Abstract. The plasma levels of oestrone (Oe1), 17β-oestradiol (Oe2), oestriol (Oe3), testosterone (T), 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and androstenedione (A) were assayed by RIA in plasma obtained from peripheral venous blood. The hormones are isolated from the plasma extract, first by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography (Oe2/Oe3/Oe1, T, DHT, A) and after Oe1, T, DHT, A by TLC on silica gel 60 F254. The accuracy, reproducibility and sensitivity of the method make it satisfactory for clinical studies.

Cytokinins present in the xylem saps of two species of Amyema mistletoes and three species of Eucalyptus hosts have been measured using radioimmunoassays employing antibodies elicited against zeatin riboside, dihydrozeatin riboside and isopentenyladenosine. The radioimmunoassays, when used in combination with enzymatic treatments and chromatographic separation techniques, allowed the detection of a wide variety of cytokinin bases, ribosides, O-glucosides and nucleotides. Column chromatography over paraffin-coated silica gel was used to separate cytokinins from contaminating polar plant compounds. Results demonstrated a closer relationship between the types and concentrations of cytokinins in the xylem saps of mistletoes and their hosts in a mimicking situation (A. miquelii on E. polyanthemos) than in a non-mimicking situation (A. pendulum on E. cinerea).

SummaryPlatelet aggregation was studied in 24 patients in the chronic stage of ischemic cerebrovascular disease (CVD), with cerebral affluent and effluent blood, i.e., carotid arterial and internal jugular venous blood, and also with peripheral venous blood. Aggregation tests were performed at various final concentrations of sodium arachidonate (A.A.) and ADP. In 17 patients, not taking aspirin, platelet aggregability in jugular venous blood was significantly accentuated compared with that in arterial and peripheral venous blood. This tendency was more marked in the patients with cerebral artery stenosis and/or occlusion than in those with normal cerebral angiogram. In 7 patients taking 500 mg or more oral aspirin, aggregation differences across the brain were not observed and A.A. aggregation and the second phase of ADP aggregation were completely suppressed. These results suggest that a prophylactic administration of aspirin may be beneficial for patients in chronic stage of CVD.

Background and Purpose:: Patrinia villosa Juss is an important Chinese herbal medicine widely used for thousands of years, but few reports on the ingredients of the herb have been presented. In this study, we aim to isolate the bioactive compound from the plant. Material and Methods:: The air-dried leaves of P. villosa (15kg) were extracted three times with 70% EtOH under reflux. The condensed extract was suspended in H2O and partitioned with light petroleum, dichloromethane and n-BuOH. The dichloromethane portion was then subjected to normal-phase silica gel column chromatography, ODS silica gel column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC to yield compound 1. Cytotoxicities of 1 were assayed on HepG2, A549 and A2780 cell lines. The mechanism of apoptosis and cell cycle on A549 was confirmed subsequently. Results: A new impecylone (Impecylone A) was isolated from the leaves of Patrinia villosa Juss, and its structures were established using 1D, 2D-NMR spectra and HR-ESI-MS. Impecylone A could selectivity inhibit HepG2 and A549 cell lines. The compound could induce apoptosis of A549 and arrest the cell cycle at G2/M phase in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Impecylone A is a novel compound from Patrinia villosa Juss and could be a potential antitumor agent especially in the cell lines of A549.

Aging is associated with immune disregulation and oxidative stress which lead to inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. We have tried to identify the anti-neuroinflammatory and anti-inflammatory components of Coreopsis lanceolata L. The dried flowers of C. lanceolata were extracted with 70% EtOH, and the obtained extract was divided into CH2Cl2, EtOAc, n-BuOH, and H2O fractions. The CH2Cl2 fraction was separated using silica gel and C-18 column chromatography to yield phenylheptatriyne (1), 2′-hydroxy-3,4,4′-trimethoxychalcone (2), and 4′,7-dimethoxyflavanone (3). Additionally, the EtOAc fraction was subjected to silica gel, C-18, and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography to yield 8-methoxybutin (4) and leptosidin (5). All the compounds isolated from C. lanceolata inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) in LPS-induced BV2 and RAW264.7 cells. In addition, phenylheptatriyne and 4′,7-dimethoxyflavanone reduced the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin (IL)-6. Among them, phenylheptatriyne was significantly downregulated in the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Subsequently, phenylheptatriyne also effectively inhibited nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activation in LPS-stimulated BV2 and RAW264.7 cells. Based on these results, the anti-neuroinflammatory effect of phenylheptatriyne isolated from C. lanceolata was confirmed, which may exert a therapeutic effect in treatment of neuroinflammation-related diseases.
