A rapid, sensitive and selective ultra-fast liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of three active flavonoid glycosides: luteolin-7-O-gentiobioside, luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucoside and luteolin-7-O-β-D...

Glucose uptake enhancing activity of puerarin and the role of C-glucoside suggested from activity of related compounds.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 20 , 4333-6, (2010)

Chemical treatment of diabetes mellitus is widely studied and controlling of blood glucose level is the main course of therapy. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance is the major problem. An isoflavone C-glucoside, puerarin (1), is known to enhance ...

Polyamidomine dendrimers: an excellent drug carrier for improving the solubility and bioavailability of puerarin.

Pharm. Dev. Technol. 18(5) , 1051-7, (2013)

The potential of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers as solubility enhancers and oral drug delivery system was well known. Herein, we investigated the possibility of PAMAM dendrimers for promoting the solubility and oral bioavailability of puerarin. In the pres...

Identification and assay of 3'-O-methyltaxifolin by UPLC-MS in rat plasma.

J. Chromatogr. B. Analyt. Technol. Biomed. Life Sci. 911 , 34-42, (2012)

A new metabolite of taxifolin: 3'-O-methyltaxifolin (3'-O-MTAX) in Caco-2 cells and in rat plasma was identified. The chemical structure of 3'-O-MTAX was determined by MS and (1)H NMR. A rapid, sensitive and specific UPLC-MS method to determine 3'-O-MTAX in r...

Puerarin suppresses proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells in part via differential recruitment of nuclear receptor coregulators to estrogen receptor-α

J. Steroid Biochem. Mol. Biol. 138 , 421-6, (2013)

• Puerarin suppresses proliferation of E2-stimulated ESCs by increasing G1 phase of the cell cycle. • Puerarin downregulates cyclin D1 and cdc25A expression in E2-stimulated ESCs. • Puerarin changes recruitment pattern of nuclear receptor coregulators to estr...

Isolation, identification and pharmacokinetic analysis of fructosyl puerarins from enzymatic glycosylation.

J. Chromatogr. B. Analyt. Technol. Biomed. Life Sci. 935 , 70-4, (2013)
