Survey of phytochemical constituents and light absorbing pigments in mangrove species and mangal associates from northern Queensland and the Northern Territory

Samples from 48 mangrove species and mangal associates from 24 different families from various areas of North Queensland and Northern Territory, Australia, were screened for alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, triterpenes, tannins, UV absorbing compounds and photosynthetic pigments.
The aim of this study was to carry out a preliminary survey of mangrove plant material to obtain an overall picture of the presence of chemical substances and UV-A (330-360nm) and UV-B (290-330nm) pigments (including carotenoids and flavonoids) in mangrove flora.

研究人员对采自澳大利亚北昆士兰州与北领地多个区域的48种红树林植物、隶属于24个不同科的红树林伴生植物的样本，开展了针对生物碱、黄酮类、皂苷类、甾体类、三萜类、鞣质、紫外吸收化合物及光合色素的定性筛查。
本研究旨在对红树林植物材料开展初步普查，以全面掌握红树林植物类群中化学物质，以及紫外A（UV-A，330~360nm）、紫外B（UV-B，290~330nm）色素（涵盖类胡萝卜素与黄酮类物质）的存在概况。
