Medicinal plants have been traditionally used to treat cancer in Ethiopia. However, very few studies have reported the in vitro anticancer activities of medicinal plants that are collected from different agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia. Hence, the main aim of this study was to screen the cytotoxic activities of 80% methanol extracts of 22 plants against human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), as well as human breast (MCF-7), lung (A427), bladder (RT-4), and cervical (SiSo) cancer cell lines. Active extracts were further screened against human large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC-103H), pancreatic cancer (DAN-G), ovarian cancer (A2780), and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (KYSE-70) by using the crystal violet cell proliferation assay, while the vitality of the acute myeloid leukemia (HL-60) and histiocytic lymphoma (U-937) cell lines was monitored in the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) microtiter assay. Euphorbia schimperiana, Acokanthera schimperi, Kniphofia foliosa, and Kalanchoe petitiana exhibited potent antiproliferative activity against A427, RT-4, MCF-7, and SiSo cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 1.85 ± 0.44 to 17.8 ± 2.31 µg/mL. Furthermore, these four extracts also showed potent antiproliferative activities against LCLC-103H, DAN-G, A2780, KYSE-70, HL-60, and U-937 cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.086 to 27.06 ± 10.8 µg/mL. Hence, further studies focusing on bio-assay-guided isolation and structural elucidation of active cytotoxic compounds from these plants are warranted. 相似文献

Chemical investigation of the root bark of Turraeanthus mannii and the stem of T. longipes resulted in the isolation of two new diterpenes, 13-methyl-labda-8(17)-en-15-oic acid (1) and 13-(hydroxymethyl)-14-hydroxy-ent-labda-8(17)-en-15-oic acid (2), along with two known diterpenes, 19-hydroxy-ent-labda-8(17),13-dien-15,16-olide (3) and 19-acetoxy-ent-labda-8(17),13-dien-15,16-olide (4), and the phytosterol, stigmasterol. The structure elucidation of the new compounds has been achieved using spectroscopic techniques. 相似文献

Commercial instrumentation for isotachophoresis is modified electronically. Software is described for full control of data acquisition during the analysis and for data processing to obtain sample ion concentrations by means of an internal standard procedure. Screen editing is also possible by using flexible equipment. Conductivity signals in the isotachopherogram are transformed to a chromatographic-type pattern in which compounds are identified by the conductivity at the time of detection and the amounts are calculated from peak areas. 相似文献

Understanding the intrinsic properties of the hydrated carbon dioxide radical anions CO2.−(H2O)n is relevant for electrochemical carbon dioxide functionalization. CO2.−(H2O)n (n=2–61) is investigated by using infrared action spectroscopy in the 1150–2220 cm−1 region in an ICR (ion cyclotron resonance) cell cooled to T=80 K. The spectra show an absorption band around 1280 cm−1, which is assigned to the symmetric C−O stretching vibration νs. It blueshifts with increasing cluster size, reaching the bulk value, within the experimental linewidth, for n=20. The antisymmetric C−O vibration νas is strongly coupled with the water bending mode ν2, causing a broad feature at approximately 1650 cm−1. For larger clusters, an additional broad and weak band appears above 1900 cm−1 similar to bulk water, which is assigned to a combination band of water bending and libration modes. Quantum chemical calculations provide insight into the interaction of CO2.− with the hydrogen-bonding network. 相似文献

Two new prenylated xanthones, afzeliixanthones A (1) and B (2), together with three known xanthones (3-5) and two phytosterols, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol, were isolated from the CH2Cl2/MeOH (1:1) extract of the stem bark of Garcinia afzelii ENGL. collected in the South West Province of Cameroon. Structures were mainly established using one and two-dimensional NMR and mass spectroscopies. The antioxidant activities of the crude extracts as well as the new compounds (1) and (2) were evaluated. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) in their molecular capacity as chaperones have been reported to regulate the apoptotic pathway and also play a critical role in protein conformational diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). As all Down syndrome (DS) brains display AD-like neuropathology, neuronal loss in DS was shown to be mediated by apoptosis. We decided to investigate the expression patterns of HSPs in seven brain regions of adults with DS using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Following 2-DE, approximately 120 protein spots were successfully identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization--mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) followed by quantification of the identified proteins. We unambiguously identified and quantified nine different chaperone proteins. Accordingly, all but three chaperone proteins did exhibit a significant change in expression. HSP 70 RY, heat shock cognate (HSC) 71 and glucose-regulated protein (GRP) 75 showed a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in DS temporal cortex whereas HSP 70.1 and GRP 78 were significantly increased (P<0.05) in cerebellum. Whilst T-complex 1 (TCP-1) epsilon subunit showed a significant decrease (P< 0.05) in parietal cortex, a similar extent of increase (P<0.05) as that observed in cerebellum was obtained in parietal levels of GRP 78. Alpha-crystallin B, HSP 60 and GRP 94 did not show any detectable changes in expression patterns. This report presents the first approach to quantify nine different chaperones simultaneously at the protein level in different brain regions and provides evidence for aberrant chaperone expression patterns in DS. The relevance of this aberrant expression patterns are discussed in relation to the biochemical and neuropathological abnormalities in DS brain. 相似文献

Fractionation of the methanol extract of the stem bark of Turraeanthus africanus led to the isolation of two new alkaloids designated turraeanthin A and B, together with two known alkaloids. The structures of the new alkaloids were elucidated by means of spectroscopic analysis and characterized as 10-O-demethyl-17-O-methyl isoarnottianamide and 11-demethoxyl-12-methoxyl oxynitidine respectively. 相似文献

Further study of the methanol extract of the stem bark of Allanblackia monticola STANER L.C. resulted in the isolation of a new prenylated xanthenedione, designated allanxanthone C, together with the five known xanthones, garciniafuran, tovophyllin A, rubraxanthone, norcowanin and mangostin and one saponin, stigmasterol-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The structure of the new compound was established by detailed spectroscopic analysis to be 1,2-dihydro-3,6,8-trihydroxy-1,1,7-tri(3-methylbut-2-enyl)xanthen-2,9-dione (3-hydroxyapetalinone C). The methanol extract and pure compounds were tested on two strains of Plasmodium falciparum, F32 (chloroquine sensitive) and FcM29 (chloroquine resistant). The IC50 values obtained ranged from 0.6 to 8.9 microg/ml. Their cytotoxicity was estimated on human melanoma cells (A375) and the cytotoxicity/antiplasmodial ratio was found to be between 15.45 and 30.46. The antimicrobial activities against a range of microorganisms of the crude extract and some of these compounds are also reported. 相似文献
