High impact information on Dipsacaceae

• Hederagenin glycosides from the flowers of Cephalaria transsylvanica [1].
• New biologically active triterpenoid saponins from Scabiosa tschiliensis [2].
• In the present study, we sought to evaluate the protective effects of the herbal medicine Dipsacus asper extract against the cognitive impairment and overexpression of hippocampal beta-amyloid protein (Abeta) induced by chronic Al exposure in rats [3].
• From the rootstock of Scabiosa columbria L. loganin and sweroside were isolated [4].
• Four new allose-containing triterpenoid saponosides, scabriosides A, B, C and D were isolated from the roots of Scabiosa rotata [5].

Associations of Dipsacaceae with chemical compounds

• An iridoid glucoside from dipsacus asperoides [6].
• Transsylvanoside A, an acidic triterpene glycoside from Cephalaria transsylvanica [7].
• Transsylvanoside B, which is a new acidic triterpene glycoside, was isolated from dried flowers of Cephalaria transsylvanica [8].
• A new lignan glycoside and other constituents from Cephalaria ambrosioides [9].
• Progesterone potentiating effect of Dipsacus mitis D. Don for its contraceptive action in hamster [10].

Gene context of Dipsacaceae

• Zymograms of glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI) and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) revealed three isozymes for each enzyme in the plant species Scabiosa columbaria [11].
• Both Dipsacus asper extract and VE significantly ameliorated animal's performance impairment in the passive avoidance task and suppressed the overexpression of hippocampal Abeta immunoreactivity [3].
