Phylogeny of Valerianaceae based on matK and ITS markers, with reference to matK individual polymorphism. (1/6)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The monophyly of Valerianaceae and the precise delimitation of the family are not totally resolved. Our knowledge on the phylogeny of the group is only partial: on a morphological basis, some contradicting taxonomic proposals have been published, which demonstrates the difficulties in establishing a natural classification of the family and especially in proposing a relevant treatment of the large genus Valeriana. The aims of this study are to contribute to the phylogeny and generic delineation of the Valerianaceae on the basis of molecular data. METHODS: A cladistic analysis of the sequences of one plastid (matK) and one nuclear (ITS) molecular marker was carried out, both individually and in combination. KEY RESULTS: The results of the analyses of both regions confirm that the family is monophyletic, with the exclusion of Triplostegia. The tribe Patrinieae is monophyletic, and the tribe Valerianeae is also a natural group. Two of the subtribes of Valerianeae, Fediinae and Centranthinae, are also monophyletic, with the exclusion of the genus Plectritis from Fediinae. The subtribe Valerianinae, on the other hand, is paraphyletic. CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirm, for the first time on a molecular basis, the suggested paraphyly of Valeriana in its present circumscription, with profound nomenclatural and taxonomic implications. The correlation between molecular phylogeny and biogeography is close. In the course of the plastid DNA sequencing, a polymorphism concerning the matK gene was found, a fact that should be carefully evaluated in phylogenetic analyses. (+info)Inhibitory effect of coumarins from Weigela subsessilis on low density lipoprotein oxidation. (2/6)
Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) is thought to be a major factor in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. In the present study, we found that coumarins isolated from Weigela subsessilis (Caprifoliaceae) inhibited LDL oxidation mediated by either catalytic copper ions (Cu2+) or free radicals generated with the azo compound 2,2'-azobis-(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride (AAPH). Of the coumarins tested, scopoletin (1) and cleomiscosin A (2) increased the lag time of conjugated diene formation and inhibited the generation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, it was found that compounds 1 and 2 had the capacity to protect the fragmentation of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100). These results suggest that W. subsessilis and its active coumarins, 1 and 2, may have a role to play in preventing the LDL oxidation involved in atherogenesis.

Nardostachys jatamansi (NJ) belonging to the Valerianaceae family has been used as a remedy for gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases for decades. However, the potential for NJ to ameliorate alcoholic chronic pancreatitis (ACP) is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the inhibitory effects of NJ on ACP. C57black/6 mice received ethanol injections intraperitoneally for 3 weeks against a background of cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. During ACP, NJ was ad libitum administrated orally with water. After 3 weeks of treatment, the pancreas was harvested for histological examination. NJ treatment increased the pancreatic acinar cell survival (confirmed by amylase level testing) and reduced collagen deposition and pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) activation. In addition, NJ treatment reduced the activation but not death of PSC. In conclusion, our results suggest that NJ attenuated ACP through the inhibition of PSC activation. (+info)Caprifoliaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes shrubs, trees, and climbers. It was previously known as Honeysuckle family, as it includes the genera containing common honeysuckles (Lonicera spp.). The family Caprifoliaceae contains around 90 genera and 2000 species of plants, including well-known garden plants such as elderberries (Sambucus spp.), valerians (Valeriana spp.), and snowberries (Symphoricarpos spp.).
The plants in Caprifoliaceae are characterized by their opposite leaves, typically with entire margins, and their flowers, which are usually tubular or bell-shaped. The fruits of these plants can be berries, drupes, or capsules. Many species in this family have medicinal properties, while others are cultivated for their ornamental value.
It's worth noting that recent phylogenetic studies have led to a reclassification of some plant families, and Caprifoliaceae is now sometimes included as part of the larger family Dipsacaceae.
Adoxaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes several genera, such as Adoxa, Sinadoxa, and Viburnum. This family was previously classified under Caprifoliaceae or Saxifragaceae, but it has been recognized as a distinct family in more recent classifications due to molecular evidence.
Plants in this family are typically woody shrubs or herbaceous perennials, with simple, opposite leaves and small flowers arranged in clusters or cymes. The fruits of Adoxaceae plants can be berries, drupes, or capsules, depending on the genus and species.
Some well-known examples of plants in this family include:
* Garden viburnums (Viburnum spp.), which are popular ornamental shrubs with showy flowers and attractive fruit.
* Moschatel (Adoxa moschatellina), a low-growing herbaceous perennial with small, fragrant flowers and fleshy fruits.
* Squiworm (Viburnum lantana), a deciduous shrub with clusters of white or pink flowers and blue-black berries.
Overall, Adoxaceae is a relatively small family of plants that are found primarily in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
"Viburnum" is not a medical term, but a genus of shrubs and small trees that belong to the Adoxaceae family. These plants are commonly known as "viburnums," and they have various uses in horticulture due to their attractive flowers, fruits, and foliage.
While there may be some medicinal uses for certain species of Viburnum, it is not a term that would typically appear in a medical context or definition. If you're looking for information about the medicinal properties of specific plants within the Viburnum genus, I would recommend consulting a reliable source on herbal medicine or speaking with a healthcare professional who has expertise in this area.
"Lonicera" is a genus of shrubs and climbers commonly known as honeysuckles. It does not have a specific medical definition, but some species of Lonicera are used in traditional medicine in various cultures. For example, Lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle) is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. However, it's important to note that the use of these plants as medicine should be under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as they can also have side effects and interact with other medications.
"Symphoricarpos" is not a medical term, but a botanical name. It refers to a genus of shrubs in the honeysuckle family, also known as "coralberry" or "snowberry." These plants produce small, round, and often colorful berries that can be mistaken for edible fruit, but are generally considered toxic and should not be consumed.
While "Symphoricarpos" itself is not a medical term, certain parts of the plant may have medicinal uses. For example, some indigenous peoples have used infusions of the bark to treat skin conditions or as a laxative. However, it's important to note that these uses are not well-studied and should only be attempted under the guidance of a knowledgeable healthcare provider.
