  • Comparative Antiarrhythmic and Anti-Ischaemic Activity of Some Flavones in the Guinea-Pig and Rat
    Comparative Antiarrhythmic and Anti-ischaemic Activity of some Flavones in the Guinea-pig and Rat F. Occhiuto,* G. Busa, S. Ragusat and A. De Pasquale Pharmaco Biological Department, School of Pharmacy, University of Messina, Messina, Italy t Institute of Pharmacology and Experimental Toxicology, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy A comparative study of 16 flavones was carried out using 4 experimental models: 1, hyperkinetic ventricular arrhythmias induced by reperfusion in rat isolated heart; 2, arrhythmias following coronary artery ligation-reperfusion in anaesthetized guinea-pig; 3, pytressine arrhythmii by coronary spasm in anaes- thetized guinea-pig; and 4, anti-ischaemic activity using an ex uiuo perfusion heart technique after coronary occlusion in guinea-pig. The structure effect relationships of flavone, Ihydroxytlavone, &hydroxytlavone, 7-hydroxyflavone, 6,7-dihydroxytlavone, 7,8-dihydroxytlavone, apigenin, apiin, diosmin, 5-hydroxyfhvone, luteolin, luteolin glycoside, orientin, pratol, rhoifolin, viterdn, tested as antiarrhythmic and anti-ischaemic agents were compared to lidocaine and verapamil at equimolar doses. The results obtained demonstrated that most of these compounds exerted a protective effect against coronary-spasm and coronary-ligation induced ischaemic crisis, and against the ischaemic and the post-iscbaemic arrhythmias. The potencies were found to be structurally dependent for the flavones tested.

  • The Structural Chemistry of Naturally Occurring Flavones and Flavonols
    THE STRUCTURAL CHEMISTRY OF NATURALLY OCCURRING FLAVONES AND FLAVONOLS BY P. SURYAPRAKASA RAO AND T. R. SESHADRI (From the Department of Chemistry, Andhra University, Waltair) Received March 23, 1943 FLAVONES and flavonols form a large group of naturally occurring organic colouring matters. Though their economic importance as dyestuffs has largely diminished, interest in their chemistry continues unabated. In connection with the important and useful investigation intended to provide a chemical basis for the botanical classification of plants, they seem to be capable of playing a part. There are other considerations also. Compounds having structures based essentially on flavones and flavonols appear to exhibit certain desirable physiological properties. For example, hesperidin has been claimed to be a vitamin and karanjin has insecticidal and other valuable properties. Flavone (C 16H1002) (I) the parent of this numerically large group occurs in nature. The others are structurally derived from it by the substitution of the hydrogen atoms in various ways and to varying degrees by hydroxyl or methoxyl groups. Though it may be possible for all the ten hydrogen atoms to be replaced, the maximum number of substituents so far met with is only seven. Compounds with four, five and six hydroxyl groups are more common than the others and those with five are the most numerous. 0 /8\/i 2 1, 4^ C '^ 7 s ^ I A OB I a^ a^^ a R g a\ CO R = H ; Flavone (I) R — OH; Flavonol For purposes of classification of flavones and flavonols the nature of the benzene ring (A) in the benzopyrone part of the molecule is taken as the basis in this paper.

  • Nuclear Oxidation in the Flavones and Related Compounds Are Summed Up
    NUCLEAR OXIDATION IN THE FLAVONES AND RELATED COMPOUN'DS Part XIII. A Discasaion of the Results By T. R. SESHADRI, F.A.Se. (From the Department 0/ Chemistry, Andhra University, Waltair) Received April 29, 1948 I. BIOGENESIS IN a paper by Rao and Seshadri! published in 1943 data bearing on the occur­ rence of anthoxanthins and their association in nature were presented and discussed. They were found to support the theory of Robinson regarding the origin of anthocyanins and anthoxanthins from a common precursor (I). The most outstanding structural feature of the anthoxanthins is the large number of states of oxidation in which ring (A) is capable of existing. The biological data could satisfactorily be explained on the basis that flavones and flavonols having two hydroxyl groups (5: 7) in ring (A) represent primary stages in biogenesis and those having three hydroxyls (5: 6: 7 or 5: 7 : 8) and four hydroxyls (5: 6: 7: 8) involve additional stages of oxidation. (I) Al 1 2 T. R. Seshadri Laboratory experiments on nuclear oxidation in support of the above conclusions could not be carried out at that time owing to severe war conditions. They could be taken up more recently and the subject examined in detail. At the beginning it appeared that direct attack on the flavones themselves was not likely to be successful in view of the failures recorded in the past." 7 Consequently as the first stage in the development of the model experiments phloroglucinol derivatives were chosen. Phloroaceto­ phenone and w-methoxy-phloroacetophenone (II) and their derivatives had not been subjected to nuclear oxidation before.

  • PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES a Guide to Ethnobotanical Plants and Herbs, Synthetic Chemicals, Compounds and Products
    PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES A Guide to Ethnobotanical Plants and Herbs, Synthetic Chemicals, Compounds and Products. Acknowledgements: Acknowledgement: This Guide was compiled by Sinead O’Mahony Carey, Drug Education Officer, Substance Misuse Service South Tipperary. The Substance Misuse Service would like to thank Aine de Leastar, Anne-Marie Dunne and Karen O’Loughlin for their contribution and endless hours of research and referencing. Health Service Executive South Psychoactive Substances Manual (Edition 1.1) Compiled by: Sinead O’Mahony Carey Drug Education Officer Substance Misuse Service 11-12 Peter St., Clonmel. (052) 6177900 Graphic Design: Leo McCormack (Swift Design - 087 6499990) Introduction The ‘Guide to Ethnobotanical Plants and Herbs, Synthetic Chemicals, Compounds and Products’ available to the Irish Market has been collated and designed by the Drug Education Officer and team in the Substance Misuse Service HSE, South Tipperary. This edition is a follow on to ‘A Guide to Substance Misuse for Medical Professionals’ launched in November 2009. This Guide has been produced in response to requests from workers, users, medical professionals and academics for information on the emerging issue of legal herbal highs, plants and chemical alternatives available to buy in shops and online. Legal highs, legal alternatives and natural highs have become a world wide phenomenon in recent years both here in Ireland and on the International stage. The current concern for users, parents and professionals working with people using and misusing Psychoactive Substances is their after effects and how they can negatively impact on the body and mind. A Psychoactive Substance is a drug (any substance that changes the way a body and mind feels acts or thinks) that is not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977-84 and is therefore legal to use and possess.
