The lectin from the legume Vatairea macrocarpa is a galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine binding protein that induced cellular inflammatory response mediated by resident cells.
This study investigated which inflammatory mediators would be released from lectin-activated cells. The intraperitoneal injection
in rats of the supernatant from cultured macrophages, but not from mast cells, stimulated with lectin induced a time- and
dose-dependent release of a neutrophil chemotactic factor, termed MNCF-VML. Pharmacological modulation with dexamethasone
inhibited both the lectin-induced chemotactic activity in vivo and also the lectin-induced release of MNCF-VML into the supernatant
of cultured macrophages. Cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase metabolites are apparently not involved in the action of this factor
or its release, since indomethacin or MK886 were unable to affect the lectin response. The molecular weight of MNCF-VML was
found to be greater than 5 kDa, which led to the investigation of which cytokine(s) could be involved by the following approaches:
(a) treatment of animals with antiserum to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1, or IL-8 before intraperitoneal
injection of lectin and (b) addition of antiserum to TNF-α, IL-1, or IL-8 to the supernatant of lectin-stimulated macrophages
before intraperitoneal administration. Antiserum to TNF-α, but not IL-1 nor IL-8, inhibited the neutrophil migration induced
either by lectin or MNCF-VML. Our data suggest that neutrophil migration induced by V. macrocarpa lectin occurs via the release of cytokines such as TNF-α by macrophages. Thus, this lectin may represent an important tool
to better understand pathological situations where an excess of leukocytes at inflammatory sites causes tissue injury. 相似文献

Three known monodesmosidic saponins: 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-2,3,16,23,24-pentahydroxyolean-12-ene-28-oic acid, 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl polygalacic acid, and 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-(13)--d-glucopyranosyl polygalacic acid; and two known nonsaponin compounds: a mixed compound of n-tetracosanoic acid (lignoceric acid), n-hexacosanoic acid (cerotic acid), and n-octacosanoic acid, and -monopalmitin; were isolated for the first time from the root of Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC. together with another seven known compounds: platycoside G1 (3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-(16)--d-glucopyranosyl-(16)--d-glucopyranosyl-2,3,16,23,24-pentahydroxyolean-12-ene-28-oic acid 28-O--d-xylopyranosyl-(14)--l-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--l-arabinopyranoside), deapio-platycodin D, Polygalacin D, deapio-platycodin D3, platycoside A, -spinasterol, and -spinasteryl-3-O--d-glucopyranoside. Alkaline hydrolysis of platycoside G1 afforded a new monodesmosidic prosaponin: 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-(16)--d-glucopyranosyl-(16)--d-glucopyranosyl-2,3,16,23,24-pentahydroxyolean-12-ene-28-oic acid. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of their spectral data and chemical evidence. 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

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

The three-dimensional structure of a natural product, tuguaconitine (C23H35NO7) from Aconitumrn sibiricum was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound was recrystallized from a methanol solution into orthorhombic crystal system, with a = 18.093(4), b = 12.075(11), c = 9.824(4) A, Dm = 1.35, Dx= 1.354 g/cm3, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), and Z=4. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by least-squares procedure to the final R value of 0.046 for 1495 observed reflections with I > or = 2sigma(I). Aconitines are diterpene alkaloid composed of six rings. In the molecule, two 6-membered rings have stable chair conformation, but other two 6-membered rings have unstable boat conformation because of their bonding strain and hydrogen bonds. Based on the three-dimensional structure of tuguaconitine, we suggest another 2D-diagram for the compound which is far better in imagination of the spatial shape of the molecule than the ordinary one. 相似文献

Summary Little information has so far been reported regarding the antiproliferative properties of Aconitum alkaloids against human tumor cells despite of their intense toxicities. In the present study, the antitumor properties and
radiation sensitizing effects were investigated by various types of novel derivatives prepared from Aconitum alkaloids. The antitumor properties were investigated against human tumor cell lines, A172, A549, HeLa and Raji, respectively,
by a cell growth, a clonogenic assay, cell cycle distribution, cell cycle related molecules and γH2AX expression. The novel
compounds derived from C20-diterupenoid alkaloids showed a significantly suppressive effect in all cell lines. In contrast, natural C19-norditerpenoid alkaloids and their derivatives showed either no effect or only a slight effect. One of the compounds also
showed radiosensitizing properties on A549 cells. These effects are not related to either the cell cycle distribution, the
enhancement of apoptosis or the γH2AX expression. Novel derivatives prepared from Aconitum alkaloids, not but natural alkaloids, clearly showed anti-proliferative activity in human tumor cell lines. 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

As part of our systematic study of Korean toxic mushrooms, we have investigated the constituents of Amanita subjunquillea. The column chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract of A. subjunquillea led to the isolation of four ergosterols, two cerebrosides and four cyclopeptides. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods to be (22E,24R)-5alpha,8alpha-epidioxyergosta-6,9,22-triene-3beta-ol (1), (22E,24R)-5alpha,8alpha-epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3beta-ol (2), (22E,24R)-5alpha,6alpha-epoxyergosta-8,22-diene-3beta,7beta-diol (3), (24S)-ergost-7-en-3beta-ol (4), 8,9-dihydrosoyacerebroside I (5), soyacerebroside I (6), beta-amanitin (7), phalloin (8), alpha-amanitin (9), and phalloidin (10). The compounds 1-6 and 8 were isolated for the first time from this mushroom. The isolated compounds were evaluated for the cytotoxicity against A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2 and HCT15 cells. Compound 9 exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2 and HCT15 with ED(50) values of 1.47, 0.26, 1.57 and 1.32 microM, respectively. 相似文献
