Matrix metalloproteinase-1 inhibitor from the stem bark of Styrax japonica S. et Z. (1/6)
A bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethyl acetate soluble fraction from the stem bark of Styrax japonica S. et Z. (Styracaceae) yielded two new lignan compounds, styraxjaponoside A (1) and styraxjaponoside B (2), along with three known compounds, matairesinoside (3), egonol glucoside (4), and dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9'-O-glucoside (5). The structures of compounds 1-5 were determined by spectroscopic method, as well as 1D- and 2D-NMR (HSQC, 1H-1H COSY, and HMBC) spectroscopy. Among them, compound 2 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, and prevented the UV-induced changes in the MMP-1 expression. In addition, compounds 3 and 5 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

(2/6)
Long term and repeated exposure of ultraviolet light on the skin often induces chronic skin diseases such as skin cancer as well as photoaging, and the mechanisms of these skin damages are closely associated with up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase's (MMPs) activities. The methylene chloride soluble fraction of methanol extract from the stems of Styrax japonica. (Styracaceae) showed significant MMP-1 inhibition in primary human skin fibroblasts cause by ultraviolet irradiation. Four triterpenoids were isolated by column chromatography. Among them, Erythrodiol-3-acetate reduced of MMP-1 and induced of type 1 procollagen at the protein levels in a dose-dependent manner.

(3/6)
In the present study, the effects of terpenes (styraxosides A and B) and lignans (egonol, masutakeside I, and styraxlignolide A) isolated from the stem bark of Styrax japonica Sieb. et Zucc. (styracaceae) were evaluated on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by the RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line. Of the tested compounds, styraxoside A was found to most potently inhibit the productions of NO and PGE2, and also significantly reduced the release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta). Consistent with these observations, the protein expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and the mRNA expression levels of iNOS, COX-2, TNF-alpha and IL-1beta were found to be inhibited by styraxoside A in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, styraxoside A inhibited the LPS-induced DNA binding activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). Taken together, our data indicate that styraxoside A inhibits LPS-induced iNOS, COX-2, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta expressions through the down-regulation of NF-kappaB-DNA binding activity.

(+info)Antifungal property of dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9'-O-beta-D-glucoside and its pore-forming action in plasma membrane of Candida albicans. (5/6)
The aims of this study wereto investigate the antifungal activity as a bioactive property of dihydrodehydro-diconiferyl alcohol 9'-O-3-D-glucoside (DDDC9G) and the mode of action(s) involved in its effect. Antifungal susceptibility testing showed that DDDC9G possessed potent antifungal activities toward various fungal strains with almost no hemolytic effect. To understand the antifungal mechanism(s) of DDDC9G, we conducted the following experiments in this study using Candida albicans. Fluorescence experiments using the probe 1,6-eiphenyl-1, 3, 5-hexatriene (DPH) and propidium iodide suggested that DDDC9G perturbed the fungal plasma membrane. Consecutively, the analysis of the transmembrane electrical potential (DeltaPsi) with 3, 3'-dipropylthiadicarbocyanine iodide [DiSC3(5)] and bis-(1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid) trimethine oxonol [DiBAC4(3)] indicated that DDDC9G induced membrane-depolarization. Furthermore, model membrane studies were performed wiith rhodamine-labeled giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), calcein encapsulating large unilamellar vesicles (ILUVs), and FITC-dextran (FD) loaded LUVs. These results demonstrated that the antifungal effects of DDDC9G upon the fungal plasma membrane were through the formation of pores with the radii between 0.74 nm and 1.4 nm. Finally, in three dimensional (3D) flow cytometric contour plots, a reduced cell size was observed as a result of osmolarity changes from DDDC9G-induced structural and functional membrane damages.Therefore, the present study suggests that DDDC9G exerts its antifungal effect by damaging the membrane through pore formation in the fungal plasma membrane.

(+info)I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Styrax" is not a medical term. It is the name of a genus of plants that include trees and shrubs, some of which are used in traditional medicine. The most common species is Styrax benzoin, also known as Benjamin tree or gum benjamin tree, from which a type of balsamic resin called benzoin is obtained. This resin has been used in traditional medicine for its expectorant, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. However, modern medical research on the effectiveness and safety of Styrax species and their extracts is limited.
I apologize for any confusion, but "Styracaceae" is not a medical term. It is a taxonomic category in botany, referring to the family of plants that includes shrubs and trees such as snowbell, sweetshrub, and members of the genera Styrax and Halesia.
In a medical context, you might be referring to various plant-derived compounds found in Styracaceae family plants, which could have potential medicinal properties. For example, styrene, a compound found in the oleoresin of some Styracaceae species, has been studied for its potential effects on cancer cells. However, it is important to note that these studies are still in the early stages and much more research is needed before any definitive conclusions can be drawn about their medicinal applications.
I am not aware of any medical definition for the term "Idaho." It is primarily used as the name of a state in the United States. If you have any specific medical context or terminology that you would like me to help define, please let me know and I will be happy to assist you.
Isopoda is an order of crustaceans characterized by having a body that is usually laterally compressed, a pair of antennae, and seven pairs of legs (periopods) along the thorax. They are commonly known as "isopods" and include various familiar forms such as woodlice, pill bugs, and sea slaters. Isopods vary in size from less than a millimeter to over 50 centimeters in length. Some isopod species are terrestrial, while others are freshwater or marine dwellers. Medical relevance of isopods is limited, but some species can be vectors for diseases or parasites affecting fish and other aquatic animals.
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.
