(S. chamaejasme for short) is one of the most noxious unpalatable weeds in China, which has been frequently reported its negative interaction (i.e. competition and allelopathy) with other herbaceous species in grasslands. This study compared species diversity, biomass and sexual reproduction of herbaceous plants in meadows with S. chamaejasme and in open meadows without S. ehamaejasme in overgrazing meadows on the Tibetan Plateau in China to determine whether positive facilitation exist between S. chamaejasme and other herbaceous species under livestock's overgrazing. The results showed that there are more herbaceous species in meadows with S. chamaejasme than those in open meadows (35s and30s, respectively). Diversity index and above-ground biomass were also significantly higher in meadows with S. charnaejasme. There were 39% (11/28) of all species with sexual reproduction found in meadows with S. charnaejasme, which was 7 times more than those in open meadows. Our study showed that S. charnaejasme could provide biotic refuge for neighboring plants and preserve plant diversity from livestock's overgrazing in alpine meadows on the Tibetan Plateau. It also suggested that inter-specific facilitation between S. charnaejasme and other herbaceous species may play a key role in overgrazing alpine meadows.展开更多

Thebioassay-directed separation of the extract furnishedseven diterpene compounds (stellerarin, stelleramacrin,gnidimacrin, pimelea factor P2, subtoxin, huratoxin,simplexin ) and two biflavanone compounds (neochemae-jasmin A and B). Among them, gnidimacrin, stellerarinand stelleramacrin (a novel compound) were found tohave high antitumor and cytotoxic activities against P388,L1210 and K562 in vivo and in vitro. The results suggestedthat the diterpene compounds were the potent anti-tumor principles of Stellera chamaejame L展开更多

It showed ILSs of 40%.49% and 41% at the dosages of 0.01-0.02 mg/kg ip,respectively. Gnidimacrin strongly inhibited cell Proliferation of human cancer cell lines such as leukemia K562, stomach cancers Kato-III, MKN-28, MKN-45, and mouse leukemia L-1210 by the MTT assay and colony forming assay in vitro. The IC50 of gnidimacrin was 0.007-0.00012 μg/ml. It is concluded that gnidimacrin is the principal antitumor element in Stellera chemaejasme L. with strong antitumor activities.展开更多
