Phytochemical investigation of Cassia petersiana Bolle leaves afforded four new compounds, including two chromone derivatives, 7-acetonyl-5-hydroxy-2-methylchromone (petersinone 1, 1) and 7-(propan-2'-ol-l'-yl)-5-hydroxy-2-methylchromone (petersinone 2, 2), two benzoic acid derivatives, 5-methyl-3-(propan-2'-on-1'-yl) benzoic acid (petersinone 3, 3) and 5-(methoxymethyl)-3-(propan-2'-ol-1'-yl) benzoic acid (petersinone 4, 4), and glyceryl-1-tetracosanoate (6), in addition to the known compound sistosterol-3-beta-D-glycoside (5). The structures of these compounds were determined by comprehensive NMR studies, including DEPT, COSY, HMQC, HMBC, MS and IR. Compounds 1, 2, 5 and 6 were tested for antioxidant, anti-cancer and immunostimulatory properties. The biological investigations indicated that compound 6, among others, possessed the highest anti-cancer activity against hepatocellular carcinoma, immunoproliferative activity via induction of T-lymphocytes and macrophage proliferation, anti-inflammatory activity as indicated by NO inhibition, and antioxidant activity against DPPH radicals. Moreover, compound 5 was the most effective cytotoxic compound against breast carcinoma and stimulated a consistent immunoproliferative effect on lymphocytes and macrophages combined with strong NO inhibitory activity, while compound 1 was promising as immunoproliferative agent and may act as anti-inflammatory agent as a consequence of its NO inhibitory activity. 相似文献

Synthetic 6-chromanol derivatives were prepared with several chlorine substitutions, which conferred both electron-withdrawing inductive effects and electron-donating resonance effects. A trichlorinated compound (2), a dichlorinated compound (3), and three monochlorinated compounds (4, 5, and 6) were synthesized; compounds 2, 3, and 6 were novel. The antioxidant activities of the compounds, evaluated in terms of their capacities to scavenge galvinoxyl radical, were associated with the number and positioning of chlorine atoms in the aromatic ring of 6-chromanol. The activity of compound 1 (2,2-dimethyl-6-chromanol) was slightly higher than the activities of compounds 2 (2,2-dimethyl-5,7-dichloro-6-chromanol) or 3 (2,2-dimethyl-5,7,8-trichloro-6-chromanol), in which the chlorine atoms were ortho to the phenolic hydroxyl group of 6-chromanol. The scavenging activity of compound 3 was slightly higher than that of 2, which contained an additional chlorine substituted in the 8 position. The activities of polychlorinated compounds 2 and 3 were higher than the activities of any of the monochlorinated compounds (4-6). Compound 6, in which a chlorine was substituted in the 8 position, exhibited the lowest activity. Substitution of a chlorine atom meta to the hydroxyl group of 6-chromanol (compounds 2 and 6) decreased galvinoxyl radical scavenging activity, owing to the electron-withdrawing inductive effect of chlorine. Positioning the chloro group ortho to the hydroxyl group (compounds 4 and 5) retained antioxidant activity because the intermediate radical was stabilized by the electron-donating resonance effect of chlorine in spite of the electron-withdrawing inductive effect of chlorine. Antioxidant activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for correlations with the O-H bond dissociation energies (BDEs) and the ionization potentials. The BDEs correlated with the second-order rate constants (k) in the reaction between galvinoxyl radical and the chlorinated 6-chromanol derivatives in acetonitrile. This indicated that the antioxidant mechanism of the synthesized compounds consisted of a one-step hydrogen atom transfer from the phenolic OH group rather than an electron transfer followed by a proton transfer. The synthesized compounds also exhibited hydroxyl radical scavenging capacities in aqueous solution. 相似文献

The intertidal gastropod, Littoraria articulata (Philippi), is common on the trunks of mangroves at Coorooman Creek, Central
Queensland. Individuals of shell length less than 3 mm were only found in empty tests of the barnacle Hexaminius popeiana
(Foster). Larger snails were exposed on the trunk or occasionally in crevices such as knot holes. The relationship between
shell length and shell strength differed between barnacle dwelling and larger L. articulata: in both cases it was linear,
but the rate of increase of strength with increasing length was significantly greater for barnacle dwelling snails than for
exposed ones. In contrast, there was an exponential relationship between shell strength and length for the weaker shelled
Littoraria filosa (Sowerby), which occurs higher on the tree and does not inhabit barnacles.
The survival of L. articulata was affected by the presence of crevices: significantly fewer disappeared from posts with artificial
crivices than from those which lacked them, and some snails testhered to posts appeared to have been eaten by fish. The importance
of crevices is discussed in relation to predation pressure, growth and habitat selection by larval L. articulata.

Antioxidant activity of leaf extracts from Bauhinia monandra 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Bauhinia monandra Kurz. is used in Brazil for the treatment of diabetes. Since this activity may be correlated with the presence of antioxidant compounds, leaf extracts of B. monandra were evaluated for their radical scavenging capacity (RSC). An ethanolic extract was taken up in aqueous methanol and partitioned with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate to yield three organic extracts together with remaining aqueous extract. The RSC was determined spectrophotometrically using 1,1-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH). The chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts were the most appropriate as sources of antioxidant compounds as shown by their inhibition concentration (IC50) and inhibition percentage (IP) values. The antioxidant activity of such extracts was attributed to the presence of three compounds of different polarities (flavonoids and steroids). The chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts exhibited an IC50 of approximately 2 mg/g DPPH and IP values in the range of 60-65%. The results indicate that the extracts of B. monandra have a very potent antioxidant activity, compared with the pure catechins used as positive controls and with other plant extracts. 相似文献

The n-butanol fraction (BF) of bark of Pecan tree, Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh) K. Koch (Juglandaceae) afforded two new flavonol methyl ether: caryatin-3′ sulfate (6) and caryatin-3′ methyl ether-7-O-β-d-glucoside (7) while five known phenolics (1–5) were isolated from its ethyl acetate fraction (EAF). The structures of isolated compounds were established based on 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The isolated compounds were investigated for their hypoglycaemic, antioxidant as well as the aldose reductase (AR) inhibitory effect in lenses of streptozocin diabetic rats. All the isolated compounds showed significant hypoglycaemic and antioxidant activities, except 5 and 6. A marked AR-inhibitory effect was identified for compounds 2, 3 and 7. 相似文献

The antioxidant activity of an aqueous extract (infusion) and respective ethyl acetate fraction of Equisetum telmateia Ehrh. (Equisetaceae), a plant used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, has been evaluated by DPPH, TEAC and TBARS assays. A high and significant antioxidant activity was detected in the ethyl acetate fraction. Analysis of the aqueous extract and the ethyl acetate fraction by HPLC-PAD-ESI/MS allowed the identification of the major phenolic compounds as flavan-3-ol, kaempferol and phenolic acid derivatives. Among the flavan-3-ols, A-type proanthocyanidins and afzelechin derivatives were detected as well as the more common B-type procyanidins, B2 and C1, whose identification was further confirmed by HPLC using detection involving chemical reaction with p-dimethylamino-cinnamaldehyde. The results suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of E. telmateia could be due, at least in part, to the presence of compounds with antioxidant activity. 相似文献

Comparative antioxidant activity of individual herbal components used in Ayurvedic medicine 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Four aqueous extracts from different parts of medicinal plants used in Ayurveda (an ancient Indian Medicine) viz., Momardica charantia Linn (AP1), Glycyrrhiza glabra (AP2), Acacia catechu (AP3), and Terminalia chebula (AP4) were examined for their potential as antioxidants. The antioxidant activity of these extracts was tested by studying the inhibition of radiation induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes at different doses in the range of 100-600 Gy as estimated by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Of all these extracts, AP4 showed maximum inhibition in the TBARS formation and hence is considered the best antioxidant among these four extracts. The extracts were found to restore antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) from the radiation induced damage. The antioxidant capacities were also evaluated in terms of ascorbate equivalents by different methods such as cyclic voltammetry, decay of ABTS(.-) radical by pulse radiolysis and decrease in the absorbance of DPPH radicals. The results were found to be in agreement with the lipid peroxidation data and AP4 showed maximum value of ascorbate equivalents. Therefore AP4, with high antioxidant activity, is considered as the best among these four extracts. 相似文献

3-Methyl-1-butanol is a potential fuel additive or substitute. Previously this compound was identified in small quantities in yeast fermentation as one of the fusel alcohols. In this work, we engineered an Escherichia coli strain to produce 3-methyl-1-butanol from glucose via the host's amino acid biosynthetic pathways. Strain improvement with the removal of feedback inhibition and competing pathways increased the selectivity and productivity of 3-methyl-1-butanol. This work demonstrates the feasibility of production of 3-methyl-1-butanol as a biofuel and shows promise in using E. coli as a host for production. 相似文献

Dihydrobenzoxazinone based design and synthesis produced two series of compounds as aldose reductase (ALR2) inhibitor candidates. In particular, phenolic residues were embodied into the compounds for the combination of strengthening the inhibitory acitvity and antioxidant ability to retard the progression of diabetic complications. Most of the derivatives with styryl side chains exhibited excellent activities on selective ALR2 inhibition with IC50 values ranging from 0.082 to 0.308 μM, and {8-[2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-vinyl]-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]oxazin-4-yl}-acetic acid (3a) was the most potent. More significantly, most of dihydrobenzoxazinone compounds revealed not only good inhibitory effect on ALR2, but also showed powerful antioxidant activity. Notably, phenolic compound 3a was even comparable to the well-known antioxidant Trolox, confirming that the C8 p-hydroxystyryl substitution was key structure of lowering oxidative stress. Therefore, these results provided an achievement of multifunctional ALR2 inhibitors possessing capacities for both ALR2 inhibition and as antioxidants. 相似文献

The synthesis of four novel analogues of metoprolol, a well-known beta1-blocker used to reduce arterial blood pressure, is described. The preparation of (2S,2'S)-7, (2R,2'S)-7, (2R,2'R)-8, and (2S,2'R)-8 was based on the reaction of racemic 2-[4-(2'-methoxyethyl)-phenoxymethyl]-oxirane (4) with (R)- or (S)-2-amino-1-butanol. Salient characteristics of analogues 7 and 8 relative to metoprolol are the incorporation of an additional stereogenic center, as well as a methyl group and a hydroxyl function on the nitrogen-containing chain. These novel derivatives present significant hypotensive and bradycardiac activity, although no blocking action toward beta1 and beta2 adrenergic receptor. 相似文献

The synthesis of novel thiazole-based piperidinone oximes and screening of their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity are described. The obtained results revealed that the electronic effects of active substituents at C-4 terminals of phenyl rings on either side of piperidinone skeleton, as well as at 2-hydrazinyl thiazole, played a major role in development of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Antioxidant activity seems to be based also on radical dissipating ability of the thiazole ring. The nucleophilic character of sulfur in thiazole and lipophilic nature of piperidinone skeleton substantially influenced the observed antimicrobial activity of thiazole-based piperidinone oximes. Among the synthesized compounds, 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylpiperidin-4-one O-(2-(2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazinyl)thiazol-4-yl) oxime exhibited excellent antioxidant activity whereas compound 2,6-bis(4-chloro phenyl)-1-methylpiperidin-4-one O-(2-(2-(4-nitrobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)thiazol-4-yl)oxime emerged as an outstanding antimicrobial agent. 相似文献

Two antioxidant compounds were isolated from C. sappan L by multiple steps of column chromatography and thin layer chromatography in succession with superoxide scavenging assay as activity monitor. Structures of the two compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods as 1',4'-dihydro-spiro[benzofuran-3(2H),3'-[3H-2]benzopyran]-1',6',6',7'-tetrol (compound 1) and 3-[[4,5-dihydroxy-2(hydroxymethyl) phenyl]-methyl]-2,3-dihydro-3,6-benzofurandiol (compound 2). Characterization of antioxidant properties of these two compounds was done by determining the inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase activity as well as scavenging effect on superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals. Our results indicated that compounds 1 and 2 inhibited xanthine oxidase activity and scavenged superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals. Compounds 1 and 2 possessed similar radical scavenging activities as ascorbic acid, and they were more effective than other well-known antioxidants such as alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, and BHT. As inhibitors of free radical formation, compounds 1 and 2 were more effective than all the other antioxidants tested. In conclusion, compounds 1 and 2 can be regarded as primary antioxidants with radical-scavenging and chain-breaking activities as well as secondary antioxidants with inhibitory effect on radical generation. 相似文献

The reaction of the phytochemical indicaxanthin with lipoperoxyl radicals generated in methyl linoleate methanol solution by 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), and in aqueous soybean phosphatidylcholine unilamellar liposomes by 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)hydrochloride, was studied. The molecule acts as a chain-terminating lipoperoxyl radical scavenger in solution, with a calculated inhibition constant of 3.63 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), and a stoichiometric factor approaching 2. Indicaxanthin incorporated in liposomes prevented lipid oxidation, inducing clear-cut lag periods and decrease of the propagation rate. Both effects were concentration-dependent, but not linearly related to the phytochemical concentration. The consumption of indicaxanthin during liposome oxidation was remarkably delayed, the lower the concentration the longer the time-interval during which it remained in its native state. Indicaxanthin and alpha-tocopherol, simultaneously incorporated in liposomes, exhibited cooperative antioxidant effects and reciprocal protective interactions. The extent of synergism decreased at the increase of the ratio (indicaxanthin)/(alpha-tocopherol). A potential antioxidant mechanism of indicaxanthin is discussed in the context of the chemistry of the molecule, and of the possible reactivity of a short-lived intermediate. 相似文献

Product analysis of dealkylation in P(S)C(S)-soman-inhibited electric eel acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by GC-MS using the selected ion monitoring mode has been carried out. The instrument was calibrated with pure standards of 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene and 2, 3-dimethyl-2-butene in the gas phase and methylene chloride extracts of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol and 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol from the aqueous phase. The dealkylation in soman-inhibited AChE at pH 5.0 +/- 0.2 and 25 degrees C produces close to 40% alkenes and 50-60% 2, 3-dimethyl-2-butanol. No 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol could be detected to provide direct evidence of the intervention of a secondary carbenium ion in the reaction path. All the products of the reaction originate from a tertiary carbenium ion. These findings are in good agreement with the results of Michel et al. [(1967) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 121, 29], which were obtained by countercurrent distribution of tritium-labeled products and their identification by scintillation counting. The early experiments were performed with the mixture of the four soman diastereomers, all labeled with tritium in Calpha. 相似文献

C-6-based green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are signal molecules to herbivorous insects and play an important role in plant–herbivore interactions. How isomerization of GLVs affects insect’s olfactory response has been rarely tested. In laboratory and field experiments, we examined the effect of hexanol isomers on olfactory orientation of the spiraling whitefly, Aleruodicus dispersus Russell, a highly polyphagous pest. In a Y-tube oflactometer, we found that (±)-2-hexanol, 3-methyl-3-pentanol and 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol significantly attracted female A. dispersus. The trap captures of 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol were significantly more than that of (±)-2-hexanol and 3-methyl-3-pentanol, and its optimum concentration was 1 μ1/ml. We suggest that the anthropogenic compound 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol can be exploited as a parakairomone (synthetic analogues of kairomone) to monitor and control adult A. dispersus. 相似文献

Curcumin has many pharmaceutical applications, many of which arise from its potent antioxidant properties. The present research examined the antioxidant activities of curcumin in polar solvents by a comparative study using ESR, reduction of ferric iron in aqueous medium and intracellular ROS/toxicity assays. ESR data indicated that the steric hindrance among adjacent big size groups within a galvinoxyl molecule limited the curcumin to scavenge galvinoxyl radicals effectively, while curcumin showed a powerful capacity for scavenging intracellular smaller oxidative molecules such as H2O2, HO•, ROO•. Cell viability and ROS assays demonstrated that curcumin was able to penetrate into the polar medium inside the cells and to protect them against the highly toxic and lethal effects of cumene hydroperoxide. Curcumin also showed good electron-transfer capability, with greater activity than trolox in aqueous solution. Curcumin can readily transfer electron or easily donate H-atom from two phenolic sites to scavenge free radicals. The excellent electron transfer capability of curcumin is because of its unique structure and different functional groups, including a β-diketone and several π electrons that have the capacity to conjugate between two phenyl rings. Therfore, since curcumin is inherently a lipophilic compound, because of its superb intracellular ROS scavenging activity, it can be used as an effective antioxidant for ROS protection within the polar cytoplasm. 相似文献

Although phospholipase D (PLD) is often used in emulsion systems consisting of buffer and a nonpolar organic solvent, most activity assays have been designed to work in purely aqueous milieu. Here a method is described for the determination of PLD activity in emulsion systems. The assay is based on the transphosphatidylation of phosphatidylcholine with 1-butanol in dichloromethane/buffer with the subsequent densitometric quantification of the products after their separation by HPTLC and staining with a CuSO4/H3PO4 reagent. The method is particularly appropriate for the determination of enzymes such as PLD from Streptomyces sp. that prefer the exchange of the head group in glycerophospholipids to their hydrolysis. Since the application of an organic solvent in the PLD assay allows the determination of the enzyme in analytes insoluble in aqueous media, the method can also be used to determine PLD activity in the presence of high concentrations of phospholipids. 相似文献

The 5-alkoxymethyl-2,2,7,8-tetramethyl-6-chromanols (II) are excellent antioxidants against autoxidising safflower oil (ASO), although not as good as 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-chromanol (I), the model compound of alpha-tocopherol. The aim of this work was to determine whether the rate of reaction of (II) with the radicals diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPP*) and galvinoxyl (ArO*) was directly proportional to their antioxidant activity against ASO. Compounds (II) reacted faster with DPP* than with ArO* but, in each case, slower than compound (I). The rates of reaction of I and II with both radicals followed the order I > II (R = H) > II (R = CH3) > II (R = other alkyls) and were directly proportional to their antioxidant activity against ASO. 相似文献

The oxidative modification of lipoprotein particles is an important step in atherogenesis. Estrogens are known to be powerful antioxidants independently of their binding to the estrogen receptors and the hormonal functions. We explored the structural determinants for the antioxidant activity of a large number of estrogen derivatives (n=43) in an aqueous lipoprotein solution in vitro by monitoring formation of conjugated dienes. Our results indicate that estrogen derivatives with an unsubstituted A-ring phenolic hydroxyl group with one or two adjacent methoxy groups provide strongest antioxidant protection of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL). The electron donating methoxy groups may enhance the antioxidant effect by weakening the phenolic OH bond and providing stability to the formed phenoxyl radical. With some exceptions, compounds completely lacking unsubstituted hydroxyl groups in the A-ring exhibited no antioxidant effect, e.g. the most hydrophilic "tetrol" compound with three unsubstituted A-ring hydroxyl groups had no antioxidant effect. Moreover, additional hydroxyl groups in the B-, C- or D-ring seemed to weaken the antioxidant effect. Accordingly, both the presence of unsubstituted hydroxyl groups and adjacent substituents, as well as the lipophilicity of the derivatives determine the antioxidant activity of estrogen derivatives in aqueous lipoprotein solutions. 相似文献
