Isolation and structure determination of bioactive isoflavones from callus culture of Dipteryx odorata. (1/10)
Crude extracts of callus and roots of Dipteryx odorata were analyzed by HPLC to detect and quantify isoflavone contents. Based on spectroscopic and X-ray crystallography data the structures of two isoflavones were elucidated as 7-hydroxy-4',6-dimethoxyisoflavone and 3',7-dihydroxy-4',6-dimethoxyisoflavone. The production of dry biomass of 7-hydroxy-4',6-dimethoxyisoflavone in cultured callus was 4.12 mg/g, approximately eleven fold higher than the amount accumulated in roots of D. odorata wild-growing plants. The 7-hydroxy-4',6-dimethoxyisoflavone was effective against glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from Trypanosoma cruzi. This is the first report on those bioactive isoflavones accumulated in callus of D. odorata.

The endophytic bruchid pest Callosobruchus maculatus causes severe damage to storage cowpea seeds, leading to economical losses. For this reason the use of alpha-amylase inhibitors to interfere with the pest digestion process has been an interesting alternative to control bruchids. With this aim, alpha-amylase inhibitors from baru seeds (Dipteryx alata) were isolated by affinity chromatographic procedures, causing enhanced inhibition of C. maculatus and Anthonomus grandis alpha-amylases. To attempt further purification, this fraction was applied onto a reversed-phase HPLC column, generating four peaks with remarkable inhibition toward C. maculatus alpha-amylases. SDS-PAGE and MALDI-ToF analysis identified major proteins of approximately 5.0, 11.0, 20.0 and 55 kDa that showed alpha-amylase inhibition. Results of in vivo bioassays using artificial seeds containing 1.0% (w/w) of baru crude extract revealed 40% cowpea weevil larvae mortality. These results provide evidence that several alpha-amylase inhibitors classes, with biotechnological potential, can be isolated from a single plant species.

(+info)'Dipteryx' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes several species of large trees that are native to tropical regions of the Americas. Some of these species are known for producing valuable hardwood timber, such as the Brazilian rosewood (Dipteryx odorata) and the bastard rosewood (Dipteryx panamensis).
The name 'Dipteryx' comes from the Greek words "di" meaning two and "pterux" meaning wing, which refers to the distinctive shape of the flowers' petals. The trees in this genus are also known for producing large, hard-shelled seeds called "tonka beans," which contain a chemical compound called coumarin that has been used in perfumes, food flavorings, and traditional medicine.
However, it is important to note that 'Dipteryx' is not a medical term or concept, but rather a scientific name for a group of plants. If you have any specific questions about the medicinal properties or uses of these plants, I would recommend consulting with a healthcare professional or a trained herbalist.
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.
