Dennettine, a new 2,6-dimethoxychromone and three known phenanthrene alkaloids (uvariopsine, stephenanthrine and argentinine) in addition to the phenolic and known compound vanillin were isolated from the roots of Dennettia tripetala. Their structures were determined by physical and spectroscopical one dimensional (1D) and 2D-NMR analysis, including heteronuclear multiple bond correlation and nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy. (+info)Inhibitory activities of three annonaceous acetogenins on NADH oxidase of chicken liver mitochondria. (4/50)
Annonaceous acetogenins (ACG) are natural products found in the plant family Annonaceae and which strongly inhibited mitochondrial complex I. The inhibition of NADH oxidase of chicken liver mitochondria by three different structural ACG was studied here, and ACG was shown to have potent inhibitory activities similar to rotenone for NADH oxidase. The IC(50) values indicated that bis-adjacent tetrahydrofuran (THF) type squamocin C was more potent than non-adjacent bis-THF type squamostatin B, and the latter was more potent than non-THF type compound 1 in the assay. The roles of structural factors of ACG such as the terminal gamma-lactone, the features of other ring moieties and hydroxyl groups, as well as the alkyl chain were simply discussed in this study. (+info)Effects of ylang-ylang essential oil on the relaxation of rat bladder muscle in vitro and white rabbit bladder in vivo. (5/50)
Current and primary treatment modality in overactive bladder includes the administration of anticholinergics. The demand for new agents has been rising since anticholinergics have proven to come with many side effects. This study was designed to investigate the effects of ylang-ylang essential oil (YYEO) on the relaxation of urinary bladder muscle in vitro and in vivo. Effects of YYEO were assessed on resting tension, and electrical field stimulation- and various drug-induced contraction in vitro by checking the isometric tension changes of muscle strips and same procedures were repeated in the presence of methylene blue, Nw-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME), or N-ethylmaleimide, and in vivo. YYEO decreased significantly the contractility of strips. There was no statistically significant difference between the treated group only with YYEO and the pretreated group with YYEO and methylene blue or L-NAME. When N-ethylmaleimide was employed, there was a statistically significant decrease in the rate of contraction. In vivo studies showed the same results compared with in vitro study. The results of this study indicate that YYEO has a relaxing effect on the bladder, and such mechanism is thought to be brought about by a pathway mediated by c-AMP.

Chemical structural elucidation of epoxyrollins A and B, representatives of biosynthetic precursors of tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran annonaceous acetogenins, is described. These chemical structures were diepoxyreticanin 1 (4) and diepoxymuricanin A (6) by a (13)C-NMR and mass spectral study of the natural and synthetic sample data. (+info)Historical biogeography of two cosmopolitan families of flowering plants: Annonaceae and Rhamnaceae. (7/50)
Annonaceae are a pantropically distributed family found predominantly in rainforests, so they are megathermal taxa, whereas Rhamnaceae are a cosmopolitan family that tend to be found in xeric regions and may be classified as mesothermal. Phylogenetic analyses of these families are presented based on rbcL and trnL-F plastid DNA sequences. Likelihood ratio tests revealed rate heterogeneity in both phylogenetic trees and they were therefore made ultrametric using non-parametric rate smoothing and penalized likelihood. Divergence times were then estimated using fossil calibration points. The historical biogeography of these families that are species rich in different biomes is discussed and compared with other published reconstructions. Rhamnaceae and most lineages within Annonaceae are too young to have had their distribution patterns influenced by break-up of previously connected Gondwanan landmasses. Contrasts in the degree of geographical structure between these two families may be explained by differences in age and dispersal capability. In both groups, long-distance dispersal appears to have played a more significant role in establishing modern patterns than had previously been assumed. Both families also contain examples of recent diversification of species-rich lineages. An understanding of the processes responsible for shaping the distribution patterns of these families has contributed to our understanding of the historical assembly of the biomes that they occupy. (+info)Induction of leukemia cell apoptosis by cheliensisin A involves down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression. (8/50)
AIM: To investigate the apoptosis-inducing effect of cheliensisin A (GC-51), a novel styryl-lactone isolated from Goniothalamus cheliensis, on human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells and the mechanism of action involved. METHODS: Apoptotic cell death was determined by morphological examination and DNA agarose gel electrophoresis. The activity of caspase-3 was assessed using Western blotting and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax genes was analyzed using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. RESULTS: GC-51 significantly inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells with an IC50 of 2.4+/-0.2 micromol/L and effectively induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Exposure of HL-60 cells to 10 micromol/L GC-51 for 8 h resulted in approximately 53% of the cells undergoing apoptosis. Caspase-3 was activated in GC-51-treated cells, which was manifested by the appearance of the 17 kDa active form of caspase-3 and the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Meanwhile, GC-51 markedly reduced the expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 and increased the expression of the pro-apoptotic gene Bax. The apoptosis-inducing effect of GC-51 was cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) dependent because PKA, but not the protein kinase C, specific inhibitor H-89, blocked the induction of apoptosis by GC-51 in HL-60 cells. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate that GC-51 effectively induces apoptosis in HL-60 cells and that this effect is PKA-dependent and involves the downregulation of Bcl-2 expression and the activation of caspase-3. (+info)Annonaceae is a family of flowering plants, also known as custard apple family. It includes several genera and species of tropical trees and shrubs that are native to the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The plants in this family are characterized by their large, often fragrant flowers and fleshy fruits. Some of the commercially important crops in this family include cherimoya, soursop, custard apple, and pawpaw. Many species of Annonaceae have also been studied for their potential medicinal properties, including the presence of alkaloids with anticancer and anti-malarial activities.
"Annona" is a genus of plants in the custard apple family, Annonaceae. It includes several species that produce edible fruit, such as Annona squamosa (sugar-apple or sweetsop), Annona reticulata (custard apple or bullock's heart), and Annona cherimola (cherimoya). These fruits are native to tropical regions of the Americas and have been cultivated for their sweet, aromatic flesh.
In a medical context, "Annona" is not commonly used as a term. However, some research has investigated the potential medicinal properties of compounds found in Annona species. For example, acetogenins found in the seeds and bark of certain Annona species have been studied for their potential anti-cancer, insecticidal, and anti-malarial properties.
It's worth noting that while some research has suggested that these compounds may have therapeutic potential, more studies are needed to confirm their safety and efficacy in humans. Additionally, it's important to note that the seeds and bark of Annona species can be toxic if ingested in large quantities, so they should not be consumed without medical supervision.
"Xylopia" is not a term that has a specific medical definition. However, it is the genus name for a group of plants that include the black pepper and cubeba species. The fruits and seeds of these plants have been used in traditional medicine for various purposes such as treating digestive issues, respiratory problems, and fevers.
In modern medical contexts, "xylopia" may be mentioned in relation to herbal remedies or botanical studies, but it is not a term that would be commonly used by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting.
Acetogenins are a type of compound that are produced by certain plants, particularly those in the family Annonaceae. They are known for their potential medicinal properties, including anti-cancer, anti-malarial, and insecticidal activities. Acetogenins have a complex structure, consisting of a long chain of carbon atoms with various functional groups attached. They work by inhibiting the function of certain enzymes that are necessary for the survival of cancer cells and other target organisms.
"Polyalthia" is a genus of flowering plants in the family Annonaceae, which is known for its tropical trees and shrubs. It's not a medical term, but a taxonomic category used in the classification of plants. The plants in this genus are native to Southeast Asia, Australia, and Pacific islands. They typically produce large, fleshy fruits that contain numerous seeds. Some species of Polyalthia have been used in traditional medicine in various cultures, although more research is needed to confirm their medicinal properties and safety.
Aporphine is a type of chemical compound called alkaloids, which are found in certain plants. Aporphines have a specific chemical structure and can have various pharmacological effects. They have been studied for their potential medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and antiasthmatic activities. Some aporphine alkaloids have also been found to have psychoactive effects and are used in traditional medicine in some cultures. However, more research is needed to fully understand the therapeutic potential and safety of aporphines.
I apologize for any confusion, but "Rhamnaceae" is not a medical term, but a taxonomic category in biology. It refers to a family of flowering plants known as the Buckthorn family. This family includes around 50 genera and about 900 species of trees, shrubs, and lianas (woody vines) that are found throughout the world, particularly in temperate and subtropical regions.
Some members of this family have been used in traditional medicine, but it is important to note that the use of botanicals for medicinal purposes should always be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional, as they can interact with other medications or have potential side effects.
"Rollinia" is a term used in botanical medicine to refer to a genus of plants native to the Americas, particularly in tropical regions. The fruits of these plants are often used in traditional medicine. The most well-known species is Rollinia mucosa, also known as "mamoncillo de playon" or "biriba," which bears an edible fruit with a white, juicy pulp that is said to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. However, it's important to note that while some parts of these plants have been used in traditional medicine, there is limited scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness or safety for medical use. Therefore, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before using any plant or herbal remedy for medicinal purposes.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Plant Bark" is not a term with a specific medical definition. In general, the bark refers to the outermost covering of a tree or other plant, which serves as protection and provides a barrier against external threats. It is composed of layers including the inner bark (phloem), which transports nutrients throughout the plant, and the outer bark (periderm), which is made up of dead cells that form a protective layer.
While some plants or plant parts do have medicinal properties and are used in various forms of traditional or alternative medicine, "Plant Bark" by itself does not have any specific medical connotations. If you're referring to a specific type of plant bark with potential medicinal uses, please provide more details so I can give a more accurate response.
