Pachypodol
Pachypodol is an O-methylated flavonol, a type of chemical compound. It can be isolated from '' Pachypodanthium confine'', from leaves of ''Agastache rugosa, (Korean mint)'', Latin denomination of part of plant : Agastache folium ''Agastache'' () is a genus of aromatic flowering herbaceous perennial plants in the family Lamiaceae. It contains 22 species, mainly native to North America, one species native to eastern Asia. The common names of the species are a variety of f ... .

O-methylated Flavonol
The O-methylated flavonoids or methoxyflavonoids are flavonoids with methylations on hydroxyl groups (methoxy bonds). O-methylation has an effect on the solubility of flavonoids. Enzymes O-methylated flavonoids formation implies the presence of specific O-methyltransferase (OMT) enzymes which accept a variety of substrates. Those enzymes mediate the O-methylation on a specific hydroxyl group, like on 4' (example in ''Catharanthus roseus'') or 3' (example in rice) positions. Those positions can be ortho, meta, para and there can be a special 3-O-methyltransferase for the 3-OH position. Calamondin orange ('' Citrus mitis'') exhibits all of those activities. Plant enzymes * Apigenin 4'-O-methyltransferase * 8-hydroxyquercetin 8-O-methyltransferase * Isoflavone 4'-O-methyltransferase * Isoflavone 7-O-methyltransferase * Isoliquiritigenin 2'-O-methyltransferase * Isoorientin 3'-O-methyltransferase * Kaempferol 4'-O-methyltransferase * Luteolin O-methyltransferase * Methylquercet ...

Agastache Rugosa
''Agastache rugosa'' also known as wrinkled giant hyssop, purple giant hyssop, Indian mint, blue licorice, huo xiang (藿香), and Chinese patchouli, is an aromatic herb in the mint family, native to East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Russian Primorye, Taiwan, India, and Vietnam). Description Agastache rugosa is a perennial plant growing up to tall, with square stalks that branch at the upper part. The oval-cordate leaves are oppositely arranged, long and broad, with coarsely serrated margins. Some leaves have hair and/or touches of white on the underside. The leaves are slightly larger than anise hyssop. From July to September in the Northern Hemisphere, purple bilabiate flowers bloom in verticillasters that are long and broad. The calyx is long, with five narrow triangular lobes. The petals are long, lower ones longer and the ones inside serrated. They range in color from rose to violet. The stamens are didynamous, long, and exposed. The fruit is schizocarp, wit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Agastache Folium
''Agastache'' () is a genus of aromatic flowering herbaceous perennial plants in the family Lamiaceae. It contains 22 species, mainly native to North America, one species native to eastern Asia. The common names of the species are a variety of fairly ambiguous and confusing "hyssops" and "mints"; as a whole the genus is known as giant hyssops or hummingbird mints. Most species are very upright, 0.5–3 m tall, with stiff, angular stems clothed in toothed-edged, lance shaped leaves ranging from 1–15 cm long and 0.5–11 cm broad depending on the species. Upright spikes of tubular, two-lipped flowers develop at the stem tips in summer. The flowers are usually white, pink, mauve, or purple, with the bracts that back the flowers being of the same or a slightly contrasting color. Systematics and taxonomy ''Agastache'' derives from the Ancient Greek words () "very much" and () "ear of grain", describing the flower spikes. The genus was established in 1762 by Jan Frederik ...
