Investigation of yellow flower extract of Tagetes patula L. led to the identification of an aggregate of five phytoceramides. Among them, (2R)‐2‐hydroxy‐N‐[(2S,3S,4R,8E)‐1,3,4‐trihydroxyicos‐8‐en‐2‐yl]icosanamide, (2R)‐2‐hydroxy‐N‐[(2S,3S,4R,8E)‐1,3,4‐trihydroxyicos‐8‐en‐2‐yl]heneicosanamide, (2R)‐2‐hydroxy‐N‐[(2S,3S,4R,8E)‐1,3,4‐trihydroxyicos‐8‐en‐2‐yl]docosanamide, and (2R)‐2‐hydroxy‐N‐[(2S,3S,4R,8E)‐1,3,4‐trihydroxyicos‐8‐en‐2‐yl]tricosanamide were identified as new compounds and termed as tagetceramides, whereas (2R)‐2‐hydroxy‐N‐[(2S,3S,4R,8E)‐1,3,4‐trihydroxyicos‐8‐en‐2‐yl]tetracosanamide was a known ceramide. A steroid (β‐sitosterol glucoside) was also isolated from the subsequent fraction. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, as well as chemical method. Several other compounds were also identified by GC/MS analysis. The fractions and some commercial products, a ceramide HFA, β‐sitosterol, and stigmasterol were evaluated against an economically important cyst nematode, Heterodera zeae. Ceramide HFA showed 100 % mortality, whereas, β‐sitosterol and stigmasterol were 40–50 % active, at 1 % concentration after 24 h of exposure time, while β‐sitosterol glucoside revealed no activity against the nematode. 相似文献

A systematic study of the characterization for racemic species of 4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone was undertaken. The melting point phase diagram of (R)- and (S)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The ternary phase diagram of (R)- and (S)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone with isopropanol was constructed at 15, 20, 25, and 35 degrees C. The crystalline nature of 4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone racemate was also characterized by means of comparison of solid-state FTIR spectra and powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the racemic mixture with those of one of the enantiomers. It is shown that (+/-)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone is a racemic conglomerate. The enthalpies of fusion of (R)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone and (+/-)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone and entropy of mixing of (R)- and (S)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone were calculated using the thermodynamic data. The solubility and supersolubility diagrams of (R)- and (S)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone in isopropanol were determined over a temperature range of 4-35 degrees C. The optical resolution of (+/-)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone was successfully achieved by preferential crystallization. 相似文献

This study examined whether, and by what signaling and ionic mechanisms, pyrimidine nucleotides constrict rat cerebral arteries. Cannulated cerebral arteries stripped of endothelium and pressurized to 15 mmHg constricted in a dose-dependent manner to UTP. This constriction was partly dependent on the depolarization of smooth muscle cells and the activation of voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels. The depolarization and constriction induced by UTP were unaffected by bisindolylmaleimide I, a PKC inhibitor that abolished phorbol ester (PMA)-induced constriction in cerebral arteries. In contrast, the Rhokinase inhibitor Y-27632 attenuated the ability of UTP to both constrict and depolarize cerebral arteries. With patch-clamp electrophysiology, a voltage-dependent delayed rectifying K(+) (K(DR)) current was isolated and shown to consist of a slowly inactivating 4-aminopyridine (4-AP)-sensitive and an -insensitive component. The 4-AP-sensitive K(DR) current was potently suppressed by UTP through a mechanism that was not dependent on PKC. This reflects observations that demonstrated that 1) a PKC activator (PMA) had no effect on K(DR) and 2) PKC inhibitors (calphostin C or bisindolylmaleimide I) could not prevent the suppression of K(DR) by UTP. The Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632 abolished the ability of UTP to inhibit the K(DR) current, as did inhibition of RhoA with C3 exoenzyme. Cumulatively, these observations indicate that Rho kinase signaling plays an important role in eliciting the cerebral constriction induced by pyrimidine nucleotides. Moreover, they demonstrate for the first time that Rhokinase partly mediates this constriction by altering ion channels that control membrane potential and Ca(2+) influx through voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels. 相似文献

Background
Many trials of nebulized therapy have used nebulized saline as a "placebo". However, nebulized isotonic saline is sometimes used to assist sputum expectoration and relieve breathlessness in COPD patients. We designed this study to establish if nebulized saline had a placebo effect or a clinical effect.Methods
40 patients were studied following hospital admission for exacerbated COPD (mean FEV1 30% predicted). Patients were randomised to single-blind administration of either 4 mls of nebulized isotonic saline using an efficient nebulizer (active group n = 20) or an inefficient nebulizer (placebo group n = 20). Spirometry and subjective breathlessness scores (Modified Likert Scale) were measured before nebulized treatment and 10 minutes after treatment.Results
There was no significant change in FEV1 after active or placebo nebulized saline treatment. Patients reported a 4% improvement in mean breathlessness score following placebo (Wilcoxon test; p = 0.37) compared with 23% improvement following active nebulized saline (p = 0.0001). 65% of patients given active nebulized saline but only 5% of the placebo group reported that mucus expectoration was easier after the treatment.Conclusions
This study lends support to the current use of nebulized saline to relieve breathlessness (possibly by facilitating sputum clearance) in COPD patients. Lung function was not affected. Nebulized saline can therefore be used as a placebo in bronchodilator studies involving COPD patients but it cannot be used as a placebo in trials assessing symptom relief. 相似文献6.

S100A11 is a member of the S100 family of EF-hand Ca2+-binding proteins, which is expressed in smooth muscle and other tissues. Ca2+ binding to S100A11 induces a conformational change that exposes a hydrophobic surface for interaction with target proteins. Affinity chromatography with immobilized S100A11 was used to isolate a 70-kDa protein from smooth muscle that bound to S100A11 in a Ca2+-dependent manner and was identified by mass spectrometry as annexin A6. Direct Ca2+-dependent interaction between S100A11 and annexin A6 was confirmed by affinity chromatography of the purified bacterially expressed proteins, by gel overlay of annexin A6 with purified S100A11, by chemical cross-linking, and by coprecipitation of S100A11 with annexin A6 bound to liposomes. The expression of S100A11 and annexin A6 in the same cell type was verified by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry of isolated vascular smooth muscle cells. The site of binding of S100A11 on annexin A6 was investigated by partial tryptic digestion and deletion mutagenesis. The unique NH2 terminal head region of annexin A6 was not required for S100A11 binding, but binding sites were identified in both NH2- and COOH-terminal halves of the molecule. We hypothesize that an agonist-induced increase in cytosolic free [Ca2+] leads to formation of a complex of S100A11 and annexin A6, which forms a physical connection between the plasma membrane and the cytoskeleton, or plays a role in the formation of signaling complexes at the level of the sarcolemma. smooth muscle; protein-protein interaction 相似文献
