Comparative studies of the polysaccharides from species of the genus Ramalina-lichenized fungi-of three distinct habitats

Several structurally different glucans (alpha- and beta-) and galactomannans were characterized as components of four species of the genus Ramalina, namely R. dendriscoides, R. fraxinea, R. gracilis and R. peruviana. Freeze-thawing treatment of hot aqueous extracts furnished as precipitates (PW) linear alpha-D-glucans of the nigeran type, with regularly distributed (1-->3)- and (1-->4)-linkages in a 1:1 ratio. The supernatants (SW) contained alpha-D-glucans with (1-->3)- and (1-->4)-linkages in a molar ratio of 3:1. The lichen residues were then extracted with 2% aq. KOH, and the resulting extracts submitted to the freeze-thawing treatment, giving rise to precipitates (PK2) of a mixture of alpha-glucan (nigeran) and beta-glucan, which were suspended in aqueous 0.5% NaOH at 50 degrees C, dissolving preferentially the beta-glucan. These were linear with (1-->3)-linkages (laminaran). The mother liquor of the KOH extractions (2% and 10% aq. KOH) was treated with Fehling's solution to give precipitates (galactomannans). The galactomannans are related, having (1-->6)-linked alpha-D-mannopyranosyl main chains, substituted at O-4 and in a small proportion at O-2,4 by beta-D-galactopyranosyl units. Despite the different habitats of these lichenized fungi, all species studied in this investigation have a similar pool of polysaccharides.     

Antioxidant activity of leaf extracts from Bauhinia monandra

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.

Incorporation of 5-substituted uracil derivatives into nucleic acids. Part IV.The synthesis of 5-ethynyluracil.

5-Acetyluracil (I) has been treated with POCI3 to give 5-(1-chlorovinyl)-2,4-dichloropyrimidine (II). Treatment of II with KOEt gave a mixture of 2-ethoxy-5-ethynyl-4 (3H)-pyrimidinone (IIIA) and 4-ethoxy-5-ethynyl-2 (1H)-pyrimidinone (IIIB). IIIA and IIIB were isolated and characterised. The mixture of IIIA and IIIB upon treatment with HCI gave 5(1-chlorovinyl)uracil (IV). Reaction of IV with KOEt gave 5-ethynyluracil (V). 5-Ethynyluracil was more easily obtained by the treatment of II with KOH in aqueous dioxan.     

Simple separation of tritiated water and [3H]deoxyuridine from [5-3H]deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate in the thymidylate synthase assay

A simple micromethod was developed for the accurate measurement of the activity of dTMP synthase in rat liver crude extracts. The reaction product of dTMP synthase activity assay, i.e., tritiated water, generated by the release of tritium from carbon-5 of [5-3H]deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (dUMP), was separated simply by 100% KOH absorption from [5-3H]deoxyuridine (dUrd), which is the side-product by dephosphorylation of [5-3H]deoxyuridine (dUrd), which is the side-product by dephosphorylation of [5-3H]dUMP during the enzyme reaction. Tritiated water was trapped in three droplets of 100% KOH deposited on the underside of the vessels' lids, while [3H]dUrd remained in the bottom of vessels after absorption of the substrate, [5-3H]dUMP, from the reaction mixture by charcoal treatment. Under standard assay conditions in the crude extract of rat liver, the specific activities of dTMP synthase and dUMP phosphatase were 0.092 +/- 0.002 and 0.351 +/- 0.013 nmol/h/mg protein, respectively. This method was also adapted for dTMP synthase assay in crude extracts of rat hepatoma 3924A. The major advantages of this procedure are the elimination of the phosphatase activity which interferes with the estimation of dTMP synthase activity in crude extracts, one-step separation of 3H2O, high sensitivity (with a limit of detection of 10 pmol of 3H2O production), high reproducibility (less than +/- 4.3%), and capability to measure activity in small amounts of sample (30-45 micrograms protein).

Antiulcerogenic activity of crude extract, fractions and populnoic acid isolated from Austroplenckia populnea (Celastraceae)

Many plant crude extracts and their isolated compounds are the most attractive sources of new drugs and show promising results for the treatment of gastric ulcers. Austroplenckia populnea is commonly known as "marmelinho-do campo, mangabeira-brava, mangabarana and vime" and it has been used in folk medicine as anti-dysenteric and anti-rheumatic. Powdered bark wood (3.25 kg) was macerated with aqueous ethanol (96%) and the extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 406 g of crude hydralcoholic extract. The hydralcoholic extract was suspended in aqueous methanol and partitioned with hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) in sequence, yielding 8.0 g, 9.5 g and 98.17 g of crude extracts, respectively. Chromatography of the hexane extract over a silica gel column led to the isolation of the triterpene populnoic acid. The oral administration of hydralcoholic, hexane, chloroform and EtOAc extracts (200 mg/kg) decreased the ulcer lesion index (ULI) by 83.15%, 46.87%, 32.2%, 68.12%, respectively. Oral administration of populnoic acid (100 mg/kg) diminished the ULI by 55.29%. All the obtained results were significant in comparison with the negative control, with exception of the chloroform extract.     

A (1-->6)-linked beta-mannopyrananan, pseudonigeran, and a (1-->4)-linked beta-xylan, isolated from the lichenised basidiomycete Dictyonema glabratum

Extraction of Dictyonema glabratum with hot 2% (w/v) aqueous KOH at 100 degrees C, followed by neutralisation and freeze-thawing, gave an insoluble glucan. The residue was further extracted by a similar process, but with hot 10% (w/v) aqueous KOH, furnishing a mixture of glucan, mannan and xylan. The mannan and xylan were obtained via precipitation of its copper complex with Fehling's solution, leaving the glucan in the supernatant. The insoluble complex was finally purified through gel permeation chromatography. Methylation analysis, one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance examination showed the polysaccharides to be a (1-->3)-linked alpha-glucan (pseudonigeran) and a (1-->4)-linked beta-xylan, both not previously encountered in lichens, and a newly discovered (1-->6)-linked beta-mannan.
