Yellow pigments produced by oxidative oligomerization of dihydrochalcone glucoside and the reaction mechanism [PDF]
, 2023 From the dried leaves of Lithocarpus polystachyus, yellow pigments, lithocarputins B (11) and C (12), were isolated with a colorless dihydrochalcone dimer, lithocarputin A (10). The pigments 11 and 12 are dimeric dihydrochalcone glycosides with bicyclo[3.

Polyphenol Oxidase Activity on Guaiacyl and Syringyl Lignin Units
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 136, Issue 48, November 25, 2024.The conversion of lignin‐derived guaiacyl (G) and syringyl (S) compounds into methoxy‐ortho‐diphenols through oxidative ortho‐hydroxylation and ortho‐demethoxylation reactions catalyzed by novel fungal polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) is presented. The formation of o‐diphenols rather than reactive quinones can be steered by the addition of a reductant. These

Oxidative Stress: Molecular Mechanisms, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Oxidative stress occurs when the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production overwhelms the ROS scavenging, which lead to genomic instability, epigenetic regulation, proteostasis imbalance, and lipid peroxidation, subsequently causing the occurrence and development of numerous diseases. ABSTRACT Although the physiological level of reactive oxygen species (
