Chamaejasmone F, a new 11,10-guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid, is isolated from the roots of Stellera chamaejasme Linn., along with four known compounds including two guaiane sesquiterpenoids and two lignans. The structure of the new compound is elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, especially two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The known compounds 1β-hydroxy-10βH-guaia-4,11-dien-3-one and (+)-hinokinin are isolated from the genus Stellera for the first time. In an in vitro assay, chamaejasmone F shows moderate cytotoxic activity against the human triple negative breast cancer cell line MB-MDA-231.

Four pentacyclic triterpenoids were obtained from the leaves of Combretum oliviforme Chao, 3β–hydroxyolean–12–en–28–oic acid (1), 23– O–[α-L-(4′-acetylrhamnopyranosyl)]–imberbic acid (2), 23–acetoxy–3β–acetylimberbic acid–29–methyl ester (3), and 23– O–[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl]-1,3β-diacetylimberbic acid (4). Hydrolysis of 2 and 4 gave 23–hydroxyimberbic acid (5). The structures were elucidated by NMR, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) and comparison with literature data. Compounds 1, 2, 3 and 4 were isolated from C. oliviforme Chao leaves for the first time and 3 for the first time from any natural source. All compounds were tested in vitro for their activity against human lung cancer cell line SPC-A-1, human erythroleukaemic line K562 and human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. Compounds 1, 3, 4 and 5 had cytotoxic activity for the three cell lines with IC50 0.69-69.68 μM. These results suggest that the presence of acetyl group in the triterpene aglycone structure plays an essential role for cytotoxic activity.

Ssa1/2p, members of one of the yeast cytosolic hsp70 subfamilies, have been implicated in the translocation of secretory proteins into the lumen of the ER. The involvement of these hsp70s in translocation was tested directly by examining the effect of immunodepleting Ssa1/2p from yeast cytosol and subsequently testing the cytosol for its ability to support co- and post-translational translocation of prepro-alpha-factor. Depletion of Ssa1/2p had no effect on the efficiency of translocation in this in vitro assay. The system was used to examine the effect of the absence of Ssa1/2p on two other putative hsp70 functions: cotranslational folding of nascent luciferase and refolding of denatured luciferase. Depletion of Ssa1/2p had no effect on the ability of the yeast lysate to synthesize enzymatically active luciferase, but had a dramatic effect on the ability of the lysate to refold chemically denatured luciferase. These results demonstrate, for the first time, the refolding activity of Ssa1/2p in the context of the yeast cytosol, and define refolding activity as a chaperone function specific to Ssa1/2p, aprt from other cytosolic hsp70s. They also suggest that Ssa1/2p do not play a significant role in chaperoning the folding of nascent polypeptides. The implications of these findings for Ssa1/2p activity on their proposed role in the process of translocation are discussed.

AbstractLiposomes (a phospholipid bi-layer which can be formulated to contain drugs or other reagents) composed of endogenous phospholipid dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in combination with dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), lauric acid, and silver sulfadiazine were made into vesicular nanoparticles in this study using an optimized extrusion technique. Liposomes were then tested for antibacterial activity against a range of bacteria species including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis (all are relevant human pathogens known to infect implants) and were also challenged to prevent the growth of adherent biofilms (a robust slimy extracellular matrix) through an in vitro assay relevant to device related infections. It was found that all liposomes reduced bacterial growth, and, most importantly, liposomes containing DPPC and DOPE reduced biofilm formation better than the commercially available antibiotic silver sulfadiazine. These results indicated for the first time that such liposomes might be a better approach to prevent device related infections.

SummaryAn in vitro system is described in which adhesion of blood platelets to washed and tannic acid-treated red cells was assayed quantitatively by microscopic observation. ADP, epinephrine and TAME produced a reversible increase in platelet adhesiveness which was antagonized by AMP. With Evans blue, polyanetholsulfonate, phthalanilide NSC 38280, thrombin and heparin at concentrations above 1-4 u/ml the increase was irreversible. The ADP-induced increase in adhesiveness was inhibited by sodium citrate, EDTA, AMP, ATP and N-ethylmaleimide. EDTA, AMP and the SH-blocker N-ethylmaleimide also reduced spontaneous platelet adhesion to red cells. No significant effects were observed with adenosine, phenprocoumon, 5-HT, phthalanilide NSC 57155, various estrogens, progestogens and fatty acids, acetylsalicylic acid and similarly acting agents, hydroxylamine, glucose and KCN. The method may be useful for the screening of thrombogenic and antithrombotic properties of drugs.
