非育珠背角无齿蚌软组织微量元素含量的分析

采用高频电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP—AES)法测定了非育珠背角无齿蚌软组织中锰(Mn)、铁(Fe)、锌(Zn)、铬(Cr)、铝(Aj)、铜(Cu)六种微量元素及钙(Ca)、镁(Mg)的含量，分析了各种元素在不同软组织中的分布特征。结果表明：(1)在软组织中，各元素平均含量由高到低依次为：Ca，Mn，Mg，Fe，Zn，Al，Cr，Cu；(2)背角无齿蚌不同软组织中微量元素的含量不同，其中瓣鳃和外套膜中所测元素含量高于其他器官，特别是Mn，Fe的含量最高；Mn的含量甚至超过了宏量元素Mg；Al是闭壳肌中含量最丰富的微量元素。     

Lipids from the processing wastes ofStevia rebandiana

The composition of the lipids in the wastes from the production of a sweetening agent fromStevia rebandiana Bertoni has been studied. The main componets of the resinous wastes are glyco- and phospholipids.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashken, fax (3712) 89 14 75.

Antimicrobial Lipids from the Hemolymph of Brachyuran Crabs

The potential of marine crabs as a source of biologically active products is largely unexplored. In the present study, antimicrobial activity of the hemolymph (plasma) and hemocytes (plasma cells) of six brachyuran crabs was investigated against 16 pathogenic strains. Among the 16 strains tested maximum zone of inhibition was recorded in the hemolymph of Hyas araneus against Shigella flexineri. Interestingly Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi were susceptible to all the hemolymph and hemocytes samples. Likewise, the highest zone of inhibition was exhibited by both hemolymph and hemocytes samples against Vibrio cholerae. On the basis of TLC, ¹HNMR, and ¹³CNMR it may be concluded that the antimicrobial activity in the hemolymph extract is due to the presence of lipids. This observation is further supported by the ESI-MS of the methanolic extract of hemolymph of H. araneus. ESI-MS shows cluster of peaks in the region m/z 445 to m/z 491 due to lysoglycerolipids/glycerides and cluster of signals between m/z 216 and 246, due to fatty acids/esters present in the sample.     

Lipids of the wastes from the processing ofAconitum leucostomum

It has been established that the wastes from the production of the drug allapinin from the epigeat pan ofAconitum leucostomum consist of nonpolar and polar lipids with a high content of phospho- and glycolipids and free fatty acids.Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 37–40, January–February, 1995.
