  • Biologically Active Substances from Unused Plant Materials
    Biologically active substances from unused plant materials Petra Lovecká1, Anna Macůrková1, Kateřina Demnerová1, Zdeněk Wimmer2 1Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, 2Departement of Chemistry of Natural Compounds, University of Chemistry and Technology Prague Technická 3, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic Keywords: Magnolia, honokiol, obovatol, biological activities. Presenting author email: [email protected] Natural products, such as plants extract, either as pure compounds or as standardized extracts, provide unlimited opportunities for new drug discoveries because of the unmatched availability of chemical diversity. Probably based on historical background we utilize only certain plant parts. In many cases there is not enough of required material or collection damages plant itself. The possible solution we could find in utilization of unused or waste plant parts. This work is focused on analysis of bioactive compounds content in different parts of medicinal plants such as genus Magnolia. Stem bark of these trees are part of Chinese traditional medicine. The collection of stem bark is devastating for the tree. Flowers and leaves from Magnolia tripetala, Magnolia obovata and their hybrids were separately extracted with 80% methanol. Resulting methanolic extract were subsequently fractionated with chloroform under acidic conditions and mixture of chloroform and methanol under basic conditions in term of increasing polarity (Harborne, 1998) into four fractions, neutral, moderately polar, basic and polar extract. Each extract was screened

Eugenol, the main component of clove’s essential oil, is an inexpensive and easily available phenylpropene that has been known by humankind since antiquity, and used as a medicinal agent, but also for food flavoring and preservation. The review includes the most relevant results obtained during the last 15 years with regard to the synthetic uses of eugenol. Discussed here are the multiple applications of eugenol in organic synthesis, including its use as starting material or building block for the total synthesis of natural products, their analogs and derivatives, as well as other structurally interesting or bioactive compounds. The preparation technologically relevant macrocycles and polymeric derivatives of eugenol, is included, and the impact of biotechnology on the use of eugenol as feedstock for biotransformations, leading to other valuable small molecules is also addressed.

  • Antiplatelet Activity of Obovatol, a Biphenolic Component of Magnolia Obovata, in Rat Arterial Thrombosis and Rabbit Platelet Aggregation
    Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis Vol.18, No.8 659 Original Article Antiplatelet Activity of Obovatol, a Biphenolic Component of Magnolia Obovata, in Rat Arterial Thrombosis and Rabbit Platelet Aggregation Eun-Seok Park1, Yong Lim2, Seung-Ho Lee1, Byoung-Mog Kwon3, Hwan-Soo Yoo1, Jin-Tae Hong1, 4, and Yeo-Pyo Yun1 1College of Pharmacy, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, Republic of Korea 2Department of Clinical laboratory Science, Dong-eui University, Busan, Republic of Korea 3Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Genomics, Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Daejeon, Republic of Korea 4College of Pharmacy, Medical Research Center, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, Republic of Korea Aim: Thrombosis occurs in the coronary arteries via the activation of platelets, and leads to acute myocardial infarction and sudden death. Obovatol, a major biphenolic component of Magnolia obo- vata leaves, displays anti-inflammatory and acyl Co-A cholesterol acyltrasferase inhibitory effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of obovatol on thrombus formation in vivo and platelet activation in vitro and ex vivo. Methods: We investigated the antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities of obovatol in rat carotid ar- terial thrombosis in vivo along with platelet aggregation in vitro and ex vivo. Its possible cellular mechanism of antiplatelet activity was investigated by testing PLC-γ2 activation, arachidonic acid cascade, calcium mobilization and granule secretion. Results: Oral administration of obovatol prevented carotid thrombosis, but also significantly inhibit- ed collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Obovatol did not change coagulation times, such as activat- ed partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time, indicating that the antithrombotic effect of obovatol might be due to antiplatelet activity rather than anticoagulation activity.

Abstract: We investigated the protective effect and mechanisms of apigenin against cognitive im- pairments in a scopolamine-injected mouse model. Our results showed that intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of scopolamine leads to learning and memory dysfunction, whereas the administration of apigenin (synthetic compound, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day) improved cognitive ability, which was confirmed by behavioral tests such as the T-maze test, novel objective recognition test, and Morris water maze test in mice. In addition, scopolamine-induced lipid peroxidation in the brain was attenuated by administration of apigenin. To further evaluate the protective mechanisms of apigenin on cognitive and memory function, Western blot analysis was carried out. Administration of apigenin decreased the B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X/B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bax/Bcl-2) ratio and suppressed caspase-3 and poly ADP ribose polymerase cleavage. Furthermore, apigenin down-regulated the β-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme, along with presenilin 1 (PS1) and PS2 protein Citation: Kim, Y.; Kim, J.; He, M.; levels.

  • Effect of Cissampelos Pareira Leaves on Anxiety-Like Behavior In
    Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Vo1. 3, No. 3, pp. 188-193 Copyright © 2013 Committee on Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy, Taiwan This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license. Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Journal homepage http://www.jtcm.org Effect of Cissampelos Pareira Leaves on Anxiety‑like Behavior in Experimental Animals Priyanka Thakur, Avtar Chand Rana Department of Pharmacology, Rayat Institute of Pharmacy, Railmajra, SBS Nagar, Punjab, India ABSTRACT The present study was undertaken to evaluate anxiolytic effect of 70% hydroethanolic extract of leaves of Cissampelos pareira in murine models. C. pareira (Menispermaceae) is rich in alkaloids, and phytochemical results showed that it contains alkaloids, flavanoids, terpenoids, steroids, etc., Anxiolytic activity was evaluated by using elevated plus maze test (EPM), light dark (LandD) model, and forced swim test (FS) models in rats. The efficacy of extract (100, 200, 400 mg/kg) was compared with control as well as standard diazepam (DZ; 2 mg/kg, p.o.) in EPM, LandD model, and imipramine (IM; 2.5 mg/kg, p.o.) in FS model. The results showed that DZ and extract significantly increased the number of entries, time spent in open arm, head dip counts, and rearing time, while they decreased fecal count in EPM. DZ and extract also significantly increased the number of crossings and time spent in light compartment, while they decreased duration of immobility in LandD model. In case of FS model, IM and extract significantly increased mobility and swimming time. Thus, the results confirm that hydroethanolic extract ofC. pareira has the potential to be used in the management of anxiety‑like behavior in a dose of 200 and 400 mg/kg.
