Antioxidative effect of a chymotrypsin inhibitor from Momordica cochinchinensis (Cucurbitaceae) seeds in a primary rat hepatocyte culture. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The antioxidative activity of a chymotrypsin-specific potato type I inhibitor from Momordica cochinchinensis (MCoCI) (Cucurbitaceae) has been investigated using the primary rat hepatocyte system. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) was used to induce oxidative stress. Pretreatment of hepatocytes with MCoCI for 24 h significantly reversed t-BHP-induced cell damage, and the associated glutathione depletion and lipid peroxidation. The activities of glutathione-S-transferase and superoxide dismutase were also increased. These results suggested that MCoCI possessed antioxidative activity which may account for some of the pharmacological effects of Momordica cochinchinensis seeds, the traditional Chinese medicine known as Mubiezhi, from which MCoCI was isolated. 相似文献

Schönbohm, E., Stute, U., Thienhaus, P. and Werner, U. 1988. The stimulating effect of a cold, dark pretreatment on the etioplast/chloroplast transformation of angiosperms I. The stimulating effect of cold predarkening on different stages of greening under white light. - Physiol. Plant. 72: 541–546.
The etioplast/chloroplast transformation in angiosperms is controlled by light; most of the processes are mediated by phytochrome. We have shown that in the primary leaves of etiolated seedlings of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Kolibri), fire-bean ( Phaseolus multiflorus L. cv. Preisgewinner) and in the cotyledons of etiolated sun flower seedlings ( Helianthus annuus L. cv. macrocarpa) the chlorophyll accumulation in the phase after the end of the lag phase can be greatly stimulated by a cold predarkening period. This effect is not necessarily coupled with a red preirradiation. Furthermore the lag phase can be dramatically shortened by the cold, dark pretreatment, whereas the amount of photoconvertible protochlorophyll(ide) in the darkness remains unaffected by the cold, dark pretreatment. The stimulating effect of a cold, predarkening period on greening is fully reversible by a warm, dark phase that is placed between the cold period and the onset of the continuous white light phase. These findings cannot be generalized: We could demonstrate that in the tropical plant Momordica charantia greening under white light was not affected by different temperature pretreatments during predarkening. The stimulating effect of a cold, predarkening period on greening is assumed to have ecological relevance. 相似文献

The fruit of Momordica charantia (family: Cucurbitacea) is used widely as a hypoglycaemic agent to treat diabetes mellitus (DM). The mechanism of the hypoglycaemic action of M. charantia in vitro is not fully understood. This study investigated the effect of M. charantia juice on either 3H-2-deoxyglucose or N-methyl-amino-a-isobutyric acid (14C-Me-AIB) uptake in L6 rat muscle cells cultured to the myotube stage. The fresh juice was centrifuged at 5000 rpm and the supernatant lyophilised. L6 myotubes were incubated with either insulin (100 nM), different concentrations (1–10 g ml–1) of the juice or its chloroform extract or wortmannin (100 nM) over a period of 1–6 h. The results were expressed as pmol min–1 (mg cell protein)–1, n= 6–8 for each value. Basal 3H-deoxyglucose and 14C-Me-AIB uptakes by L6 myotubes after 1 h of incubation were (means ± S.E.M.) 32.14 ± 1.34 and 13.48 ± 1.86 pmol min–1 (mg cell protein)–1, respectively. Incubation of L6 myotubes with 100 nM insulin for 1 h resulted in significant (ANOVA, p < 0.05) increases in 3H-deoxyglucose and 14C-Me-AIB uptakes. Typically, 3H-deoxyglucose and 14C-Me-AIB uptakes in the presence of insulin were 58.57 ± 4.49 and 29.52 ± 3.41 pmol min–1 (mg cell protein–1), respectively. Incubation of L6 myotubes with three different concentrations (1, 5 and 10 g ml–1) of either the lyophilised juice or its chloroform extract resulted in time-dependent increases in 3H-deoxy-D-glucose and 14C-Me-AIB uptakes, with maximal uptakes occurring at a concentration of 5 g ml–1. Incubation of either insulin or the juice in the presence of wortmannin (a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor) resulted in a marked inhibition of 3H-deoxyglucose by L6 myotubes compared to the uptake obtained with either insulin or the juice alone. The results indicate that M. charantia fruit juice acts like insulin to exert its hypoglycaemic effect and moreover, it can stimulate amino acid uptake into skeletal muscle cells just like insulin.

Aulacophora foveicollis Lucas (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is an important phytophagous pest of two cucurbitaceous plants, Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng and Solena amplexicaulis (Lam.) Gandhi. The volatile organic compound profiles from flowers of M. cochinchinensis and S. amplexicaulis were identified and quantified by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and GC‐flame ionization detector (FID) analyses. Twenty nine and 28 compounds were identified in volatiles of M. cochinchinensis and S. amplexicaulis flowers, respectively. Methyl jasmonate and 3‐octanol were the predominant volatiles of M. cochinchinensis flowers, whereas 1‐octadecanol and 1‐hexanol were most found in the headspace of S. amplexicaulis flowers. Aulacophora foveicollis were more attracted by the flower volatiles of M. cochinchinensis than by those of S. amplexicaulis in a glass Y‐tube olfactometer. A mixture of 1‐heptanol, linalool oxide, 1‐octanol, and nonanal in the proportions present in the headspace of both flower types elicited attraction in the insect. From 25 cm distance, A. foveicollis displayed a preference for artificial flowers of 6.5 cm diameter of S. amplexicaulis flower colour (white) over M. cochinchinensis flower colour (white‐yellow). Finally, a synthetic blend (0.43 μg 1‐heptanol + 1.44 μg linalool oxide + 0.14 μg 1‐octanol + 1.77 μg nonanal dissolved in 25 μl methylene chloride) attracted more beetles when applied in a white artificial flower than when applied in a white‐yellow artificial flower from 40 cm distance. This finding may be helpful in the development of traps for pest management strategies. 相似文献

Chitinase was purified from Momordica charantia L. by affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme showed single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamicle gel electrophoresis and the molecular weight was estimated as 35 kD. The enzyme was stable at temperatures up to 50℃ or less than 10 % loss of activity in 1 h. Its optimum temperature was about 45 ℃. Its suitable pH had a rather wide range from pH 4.4 to pH 6.8 and the optimum pH was about 6.2. The activity of the enzyme was similar in root and stem. In the lower leaves,the activity was higher than that of the upper. 相似文献
