Biological Activity of Purpurogallin

Purpurogallin showed antibacterial activity toward gram-positive bacteria. Strong activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against methicillin of 1600 μg/ml] was found, with MIC of 11.0/μg/ml. Purpurogallin inhibited the growth of all tested plants and decreased the chlorophyll content in the cotyledons of Brassica campestris subsp. rapa. It showed potent inhibitory activity against prolyl endopeptidase (the 50% inhibitory concentration was 1.6 × 10^?5m), unlike its analogues, hinokitiol and tropolone.

由鹌鹑分出的１２４株空肠弯曲菌,经鉴定,其形态学特征、培养特性以及生化反应、生长与抑制生长试验的特点等均与人源空肠弯曲菌基本一致,但半数以上菌株具有ａ型溶血性能。按Ｌｉｏｎ生物学分型,主要为Ⅳ型（占７５．８％）,其次是Ⅲ型、Ⅱ型（分别占１７．７％、６．５％）,互型缺如。研究证实,氯化镉对全部菌株均能抑制生长,而０／１２９无此作用。药敏试验表明,鹌鹑空肠弯曲菌依次对氟哌酸、麦迪霉素、氯霉素、呋喃妥因、丁胺卡那霉素、红霉素和链霉素呈现高敏,但均有少数菌株例外;对青霉素类和菌必治则大多数菌株表现耐药。     

nHAP对大鼠肝线粒体的生物活性作用

为了探讨羟基磷灰石纳米粒子(nHAP)对大鼠肝线粒体生物活性的影响,将nHAP直接作用于线粒体,在不同浓度和时间下测定线粒体标志酶琥珀酸脱氢酶(SDH)比活性,并与对照组进行比较。结果显示,当nHAP中水含量在10%以下时,线粒体生物活性未发现改变;当nHAP浓度递增时,在等时间段内,对线粒体SDH比活性呈逐步抑制作用;在不等时间段内,nHAP对线粒体SDH比活性的抑制作用与对照组相比较差异有显著性(p<0.05)。因此,nHAP对线粒体SDH比活性的抑制有浓度和时间的依赖性。

The Biological Activity of the Sinorhizobium meliloti Glucan

The study of the effect of periplasmic glucan isolated from the root-nodule bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti CXM1-188 on the symbiosis of another strain (441) of the same root-nodule bacterium with alfalfa plants showed that this effect depends on the treatment procedure. The pretreatment of alfalfa seedlings with glucan followed by their bacterization with S. meliloti 441 insignificantly influenced the nodulation parameters of symbiosis (the number of root nodules and their nitrogen-fixing activity) but induced a statistically significant increase in the efficiency of symbiosis (expressed as the masses of the alfalfa overground parts and roots). At the same time, the pretreatment of S. meliloti 441 cells with glucan brought about a considerable decrease in the nodulation parameters of symbiosis (the number of root nodules and their nitrogen-fixing activity decreased by 2.5–11 and 7 times, respectively). These data suggest that the stimulating effect of rhizobia on host plants may be due not only to symbiotrophic nitrogen fixation but also to other factors. Depending on the experimental conditions, the treatment of alfalfa plants with glucan and their bacterization with rhizobial cells enhanced the activity of peroxidase in the alfalfa roots and leaves by 10–39 and 12–27%, respectively.     

Biological Activity of Polar Lipids from Bifidobacteria

Fractions of polar lipids have been isolated from bifidobacteria, and the immunoreactivity and serological specificity of glycolipids and phospholipids have been studied. Enzyme immunoassay (dot-EIA) of polar lipids demonstrates that the fractions of glycolipids and phospholipids of bifidobacteria are highly immunoreactive. Pronounced reactions of major glycolipids and phospholipids with a homologous polyvalent antiserum against B. adolescentis 94-BIM have been observed at antigen concentrations of approximately 100 ng. The antiserum contained high titers of specific antibodies against glycolipids and phospholipids of bifidobacteria, as demonstrated by heterogeneous solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). Experimental data confirming the presence of subpopulations of specific antibodies (antiglycolipid and antiphospholipid) in the blood sera of immunized animals lead to the conclusion that the major glycolipids and phospholipids of bifidobacteria are specific markers appropriate for serological diagnostics.     

硫酸化对金顶侧耳多糖构象及生物活性的影响

从金顶侧耳子实体中分离纯化一半乳甘露聚糖ＰＣ－３。该多糖在水中为无规线团构象,与Ｃｏｎ Ａ可相互结合并产生沉淀,对柯萨奇病毒ＣＢ５有一定的抑制作用,ＰＣ－３经硫酸化修饰后,由于同性电荷的排斥作用,使糖链的无规线团扩展呈伸展状态,局部可能形成螺旋。硫酸化的ＰＣ－３与Ｃｏｎ Ａ不能结合成多糖－蛋白复合物,但显著地提高了抗病毒ＣＢ５的活性。     

新型球孢白僵菌孢子悬乳剂的高效杀蚜活性及其评价方法

用球孢白僵菌（Beauveria bassiana）SG8702的孢子悬乳剂与未剂型化孢子粉对桃蚜进行了杀蚜活性对比测定。孢子悬乳剂与孢子粉分别用水稀释成5个序列浓度,对甘蓝叶片上蚜虫进行相同时间的弥雾接种,前者孢子附着量分别为1.5～701.1个孢子/mm2 ,后者附着量分别为2.8～1005.9个孢子/mm2。蚜虫接种后置于23℃和12L：12D条件下饲养,定时观察8d。经时间—剂量—死亡率模拟分析,悬乳剂的剂量效应参数明显高于孢子粉,且杀蚜时间效应提前。用模型参数估计悬乳剂和孢子粉的LC50,接种后第4天分别为9.0和634个孢子/mm2,第7天为3.3和5.3个孢子/mm2。悬乳剂和孢子粉的LT50随叶面孢子附着量增大而下降,在100个孢子/mm2下为3.2d和4.5d。这表明孢子悬乳剂的杀蚜活性比未剂型化的孢子粉显著增强。作者讨论了杀虫微生物制剂评价的技术规范问题。

Design,Synthesis, and Biological Activity of Guaiazulene Derivatives

Guaiazulene and related derivatives were famous for diverse biological activities. In an effort to discover new highly efficient candidate drugs derived from guaiazulene, four series of guaiazulene derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for antiproliferation, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) signalling pathway agonist activities. Among them, two guaiazulene condensation derivatives showed selective cytotoxic activities towards K562 cell with IC₅₀ values 5.21 μM and 5.14 μM, respectively, accompanied by slight effects on normal cell viability. For the first time, one guaiazulene derivative from series I exhibited potent antiviral activity towards influenza A virus with IC₅₀ of 17.5 μM. A guaiazulene-based chalcone showed higher anti-inflammatory activity than positive drug indomethacin with an inhibitory rate of 34.29 % in zebrafish model in vivo. One guaiazulene-based flavonoid could strongly agitate PPARγ pathway at 20 μM, indicating the potential of guaiazulene derivatives to reduce obesity development and ameliorate hepatic steatosis. Preliminary in silico ADME studies predicted the excellent drug-likeness properties of bioactive guaiazulene derivatives.

基于B超图像评价HIFU治疗剂量对组织损伤程度的影响

基于B超图像分析HIFU治疗中辐照剂量、组织凝固性坏死区域和图像参数之间的关系。通过对高强度聚焦超声辐照新鲜离体组织前后获得的B超图像做数字减影处理,计算图像灰度平均值,同时切片观察并记录生物组织的凝固性坏死区域大小,在此基础上得到大批量数据的统计特性。结果表明：辐照剂量、组织凝固性坏死区域与B超图像灰度平均值在一定范围内成正相关性;当凝固性坏死区域增大到一定程度时,B超图像灰度平均值不再增大,而是呈无规律分布。B超图像灰度可反映组织损伤程度,为实时监控HIFU治疗效果提供依据。     

Metabolic Transformation of Neuropeptide Carnosine Modifies Its Biological Activity

1. The ability of carnosine and carnosine-related compounds (CRCs) to interact with several free oxygen radicals is analyzed.2. Carnosine, the CRCs (imidazole, histidine, anserine), and ergothioneine were found to be equally efficient in singlet oxygen quenching. During generation of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide in the Fenton reaction, carnosine was found to be more effective than the CRCs tested.3. By measuring the chemiluminescence produced by carnosine and CRCs in rabbit leukocytes in the presence of luminol or lucigenin, we conclude that carnosine and other CRCs play a stimulating role in superoxide oxygen production while suppressing the myeloperoxidase system.4. ADP-induced aggregation of human platelets is slightly stimulated by carnosine but is inhibited by acetylanserine.5. The following rank order of efficiency of CRCs was demonstrated while measuring the oxidation of human serum lipoproteins: acetylcarnosine < acetylanserine < homocarnosine = ophidine < carnosine < anserine.6. The results obtained demonstrate that metabolic transformation of carnosine into CRCs in tissues may play an important role in regulating the native antioxidant status of the organism.
