High impact information on Flacourtiaceae

• A mixture of cyanogenic glucosides epivolkenin and taraktophyllin, 1,4-dihydroxy-2-cyclopentenecarboxamide, and uridine were isolated from leaves of Lindackeria dentata (Flacourtiaceae) [1].
• Two anti-inflammatory principles were isolated from the methanol extract of the leaves of Erythrospermum monticolum (Flacourtiaceae) [2].
• In seeds of Hydnocarpus anthelminthica of Flacourtiaceae, cyclopentenylglycine and cyclopentenyl fatty acids are found naturally [3].
• A butyrolactone lignan disaccharide from Flacourtia ramontchi [4].
• beta-Sitosterol, beta-sitosterol-beta-D-glucopyranoside and a butyrolactone lignan disaccharide, ramontoside, were isolated from the heartwood of Flacourtia ramontchi [4].

Associations of Flacourtiaceae with chemical compounds

• Biosynthesis of cyclopentenyl fatty acids. (2-Cyclopentenyl)carboxylic acid (aleprolic acid) as a special primer for fatty acid biosynthesis in Flacourtiaceae [5].
• Xylosmacin, a new phenolic glucoside ester from Xylosma velutina (Flacourtiaceae) [6].
• The Flacourtiaceae are among the most primitive of all angiosperms and in common with other primitive hyperaccumulators, contain nickel as a complex with citric acid [7].
• The biosynthesis of cyclopentenyl fatty acids from (2-cyclopentenyl)carboxylic acid (aleprolic acid) via chain-lengthening by C2-units was tested in seeds and leaves of Caloncoba echinata and Hydnocarpus anthelminthica of Flacourtiaceae and in various prepatations of higher plants other than Fla courtiaceae [5].

Gene context of Flacourtiaceae

• Screening of some Australian Flacourtiaceae species for in vitro antioxidant, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity [8].
