Dictamnus
Limonoids from the root of Dictamnus radicis cortex. (1/5)
Chemical investigation of the roots of Dictamnus radicis Cortex led to the isolation of a new limonoid isodictamdiol (1) and a known dictamdiol (2), the first 5S/9S-type degraded limonoids, together with other six known limonoids (3-8). The chemical structures were identified on the basis of modern spectroscopic methods, including IR, MS, NMR ((1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, (1)H-(1)H COSY, HMQC, HMBC, NOESY). Additionally, the absolute configurations of limonoid isodictamdiol (1) and dictamdiol (2) were separately elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as their circular dichroism spectra. Furthermore, all compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against three bacterial cultures. (+info)Effects of a Dictamnus dasycarpus T. extract on allergic models in mice. (2/5)
The anti-allergic effect of a 70% ethanol extract from Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz (DDT) was studied in mice. DDT at doses of 200 and 500 mg/kg inhibited the systemic anaphylactic shock induced by compound 48/80 in a dose-dependent manner. It also inhibited dose-dependently the scratching behavior induced by compound 48/80, histamine and serotonin. An increase in the vascular permeability induced by compound 48/80, histamine and serotonin was also inhibited by DDT. In an in vitro study, DDT inhibited the histamine released from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by compound 48/80. It seems likely from these findings that DDT was effective in antagonizing certain pharmacological effects induced by compound 48/80 that occurred via both histamine and serotonin released from mast cells. In conclusion, DDT may be effective in the relief of symptoms of allergic atopic dermatitis and other allergy-related diseases.

(3/5)
Fraxinellone is formed by the natural degradation of limonoids isolated from the root bark of Dictamnus dasycarpus. Fraxinellone has been reported to possess neuroprotective and vasorelaxing activities, but the effects and the mechanism of fraxinellone in inflammation have not been fully characterized. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory effect of fraxinellone was evaluated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Fraxinellone was found to inhibit LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production, and to reduce the LPS-induced expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) at the mRNA and protein levels in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, fraxinellone significantly attenuated LPS-induced DNA binding activity and the transcription activity of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). Consistent with these findings, pretreatment with fraxinellone significantly suppressed the LPS-stimulated phosphorylation of inhibitory kappa B-alpha (IkappaB-alpha) and the subsequent translocation of p65 to the nucleus. Fraxinellone also suppressed the IkappaB kinase (IKK) activity and the phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-related kinase (ERK1/2), whereas the phosphorylations of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK1/2) and p38 were unaffected. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of fraxinellone are related to the down-regulations of iNOS and COX-2 due to NF-kappaB inhibition through the negative regulations of IKK and ERK1/2 phosphorylations in RAW 264.7 cells.

(+info)"Dictamnus" is a genus name in botany, which refers to the plant species commonly known as "burning bush" or "dittany." The most common species is Dictamnus albus. It is a perennial herb that belongs to the family Rutaceae (the rue family). This plant is native to southern Europe and parts of Asia, and it has been used in traditional medicine for various purposes, such as treating skin conditions, digestive issues, and menstrual problems. However, it's important to note that the use of this plant in modern medicine is not well-studied, and its safety and efficacy are not established.
Toxicodendron dermatitis is a type of contact dermatitis that results from exposure to plants belonging to the Toxicodendron genus, which includes poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. The reaction is caused by an oily resin called urushiol found in these plants. When the oil comes into contact with the skin, it can cause an allergic reaction that leads to a red, itchy rash, often with blisters or weeping lesions.
The rash usually appears within 12-72 hours after exposure and can last for several weeks. The severity of the reaction varies from person to person, depending on their sensitivity to urushiol and the amount of contact they had with the plant. In addition to direct skin contact, urushiol can also be spread through secondary sources such as clothing, pets, or tools that have come into contact with the plant.
Prevention measures include avoiding contact with Toxicodendron plants, wearing protective clothing and gloves when working in areas where these plants may be present, and washing skin and clothing thoroughly with soap and water after exposure. In some cases, medical treatment may be necessary to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
