Aphelandra Bahiensis
''Aphelandra'' is a genus of about 170 species of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas. They are evergreen shrubs growing to tall, with opposite, simple leaves long, often with white veins. The flowers are produced in dense spikes, with brightly coloured bracts. Several species are grown as houseplants for their patterned leaves and brightly coloured inflorescences. Pharmacological activity Pharmacological reports on genus Aphelandra are Antibacterial activity, Antifungal activity and Immunomodulatory activity. Phytochemistry Phytochemical reports on genus Aphelandra are Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Isoflavones, Benzoxazinoids-cyclic hydroxamic acid and their corresponding glucosides.

Aphelandra Squarrosa
'' Aphelandra squarrosa'', commonly (if not ambiguously) called "zebra plant", is a small- to medium-sized tropical shrub in the ''Acanthus'' family Acanthaceae. It is a part of the overall Atlantic Forest vegetation of eastern coastal Brazil. ''Aphelandra'' is often sold for use as a decorative house plant. This plant species is cited in Flora Brasiliensis by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius. Plant care This plant flourishes in abundant, but not direct, bright light. Reflected light is beneficial as well. It does not bloom often, but it can be encouraged to bloom by prolonged daily exposure to light. It is also very sensitive to moisture content - too much or too little water will cause the biggest leaves to wilt and fall off. It likes to be kept moist, but not wet. Drainage of the substrate is equally as important as moisture retention. On average, it needs frequent, small amounts of water, as opposed to an occasional, thorough watering. This makes ''A. squarrosa'' an ideal c ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Isoflavones
Isoflavones are substituted derivatives of isoflavone, a type of naturally occurring isoflavonoids, many of which act as phytoestrogens in mammals. Isoflavones are produced almost exclusively by the members of the bean family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae). Although isoflavones and closely related phytoestrogens are sold as dietary supplements, there is little scientific evidence for either the safety of long-term supplementation or of health benefits from these compounds. Some studies have identified potential risks from high intake of isoflavones, such as in women with a history of breast cancer, but this concern has not been substantiated with high-quality clinical research. Organic chemistry and biosynthesis Isoflavone is an isomer of flavone, which is chromone substituted with a phenyl group in the 2-position. In isoflavone, the phenyl group is in the 4-position. Isoflavone is of liminted interest per se, but substituted derivatives are of nutritional interest. Substituted derivativ ...
