Floriani has recently examined bark from Aspidosperma quebracho bianco Schlecht f. pendulas Speg, in which he found the known alkaloids, quebrachine (yohimbine) and aspidospermine, as well as Hesse s aspidosamine, C2gH2g02N2, and a new base, aspidospermicine, Ci Hj ON, l-SHjO (1938). Hartmann and Schlittler have shown that the alkaloid vallesine from Vallesia glabra (Apocynaceae) is aspidospermine, and this has been confirmed by Deulofeu et aJ. who have also found it in V. dichotoma. Later Schlittler and Rottenberg by chromatographic analysis of the mother liquors of aspidospermine isolated a second alkaloid for which they used the old name Vallesine (1948). ... 

Nag and Haidar reported the purification of vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of Pongamia glabra and its ability to substitute commercially available factices [33]. Factices are usually used for mastication of NR during production of tubing, automobile parts, and window seals. The authors reported improvement in thermal stability of the NR vulcanizate after the factice was added.

Coumarin glycosides are found throughout the plant kingdom (Burrows and Tyrl, 2001). Seeds of Aesculus glabra (Ohio buckeye) contain the coumarin esculin, which is a mild neurotoxin. Sweet clovers Melilotus spp.) contain coumarins that are considered harmless unless moldy conditions exist, in which fungal activity produces the double coumarin dicoumarol. Dicoumarol is a... 

Source Indole was detected in jasmine flowers Jasminum officinale), licorice [Glycyrrhiza glabra), kohlrabi stems [Brassica oleraceavAT. gongylodes), and hyacinth flowers Hyacinthus orientalid at concentrations of 42 to 95, 2, 1.33, and 0.24 to 3.45 ppm, respectively. Indole also occurs in tea leaves, black locust flowers, corn leaves, petitgrain, and yellow elder (Duke, 1992).

The major sweet principle of licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), glycyrrhizin (1) (content 4%), has been used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer in foods, tobacco products, and in medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent (Fig. 4). 

Hormonal effects. A commercial product, PC-SPES, composed of Chrysantemum morifolium, Ganoderma lucidum, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Isatis indigotica, Panax pseudoginseng, Rabdosia rubescens, Scutellaria baicalensis, and Serenoa repens was tested in hormone-insensitive cell lines LNCAP-BCL-2, PC-3, and DU-145 at variable concentrations. LNCAP, the only hormone-sensitive cell line, was affected by the lowest dose of PC-SPES tested .
