Isolation of myricitrin and 3,5-di-o-methyl gossypetin from syzygium samarangense and evaluation of their involvement in protecting keratinocytes against oxidative stress via activation of the Nrf-2 pathway
The wax apple (Syzygium samarangense) is traditionally employed as an antibacterial and immunostimulant drug in traditional medicine. This plant is rich in different flavonoids and tannins. In this study, we isolated two compounds from S. samarangense leaves: Myricitrin and 3,5-di-O-methyl gossypetin. Then, we investigated the mechanisms of action of the two compounds against oxidative stress (ind
