Phoradendron brachystachyum is a hemiparasitic plant widely distributed in México that belongs to the Viscaceae family. It has been commonly used in folk medicine as a substitute for the European mistletoe. In this chemical study, morolic acid was isolated as the major component (47.54% of the total composition of acetone extract) of this plant. In addition, 19 known compounds were identified: β-sitosteryl and stigmasteryl linoleates, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, triacontanol, squalene, α- and β-amyrin, lupeol, lupenone, betulin aldehyde, betulon aldehyde, oleanolic aldehyde, betulinic acid, betulonic acid, moronic acid, morolic acid, oleanolic acid, flavonoids acacetin and acacetin 7-methyl ether. There have been no previous reports in the literature on the chemical composition of this potential natural source of hypoglycaemic and antihypertensive compounds.
麻叶鳞毛蕨是一种广泛分布于墨西哥的半寄生植物，属于鳞毛蕨科。它在民间医学中常被用作欧洲槲寄生的替代品。在这项化学研究中，麻叶鳞毛蕨被分离出作为主要成分（占丙酮提取物总成分的 47.54%）。此外，还鉴定出 19 种已知化合物：β-谷甾醇和豆甾醇亚油酸酯、β-谷甾醇、豆甾醇、三十烷醇、角鲨烯、α-和β-香树脂醇、羽扇豆醇、羽扇豆酮、桦木酸醛、桦木酮醛、齐墩果酸醛、齐墩果酸、齐墩果酸、莫诺酸、麻叶鳞毛蕨酸、莫诺酸、麻叶鳞毛蕨酸、齐墩果酸、黄酮类化合物芹黄素和芹黄素 7-甲醚。目前还没有关于这种有降血糖和降血压作用的天然化合物潜在来源的化学成分的文献报道。
