Rubia spp

Figure 2 shows a chromatogram with the dyes of Morinda, Oldenlandia, Coprosma, and Ventilago species. These dye plants are similar to the Rubia spp. 

CYCLIC OUGOPEPTIDES RAs Compounds from Rubia spp. Structures of RAs... 

The final chapter, by Itokawa, Takeya, Hitotsuyanagi, and Morita, reviews the various macrocyclic peptide alkaloids isolated from plants. In addition to a general overview of the many new peptide and amide alkaloids that have been isolated recently from a diverse range of plant families, this review places particular emphasis on the structure-activity relationships, the conformational analysis, and the antitumor activity of the RA series of cyclic oligopeptides from Rubia spp. 

Anthraquinoids (alizarin, purpurin, carminic acid, kermesic acid) [149] Dyes from Rubia spp. and cochineal Pazyryk textiles, 500-200 b.c. APCI operating in positive-ion mode, single quadrupole analyzer... 

Palomino, in his El museo pictorico y la escala optica (1715), mentions a pigment called laca di Francia in Spain, although it is called carmine [. v.] in France, where likewise they call carmine laca (cf tr. Vehz, 1986). Veliz considers the meaning to be a red lake based on madder (q.v. dye derived from Rubia spp).
