山药化学成分的研究

从胡椒科植物山蒟中分得两个新木脂素类成分(Ia)和(Ⅱ),以及巴豆环氧素(Crorepoxide)(Ⅲ)和β-谷甾醇(Ⅳ)。经光谱分析及化学鉴定,(Ia)、(Ⅱ)为新结构,分别命名为山蒟素 B(hancinone)、山蒟素 C(hancinone C)。     

延胡索分类的化学证据

东阳产延胡索与大连产齿瓣延胡索经成分分离和TLC、HPLC对比,发现延胡索以啊扑啡类生物碱如glaucine为主,而齿瓣延胡索则含corynoline类生物碱。根据生物碱的类型及含量比较,二者有明显差异,结合延胡索的植物形态和植化分类特征判断,将延胡索作为与齿瓣延胡索近缘的独立种处理较为合理,即为Corydalis yanhusuo W. T. Wang ex Z.Y. Su et C. Y. Wu     

色木槭的变异式样及其分类学

色木槭(Aeer mono Maxim.)是分布于亚洲东部的一个变异极大的种。本文报道了7个亚种:色木槭(原亚种)(subsp.mono);海岛色木槭(亚种)(subsp.marmoraturn(Nichols.)T.Z.Hsu);毛萼色木槭(亚种)(subsp.glabrum(Levl.et Vant.)T.Z.Hsu);里光色木槭(亚种)(subsp.trichobasis(Nakai)T.Z.Hsu);金沙色木槭(亚种)(subsp.tricuspis(Rehd.)T.Z.Hsu);弯翅色木槭(亚种)(subsp.incurvaturn(Fang et P.L.Chiu)T.Z.Hsu);粉绿色木槭(亚种)(subsp.glaucum(Koidz.)T.Z.Hsu),讨论了其变异式样和地理分布。

Butanol Extract of Acanthopanax senticosus (Rupr. et Maxim.) Harms Alleviates Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet

This study investigated the effect of butanol extract of AS (ASBUE) on atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE^−/−) mice. The mice were administered ASBUE (390 or 130 mg/kg/day) or rosuvastatin (RSV) via oral gavage for eight weeks. In ApoE^−/− mice, ASBUE suppressed the abnormal body weight gain and improved serum and liver biochemical indicators. ASBUE remarkably reduced the aortic plaque area, improved liver pathological conditions, and lipid metabolism abnormalities, and altered the intestinal microbiota structure in ApoE^−/− mice. In the vascular tissue of ASBUE-treated mice, P-IKKβ, P-NFκB, and P-IκBα levels tended to decrease, while IκB-α increased in high fat-diet-fed atherosclerotic mice. These findings demonstrated the anti-atherosclerotic potential of ASBUE, which is mediated by the interaction between the gut microbiota and lipid metabolism and regulated via the Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway. This work paves the groundwork for subsequent studies to develop innovative drugs to treat atherosclerosis.     

苦瓜和瓜蒌体内皮质醇含量的测定

利用灵敏度高,专一性强的放射免疫法（ＲＩＡ）测定了苦瓜和瓜萎不同器官中皮质醇的含量。结果表明：苦瓜和瓜萎各器官均含有皮质醇,且含量在５０～４５０ｎｇ／ｇ．ＦＷ;顶芽中含量最高,其次是花器官;苦瓜和瓜篓雌花皮质醇含量明显高于雄花,且雌花在授粉后当天含量最高,说明皮质醇可能在植物的生长发育过程中起某种作用。     

In vitro dissociation-recombination of malate dehydrogenase subunits in Corydalis solida

Summary Two allelic forms of NAD specific malate dehydrogenase were found in samples of a wild population of Corydalis solida. The dimeric nature and the origin of the heterodimeric form has been demonstrated by in vitro dissociation and recombination of the subunits detected by subsequent electrophoresis. The method is applicable for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of crude leaf extracts of individual MDH isozyme forms.     

新疆药用延胡索资源调查

作者对新疆维吾尔自治区的9个市、县进行了药用延胡索的资源调查,采集植物标本70余份,弄清药用种类主要是3种,即Corydalis glaucescens Regel,C.ledebouriana Kir.et Kar.和C.schanginii(Pall.)Fedtsch.;初步了解了3种药用延胡索植物的分布状况,并对块茎中总生物碱的含量作了分析。     

Rhododendrol biosynthesis and metabolism in Acer nikoense callus

Cell suspensions derived from Acer nikoense callus, not containing (S)-rhododendrol, converted 4-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2- butanone into (R)-, (S)-rhododendrol and their glycosides. (R)- and (S)-rhododendrol formed was only detected in the culture medium and their glycosides only in the cells. The former compound disappeared within a short time and the latter one also tended to decrease during prolonged culture. Quantitative analysis of rhododendrol glycosides in the callus showed that most of them were (S)-rhododendrol 2-O--D-glucopyranoside and its content was much lower than that of the original plants. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998     

不同理化因子对雪莲培养细胞中黄酮类形成的影响

研究了不同理化因子对水母雪莲(Saussurea medusa Maxim)愈伤组织生长及黄酮类化合物生物合成的影响。结果表明,有利于细胞生长及黄酮形成的合适温度为25℃。白光对愈伤组织生长无促进作用,但有利于黄酮的形成。培养基中添加1mg／L NAA和O．2mg／L的KT组合对细胞的生长较有促进作用。5％蔗糖和1％葡萄糖的组合有利于细胞的生长和黄酮的形成。用⁶⁰C0-γ射线辐照愈伤组织,在剂量为4000Gy的条件下,获得一个合成黄酮能力高于原愈伤组织70％的细胞系。用高效液相和紫外分光光度法,测定离体培养光照条件下干细胞总黄酮的含量为3．2％,是暗培养的4．4倍。培养温度25℃时干细胞黄酮的含量为2．02％,分别为20℃,35℃时的5倍和3．2倍。
