Plant metabolite profiling reveals the diversity of secondary or specialized metabolites in plant kingdom with its hundreds thousands species. Specialized constitute a vast class chemicals posing significant challenges analytical chemistry. In order to be maximum scientific relevance, reports dealing these compounds and their source species must transparent, make use standards reference materials, based on correctly traceably identified material. Essential aspects qualitative include: (i)...

The genus Leontopodium, mainly distributed in Central and Eastern Asia, consists of ca. 34–58 different species. European Leontopodium alpinum, commonly known as Edelweiss, has a long tradition folk medicine. Recent research resulted the identification prior unknown secondary metabolites, some them with interesting biological activities. Despite this, nearly nothing is about Asian species genus. In this study, we applied proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy liquid...

Abstract Polyamines are important metabolites in plant development and abiotic biotic stress responses. Copper-containing amine oxidases (CuAOs) involved the regulation of polyamine levels cell. CuAOs oxidize primary amines to their respective aldehydes hydrogen peroxide. In plants, intermediates various biosynthetic pathways alkaloids. thought polyamines at only one amino groups, a process frequently resulting monocyclic structures. These have been postulated be pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA)...

Novel antiretroviral drugs are constantly needed for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired syndrome (AIDS) patients to confront the continuously emerging resistance commonly prescribed combination of anti-HIV synthetic agents and their side effects. Amazonian medicinal plants, Licania macrophylla (LM) (Chrysobalanaceae) Ouratea hexasperma (OH) (Ochnaceae), were assayed immunomodulatory activity, by utilizing an established leukocyte cell line simian (SIV). Interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6,...

Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa) is a frequently used herbal remedy for the treatment of mild climacteric symptoms. In present study, modulation γ-aminobutryic acid (GABA)-induced chloride currents (I(GABA)) through GABA type A (GABA(A)) receptors by black extracts and isolated compounds was investigated. GABA(A) receptors, consisting α(1), β(2), γ(2S) subunits, were expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, potentiation I(GABA) measured using two-microelectrode voltage clamp technique....

In our continuing search for new cytotoxic agents, we assayed extracts, fractions, and pure compounds from damiana (Turnera diffusa) against multiple myeloma (NCI-H929, U266, MM1S) cell lines. After a first liquid-liquid solvent extraction, the ethyl acetate layer of an acetone (70%) crude extract was identified as most active fraction. Further separation fraction led to isolation naringenin (1), three apigenin coumaroyl glucosides 2⁻4, five flavone aglycones 5⁻9. Naringenin (1)...

The oleoresin of Copaifera reticulata Ducke, Fabaceae, is a traditional Brazilian remedy used for wide range applications. Commonly named copaiba, the has been found to exhibit strong antimicrobial effects in our previous study, which could be attributed some its diterpenoid constituents. In order find new biological activities and eventually enhance before observed effects, (-)-polyalthic acid (1) kaurenoic (2), together with eight prepared semi-synthetic derivatives (1a-1c 2a-2e) were...
