FY 2012 Bibliography ................................................................................................................ 87 Letter from the NIEHS/NTP Director The NTP, an interagency program, provides scientific knowledge and functions as a truly translational program to safeguard public health. The NTP is involved in activities to evaluate substances of potential concern for our health and to develop new methods to improve such evaluation procedures. For example, the NTP is taking on the challenge of studying mixtures instead of testing one chemical at a time. In addition, a current project is examining the effects of exposures throughout a life span, to expand our knowledge about effects of prenatal exposures and how they may link to adult disease. The NTP is also leading the Tox21 initiative with the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Advancing Translational Science, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and the Food and Drug Administration. Tox21 is a high throughput-testing program that shows great promise for moving toxicology into a predictive science. As it has done in the past, in fiscal year 2012 (FY 2012), the NTP through scientific collaborations with federal agencies continued to enhance our knowledge about substances that affect health in our homes, workplaces, and other environments. The NTP translated and communicated these findings to the public, industry, federal regulatory agencies, and others so the information could be used to protect public health. The NTP disseminated reports on studies of dietary supplements, skin care products, and widely used industrial chemicals through publication of nine NTP Technical Reports. The final NTP Monograph on Heath Effects of Low-level Lead was published, providing an overview of the science to date and conclusions on the potential health effects from low-level exposures to lead. The NTP also carried out two widely attended workshops: (1) the International Workshop on Alternative Methods for Human and Veterinary Rabies Vaccine Testing: State of the Science and Planning the Way Forward and (2) the International Workshop on Alternative Methods for Leptospira Vaccine Potency Testing: State of the Science and the Way Forward. Of broad interest both nationally and internationally, the NIEHS Office of Health Assessment and Translation initiated modifications in how

  • Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils
    Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils V. I. Babushok,a) P. J. Linstrom, and I. G. Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

Email: [email protected], Acknowledgements Dr Jerome Sarris is funded by an Australian National Health & Medical Research Council fellowship (NHMRC funding ID 628875), in a strategic partnership with The University of Melbourne, The Centre for Human Psychopharmacology at the Swinburne University of Technology. Jerome Sarris, Erica McIntyre and David A. Camfield have no conflicts of interest that are directly relevant to the content of this article. 1 Abstract Research in the area of herbal psychopharmacology has revealed a variety of promising medicines that may provide benefit in the treatment of general anxiety and specific anxiety disorders. However, a comprehensive review of plant-based anxiolytics has been absent to date. Thus, our aim was to provide a comprehensive narrative review of plant-based medicines that have clinical and/or preclinical evidence of anxiolytic activity. We present the article in two parts. In part one, we reviewed herbal medicines for which only preclinical investigations for anxiolytic activity have been performed. In this current article (part two), we review herbal medicines for which there have been both preclinical and clinical investigations for anxiolytic activity.

  • Sage, Skullcap, and Castor Oil
    Sage, Skullcap, and Castor Oil “In this conversation on herbal medicine I want to briefly cover my use of three herbs, Sage, Skullcap, and Castor Oil. I have used these herbs in combination in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy, and in the example of the case history to follow, to save a patient’s leg scheduled for amputation. Several years ago, an elderly man came to see me professionally. He had been a carpenter all his life and now 83 years old he was building homes through Habitat for Humanity. Specifically, he was working to rebuild homes destroyed by hurricane Katrina. He came to see me on the recommendation of another patient and because he was scheduled to have his right leg amputated. The amputation was deemed medically necessary because of damage to a major artery in his leg as the result of a previous vascular surgery. He and his doctors were concerned that he would not survive the surgery, but his main concern was that he would no longer be able to serve people through his Christian mission of rebuilding their damaged homes. His surgery was scheduled in six weeks (he was delaying it as long as possible) and his request of me was to save his leg. His leg was a mess. From just above the knee to his toes his leg was a tobacco brown color (he was a caucasian male). In addition to the extreme discoloration his skin was hardened like plastic. The tissue in the leg appeared to be dead, it had no softness to it.

Rotha,b,c,d,*, Estela Lopezd, Scott Beischeld, Richard B. Westkaempere, Jon M. Evansd aDepartment of Biochemistry, Case Western Reserve University Medical School, Cleveland, OH, USA bDepartment of Neurosciences, Case Western Reserve University Medical School, Cleveland, OH, USA cDepartment of Psychiatry, Case Western Reserve University Medical School, Cleveland, OH, USA dNational Institute of Mental Health Psychoactive Drug Screening Program, Case Western Reserve University Medical School, Cleveland, OH, USA eDepartment of Medicinal Chemistry, Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA Abstract Because psychoactive plants exert profound effects on human perception, emotion, and cognition, discovering the molecular mechanisms responsible for psychoactive plant actions will likely yield insights into the molecular underpinnings of human consciousness. Additionally, it is likely that elucidation of the molecular targets responsible for psychoactive drug actions will yield validated targets for CNS drug discovery. This review article focuses on an unbiased, discovery-based approach aimed at uncovering the molecular targets responsible for psychoactive drug actions wherein the main active ingredients of psychoactive plants are screened at the ‘‘receptorome’’ (that portion of the proteome encoding receptors). An overview of the receptorome is given and various in silico, public-domain resources are described. Newly developed tools for the in silico mining of data derived from the National Institute of Mental Health Psychoactive Drug Screening Program’s (NIMH-PDSP) Ki Database (Ki DB) are described in detail.

Artemisia californica, Mimulus aurantiacus, Equisetum telmateia, Equisetum hyemale, and Marah fabacea were selected from a list of plants reported as having been used for ailments related to infections by tribes located in California. The extracts obtained through steam distillation from E. telmateia, E. hyemale and M. fabacea were assayed for in vitro antibacterial activity against 16 Gram-negative and 6 Gram-positive bacteria using disk diffusion assays and measuring the diameters of inhibition zones. E. telmateia showed the most promising antibacterial activity. The extracts from A. californica, M. aurantiacus and E. telmateia were analyZed for chemical composition, finding eucalyptol, thujone, eugenol, caryophyllene, germacrene D, and propanal as some of the secondary metabolites identified using GC-MS.
