Spirocurcasone, a diterpenoid with a novel carbon skeleton from Jatropha curcas.

2010

Spirocurcasone (14), a diterpenoid possessing the unprecedented "spirorhamnofolane" skeleton, was isolated from the root barks of Jatropha curcas, a plant extensively cultivated throughout the world, along with 11 known and two other new diterpenoids. The stereostructure of spirocurcasone was established using HRESIMS, NMR, and quantum mechanical calculation of the electronic circular dichroic (ECD) spectrum. Some of the isolated diterpenoids showed a potent activity against L5178Y, a mouse lymphoma cell line.

New bioactive alkaloids from the marine sponge Stylissa sp.

2012

Abstract Chemical investigation of the Indonesian marine sponge Stylissa species, which was collected at 2008 from Derawan Islands, Berau, NE Kalimantan, Indonesia offered four new brominated alkaloids, including 12-N-methyl stevensine (1), 12-N-methyl-2-debromostevensine (2), 3-debromolatonduine B methyl ester (3), 3-debromolatonduine A (4) together with eight known alkaloids identified as Z-hymenialdisine, Z-debromohymenialdisine, Stevensine, 2-debromostevensine, 3-bromoaldizine, 3,4-dibromopyrrole-2-carbamide, latonduine A, and latonduine B methyl ester (5–12), respectively. The structures of all isolated compounds were unambiguously elucidated based on extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectrosco…

Knock out der c-Jun N-terminalen Kinase 2 (JNK2) aggraviert die Entwicklung der chronischen DSS-Colitis unabhängig von der intestinalen Zytokin-Expre…

2008

Background The c-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 (JNK2) is involved in signal transduction of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. For this reason, JNK2 is considered as novel target for IBD therapy. The aim of this study was 1.) to examine the function of JNK2 applying a low dose Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS) model of chronic experimental colitis in JNK2 knock out mice and 2.) to analyze the expression of JNK2 dependent cytokines. Material and Methods: For induction of a mild chronic colitis, female JNK2 knockout mice (JNK2 ko) and their wildtype controls (WT2) received three cycles of DSS treatment, each consisting of 1.0 % DSS for 5 days, f…

Instruction of haematopoietic lineage choices, evolution of transcriptional landscapes and cancer stem cell hierarchies derived from an AML1-ETO mous…

The t(8;21) chromosomal translocation activates aberrant expression of the AML1-ETO (AE) fusion protein and is commonly associated with core binding factor acute myeloid leukaemia (CBF AML). Combining a conditional mouse model that closely resembles the slow evolution and the mosaic AE expression pattern of human t(8;21) CBF AML with global transcriptome sequencing, we find that disease progression was characterized by two principal pathogenic mechanisms. Initially, AE expression modified the lineage potential of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), resulting in the selective expansion of the myeloid compartment at the expense of normal erythro- and lymphopoiesis. This lineage skewing was foll…

C1 Inhibitor-C1¯sComplexes Are Internalized and Degraded by the Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor-related Protein

1997

Like other serpin-enzyme complexes (SECs), proteinase-complexed C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) is rapidly cleared from the circulation and thought to be a neutrophil chemoattractant, suggesting that complex formation causes structural rearrangements exposing a domain which is recognized by specific cell surface receptors. However, the cellular receptor(s) responsible for the catabolism and potential mediation of chemotaxis by C1-INH-protease complexes remained obscure. To determine whether the SEC receptor mediates the binding and potential chemotaxis of C1-INH·C1s, we performed binding assays with HepG2 cells, neutrophils, and monocytes, and the results show that C1-INH·C1s neither bind to these ce…
