  • Infraspecific Variability in the Flavonoid Composition of Artemisia Vulgaris L
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Acta Bot. Croat. 65 (1), 13–18, 2006 CODEN: ABCRA25 ISSN 0365–0588 Infraspecific variability in the flavonoid composition of Artemisia vulgaris L. MILENA NIKOLOVA* Institute of Botany, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 23, Acad. G. Bonchev str. 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria Surface flavonoid profiles in forty populations of Artemisia vulgaris L. (Asteraceae) were analyzed. The major constituents observed in the leaf exudates were methylated flavonoid aglycones based mainly on quercetin. Three infraspecific flavonoid chemotypes were de- termined, the chrysosplenetin (quercetagetin 3,6,7,3’-tetramethyl ether) chemotype, the artemetin (quercetagetin 3,6,7,3’,4’-pentamethyl ether) chemotype and chemotype with- out these two compounds. Most of the populations corresponded to these chemotypes. Key words: Artemisia vulgaris, Asteraceae, flavonoid aglycones, chrysosplenetin, arte- metin, chemotype Introduction Surface flavonoid aglycones are often used in chemotaxonomic studies on Asteraceae at the generic and species level (VALANT-VETSCHERA and WOLLENWEBER 1996, WOLLEN- WEBER et al. 1997, STEVENS et al. 1999). Recent articles showed that a flavonoid pattern couldalsobespecificforachemotype(REP^ÁK et al. 1999, WILLIAMS et al. 2000, MARTONFI et al. 2001, VIEIRA et al. 2003). The species of the genus Artemisia (Asreraceae) have been extensively surveyed for their surface flavonoid constituents (WOLLENWEBER et al. 1989, VALANT-VETSCHERA and WOLLENWEBER 1995, WOLLENWEBER and VALANT-VETSCHERA 1996). Artemisia vulgaris L (Asteraceae) is a perennial polymorphic species, widespread in temperate areas (South Europe, North Africa, North America and Asia). Simple flavonol methyl ethers have been reported for West-European populations (VALANT-VETSCHERA et al.

In vivo studies showed that BPA exposure has deleterious effects on spermatogenesis by disturbing the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and inducing oxidative stress in testis. This compound seems to disrupt hormone signalling even at low concentrations, modifying the levels of inhibin B, oestra- diol, and testosterone. The adverse effects on seminal parameters are mainly supported by studies based on urinary BPA concentration, showing a negative association between BPA levels and sperm concentration, motility, and sperm DNA damage. Recent studies explored potential approaches to treat or prevent BPA-induced testicular toxicity and male infertility. Since the effect of BPA on testicular cells and spermatozoa is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species, most of the pharmacological approaches are based on the use of natural or synthetic antioxidants.

  • The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants
    medicines Review The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants William N. Setzer 1,2 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL 35899, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-256-824-6519 2 Aromatic Plant Research Center, 230 N 1200 E, Suite 102, Lehi, UT 84043, USA Received: 25 October 2018; Accepted: 8 November 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: Background: Native Americans have had a rich ethnobotanical heritage for treating diseases, ailments, and injuries. Cherokee traditional medicine has provided numerous aromatic and medicinal plants that not only were used by the Cherokee people, but were also adopted for use by European settlers in North America. Methods: The aim of this review was to examine the Cherokee ethnobotanical literature and the published phytochemical investigations on Cherokee medicinal plants and to correlate phytochemical constituents with traditional uses and biological activities. Results: Several Cherokee medicinal plants are still in use today as herbal medicines, including, for example, yarrow (Achillea millefolium), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), and blue skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). This review presents a summary of the traditional uses, phytochemical constituents, and biological activities of Cherokee aromatic and medicinal plants. Conclusions: The list is not complete, however, as there is still much work needed in phytochemical investigation and pharmacological evaluation of many traditional herbal medicines. Keywords: Cherokee; Native American; traditional herbal medicine; chemical constituents; pharmacology 1. Introduction Natural products have been an important source of medicinal agents throughout history and modern medicine continues to rely on traditional knowledge for treatment of human maladies [1]. Traditional medicines such as Traditional Chinese Medicine [2], Ayurvedic [3], and medicinal plants from Latin America [4] have proven to be rich resources of biologically active compounds and potential new drugs.

  • Discogenic Back Pain : the Induction and Prevention of a Pro-Inflammatory Cascade in Intervertebral Disc Cells in Vitro
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Discogenic back pain : the induction and prevention of a pro-inflammatory cascade in intervertebral disc cells in vitro Quero, Lilian Abstract: Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent symptom that more than 80% of the population experience once in their lifetime. This can lead to severe impairment of the workaday life and cause enormous costs in the society. Because LBP mostly appears as a non-specific back pain symptom, provoked by the spine or its environment, the evaluation of the source is bearing some challenge. Whereas the pathomorphological source of pain is well defined in the specific spinal pathology, such as in the caseofa scoliosis or sciatica, finding a correlation between the source of pain and a certain abnormality isdifficult in non-specific LPB symptoms. This is accompanied by the disadvantage of finding a suitable treatment. One possible source of LPB represents the intervertebral disc (IVD), which can alter from a pain free (asymptomatic) to a painful (symptomatic) IVD during degeneration, leading to so called discogenic back pain. Provocative discography is to date the only means to assign LBP to a degenerated disc, with its usage being under dispute. The IVD has an important function as a shock absorber, as there is a high load on the spine. During a lifetime, our IVD becomes degenerated which means its matrix is more catabolized then anabolized, leading to an overall matrix breakdown and decreased quality of the IVD. The matrix consists of long protein chains and sugars, responsible for the ability to attract water, comparable to a sponge.

Introduction Pseudocereals grains are edible seeds belonging to dicotyledonous species that are known as such due to their similar physical appearance and high starch content similar to true cereals (monocotyledonous of the Poaceae family) (Alvarez-Jubete et al., 2010a). Pseudocereals are promising crops of future due to their high genetic variability that is advantageous for them to be adapted to different environments from tropical to temperate climatic conditions (Joshi et al., 2018 and 2019; Ruiz et al., 2013). The most important species are quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd), amaranth ( Amaranthus sp.) and buckwheat (Fagopyrum sp.).

Naturforsch. 62c, 155Ð163 (2007); received October 26/November 24, 2006 Members of several genera of Asteraceae, belonging to the tribes Mutisieae, Cardueae, Lactuceae (all subfamily Cichorioideae), and of Astereae, Senecioneae, Helenieae and Helian- theae (all subfamily Asteroideae) have been analyzed for chemodiversity of their exudate flavonoid profiles. The majority of structures found were flavones and flavonols, sometimes with 6- and/or 8-substitution, and with a varying degree of oxidation and methylation. Flava- nones were observed in exudates of some genera, and, in some cases, also flavonol- and flavone glycosides were detected. This was mostly the case when exudates were poor both in yield and chemical complexity. Structurally diverse profiles are found particularly within Astereae and Heliantheae. The tribes in the subfamily Cichorioideae exhibited less complex flavonoid profiles. Current results are compared to literature data, and botanical information is included on the studied taxa.

(Asteraceae) is a medicinal plant traditionally used for the treatment of fevers, migraine headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach aches, toothaches, insect bites, infertility, and problems with menstruation and labor during childbirth. The feverfew herb has a long history of use in traditional and folk medicine, especially among Greek and early European herbalists. Feverfew has also been used for psoriasis, allergies, asthma, tinnitus, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. The plant contains a large number of natural products, but the active principles probably include one or more of the sesquiterpene lactones known to be present, including parthenolide.
