Natural structural materials typically feature complex hierarchical anisotropic architectures, resulting in excellent damage tolerance. Such highly anisotropic structures, however, also provide an easy path for crack propagation, often leading to catastrophic fracture as evidenced, for example, by...

The usage of the chemotherapeutic agent methotrexate (MTX) was associated with hepatotoxicity that minimized its clinical use. The Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) was used before to alleviate the MTX-induced liver injury through its antioxidant activity. This work was carried out to elucidate other...

The aim of this study was to optimize the separation and purification technology of water-soluble Ginkgo biloba leaves polysaccharides (WGBP), analyze its composition characteristics, observe its hair-growth promoting effect in alopecia areata mice, clarify the polysaccharide fraction with...

Ginkgo biloba seed exocarp contains a variety of bioactive components, such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, terpenoid trilactones, and ginkgolic acids, which have a high value of utilization. However, Ginkgo biloba seed exocarp is always treated as waste of ginkgo seeds processing. To maximize the...

Ginkgo biloba extracts (GBE) is one of the most widely used natural drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but how to remove ginkgolic acids (GAs) from extracts in a safe, efficient, and economical method is an urgent need. Combined with quantum chemistry...

The effects of ethanol volume fraction, extraction time and solid-liquid ratio on the yield of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract were studied by single factor experiment. The results showed that the optimal extraction condition was 50% ethanol volume fraction, 41 min in extraction time and 1:43 (g:mL)...

Four flavonoid glycosides containing coumaroyl or feruloyl groups were isolated from the male flowers of Ginkgo biloba L., and compounds 3 and 4 were identified as novel compounds. The inhibitory activities against a-glucosidase were investigated by docking studies, in vitro assays and kinetic...

Isoginkgetin (IGG) is a compound originally derived from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba trees. It was subsequently identified through a chemical screen to be an inhibitor of both the major and minor spliceosome, with an IC50 value of 30 µM [1]. Little is currently known about the overall effects of...

Extracts of Ginkgo biloba (EGb) have many biological activities, but contain a small amount of toxic ginkgolic acids, limiting the use of EGb. Based on the structural characteristics of ortho-hydroxy-carboxyl group on ginkgolic acids, we introduced hydrophilic polyhydroxy structure into hydrophobic ...
