High impact information on Pedicularis

• The scavenging activities of six phenylpropanoid glycosides, i.e. leucosceptoside A and martynoside, isolated from Pedicularis alashanica Maxim, verbascoside, and pediculariosides A, M and N isolated from Pedicularis striata Pall ssp. arachnoidea Franch Tsoong, on superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals have been studied by the spin trapping method [1].
• Experiments show that the natural products phenyl propanoid glycosides (PPGs) extracted from the plant Pedicularis spicata are capable of repairing DNA damaged by oxygen radicals [2].
• Isoverbascoside, a phenylethanoid glycoside, was isolated from Chinese folk medicine herb Pedicularis striata Pall [3].
• Verbascoside is a natural antioxidant extracted from Pedicularis striata Pall (Jueyehesen) [4].
• Inhibition of the autoxidation of linoleic acid by phenylpropanoid glycosides from Pedicularis in micelles [5].

Associations of Pedicularis with chemical compounds

• Phenylpropanoid and iridoid glycosides from Pedicularis lasiophrys [6].
• Two new compounds, pedicularioside E and F, were isolated from whole plants of Pedicularis lasiophrys, along with the four known compounds, verbascoside, cistanoside C, cistanoside D and 8-epiloganin [6].
• A new phenylpropanoid glycoside, pedicularioside A, and five known glycosides, acteoside, isoacteoside, decaffeoylacteoside, echinacoside and 8-acetylharpagide, were isolated from whole plants of Pedicularis striata [7].
• One new phenylpropanoid glycoside, pedicularioside H, and five known glycosides, gardoside methyl ester, shanzhiside methyl ester, 5-deoxypulchelloside I, verbascoside and pedicularioside A, were isolated from whole plants of Pedicularis spicata [8].
