多脉暗罗（番荔枝科）名实考

经过对多脉暗罗Polyalthia pingpienensis P. T. Li主模式和等模式的详细研究,发现其主模式是混杂标本。该标本上的枝和花以及等模式是斜脉暗罗P. plagioneura,而叶属于另一种尚不能鉴定出学名的植物。为多脉暗罗指定了后选模式,并将其处理为斜脉暗罗的异名。     

The identity of Polyalthia pingpienensis P. T. Li（Annonaceae）

An examination of the holotype of Polyalthia pingpienensis P. T. Li has shown that the holotype is an admixture. The branch and the flower on the sheet should be referred to P. plagioneura Diels,whereas the detached leaf belongs to another species,whose i     

Essential Oils of Polyalthia suberosa Leaf and Twig and Their Cytotoxic and Antimicrobial Activities

Essential oils from the leaf and twig of Polyalthia suberosa (Roxb.) Thwaites were analyzed using GC/MS/FID. A total of sixty-three constituents were namely identified accounting for 96.03 and 94.12 % in the hydrodistilled oils of the leaf and twig, respectively. Monoterpenes, monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenes, and sesquiterpenoids were characteristic derivatives of P. suberosa essential oils. Sesquiterpenes bicyclogermacrene (26.26 %) and (E)-caryophyllene (7.79 %), and monoterpene β-pinene (12.71 %) were the major constituents of the leaf oil. Sesquiterpenes (E)-caryophyllene (17.17 %) and α-humulene (9.55 %), sesquiterpenoid caryophyllene oxide (9.41 %), and monoterpenes camphene (8.16 %) and tricyclene (6.35 %) were to be main components in the twig oil. The leaf oil indicated cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines HepG2, MCF7 and A549 with the IC₅₀ values of 60.96–69.93 μg/mL, while the twig oil inhibited MCF7 with the IC₅₀ value of 66.70 μg/mL. Additionally, the twig oil successfully suppressed the growth of the negative Gram bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, fungus Aspergillus niger, and yeast Candida albicans with the same MIC value of 50 μg/mL, whereas the leaf oil had the same result on the negative Gram bacterium Escherichia coli.

暗罗属植物叶的比较解剖学研究

利用扫描电镜技术、叶片叶片离析方法和石蜡切片法对暗罗属12种植物叶和形态结构进行了比较研究。结果表明,叶表皮细胞形状、气孔器形态、表皮毛类型、表皮细胞中晶体类型、叶肉中油细胞分布位置、栅栏组织和海绵组织厚度的比值,以及主脉维管组织的结构特征等具有明显的种间差异。可以利用这些叶的解剖特征将暗罗属植物相互区别开来。

Further fragmentation of the polyphyletic genus Polyalthia (Annonaceae): molecular phylogenetic support for a broader delimitation of Marsypopetalum

The species-rich genus Polyalthia has previously been shown to be highly polyphyletic, with species represented in at least five different clades. The Polyalthia species that are associated with Marsypopetalum and Trivalvaria (as revealed either by previous phylogenetic studies or inferred on the basis of comparative morphology) were included in a molecular phylogenetic study based on three chloroplast DNA regions (matK, rbcL and trnL-F). Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses consistently revealed that several Polyalthia species form a well-supported clade with Marsypopetalum pallidum, and that this clade is sister to Trivalvaria. Diagnostic morphological characters for the clades are re-evaluated and shown to be congruent with the molecular phylogeny. Five Polyalthia species (P. crassa, P. littoralis, P. lucida, P. modesta and P. tristis) are accordingly transferred to Marsypopetalum.     

Plagionicin A,With C5-OH,A New Monotetrahydrofuran Acetogenin

Compounds P4 and P5 had been isolated from the seeds of Polyalthia plagioneura Diels. The former was identified as howiicin A by the spectral analysis of [ α ]D, IR, 1 H - NMR, 13C-NMR and MS, the latter was characterized as a new monotetrahydrofuran annonaceous acetogenin with C5-OH, which was named plagionicin A.     

In vitro cytotoxic potential of Polyalthia longifolia on human cancer cell lines and induction of apoptosis through mitochondrial-dependent pathway in HL-60 cells

Polyalthia longifolia is a lofty evergreen tree found in India and Sri Lanka. We are reporting first time the anticancer potential of P. longifolia leaves extract (A001) and its chloroform fraction (F002). Both inhibited cell proliferation of various human cancer cell lines in which colon cancer cells SW-620 showed maximum inhibition with IC(50) value 6.1 microg/ml. Furthermore, F002 induce apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells as measured by several biological end points. F002 induce apoptotic bodies formation, DNA ladder, enhanced annexin-V-FITC binding of the cells, increased sub-G(0) DNA fraction, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(mt)), release of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-9, caspase-3, and cleavage of poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) in HL-60 cells. All the above parameters revealed that F002-induced apoptosis through the mitochondrial-dependent pathway in HL-60 cells.
