两面针提取物(S-O)对小鼠镇痛、抗炎和止血作用的研究

本研究对两面针根的提取物S-O进行了镇痛、止血和抗炎药理实验,每种作用选用两种实验方法来评价。镇痛作用采用热板法和扭体法。热板法实验显示,S-O在150mg/kg剂量时,小鼠痛阈值明显提高（P〈0．01）;扭体法实验显示,S-O在150mg/kg剂量为时,对冰醋酸致痛的小鼠扭体反应次数减少了70．96％（P〈0．01）。抗炎实验采用二甲苯致小鼠耳廓肿胀法及腹腔染料渗出法。二甲苯致炎剂实验表明,S-O在150mg/kg剂量时,对二甲苯所致小鼠耳廓肿胀有明显抑制作用,抑制率为63．45％（P〈0．01）;冰醋酸所致的腹腔毛细血管通透性实验中,S-O在150mg/kg和75mg/kg两个剂量组时,对小鼠的抗炎效果分别为52．94％（P〈0．01）和52．00％（P〈0．01）。止血实验采用毛细玻璃管法和载玻片法。毛细玻璃管实验表明S-O在150mg/kg和75mg/kg两个剂量时,凝血时间明显缩短（P〈0．01）;载玻片实验表明S-O在150mg/kg剂量时,凝血时间明显缩短（P〈0．01）。总之,两面针中提取物S-O对小鼠具有显著的镇痛、止血和抗炎作用。

Growth activation of the microalga Isochrysis galbana by the aqueous extract of the seaweed Monostroma nitidum

Cell growth of the marine microalga Isochrysis galbana was regulated by the addition of seaweed extracts in the culture medium. Methanol-soluble extracts from 27 species of seaweed showed growth activation only from Enteromorpha linza, and growth inhibition from Ishige foliacea and Sargassum sagamianum. Water-soluble extracts from Grateloupia turuturu and Monostroma nitidum showed growth activation, while none of the seaweed showed growth inhibition. From results of growth activation of extracts on I. galbana, the water extract of M. nitidum was the most effective up to two-fold increase in cell density with the addition of 1 mg mL^-1 of extract to the medium. The cell growth rate was increased from 0.52 to 0.65 d^-1. Cell size, gross biochemical compositions, fatty acid compositions, and digestion efficiency by shellfish differed marginally between cultures of I. galbana grown with and without the M. nitidum aqueous extract. This extract has also enhanced the growth of other feed microalgae tested, including Dunaliella salina. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

New Acid Proteases from Scytalidium lignicolum M-133

Rhamnan sulfate was extracted with boiling water from the cell wall of Monostroma nitidum, and the resulting extract was purified by ion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. The polysaccharide, which is regarded as a homopolysaccharide, was 6-fold more antithrombin-active than the heparin standard. The antithrombin activity was decreased, by desulfation, although the non-active product still retained 8% of the sulfate ester. A comparative structural study of the intact rhamnan sulfate and rhamnan, its desulfated product, by periodate oxidation, Smith degradation and methylation analysis revealed the rhamnan sulfate to consist of α-1,3-linked L-rhamnose residues, some of which were substituted with sulfate groups mainly at position O-2. Minor amounts of internal 1,2-linked rhamnose and branched rhamnose linkages were also detected.     

Alkaloids from the roots of Zanthoxylum nitidum and their antiviral and antifungal effects

Five alkaloids, 5,6-dihydro-6-methoxynitidine (1), dictamnine (2), gamma-fagarine (3), skimmianine (4), and 5-methoxydictamnine (5), were isolated from the roots of Zanthoxylum nitidum. Their structures and configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and X-ray analysis. Compounds 1, 4, and 5 showed in vitro antiviral effect against hepatitis B virus, and compounds 2, 3, and 5 demonstrated marked antimitotic and antifungal activity.
