Gm. Konig et al., HYPOGLYCEMIC ACTIVITY OF AN HMG-CONTAINING FLAVONOID GLUCOSIDE, CHAMAEMELOSIDE, FROM CHAMAEMELUM NOBILE, Planta medica, 64(7), 1998, pp. 612-614
The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid (HMG) containing flavonoid glucosi
de chamaemeloside, has been determined to have in vivo hypoglycaemic a
ctivity comparable to that of free HMG. An improved isolation scheme f
or obtaining chamaemeloside from Chamaemelum nobile is presented.
