Adjuvant and haemolytic activities of 47 saponins purified from medicinal food plants were examined. The compounds showed various levels both adjuvant activities. Soyasaponins lablabosides strong activity but little activity. Jujubosides Escins weaker than the adjuvant-control, Comparison functional groups each saponin revealed that acyl residue in saponin, aldehyde group at carbon 4 aglycone, branched sugar chains attached to not essential for Furthermore, with an or oxide-ring moiety...
We investigate extremely low programming current and fast switching time of a perpendicular tunnel-magnetoresistance (P-TMR) for spin-transfer torque using P-TMR cell 50 nm-diameter. A L1 <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sub> -crystalline ordered alloy is used as free layer that has excellent thermal stability damping constant about 0.03. The 49 uA the 4 nsec are also demonstrated.

The TMR ratio in MTJ was strongly dependent on Fe interfacial layer thickness. lattice mismatch between MgO(001) barrier and -FePt(001) is too for MgO grow epitaxially layer. insertion of...
During the studies on chemical characterization of crude drug precession, constituents Ginseng Radix Rubra were investigated by comparing with those Radix. Panaxynol (4), ginsenosides Ro, Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1, Rg2 (11), Rg3 (10a), and Rh1 (9) identified as common both Ginseng, whereas panaxytriol (1), ginsenoside Rh2 (8), 20 (R)-ginsenoside (9a), (S)-ginsenoside (10), (11a) elucidated characteristic Rubra. It was also found that contained larger quantities (9), (11) than The less...
The methanolic extracts of several natural medicines and medicinal foodstuffs were found to show an inhibitory effect on rat lens aldose reductase. In most cases, flavonoids isolated as the active constituents by bioassay-guided separation, among them, quercitrin (IC(50)=0.15 microM), guaijaverin (0.18 desmanthin-1 (0.082 microM) exhibited potent activity. Desmanthin-1 showed activity, which was equivalent that a commercial synthetic reductase inhibitor, epalrestat (0.072 microM). order...
Abstract Background The rhizomes of Panax japonicus are used as a folk medicine for treatment life-style related diseases such arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus substitute ginseng roots in China Japan. Obesity is closely associated with life-style-related diseases. This study was performed to clarify whether chikusetsusaponins prevent obesity induced mice by high-fat diet 9 weeks. Methods We two vivo experiments. In one, female ICR...
The methanolic extract from the male flowers of Borassus flabellifer was found to inhibit increase serum glucose levels in sucrose-loaded rats at a dose 250 mg/kg, p.o. From extract, six new spirostane-type steroid saponins, borassosides A—F (1—6), were isolated together with 23 known constituents. structures (1—6) elucidated on basis chemical and physicochemical evidences. In addition, principal saponin, dioscin (13), inhibited 50
For the first time, 4Gbit density STT-MRAM using perpendicular MTJ in compact cell was successfully demonstrated through tight distributions for resistance and magnetic properties. This paper includes results regarding parasitic control process, stack engineering. Both of successful 4Gb read write operations were performed with high TMR, low Ic. result will brighten prospect high-density STT-MRAM.
The 80% aqueous methanolic extract from the bulbs of Crinum yemense showed a potent inhibitory effect on nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages. Three new crinine-type alkaloids, yemenines A (1), B (2), and C (3), were isolated herbal together with six known alkaloids. absolute configurations 1−3 determined basis chemical physicochemical evidence. effects alkaloids macrophages examined, several e.g. 1, (+)-bulbispermine (6), (+)-crinamine (7),...
The saponin fraction from the flower buds of Panax notoginseng exhibited protective effect on liver injury induced by d-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide. From with hepatoprotective effect, five new dammarane-type triterpene saponins, notoginsenosides-O (1), -P (2), -Q (3), -S (4), -T (5), were isolated together nine known protopanaxadiol oligoglycosides. structures saponins elucidated basis chemical physicochemical evidence. principal roots found to show potent effects.
Eight cucurbitane-type triterpene glycosides called goyaglycosides-a, -b, -c, -d, -e, -f, -g, and -h three oleanane-type saponins termed goyasaponins I, II, III were isolated from the fresh fruit of Japanese Momordica charantia L. (Cucurbitaceae) together with five known momordicosides A, C, F1, K. The structures goyaglycosides elucidated on basis chemical physicochemical evidence.
Mangiferin, three catechins, and two catechin dimers were isolated from the roots of Salacia reticulata (SRE), examined their inhibitory activities against several carbohydrate metabolize enzymes (sucrase, maltase, isomaltase, α-amylase, aldose reductase). Among them, mangiferin was found to inhibit sucrase, reductase rat with IC50 values 87, 216 1.4 μg/ml, respectively. The are competitive for sucrase isomaltase inhibitor constant (Ki) 55 μg/ml 70 In order determine contents in water...
