不同植被地区天然黄檗生物碱含量对季节的响应

黄檗(Phellodendron amurense Rupr.)不仅为中国特有的濒危植物,还是我国著名中药材"关黄柏"的药源植物,由于其珍贵的药用价值而被过度开采。本研究采用HPLC检测不同植被地区天然黄檗种群中药根碱、掌叶防己碱和小檗碱等生物碱的含量,分析不同部位,不同季节对生物碱分布的影响。研究表明,药根碱在黄檗各部位的分布为:根皮茎皮多年生枝一年生枝叶片。掌叶防己碱含量分布为:茎皮多年生枝皮根皮一年生枝叶片。小檗碱在不同部位的分布规律表现为:根皮茎皮多年生枝一年生枝叶片。根皮和茎皮中的药根碱含量随着春、夏、秋季节的推移呈逐渐上升的趋势,表现为秋季夏季春季,而多年生枝皮、一年生枝、叶片中的药根碱则是秋季春季夏季。各部位的掌叶防己碱均随着季节推移而升高,表现为秋季夏季春季。根皮、茎皮和多年生枝皮中小檗碱含量随着季节变化表现为夏季秋季春季。一年生枝中小檗碱在夏季降低,而到了秋季再升高。     

光强对黄檗幼苗三种生物碱含量的影响

设置光强分别为全光照的100%(不遮荫)、75%、50%和25%的4种光照处理,比较了不同光强下1年生黄檗幼苗主要药用成分小檗碱、药根碱和掌叶防己碱含量的变化.结果表明,全光照有利于小檗碱、药根碱和掌叶防己碱在茎外皮和根中的合成和积累,总体上随光强减弱,3种生物碱含量降低.相对光强为75%时黄檗幼苗生物量最大,而75%相对光强下黄檗幼苗3种生物碱的单株产量(生物碱含量与生物量之积)最高.     

水分胁迫对黄檗幼苗三种生物碱含量的影响

黄檗（Phellodendron amurense）是东北阔叶红松林的重要伴生树种,也是我国名贵中药关黄柏的药源植物,小檗碱（berberine）、药根碱（jatrorrhizine）、掌叶防己碱（palmatine）是研究者通常关注的主要黄檗生物碱。通过池栽法和渗灌控水方式设置了对照、轻度干旱、重度干旱和水涝（土壤水势分别控制在-40～-20KPa、-80～-60KPa、〈-80KPa和-20～0KPa）4种水分处理。比较了不同水分状况下黄檗幼苗小檗碱、药根碱及掌叶防己碱含量的变化。对于当年生的黄檗幼苗,总体上轻度干旱有利于上述3种生物碱的合成与积累,重度干旱处理下幼苗3种生物碱的含量与对照差异不大。而水涝处理则导致幼苗3种生物碱的含量显著降低。同时,干旱或水涝处理都导致黄檗幼苗生长受抑,幼苗的株高、茎径和生物量都显著低于对照幼苗,因此3种生物碱的单株产量仍是对照的黄檗幼苗最高。茎外皮是中药黄柏的药用部位,也是黄檗幼苗中3种生物碱含号最丰的部位。实验结果预示短期的轻度干旱处理可以提高茎外皮的小檗碱含量。这对以获取生物碱为目的的黄檗幼苗培育可能有参考价值。     

滤光膜对黄檗(Phellodendron amuranse)幼苗三种生物碱含量的影响

以滤光膜遮光处理1年生黄檗(Phellodendron amuranse)幼苗,测定了幼苗生物量及根、茎外皮中的小檗碱、药根碱和掌叶防己碱含量.红色、黄色、蓝色和绿色滤光膜对黄檗幼苗的根和茎生物量都有不同程度的抑制作用,其中黄膜的抑制作用最小,而蓝膜和绿膜的抑制作用最强.滤光膜处理也不同程度地抑制了小檗碱、药根碱和掌叶防己碱的合成和积累,红膜的抑制作用最小,蓝膜和绿膜的抑制作用最强.滤光膜处理后,3种生物碱的单株产量都低于对照,红膜处理小檗碱的产量显著高于黄膜处理,但红膜和黄膜处理下的药根碱和掌叶防己碱的产量差异不显著,蓝膜和绿膜处理的3种生物碱的产量都始终最低.滤光膜处理不利于黄檗幼苗的生长和上述3种生物碱的积累.     

氮素形态对黄檗幼苗三种生物碱含量的影响

通过改变水培溶液中NH 4-N和NO3--N的比例,探讨了氮素形态对黄檗幼苗主要药用成分小檗碱、药根碱及掌叶防己碱含量的影响。结果表明,小檗碱的含量与氮素形态有明显关系,在根和茎中都表现为NO3--N比例高更有利于小檗碱的积累。单纯的NO3--N供给最有利于药根碱在黄檗幼苗根中的积累,而处理46d后,NH4 -N/NO3--N为75/25和25/75时黄檗幼苗茎中的药根碱含量最高。黄檗幼苗根和茎中的掌叶防己碱含量对营养液中NH4 -N和NO3--N的比例反应类似,在处理46d后,掌叶防己碱含量由高到低所对应的NH4 -N/NO-3-N为25/75、50/50、75/25、0/100、100/0。处理33d后,黄檗幼苗根中的小檗碱、药根碱、掌叶防己碱含量随处理天数的增加呈下降趋势,而在茎中呈上升趋势。如果同时考虑氮素形态对黄檗幼苗生物量的影响,那么NH4 -N/NO3--N为0/100时其小檗碱产量(含量与生物量乘积)最高,而NH4 -N/NO-3-N为25/75时药根碱和掌叶防已碱的产量最高。

Effects of water stress on berberine, jatrorrhizine and palmatine contents in amur corktree seedlings

Amur corktree (Phellodendron amurense) is one of the important associated species in broadleaved-Korean pine forests, and in the pharmaceutical resource plants of famous Chinese traditional medicine, named cortex phellodendri. Berberine, jatrorrhizine and palmatine are the main alkaloids to which high attention is paid by the researchers. In the present study, water stress treatments with four conditions, that is, mild drought, severe drought, waterlogging, and control (soil water potentials were controlled in the ranges of-40—-20 KPa,-80—-60 KPa, <-80 KPa and-20—0 KPa), were performed using the technique of root-sphere osmotic irrigation in a soil pond. The changes in the main medicinal compositions of berberine, jatrorrhizine and palmatine contents under different water conditions were discussed. As for the annual growing of amur corktree seedlings, mild drought was generally beneficial to the synthesis and accumulation of the three above-mentioned alkaloid contents. The three alkaloid contents did not show great changes under severe drought whereas those contents had significantly reduced under waterlogging compared with controls. Meanwhile, the growth of amur corktree seedlings was inhibited by the treatments of drought and waterlogging. The height, diameter and biomass of amur corktree seedlings were significantly lower than those of the control seedlings, which meant that the three alkaloid contents in a single seedling still kept the highest in control seedlings. Stem cortex was the medical part in Chinese traditional medicine and also kept the most abundant of the three alkaloid contents in amur corktree. Results indicated that short periods of mild drought could improve the berberine contents in the stem cortex, which might have reference value for the cultivation of amur corktree seedlings to obtain alkaloids.     

Cultivation of cell cultures of Berberis wilsonae in 20-l airlift bioreactors

Suspension cultures of Berberis wilsonae produce 4 berberine-type alkaloids: berberine, palmatine, columbamine and jatrorrhizine. In particular the formation of the phenolic alkaloids columbamine and jatrorrhizine and of berberine proves to be dependent on the concentration of dissolved oxygen. With higher aeration rates, berberine and jatrorrhizine yields can be increased considerably. Thus we reached an alkaloid yield of more than 3 g × 1^–1 with 50% dissolved oxygen tension in the medium. As far as we know this is one of the best results in fermenting of alkaloid-producing cell cultures.Abbreviations pO₂ dissolved oxygen concentration in % saturation (using air) - HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography - vvm volume air × volume medium^–1 × minute^–1 - rpm revolutions per minute - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid     

Aspidosperma (Apocynaceae) plant cytotoxicity and activity towards malaria parasites. Part I: Aspidosperma nitidum (Benth) used as a remedy to treat fever and malaria in the Amazon

Infusions of Aspidosperma nitidum (Apocynaceae) wood bark are used to treat fever and malaria in the Amazon Region. Several species of this family are known to possess indole alkaloids and other classes of secondary metabolites, whereas terpenoids, an inositol and the indole alkaloids harmane-3 acid and braznitidumine have been described in A. nitidum . In the present study, extracts from the wood bark, leaves and branches of this species were prepared for assays against malaria parasites and cytotoxicity testing using human hepatoma and normal monkey kidney cells. The wood bark extracts were active against Plasmodium falciparum and showed a low cytotoxicity in vitro, whereas the leaf and branch extracts and the pure alkaloid braznitidumine were inactive. A crude methanol extract was subjected to acid-base fractionation aimed at obtaining alkaloid-rich fractions, which were active at low concentrations against P. falciparum and in mice infected with and sensitive Plasmodium berghei parasites. Our data validate the antimalarial usefulness of A. nitidum wood bark, a remedy that can most likely help to control malaria. However, the molecules responsible for this antimalarial activity have not yet been identified. Considering their high selectivity index, the alkaloid-rich fractions from the plant bark might be useful in the development of new antimalarials.     

Effects of Perennial Peanut (Arachis glabrata) Ground Cover on Nematode Communities in Citrus

The effects of perennial peanut (Arachis glabrata) ground cover on the nematode community in a citrus orchard were examined. Samples were taken from two different ground cover treatments (perennial peanut or bare ground) at each of three distances from the tree trunk. Richness, measured as total numbers of nematode genera per sample, and total numbers of nematodes were greatest in the perennial peanut treatment (P < 0.05). Abundance of many genera of bacterivores, fungivores, and omnivores were increased by the perennial peanut ground cover. Total numbers of plant parasites were greater in perennial peanut treatments on three of the five sampling dates (P < 0.05), mainly due to trends in numbers of Mesocriconema. Distance from a tree trunk and the interaction of ground cover treatments and proximity to a tree trunk were most influential for Belonolaimus and Hoplolaimus. Although differences among treatments were observed for nematode genera and trophic groups, ecological indices were not consistently sensitive to treatments. Among several ecological indices evaluated, richness was most often affected by ground cover treatment.     

Isoquinoline alkaloids from Mahonia aquifolium stem bark are active against Malassezia spp

Bioassay directed fractionation of crude extract fromMahonia aquifolium led to the isolation of fraction A (bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid complex, BBI) and a fraction of protoberberine alkaloids, where the major compounds berberine and jatrorrhizine were isolated as their iodides. The antifungal activity of the crude extract, two protoberberine alkaloids and BBI fromM. aquifolium stem bark were evaluated against six strains ofMalassezia spp. The compounds tested were generally found to possess only weak to moderate antifungal properties: the MICs for individual strains were in the range ≤50–≥1000 mg/L.     

近55a来河西走廊荒漠绿洲区季节变化特征及其对胡杨年生长期的影响

利用河西走廊荒漠绿洲胡杨林集中分布区的4个气象站点1955-2009年日平均气温资料,采用5d滑动平均、气候倾向率、Mann-Kendall和滑动t检验等方法,分析其四季开始日与长度的变化特征及其对胡杨年生长期的影响。结果表明:近55a来,河西走廊荒漠绿洲区四季开始日主要表现为春、夏和秋季提早,冬季推迟的变化趋势,并以夏季提早最显著,且以21世纪初更突出。研究区平均四季长短变化特征为:冬季>夏季>春季>秋季。胡杨年生长期有开始日提早、终止日推后的趋势,且推迟趋势更明显;胡杨年生长期天数具有延长趋势。突变分析表明:春季开始日在1969年和2001年发生突变,夏、秋开始日则分别在1998年、 1985年和1997年发生突变,而冬季开始日发生突变的时间早于其它3季,为1985年;胡杨年生长期开始日具有多个突变,分别在1961年、1973年和1997年发生突变。显然,研究区胡杨对气候变化的响应更敏感。     

Additional alkaloids from Laurelia philippiana and L. novae-zelandiae

Asimilobine, anonaine, noreorydine, nornantenine, (+)-reticuline and the new alkaloid, 4-hydroxyanonaine, were isolated from Laurelia philippiana bark. The biogenetically related obovanine, oxoputerine and (?)-romneine, not known as a natural product, were obtained from the bark of L. novae-zelandiae. The occurrence of (R)-norlaudanosoline-derived alkaloids in L. novae-zelandiae is a distinctive feature of this tree. Neither L. novae-zelandiae nor L. philippiana accumulate dimeric benzylisoquinoline alkaloids to any appreciable extent in the trunk bark, differing in this respect from L. sempervirens, the only other Laurelia species.
