Under physiological conditions, the synaptic con- nections between neurons undergo activity-dependent func- tional and morphological re-organisation.

Firstly, flavonoid hydroxyls atortho position were more active than the hydroxyls atmeta position in scavenging oxygen-free raidicals, which resulted from the facts that (i) the former were stabilized by forming intramolecular hydrogen bond and (ii)ortho benzocluinone formed in the former structures through resonance, which resulted in large percentage of distribution of spin density or1ortho oxygen and low internal energy. Secondly, electron-attracting effect of ring C of chromone-flavonoids showed some passive efftrts on hydroxyls of ring A, making the OH less active. As ring C had little effect on ring B and hydroxyls of ring B in most flavonoids were atortho position, the rule summarized from experiments showing that hydroxyls of ring B were more active in scavenging oxygen-free radicals was elucidated.展开更多

Their structures were characterized by 2D NMR, IR, ESI-MS, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Preliminarily H＋/K＋-ATPase activity evaluation indicated that all the target compounds had a certain inhibitory effect, and compounds Ⅱ and IV exhibited the better inhibitory activity against H＋/K＋-ATPase than bisabolangelone and the commercial omeprazole with the IC50 of 23.21 and 65.32 pmol/L, respectively. The initial structure-activity analysis suggested that the presence of carbonyl group in six-membered ring and double bond in side-chain seemed to be necessary to the activity.展开更多
