[Study on Chemical Constituents of Lonicera similis]
Objective:
To study the chemical constituents of flower buds of Lonicera similis.
Methods:
The compounds were isolated and repeatedly purified by macroperous resin, silica gel column, gel column, preparation of TLC, and RP C18, chromatography. Their structures were elucidated by physicochemical properties, MS and NMR.
Results:
Seven compounds were isolated and identified as 4-hydroxy-γ,3,5-trimethoxybenzenepropanol (1), ursolic acid(2), E-ferulic acid(3), caffeic acid ethyl ester(4), dihydrosyringenin (5), rutin(6) and 6-Daucosterin (7).
Conclusion:
Compounds 1 and 5 are isolated from this genus for the first time, and compounds 2 - 4 are isolated from this plant for the first time.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

Larynx
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

Local Anesthetics: Mechanism of Action
Local anesthetics are amphiphilic molecules consisting of a hydrophobic aromatic part linked to a hydrophilic group by an ester or amide linkage. They are weak bases and are usually available as salts, which increases their solubility and stability. Once administered, LAs exist in the body either...
