Flavonoid Chemistry of the Leguminosae

1 Early contributions to the flavonoid chemistry of the Leguminosae. The isoflavone glucoside, ononin (1), first obtained from the roots of Ononis spinosa (spiny restharrow) by Reinsch in 1842. Robinin (2), a flavonol 3,7-O-glycoside from the flowers of Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust tree), first mentioned in the literature by Zwenger and Dronke in 1861. [Pg.24]

Nitrogen fixation Leguminosae Flavones, isoflavones Activation of nod gene expression [Pg.25]

Plant defense Papilionoideae Isoflavonoid phytoalexins (e.g., pterocarpans, isoflavans) Antifungal activity (inhibit spore germination, germ tube elongation, hyphal growth, etc.) [Pg.25]

More chemistry has been carried out on the heartwood flavonoids of the Leguminosae than on those of any other plant family. This is not surprising considering that there are many tree species in what is a very large family and also that these trees are used as timber, for furniture, or as a source of tannin. But it also reflects the fact that there are an enormous variety of chemical structures present, particularly of isoflavonoids. The discovery of interesting and novel structures in one tree inevitably encourages investigation of related species for further novelties. [Pg.562]

As part of the series Topics in Heterocyclic chemistry, this volume titled Bioactive Heterocycles II presents comprehensive and up-to-date reviews on selected topics concerning mainly the usefulness for human health of flavonoids and related compounds, Sophora flavonoids and their functions in Sophora species (Leguminosae), the relationship of biological activity with the diverse structures of heterocycles by quantum chemical calculation, advances in bioactive mesoionic heterocycles, and the spectroscopic properties and application of bioactive phenothiazines including also benzo[a]phenothiazines. [Pg.244]
