Antiplatelet effects and vasorelaxing action of some constituents of Formosan plants.[Pubmed: 8350094]

METHODS AND RESULTS:
Various xanthones as well as quercetin have been shown to exhibit antiplatelet activity. A series of anthraquinones analogues structurally related to xanthones and a series of quercetin-related compounds were tested for their antiplatelet effects.
CONCLUSIONS:
Emodin, frangulin B, Kaempferol tetraacetate, quercetin-3-O-galactoside octaacetate, rhamnazin triacetate, and rhamnetin tetraacetate were found to be potent antiplatelet agents, and 1,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-3-methylanthraquinone 8-O-rhamnosyl-(1-->2)-glucoside, rhamnustrioside undecaacetate, rutin decaacetate, and quercetin-3-O-(6-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl)-beta-D-galactopyranos ide decaacetate showed significant antiplatelet effects. Quercetin showed vasorelaxing action in rat thoracic aorta.

Cytotoxic activities of flavonoid glycoside acetates from Consolida oliveriana.[Pubmed: 18214815]

METHODS AND RESULTS:
The flavonoids kaempferol, quercetin, trifolin, hyperoside 2''- and 6''- acetates, 7-glucotrifolin, biorobin and robinin were isolated from the aerial parts of Consolida oliveriana.
CONCLUSIONS:
Their derivatives Kaempferol tetraacetate, quercetin pentaacetate, trifolin heptaacetate and hyperoside octaacetate exhibited significant cytotoxicity IN VITRO against three human cell lines HL-60, U937 and SK-MEL-1 while hyperoside 2''-acetate, hyperoside-6''-acetate, glucotrifolin decaacetate and heptamethyltrifolin were inactive.

Selective methylation of kaempferol via benzylation and deacetylation of kaempferol acetates.[Pubmed: 25815082]

A strategy for selective mono-, di- and tri-O-methylation of kaempferol, predominantly on the basis of selective benzylation and controllable deacetylation of kaempferol acetates, was developed.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
From the selective deacetylation and benzylation of Kaempferol tetraacetate (1), 3,4',5,-tri-O-acetylkaempferol (2) and 7-O-benzyl-3,4'5,-tri-O-acetylkaempferol (8) were obtained, respectively. By controllable deacetylation and followed selective or direct methylation of these two intermediates, eight O-methylated kaempferols were prepared with 51-77% total yields from kaempferol.
