Artemisinin Inhibits Chloroplast Electron Transport Activity: Mode of Action
Artemisinin, a secondary metabolite produced in Artemisia plant species, besides having antimalarial properties is also phytotoxic. Although, the phytotoxic activity of the compound has been long recognized, no information is available on the mechanism of action of the compound on photosynthetic activity of the plant. In this report, we have evaluated the effect of artemisinin on photoelectron ...
متن کاملNeurotoxic mode of action of artemisinin.
We recently described a screening system designed to detect neurotoxicity of artemisinin derivatives based on primary neuronal brain stem cell cultures (G. Schmuck and R. K. Haynes, Neurotoxicity Res. 2:37-49, 2000). Here, we probe possible mechanisms of this brain stem-specific neurodegeneration, in which artemisinin-sensitive neuronal brain stem cell cultures are compared with nonsensitive cu...
متن کاملLocal anesthetics-induced inhibition of chloroplast electron transport.
The effects of local anesthetics on photosynthetic activity of pea chloroplasts were investigated in order to elucidate the role of Ca2+ in photosynthetic electron transport. Dibucaine, benzocaine and tetracaine were found to inhibit the O2-evolving activity. The inhibitory effect decreases in the order dibucaine greater than benzocaine greater than tetracaine greater than trimecaine similarly ...
متن کاملInhibition of chloroplast electron transport reactions by trifluralin and diallate.
The herbicides trifluralin (alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N, N-dipropyl-p-toluidine) and diallate (S-[2,3-dichloroallyl] diisopropylthiocarbamate) inhibit electron transport, ATP synthesis, and cytochrome f reduction by isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. Both compounds inhibit noncyclic electron transport from H(2)O to ferricyanide more than 90% in coupled chloropla...
متن کاملElectron microscopic studies on mode of action of polymyxin.
The antibacterial activity of the polymyxin group against gram-negative bacteria has been explained as owing to increased permeability of the cell envelope consisting of cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane and the resultant leakage of the cell contents (7). Consequently, morphological studies should contribute much to the elucidation of the mechanism of action of these agents (2). We have made d...
