Effects of Polyphenols on Oxidative Stress-Mediated Injury in Cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. Hypertension, ischemia/reperfusion, diabetes and anti-cancer drugs contribute to heart failure through oxidative and nitrosative stresses which cause cardiomyocytes ...

An Arabidopsis flavonoid transporter is required for anther dehiscence and pollen development [PDF]
FLOWER FLAVONOID TRANSPORTER (FFT) encodes a multidrug and toxin efflux family transporter in Arabidopsis thaliana. FFT (AtDTX35) is highly transcribed in floral tissues, the transcript being localized to epidermal guard cells, including those of the ...

Silencing CHALCONE SYNTHASE in maize impedes the incorporation of tricin into lignin and increases lignin content [PDF]
Lignin is a phenolic heteropolymer that is deposited in secondary-thickened cell walls, where it provides mechanical strength. A recent structural characterization of cell walls from monocot species showed that the flavone tricin is part of the native ...

4-({4-[(2E)-3-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]phenyl}amino)-4-oxobutanoic Acid
A dimethoxy amide chalcone has been synthesized in a two-step reaction. First, an amine chalcone was synthesized by the reaction of 4′-aminoacetophenone and 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde using 40% NaOH solution as a catalyst in ethanol, and then followed by ...

Synthesis and Identification of Phenyl Azochalcone & bis- azo – Chalcone Derivatives Derived from P-amino Acetophenone [PDF]
This work involves the synthesis of different substituted amino-chalcones via claisen- schmidt condensation reaction between p-amino acetophenone and different aromatic substituted benzaldehydes. The second step involves the conversion of amino-chalcones

Identifying the transporters of different flavonoids in plants [PDF]
We recently identified a new component of flavonoid transport pathways in Arabidopsis. The MATE protein FFT (Flower Flavonoid Transporter) is primarily found in guard cells and seedling roots, and mutation of the transporter results in floral and growth ...
