cold- and light-stress tolerance and accompanying changes of metabolite and antioxidant levels in the two high mountain plant species Soldanella alpina and Ranunculus glacialis [3].
• Biosynthesis of new divinyl ether oxylipins in Ranunculus plants [4].
• The analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of Ranunculus japonicus extract after parenteral administration were determined in several animal models [5].
• Quantitative analyses of protoanemonin in the crude extracts of Ranunculus and Anemone plants were performed by reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography [1].

Anatomical context of Ranunculus

• The same result was obtained with chromoplasts, similar in structure, from Laburnum anagyroides and Ranunculus acer [6].

Associations of Ranunculus with chemical compounds

• Uptake of cadmium by the invasive perennial weeds Ranunculus repens and Geranium robertianum under laboratory conditions [7].
• Growth responses to supplementary UV-B+A are mostly inhibitory when compared to the ambient daylight treatment for Bellis perennis, Cardamine pratensis, Cynosurus critatus and Ranunculus ficaria [8].
• A new acylated quercetin glycoside from Ranunculus lanuginosus [9].
• Phytochemical investigations on the chloroform and ethyl acetate soluble fractions of the roots of Ranunculus repens led to the isolation of methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate 1, R(+)- 4-methoxydalbergione 2 and R(+)-dalbergiophenol 3 [10].
