Description

avicularin: from Polygonum aviculare L.; RN given refers to L-isomer [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

avicularin : A quercetin O-glycoside in which an alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl residue is attached at position 3 of quercetin via a glycosidic linkage. It is isolated particularly from Juglans regia and Foeniculum vulgare.

FloraRankFlora DefinitionFamilyFamily Definition
FoeniculumgenusA plant genus of the family APIACEAE used in SPICES.[MeSH]ApiaceaeA large plant family in the order Apiales, also known as Umbelliferae. Most are aromatic herbs with alternate, feather-divided leaves that are sheathed at the base. The flowers often form a conspicuous flat-topped umbel. Each small individual flower is usually bisexual, with five sepals, five petals, and an enlarged disk at the base of the style. The fruits are ridged and are composed of two parts that split open at maturity.[MeSH]
JuglansgenusA plant genus of the family JUGLANDACEAE that provides the familiar walnut.[MeSH]JuglandaceaeThe walnut plant family of the order Juglandales, subclass Hamamelidae, class Magnoliopsida. They are mainly temperate zone trees.[MeSH]
PolygonumgenusA plant genus of the family POLYGONACEAE that is an ingredient of Shou-Wu-Pian, a Chinese herbal preparation (DRUGS, CHINESE HERBAL). The common name of black bindweed also refers to TAMUS or Fallopia (use POLYGONACEAE).[MeSH]PolygonaceaeThe only family of the buckwheat order (Polygonales) of dicotyledonous flowering plants. It has 40 genera of herbs, shrubs, and trees.[MeSH]
