Diversity of antimicrobial peptides and their mechanisms of action. (1/121)
Antimicrobial peptides encompass a wide variety of structural motifs. Many peptides have alpha-helical structures. The majority of these peptides are cationic and amphipathic but there are also hydrophobic alpha-helical peptides which possess antimicrobial activity. In addition, some beta-sheet peptides have antimicrobial activity and even antimicrobial alpha-helical peptides which have been modified to possess a beta-structure retain part of their antimicrobial activity. There are also antimicrobial peptides which are rich in a certain specific amino acid such as Trp or His. In addition, antimicrobial peptides exist with thio-ether rings, which are lipopeptides or which have macrocyclic Cys knots. In spite of the structural diversity, a common feature of the cationic antimicrobial peptides is that they all have an amphipathic structure which allows them to bind to the membrane interface. Indeed, most antimicrobial peptides interact with membranes and may be cytotoxic as a result of disturbance of the bacterial inner or outer membranes. Alternatively, a necessary but not sufficient property of these peptides may be to be able to pass through the membrane to reach a target inside the cell. The interaction of these peptides with biological membranes is not just a function of the peptide but is also modulated by the lipid components of the membrane. It is not likely that this diverse group of peptides has a single mechanism of action, but interaction of the peptides with membranes is an important requirement for most, if not all, antimicrobial peptides. (+info)Cariogenic actinomyces identified with a beta-glucosidase-dependent green color reaction to Gardenia jasminoides extract. (2/121)
The oral bacteria Actinomyces naeslundii and Actinomyces viscosus are known to contribute to the initiation and progression of human dental caries, especially root caries. We report that both A. naeslundii and A. viscosus react with a component in the Gardenia jasminoides extract to produce a distinct green product. This green color reaction was found to be dependent on the bacterial beta-glucosidase. The reaction is specific for cariogenic actinomyces, and it can detect as few as 10(4) cells of A. naeslundii and A. viscosus per ml. (+info)Two novel glycosides from the fruits of Morinda citrifolia (noni) inhibit AP-1 transactivation and cell transformation in the mouse epidermal JB6 cell line. (3/121)
The fruit juice of Morinda citrifolia (noni), a plant originally grown in the Hawaiian and Tahitian islands, has long been used by islanders to treat diseases, including cancer. Two novel glycosides, 6-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-1-O-octanoyl-beta-D-glucopyranose and asperulosidic acid, extracted from the juice of noni fruits, were used to examine their effects on 12-O-tedtradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)- and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced AP-1 transactivation and cell transformation in mouse epidermal JB6 cells. The results indicated that both compounds were effective in suppressing TPA- or EGF-induced cell transformation and associated AP-1 activity. TPA- or EGF-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinases or p38 kinases, was also blocked by the compounds, indicating that c-Jun N-terminal kinases were critical in mediating TPA- or EGF-induced AP-1 activity and subsequent cell transformation in JB6 cells. (+info)Auxin herbicides induce H(2)O(2) overproduction and tissue damage in cleavers (Galium aparine L.). (4/121)
The phytotoxic effects of auxin herbicides, including the quinoline carboxylic acids quinmerac and quinclorac, the benzoic acid dicamba and the pyridine carboxylic acid picloram, were studied in relation to changes in phytohormonal ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) levels and the production of H(2)O(2) in cleavers (Galium aparine). When plants were root-treated with 10 microM quinmerac, ethylene synthesis was stimulated in the shoot tissue, accompanied by increases in immunoreactive levels of ABA and its precursor xanthoxal. It has been demonstrated that auxin herbicide-stimulated ethylene triggers ABA biosynthesis. The time-course and dose-response of ABA accumulation closely correlated with reductions in stomatal aperture and CO(2) assimilation and increased levels of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), deoxyribonuclease (DNase) activity and chlorophyll loss. The latter parameters were used as sensitive indicators for the progression of tissue damage. On a shoot dry weight basis, DNase activity and H(2)O(2) levels increased up to 3-fold, relative to the control. Corresponding effects were obtained using auxin herbicides from the other chemical classes or when ABA was applied exogenously. It is hypothesized, that auxin herbicides stimulate H(2)O(2) generation which contributes to the induction of cell death in Galium leaves. This overproduction of H(2)O(2) could be triggered by the decline of photosynthetic activity, due to ABA-mediated stomatal closure. (+info)Biosynthesis and insecticidal properties of plant cyclotides: the cyclic knotted proteins from Oldenlandia affinis. (5/121)
Several members of the Rubiaceae and Violaceae families produce a series of cyclotides or macrocyclic peptides of 29-31 amino acids with an embedded cystine knot. We aim to understand the mechanism of synthesis of cyclic peptides in plants and have isolated a cDNA clone that encodes the cyclotide kalata B1 as well as three other clones for related cyclotides from the African plant Oldenlandia affinis. The cDNA clones encode prepropeptides with a 20-aa signal sequence, an N-terminal prosequence of 46-68 amino acids and one, two, or three cyclotide domains separated by regions of about 25 aa. The corresponding cyclotides have been isolated from plant material, indicating that the cyclotide domains are excised and cyclized from all four predicted precursor proteins. The exact processing site is likely to lie on the N-terminal side of the strongly conserved GlyLeuPro or SerLeuPro sequence that flanks both sides of the cyclotide domain. Cyclotides have previously been assigned an antimicrobial function; here we describe a potent inhibitory effect on the growth and development of larvae from the Lepidopteran species Helicoverpa punctigera. (+info)Constituents of the roots of Rubia yunnanensis. (6/121)
Four new naphthohydroquinones, rubinaphthins A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4), together with 11 known compounds were isolated and characterized from the roots of Rubia yunnanensis. The structures of 1-4 were elucidated by spectral analysis and chemical transformation. (+info)Nucleotide sequence diversity at the methionine synthase locus in endangered Dunnia sinensis (Rubiaceae): an evaluation of the positive selection hypothesis. (7/121)
Methionine synthase is a key enzyme for the synthesis of the aspartate-derived methionine, the immediate precursor of S-adenosyl-methionine, which has been illustrated to be associated with plant growth and pathogen interactions. In this study we tested the positive selection hypothesis of molecular evolution of the methionine synthase gene in Dunnia sinensis. In the entire sample of 87 sequences, 22 haplotypes of introns and 16 haplotypes of exons were identified. An excess of polymorphism over the neutral expectation for the class of unique nucleotide polymorphisms was observed in both exon and intron sequences. Ten replacement substitutions versus six synonymous substitutions among lineages, although nonsignificant, revealed that some advantageous mutants might have been favored. The distribution of d(N)/d(S) > 1 at nodes between closely related haplotypes in the gene network also indicated weak and variable positive selection. Nevertheless, low levels of genetic diversity in exons (theta; = 0.0052) and introns (theta; = 0.0070) of the methionine synthase gene of the outcrossing Dunnia were also attributed to the endangered status of the species. The atpB-rbcL intergenic spacer of cpDNA and the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer of mtDNA were used to discern the relative effectiveness of natural selection from intrinsic evolutionary forces. The low levels of nucleotide polymorphisms in both organelle spacers and the significant population differentiation reflected the effect of population-species history and demography. Two major lineages of the methionine synthase gene genealogy were recovered corresponding to two geographic regions, a result that was consistent with organelle phylogenies. Both past fragmentation and recent habitat disturbance causing complete bottlenecks may have resulted in population decline and geographic isolation and may have led to the depletion of genetic variation at loci in nuclear and organelle genomes. (+info)Iridoids and anthraquinones from the Malaysian medicinal plant, Saprosma scortechinii (Rubiaceae). (8/121)
A further investigation of the leaves and stems of Saprosma scortechinii afforded 13 compounds, of which 10 are new compounds. These were elucidated as the bis-iridoid glucosides, saprosmosides G (1) and H (2), the iridoid glucoside, 6-O-epi-acetylscandoside (3), and the anthraquinones, 1-methoxy-3-hydroxy-2-carbomethoxy-9,10-anthraquinone (4), 1-methoxy-3-hydroxy-2-carbomethoxy-9,10-anthraquinone 3-O-beta-primeveroside (5), 1,3-dihydroxy-2-carbomethoxy-9,10-anthraquinone 3-O-beta-primeveroside (6), 1,3,6-trihydroxy-2-methoxymethyl-9,10-anthraquinone (7), 1-methoxy-3,6-dihydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-9,10-anthraquinone (8), 1,3,6-trihydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-9,10-anthraquinone 3-O-beta-primeveroside (9), and 3,6-dihydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-9,10-anthraquinone (10). Structure assignments for all compounds were established by means of mass and NMR spectroscopies, chemical methods, and comparison with published data. The new anthraquinones were derivatives of munjistin and lucidin. (+info)Rubiaceae is not a medical term, but a taxonomic category in botany. It refers to the family of flowering plants that includes more than 13,500 species, distributed across approximately 600 genera. Some well-known members of this family include coffee (Coffea arabica), gardenias (Gardenia jasminoides), and madder (Rubia tinctorum).
In a medical context, certain plants from the Rubiaceae family have been used in traditional medicine for various purposes. For example:
* Coffee (Coffea arabica) beans are used to prepare caffeinated beverages that can help with alertness and concentration.
* Gardenia fruits and flowers have been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat anxiety, insomnia, and inflammation.
* Madder root (Rubia tinctorum) has been used as a dye and in traditional medicine to treat skin conditions and digestive disorders.
However, it's important to note that the medicinal use of plants from this family should be based on scientific evidence and under the guidance of healthcare professionals, as some of these plants can have side effects or interact with medications.
"Psychotria" is a genus of flowering plants in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. It includes over 1,000 species, many of which are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Some species of Psychotria contain psychoactive compounds, such as Psychotria viridis and Psychotria carthagenensis, which are used in traditional Amazonian shamanic practices like ayahuasca. However, it is important to note that these plants can be dangerous if misused or taken without proper knowledge and guidance.
Therefore, the medical definition of "Psychotria" would refer to a genus of plants with various species, some of which have psychoactive properties and potential medicinal uses, but also carry risks and should only be used under expert supervision.
"Coffea" is the genus name for the Coffea plant, which belongs to the Rubiaceae family. This plant is native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia, and it is widely cultivated for its seeds, commonly known as coffee beans. These beans are used to produce a popular beverage called coffee, which contains caffeine, a stimulant drug that affects the central nervous system.
Coffee has been consumed for centuries and is one of the most traded commodities in the world. It contains several bioactive compounds, including caffeine, chlorogenic acids, diterpenes, and polyphenols, which have been associated with various health benefits, such as improved cognitive function, increased alertness, and reduced risk of certain diseases like type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease. However, excessive consumption of coffee can lead to adverse effects, including insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, and rapid heart rate.
It is worth noting that the term "Coffea" refers specifically to the plant genus, while "coffee" refers to the beverage produced from its seeds.
I apologize for any confusion, but "Melastomataceae" is not a medical term. It is a taxonomic category in botany, referring to the Melastomataceae family of plants, also known as the melastome or blueberry family. This family includes around 400 genera and 5,000 species of flowering plants, many of which are found in tropical regions around the world.
If you have any questions related to medical terminology or concepts, I would be happy to help. Please provide me with more information so that I can better assist you.
"Hedyotis" is a term that refers to a genus of flowering plants in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. It includes around 300 species, many of which are found in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, and America. Some of these plants have been used in traditional medicine, particularly in China and India.
However, it's important to note that "Hedyotis" is not a medical term or concept. It is a botanical name for a group of plants that may have various medicinal properties, but the specific uses and effects depend on the individual species and their active compounds. Therefore, any medical definition would need to be more specific and refer to a particular plant or compound within the genus.
"Rubia" is not a term commonly used in medical definitions. It may refer to the genus name for the madder plant family (Rubiaceae), some species of which contain a compound called alizarin that has been used historically in medicine as a dye and a treatment for various skin conditions. However, it is not a term used in modern medical terminology.
Cyclotides are a group of naturally occurring cyclic peptides that contain a head-to-tail cyclized structure and a conserved cystine knot motif. They are produced by plants, particularly those in the Rubiaceae family, as a defense mechanism against herbivores and pathogens.
Cyclotides have unique structural features, including a circular arrangement of amino acids and a knotted pattern of disulfide bonds, which contribute to their stability and resistance to degradation. These properties make them attractive candidates for drug development and therapeutic applications.
In addition to their potential use as drugs, cyclotides have also been studied for their potential as insecticides, antimicrobial agents, and anti-cancer therapies. They have been shown to have potent activity against a variety of targets, including cancer cells, bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Overall, the unique structural and functional properties of cyclotides make them an exciting area of research in the fields of medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and drug discovery.
I apologize for any confusion, but "Flacourtiaceae" is not a medical term. It is a taxonomic category in botany, specifically a family of flowering plants. Flacourtiaceae includes around 80 genera and 1,200 species of trees, shrubs, and lianas found primarily in the tropics. The plants in this family have simple, alternate leaves and small, usually greenish or white flowers. Some examples of genera within Flacourtiaceae are Casearia, Xylosma, and Hoecama.
If you have a medical term that you would like me to define or provide more information about, please let me know!
"Oldenlandia" is not a term that has a specific medical definition. It is a genus of flowering plants in the coffee family, Rubiaceae, and it includes over 200 species that are found primarily in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Some species of Oldenlandia have been used in traditional medicine in various cultures, but there is limited scientific evidence to support their effectiveness or safety.
In modern medical contexts, if "Oldenlandia" is mentioned, it may refer to a specific plant species that has been studied for its potential medicinal properties. For example, Oldenlandia diffusa (also known as Hedyotis diffusa) has been investigated for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. However, it is important to note that the use of any plant or herbal remedy should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider, as they can interact with other medications and have potential side effects.
"Morinda" is a botanical term that refers to a genus of tropical shrubs and trees in the family Rubiaceae, which includes several species with medicinal properties. One of the most well-known species is Morinda citrifolia, also known as noni, which has been used in traditional medicine for various health purposes.
The fruit, leaves, bark, and roots of Morinda plants have been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions such as infections, inflammation, fever, skin disorders, and digestive problems. Some studies suggest that Morinda extracts may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immune-boosting properties, but more research is needed to confirm these effects and establish recommended dosages and safety guidelines.
It's important to note that while Morinda has a long history of use in traditional medicine, it should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. Before taking any herbal supplements, including Morinda, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
I am not aware of a standard medical definition for the term "islands." In general, an island is a landmass that is surrounded by water. In a medical context, it might be used to describe isolated areas or structures within the body, such as islands of Langerhans in the pancreas which are clusters of cells that produce hormones like insulin. However, I would need more specific context to provide an accurate definition related to medicine.
Iridoids are a type of naturally occurring compounds that are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. They are characterized by the presence of a cyclopentanoid structure fused to a monoterpene unit. Iridoids have a wide range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant effects. Some iridoids also have potential therapeutic benefits in the treatment of various diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
In a medical context, iridoids may be mentioned in relation to their presence in certain medicinal plants or herbs used in traditional medicine, or in research investigating their potential pharmacological properties. However, it is important to note that the use of iridoid-containing plants or supplements should only be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional, as with any medical treatment.
