贯叶连翘总提取物对致病细菌的抗菌作用

用平板抑菌法检测了贯叶连翘总提取物对细菌的抗菌谱范围,用最低抑菌浓度(MIC)检测法、最低杀菌浓度(MBC)检测法检测了其抗菌作用的强弱。结果表明提取物对供试革兰氏阳性菌菌株均有较强的抑菌和杀菌作用,对极少数革兰氏阴性菌菌株有较弱的抑菌作用,无杀菌作用。该结果提示提取物抗菌作用可能与细菌细胞壁的结构与组成相关。     

解淀粉芽孢杆菌AF1发酵液的抗菌活性与抗菌机理

测定解淀粉芽孢杆菌AF1发酵液的抗菌谱,对发酵液抗MRSA的活性稳定性及抗MRSA机制进行初步探究,为寻找新的抗MRSA化合物提供实验基础。以耐药金葡菌SA46为病原指示菌,不同p H、温度和蛋白酶处理后,考察AF1发酵液剩余抗菌活性。用显微镜和透射电镜观察经发酵液处理后的SA46形态变化,并用凝胶电泳分析SA46的蛋白质和DNA渗漏情况,初步探讨其抗菌机制。结果显示,AF1发酵液具有广谱抗菌活性:不仅对临床耐药金葡菌、一般临床大肠杆菌和金葡菌有很强抑菌作用,同时对大部分试验的植物病原菌也有较好抑菌作用。发酵液在p H 2.0-9.0,4-80℃,120 min后抗菌活性均保持95%以上;并且对蛋白酶K、胃蛋白酶和胰蛋白酶稳定。SA46经发酵液(MIC)处理后,显微镜和透射电镜观察发现其细胞壁受到不同程度破坏;在DNA和蛋白质电泳图上,试验组SA46的DNA和蛋白质条带很清晰,即SA46蛋白质和DNA出现渗漏,而对照组均没有条带出现,初步推断AF1对MRSA的抗菌机理是破坏病原菌的细胞壁来抑制细胞生长的。菌株AF1可作为抗MRSA药物研发的潜在新来源。

Antifungal effect and mechanism of garlic oil on Penicillium funiculosum

Garlic oil is a kind of fungicide, but little is known about its antifungal effects and mechanism. In this study, the chemical constituents, antifungal activity, and effects of garlic oil were studied with Penicillium funiculosum as a model strain. Results showed that the minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs, v/v) were 0.125 and 0.0313 % in agar medium and broth medium, respectively, suggesting that the garlic oil had a strong antifungal activity. The main ingredients of garlic oil were identified as sulfides, mainly including disulfides (36 %), trisulfides (32 %) and monosulfides (29 %) by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC/MS), which were estimated as the dominant antifungal factors. The observation results by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicated that garlic oil could firstly penetrate into hyphae cells and even their organelles, and then destroy the cellular structure, finally leading to the leakage of both cytoplasm and macromolecules. Further proteomic analysis displayed garlic oil was able to induce a stimulated or weakened expression of some key proteins for physiological metabolism. Therefore, our study proved that garlic oil can work multiple sites of the hyphae of P. funiculosum to cause their death. The high antifungal effects of garlic oil makes it a broad application prospect in antifungal industries.     

Comparison of the effects in vitro of tea tree oil and plaunotol on methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus

The effects in vitro of tea tree oil (TTO) and plaunotol were examined by monitoring the growth of a standard strain of Staphylococcus aureus FDA 209P and of fourteen methicillin-susceptible strains of S. aureus (MSSA), together with twenty methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and the doses for 50% inhibition of growth (ID50) were determined by the micro-broth dilution (MD) method, and the broth dilution with shaking (BDS) method, respectively. The MIC of plaunotol for 50 and 90% of the MSSA and MRSA were assessed by the MD method, as 16 microg/ml and > or = 1,024 microg/ml, respectively. No antibacterial effects of TTO on MSSA and MRSA were detected by the MD method. The growth-inhibitory effects of TTO on S. aureus by the BDS method were examined, and it appeared that TTO was effective over a lower range of concentrations than previously reported. It seems that TTO is very effective in vitro against MSSA and MRSA at high concentrations but less effective below 40 microg/ml of TTO.

大蒜油不同给药途径对癌细胞周期移行过程的影响

本研究采用流式细胞光度术(FCM)分析癌灶局部及肌注大蒜油(GO)后,S180腹水癌细胞周期移行过程的变化。实验结果表明癌灶局部注射 GO 后,组方图上高倍体 DNA 峰值减少,癌细胞由 G_1期向 S 期运行受阻,S 期细胞显著减少,G_1期与 Go 期细胞积累。肌注 Go 对癌细胞周期影响远不如癌灶局部给药明显。Go 与 G_1期癌细胞积累的原因可能与 GO 对癌细胞周期活动选择性的抑制,或特异性杀伤 S 期或 G_2+M 期癌细胞有关。     

四种植物精油对黑翅土白蚁触杀和驱避作用

为筛选出高效防治黑翅土白蚁的天然植物精油,减少有机合成农药的使用,该文研究了大蒜精油、肉桂油、丁香油和印楝素油四种植物精油对黑翅土白蚁的触杀效果和驱避作用。结果表明:大蒜精油、肉桂油和丁香油的浓度为5和10 mg·m L~(-1)时,处理2 h后,黑翅土白蚁的校正死亡率达100%,而相同浓度的印楝素油和对照处理的黑翅土白蚁校正死亡率低于5%。随着处理时间延长,浓度为1.25和2.5 mg·m L~(-1)的大蒜精油、肉桂油和丁香油处理6 h时,黑翅土白蚁的校正死亡率仍达100%,而此时对应的印楝素油和对照处理的黑翅土白蚁校正死亡率仅为10%,说明大蒜精油、肉桂油和丁香油对黑翅土白蚁具有较强的触杀效果。大蒜精油、丁香油和肉桂油在处理黑翅土白蚁2 h后LC_(50)值(半致死量)分别为1.572、1.05和1.03mg·m L~(-1),说明肉桂油对黑翅土白蚁的毒性相对最大,触杀效果最好。此外,10 mg·m L~(-1)的大蒜精油、肉桂油、丁香油和印楝素油的驱避试验表明,处理4、6、8和12 h后,大蒜精油、肉桂油和丁香油三精油处理区的黑翅土白蚁数均显著低于对照区的,驱避率总体93%,而对应的印楝素油的驱避率总体28.5%,表明大蒜精油、丁香油和肉桂油三种植物精油对黑翅土白蚁均有显著的驱避活性。综上可知,四种植物精油中大蒜精油、肉桂油和丁香油在防治黑翅土白蚁方面应用潜力很好,是开发绿色环保白蚁防治药剂的可选材料。     

Liposome containing cinnamon oil with antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm

The global burden of bacterial disease remains high and is set against a backdrop of increasing antimicrobial resistance. There is a pressing need for highly effective and natural antibacterial agents. In this work, the anti-biofilm effect of cinnamon oil on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated. Then, cinnamon oil was encapsulated in liposomes to enhance its chemical stability. The anti-biofilm activities of the liposome-encapsulated cinnamon oil against MRSA biofilms on stainless steel, gauze, nylon membrane and non-woven fabrics were evaluated by colony forming unit determination. Scanning electron microscopy and laser scanning confocal microscopy analyses were employed to observe the morphological changes in MRSA biofilms treated with the encapsulated cinnamon oil. As a natural and safe spice, the cinnamon oil exhibited a satisfactory antibacterial performance on MRSA and its biofilms. The application of liposomes further improves the stability of antimicrobial agents and extends the action time.     

Effect of garlic oil extract on glutathione reductase levels in rats fed on high sucrose and alcohol diets: A possible mechanism of the activity of the oil

The effect on glutathione reductase activities of feeding garlic oil to white albino rats maintained on high sucrose and alcohol diets was studied. Whereas high sucrose and alcohol diets resulted in significant increases in the activity of glutathione reductase in liver, kidneys and serum, the presence of garlic oil restored the levels to near normal. It is proposed that the mechanism of this action of garlic oil involves the active principle, diallyl disulphide, which interacts in an exchange reaction with enzymes and substrates such as glutathione reductase and glutathione which contain thiol groups.
