The antifungal activities of ligustilide and butylidene phthalide, which are major oil components comprising the essential
oil of Ligusticum chuanxiong, in combination with antifungal drugs were evaluated. Checkerboard microtiter and microdilution tests were used to measure
combined effects against Trichophyton species, T. erinacei, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, T. schoenleinii, T. tonsurans and T. soudanense. Susceptibility of these Trichophyton species to L. chuanxiong essential oil differed distinctly. The fractional inhibitory concentrations (FICIs) against Trichophyton species ranged between 0.27 and 0.56 for ketoconazole combined with ligustilde or butylidene phthalide, indicating synergism
or additive effects between the antibiotic and essential oil compounds. Testing by itraconazole instead of ketoconazole, similar
combination effects were observed with FICIs from 0.31 to 0.63 against the tested strains of T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, T. schoenleinii, and T. soudanense. Thus, data reported here showed that Trichophyton susceptibility to ketoconazole and itraconazole could be notably improved by ligustilde and butylidene phthalide. 相似文献

Bioassay-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of Suaeda glauca yielded four phenolic compounds, methyl 3,5-di-O-caffeoyl quinate (1) and 3,5-di-O-caffeoyl quinic acid (2), isorhamnetin 3-O-beta-D-galactoside (3), and quercetin 3-O-beta-D-galactoside (4). Compounds 1 and 2 were hepatoprotective against tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in human liver-derived Hep G2 cells with the EC(50) values of 72.7+/-6.2 and 117.2+/-10.5 microM, respectively. Silybin as a positive control showed an EC(50) value of 82.4+/-4.1 microM. 相似文献

The aim of our study is to find functional compounds from natural resources. We focus on plants grown in tropical areas, especially Madagascar and Thailand, because they have unique flora and are expected to contain interesting compounds. We review the functional compounds of the seed kernels of Entada phaseoloides and E. rheedei and their biological activities such as anti-proliferation and melanogenesis inhibitory properties, etc. 相似文献

Three new ent-abietanoids, named xerophilusins XIV–XVI, and four known analogues, as well as four known chemical constituents were isolated
from the leaves of Isodon xerophilus. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic studies, and comparison with literature data. In addition, the
cytotoxic activity of the ent-abietanoids against chronic myelogenous leukemia (K562), stomach adenocarcinoma (MKN45), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2)
human cell lines was investigated and no activities were observed. 相似文献

Bidens pilosa L. var. radiata Scherff (BP) is a plant used as a traditional folk medicine. BP, cultivated with only green manure on Miyako Island, Okinawa prefecture,
was processed to powder and is referred to as MMBP. We have reported that MMBP has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergy
properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of MMBP on several experimental gastric lesions induced by HCl/EtOH,
a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or cold-restraint stress, comparing these results with those of rutin or anti-ulcerogenic
drugs (cimetidine or sucralfate) based on the lesion index and hemorrhage from the gastric lesions. Orally administered MMBP
prevented the progression of the gastric lesions. Moreover, treatment with MMBP, rutin, or sucralfate, which had potent antioxidative
activity, inhibited increases in the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in the gastric mucosal lesions.
The inhibition of the gastric mucosal TBARS content by MMBP may have been due to the antioxidant effects of MMBP. These results
indicate that MMBP prevents the progression of acute gastric mucosal lesions, possibly by suppressing oxidative stress in
the gastric mucosa. 相似文献

Twenty-eight samples of mericarps of Perilla frutescens var. frutescens were collected through fieldwork performed in Phongsali and Xieng Khouang provinces in northern Laos. No perilla samples
were collected from Savannakhet province in the south although more than 20 sites were investigated. Perilla plants are mostly
grown mixed with dry-paddy rice by slash-and-burn cultivation in Laos. The most popular local name for perilla mericarps in
the area was “Ma Nga Chan”. Weight of 1,000 grains and hardness of the mericarps were measured, and all mericarps were found
to be large (weight of 1,000 grains around 2 g) and soft (limit load weight under 300 g), which were preferred for culinary
use in Laos. The composition of the essential oils obtained from the herbaceous plants raised from the mericarps was divided
into five types, perillaketone, elemicine plus myristicine, shisofuran, piperitenon, and myristicine, and GC–MS analysis of
these Laotian perilla samples showed that they were similar to those of corresponding types of known Japanese perilla strains.
One of the shisofuran-type perilla contained large amounts of putative α-naginatene, which is likely to be an intermediate
of the biosynthesis of naginataketone. The farmers' indifference to the oil type of the leaf seems to leave Laotian perilla
as a good genetic resource for studies of the biosynthesis of oil compounds. 相似文献

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) plays a key role in the inflammatory processes of atherosclerosis. Jaceosidin isolated
from the methanolic extracts of the aerial parts of Artemisia princeps Pampanini cv. Sajabal was tested for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Jaceosidin inhibited the Cu2+-mediated LDL oxidation with IC50 values of 10.2 μM in the thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) assay as well as the macrophage-mediated LDL oxidation.
The antioxidant activities of jaceosidin were exhibited in the conjugated diene production, relative electrophoretic mobility,
and apoB-100 fragmentation on copper-mediated LDL oxidation. Jaceosidin also inhibited the generation of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) concerning in regulation of NF-κB signaling. And jaceosidin inhibited nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activity, nitric
oxide (NO) production, and suppressed expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced
RAW264.7 macrophages. 相似文献

Glutamate is a neurotransmitter in central nervous system. Overexpression of glutamate leads to oxidative stress, resulting in several neurodegenerative disorders that include Alzheimer’s disease. The n-hexane fraction of stems and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction of flowers of Reynoutria sachalinensis provide neuroprotection against glutamate-induced oxidative toxicity in HT22 cells. In this study, 1-decanol (1), β-amyrin (2), dammaran-3β-ol (3), campesterol (4), daucosterol (5), ergosterol peroxide (6), emodin 8-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (7), quercetin (8) and isoquercitrin (9) were isolated from n-hexane fractions of stems and EtOAc fractions of flowers of R. sachalinensis. Their neuroprotective activity was evaluated by MTT assay. 1-Decanol, campesterol, ergosterol peroxide, quercetin and isoquercitrin exhibited neuroprotective activity. These compounds decreased reactive oxygen species level, showed anti-oxidant activity with DPPH radical and in a H2O2 scavenging assay. Therefore, the neuroprotective activity of 1-decanol, campesterol, ergosterol peroxide, quercetin and isoquercitrin are associated with antioxidant activity. 相似文献

Background
The current investigation sought to explore the nature of the secondary metabolites in the algae, Laurencia pacifica.Results
This report details the first isolation of the sesquiterpenes isoaplysin (1), isolaurenisol (2), debromoisolaurinterol (3), debromoaplysinol (4), laur-11-en-10-ol (5), 10α-hydroxyldebromoepiaplysin (6), and the previously unknown 10-bromo-3,7,11,11-tetramethylspiro[5.5]undeca-1,7-dien-3-ol (7) from the algae, Laurencia pacifica. Isoaplysin (1) and debromoaplysinol (4) showed promising levels of growth inhibition against a panel cancer-derived cell lines of colon (HT29), glioblastoma (U87, SJ-G2), breast (MCF-7), ovarian (A2780), lung (H460), skin (A431), prostate (Du145), neuroblastoma (BE2-C), pancreas (MIA), murine glioblastoma (SMA) origin with average GI50 values of 23 and 14 μM.Conclusions
Isoaplysin (1) and debromoaplysinol (4) were up to fourfold more potent in cancer-derived cell populations than in non-tumor-derived normal cells (MCF10A). These analogues are promising candidates for anticancer drug development.

Species identification of five Dendrobium plants was conducted using phylogenetic analysis and the validity of the method was verified. Some Dendrobium plants (Orchidaceae) have been used as herbal medicines but the difficulty in identifying their botanical origin by traditional
methods prevented their full modern utilization. Based on the emerging field of molecular systematics as a powerful classification
tool, a phylogenetic analysis was conducted using sequences of two plastid genes, the maturase-coding gene (matK) and the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-coding gene (rbcL), as DNA barcodes for species identification of Dendrobium plants. We investigated five medicinal Dendrobium species, Dendrobium fimbriatum, D. moniliforme, D. nobile, D. pulchellum, and D. tosaense. The phylogenetic trees constructed from matK data successfully distinguished each species from each other. On the other hand, rbcL, as a single-locus barcode, offered less species discriminating power than matK, possibly due to its being present with little variation. When results using matK sequences of D. officinale that was deposited in the DNA database were combined, D. officinale and D. tosaense showed a close genetic relationship, which brought us closer to resolving the question of their taxonomic identity. Identification
of the plant source as well as the uniformity of the chemical components is critical for the quality control of herbal medicines
and it is important that the processed materials be validated. The methods presented here could be applied to the analysis
of processed Dendrobium plants and be a promising tool for the identification of botanical origins of crude drugs. 相似文献

Abstract
Volatile compounds of Geranium sanguineum and G. robertianum were isolated by hydrodistillation, analyzed in detail by GC and GC/MS and screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity in a microdilution assay. In total, 304 constituents were identified, representing more than 90% of the isolated oils. The volatiles of G. sanguineum have been studied for the first time in this study. The antimicrobial assay showed a strong activity of the G. robertianum oil against Escherichia coli and Aspergillus fumigatus. Micrococcus flavus and A. fumigatus were the most susceptible strains to G. sanguineum oil. 相似文献15.

The antifungal activities of the essential oil from Agastache rugosa and its main component, estragole, combined with ketoconazole, one of the azole antibiotics commonly used to treat infections caused by Trichophyton species, were evaluated in this study. The combined effects were measured by the checkerboard microtiter and the disk diffusion tests, against T. erinacei, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, T. schoenleinii and T. soudanense. Susceptibility of the five Trichophyton species to the oil alone, or ketoconazole alone, differed distinctly. The fractional inhibitory concentration indices (FICI) of ketoconazole combined with estragole or A. rugosa essential oil, against the tested Trichophyton species, were between 0.05 and 0.27, indicating synergistic effects. These drug combinations exhibited the most significant synergism against T. mentagrophytes, with FICIs of 0.05 and 0.09 for estragole and the essential oil fraction from A. rugosa, respectively. Isobolograms based on the data from checkerboard titer tests also indicated significant synergism between ketoconazole and the Agastache oil fraction or estragole, against the Trichophyton species evaluated. Trichophyton susceptibility to ketoconazole was significantly improved by combination with the Agastache rugosa oil fraction or its main component, estragole. 相似文献

A novel gallate of tannin, (−)-epigallocatechin-(2β→O→7′,4β→8′)-epicatechin-3′-O-gallate (8), together with (−)-epicatechin-3-O-gallate (4), (−)-epigallocatechin (5), (−)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (6), and (+)-gallocatechin-(4α→8′)-epigallocatechin (7), were isolated from the tea plant Camellia
sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze var. sinensis (cv., Yabukita). The structure of 8, including stereochemistry, was elucidated by spectroscopic methods and hydrolysis. The compounds, along with commercially
available pyrogallol (1), (+)-catechin (2), and (−)-epicatechin (3), were examined for toxicity towards egg-bearing adults of Caenorhabditis
elegans. The anthelmintic mebendazole (9) was used as a positive control. Neither 2 nor 3 were toxic but the other compounds were toxic in the descending order 8, 7 ≈ 6, 9, 4, 5, 1. The LC50 (96 h) values of 8 and 9 were evaluated as 49 and 334 μmol L−1, respectively. These data show that many green tea polyphenols may be potential anthelmintics. 相似文献

Microtoena patchoulii (Labiatae) is a perennial herb that grows in southern China. In the present study, the sedative activity of the essential oil of the
leaves was evaluated using mice when the volatile oil was administered by inhalation. The inhalation of the oil by mice significantly
reduced the spontaneous motor activity. Fractionation of the oil revealed that the main constituents in the oil were 1-octen-3-ol,
terpinolene, patchouli alcohol, and methyl salicylate. Each 1-octen-3-ol, terpinolene, or patchouli alcohol significantly
reduce the locomotor activity when it was administered singly. However, the essential oil fraction containing both patchouli
alcohol and methyl salicylate did not exhibit any effects. It is suggested that methyl salicylate might negate the sedative
effect of patchouli alcohol, and that the concentration ratios of the compounds in vapor would play important roles as sedatives.
In order to clarify the mechanism of action, the effects of these compounds on caffeine-induced excitation and pentobarbital-induced
elongation of sleeping time in mice were tested. Each 1-octen-3-ol or terpinolene reduced the locomotor activity excited by
caffeine to those of normal levels. Elongation of sleeping time induced by pentobarbital was further elongated by the inhalation
of terpinolene, but not by that of 1-octen-3-ol. It is indicated that terpinolene is a potent suppressor of the central nervous
system. 相似文献

A new C-alkylated flavonoid (5,7-dihydroxy-3′-(4″-acetoxy-3″-methylbutyl)-3,6,4′-trimethoxyflavone (1), along with two known C-alkylated flavonoids (5,7-dihydroxy-3′-(3-hydroxymethylbutyl)-3,6,4′-trimethoxyflavone (2), 5,7,4′-trihydroxy-3′-(3-hyroxymethylbutyl)-3,6-dimethoxyflavone (3) and two new source C-alkylated flavonoids (5,7-dihydroxy-3′-(2-hydroxy-3-methyl-3-butenyl)-3,6,4′-trimethoxyflavone (4), 5,7,4′-trihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxy-3′-isoprenyl-flavone (5) were isolated from the aerial parts of Dodonaea viscosa. The structures of all compounds were established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The isolated
compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on urease and α-chymotrypsin enzyme. All the compounds (1–5) exhibited mild inhibition against urease but remained recessive in case of α-chymotrypsin. 相似文献
