Prisinzano _________________________________ Dr. Brian S. J. Blagg _________________________________ Dr. Michael F. Rafferty _________________________________ Dr. Paul R. Hanson _________________________________ Dr. Susan M. Lunte Date Defended: July 18, 2012 The Dissertation Committee for Katherine M. Prevatt-Smith certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: INVESTIGATION OF NATURAL PRODUCT SCAFFOLDS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OPIOID RECEPTOR LIGANDS _________________________________ Chairperson: Dr. Thomas E. Prisinzano Date approved: July 18, 2012 ii ABSTRACT Kappa opioid (KOP) receptors have been suggested as an alternative target to the mu opioid (MOP) receptor for the treatment of pain because KOP activation is associated with fewer negative side-effects (respiratory depression, constipation, tolerance, and dependence). The KOP receptor has also been implicated in several abuse-related effects in the central nervous system (CNS). KOP ligands have been investigated as pharmacotherapies for drug abuse; KOP agonists have been shown to modulate dopamine concentrations in the CNS as well as attenuate the self-administration of cocaine in a variety of species, and KOP antagonists have potential in the treatment of relapse. One drawback of current opioid ligand investigation is that many compounds are based on the morphine scaffold and thus have similar properties, both positive and negative, to the parent molecule. Thus there is increasing need to discover new chemical scaffolds with opioid receptor activity.

  • Studies on the Pharmacology of Conopharyngine, an Indole Alkaloid of the Voacanga Series
    Br. J. Pharmac. Chemother. (1967), 30, 173-185. STUDIES ON THE PHARMACOLOGY OF CONOPHARYNGINE, AN INDOLE ALKALOID OF THE VOACANGA SERIES BY P. R. CARROLL AND G. A. STARMER From the Department of Pharmacology, University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (Received January 17, 1967) Conopharyngine, the major alkaloid present in the leaves of Tabernaemontana (Conopharyngia) pachysiphon var. cumminsi (Stapf) H. Huber was isolated and identified by Thomas & Starmer (1963). The same alkaloid has also been found in the stem bark of a Nigerian variety of the same species by Patel & Poisson (1966) and in the stem bark of Conopharyngia durissima by Renner, Prins & Stoll (1959). Conopharyn- gine is an indole alkaloid of the voacanga type, being 18-carbomethoxy-12,13- dimethoxyibogamine (Fig. 1) and is thus closely related to voacangine and coronaridine. Me.0OC Fig. 1. Conopharyngine (18-carbomethoxy-12,13-dimethoxyibogamine). Some confusion exists in that an alkaloid with an entirely different structure, but also named conopharyngine, was isolated from a cultivated variety of Conopharyngia pachysiphon by Dickel, Lucas & Macphillamy (1959). This compound was shown to be the 3-D-9-glucoside of 55-20a-amino-3 8-hydroxypregnene, and was reported to possess marked hypotensive properties. The presence of steroid alkaloids in the Tabernaemontaneae was hitherto unknown and it was suggested by Raffauf & Flagler (1960) and Bisset (1961) that the plant material was open to further botanical confir- mation. The roots of the conopharyngia species are used in West Africa to treat fever (Kennedy, 1936), including that of malaria (Watt & Breyer-Brandwijk, 1962). The only report on the pharmacology of conopharyngine is that of Zetler (1964), who included it in a study of some of the effects of 23 natural and semi-synthetic alkaloids 174 P.

(BURSERACEAE) 1. This document has been submitted by Sri Lanka and the United States of America.* Overview 2. The genus Boswellia is the source of the aromatic resin known as frankincense, a semi-solid, yellow-brown substance derived from the gummy sap of the tree. Also known as olibanum, this resin and resin-derived essential oils and alcohol extracts are widely traded internationally and are incorporated into a variety of healthcare, home care, aromatherapy, cosmetics and toiletries, and dietary supplement products. Bark, extracts of bark, wood products, and live plants of these species may also be traded internationally. Boswellia species provide economic and ecological benefits across their range. However, there is growing concern that increasing demand and unregulated international trade of this high value commodity might threaten the survival of these species. This document provides background information to serve as a background and seek input from Parties and insights from the Plants Committee for further information gathering, review, and discussion to better understand the impact of international trade on these species.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4626 & Print ISSN: 0975-5896 Effect of N-Hexane Oil Extract of Two Spices on Serum Lipid Profile and Blood Glucose Concentration of Albino Rats By Ogunka-Nnoka C. U. & Igwe F. U. Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Nigeria Abstract - Consumers are concerned with their health and physical fitness and are seeking for alternative plant products with potential for providing nutrients with enhanced health benefits. Hence, this study investigates the effect of mixture of Ehuru (Monodora myristica) and Njasang (Ricinodendron heudelotii) oil extract on serum lipid profile and blood glucose concentration of albino rats. The spices were processed into fine flour and the oil was extracted with n-hexane as the solvent. A total of twenty five rats weighing 125-160g were separated into five groups of five each to represent control, olive oil and varying concentrations of the spices. After acclimiatization for one week, experimental administration of the extract was carried out daily for 28 days. Blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture into tubes. A portion of the blood was used for fasting blood glucose determination. Serum was separated from the other portion and used for assay of lipid profile using standard kit methods. The results obtained showed percentage fatty acid yield for Ehuru and Njasang as 79.54 and 81.0 (polyunsaturated) and 13.40 and 15.0 (monounsaturated) respectively. Fasting blood glucose assay showed that only rats in group 1 (6.46mmol/L) became significantly (p<0.05) hyperglycaemic while groups 2-4(6.03, 5.98 and 5.53mmol/L) showed a hypoglycaemic effect with respect to control (6.13mmol/L).
