越南槐根的抗HIV活性成分研究

为研究越南槐(Sophora tonkinensis)根的抗HIV蛋白酶活性成分及其分子对接机制,采用硅胶、MCI、Sephadex LH-20等多种色谱分离方法,对越南槐根的化学成分进行分离,采用HIV蛋白酶对化合物进行体外抗HIV活性筛选,运用分子对接手段初步探究活性化合物与HIV-1蛋白酶的结合机制。结果表明,从越南槐中共分离得到8个化合物,根据波谱数据分别鉴定为三叶豆紫檀苷(1)、苦参碱(2)、N-acetylnicotinamide (3)、2′-O-甲基腺苷(4)、毛蕊异黄酮苷(5)、玫瑰花苷(6)、环广豆根素(7)、芒柄花苷(8),此外还分离得到塑化剂衍生物邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基)己酯(9)和邻苯二甲酸二异丁酯(10)。抗HIV蛋白酶活性测试显示化合物1和2的IC50分别为13.2和38.6μg/m L,分子对接表明其与HIV蛋白酶有一定的结合作用。化合物3～5为首次从该植物中分离得到,化合物1和2显示中等的抗HIV蛋白酶活性。     

The Ethanol Extract of Syringa oblata Heartwood,a Mongolian Folk Medicine Containing Major Lignans,Exerts Analgesic and Sedative Effects on Mice

The heartwood of Syringa oblata Lindl. (SO) is one of Mongolian folk medicines to treat insomnia and pain, while its pharmacological evaluation and underlying mechanism remain unclear. In this study, the sedative effect of ethanol extract of SO (ESO) was evaluated with the locomotor activity test and the threshold dose of pentobarbital sodium-induced sleep test in mice, and the hot plate test, acetic acid-induced writhing test, and formalin test in mice were used to evaluate its analgesic effect. The underlying mechanism of ESO analgesia was explored by RT-PCR and western blot analysis, which is associated with the regulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Besides, the main constituents of ESO were characterized by LC/MS data analysis and comparison with isolated pure compounds. The current findings brought evidence for clinical application and further pharmacological and phytochemical studies on SO.     

Picroside III,an Active Ingredient of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora,Ameliorates Experimental Colitis by Protecting Intestinal Barrier Integrity

This study aims to explore the protective effects of Picroside III, an active ingredient of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora, on the intestinal epithelial barrier in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced Caco-2 cells and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis in mice. Results show that Picroside III significantly alleviated clinical signs of colitis including body weight loss, disease activity index increase, colon shortening, and colon tissue damage. It also increased claudin-3, ZO-1 and occludin expressions and decreased claudin-2 expression in the colon tissues of mice with colitis. In vitro, Picroside III also significantly promoted wound healing, decreased the permeability of cell monolayer, upregulated the expressions of claudin-3, ZO-1 and occludin and downregulated the expression of claudin-2 in TNF-α treated Caco-2 cells. Mechanism studies show that Picroside III significantly promoted AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo, and blockade with AMPK could significantly attenuate the upregulation of Picroside III in ZO-1 and occludin expressions and the downregulation of claudin-2 expression in TNF-α treated Caco-2 cells. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that Picroside III attenuated DSS-induced colitis by promoting colonic mucosal wound healing and epithelial barrier function recovery via the activation of AMPK.

On line estimation of oxygen uptake rate for insect cells growing in a modified spinner flask

The simple design of traditional spinner flasks makes the on-line estimation of cellular metabolism impossible. An on-line estimation system has been developed and used for the monitoring of oxygen uptake rate (OUR) for insect cells growing in a modified spinner flask. Neglect of oxygen desorption from culture media is a common source of error in OUR measurements for Sf21 cells. Therefore, an algorithm was developed to compensate for the affect of such desorption process on the determination of OUR. A modified spinner flask was successfully used as a low-volume bioreactor for insect cell cultivation and the OUR measurement developed here is both convenient and reliable.     

小麦中期染色体银染蛋白的分析

对小麦中期染色体中银染蛋白的大小、形状和分布频率进行图像分析,看到：染色体顺的银染蛋白以颗粒状的形式存在,其大小不同,分布不均匀,数量差异也较大;从形状来看,大的银粒为点状,小的银粒有的为点状,有的实际为短纤维状,结果表明：染色体骨架在小麦中是真实存在的,骨架蛋白以颗粒和纤维状的形式分布于整个染色体中。
