Levels of excitatory neurotransmitters aspartic acid and glutamate, as well as inhibitory neurotransmitters glycine and ^-aminobutyric acid, were measured in samples using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, phosphate gradient elution, and fluorescence detection. Results showed that concentrations of all four amino acid neurotransmitters significantly increased in the corpus striatum following treatment with borneol or moschus, but effects due to borneol were more significant than moschus. Acorus tatarinowii treatment increased ^-aminobutyric acid expression, but decreased glutamate concentrations. Storax increased aspartic acid concentrations and decreased glycine expression. Results demonstrated that borneol and moschus exhibited significant effects on con amino acid neurotransmitter expression; storax exhibited excitatory effects and acorus tatarinowii resulted in inhibitory effects.展开更多

In this study, the antifungal compound 1,2-dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene was isolated from A. tatarinowii Schott by activity-directed isolation method, and the inhibitory activity of the extract and 1,2-dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene against seven plant pathogenic fungi was evaluated. The results showed that the extract and 1,2-dimethoxy-4(2- propenyl) benzene had high inhibitory activity against hyphal growth of Thielaviopsis paradoxa (de Seynes) V. Hohnel, Pestalotia mangiferae P. Henn., Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (E. F. Smith) Syn. et Hans., Alternaria alternate Tanaka, Colletotrichum musae (Berk et Curt) V. Arx, Sphaceloma fawcettii Jenk., and Mycosphaerella sentina (Fr.) Schroter. The EC50 values of extract were 1.6162, 1.6811, 1.1253, 3.5771, 1.7024, 2.2284, and 2.2221 g L^-1, respectively, and the EC50 values of 1,2-dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene were 0.1021, 0.0997, 0.0805, 0.1742, 0.1503, 0.1853, and 0.1924 g L^-1, respectively. 1,2-Dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene also inhibited spores germination of T. paradoxa (de Seynes) V. Hohnel and F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum (E. F. Smith) Syn. et Hans., with the inhibitory rates of 98.81 and 100% at a concentration of 0.4 g L^-1 after 8 h, respectively. 1,2-Dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene is a potential botanical antifungal agent for controling of plant fungal diseases.展开更多
