چکیده

Denudatin A and B, denudadione B, fargesone A and machilin G were isolated from Magnolia denudata. These compounds showed inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production in the lipopolysaccharide plus interferon-gamma activated-murine macrophage cell line, J774.1. Some but not all of the inhibition of NO production by machilin G, and denudatin A and B was apparently through the decreased expression of the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) gene.

From the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of twigs of Magnolia denudata (Magnoliaceae), seven new neolignan derivatives, 1-7, were isolated along with eighteen known lignan and neolignan derivatives, 8-25. The structures of the new neolignans were elucidated by means of spectral methods, especially by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra, and two dimensional NMR methods such as 1H-detected heteronuculear m...

Anti-inflammatory constituents from the fruits of Vitex rotundifolia.

Three new diterpenes (7, 15 and 17) and two new neolignans (19 and 20) along with nineteen known compounds have been isolated from the fruits of Vitex rotundifolia. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR, HRESI-MS, and CD data. All isolates were tested for their inhibitory activities on LPS-induced nitric oxide production in RAW264.7 cells. Of these, compounds 3, 4, ...

Effect of Nitric Oxide on Postharvest Quality and Vase Life of Cut Carnation Flower

Nitric oxide (NO) is a highly reactive signaling molecule and plays a variety of physiological roles in plants. The research on the application of NO to postharvest preservation of flowers and fruits shows great promise in recent years. However, the physiological mechanism of exogenous NO to affect cut flowers is not very clear, and NO donor treatment protected plants from damage by increasing ...
