Preliminary Study on Rooting Promotion Activity of 33 Species of Plant Extracts

[ Objective ] The paper was to study the rooting promotion activity of plant extracts, so as to lay the foundation for development of natural source of roo- fing reagent with high efficiency, safety and environment friendship. [Method] Using mung bean rooting method, the rooting promotion effects of 33 plant extracts on mung bean section were studied. [Result] When the concentration was 1 mg/mL, Eupatorium adenophorum （stem and leaf）, Cryptomeriafortunei （stem and leaf）, Pinus yunnanensis （stem）, Pinus yunnanensis （leaf）, Rhododendron simsii （leaf）, Pinus armandii （leaf）, Litchi chinensis （pericarp）, P/nus armandiifruit （fruit） and Alnus cremastogyne （leaf） showed strong promotion effect on rooting of mung bean sections, and the rooting promotion rate reached over 100% ; the roo- ting promotion effect ofE. adenophorum （stem and leaf） was the strongest, reaching（1068.42 ＋7.87）%, which was extremely higher than the extracts of other plants. [Conclusion] E. adenophorum （stem and leaf）, C. fortunei （stem and leaf）, P. yunnanens/s （stem）, P. yurmanens/s （leaf）, R. simsii （leaf）, P. armandii （leaf）, L. chinensis （pericarp）, P. armandiifruit （fruit） and A. cremastogyne （leaf） all contained substances with st/ong rooting promotion effect, which could be further used for development of natural rooting reagent.

Preliminary Study on Antifungal Activities of 30 Kinds of Plant Extracts

[Objective]The paper was to screen the plant extracts with strong antifungal activity. [Method] With R. solani as the test object, the antifungal activities of 30 kinds of plant extracts were carried out primary screening by mycelial growth rate method. [Result] Twelve kinds of plant extracts including Pinus yunnanensis （leaf）, Phryma leptostachya （stem and leaf）, Pueraria peduncularis （root, stem and leaf）, Pinus armandiifruit （fruit）, Aconitum brachypodum （stem and leaf）, Phellodendron amurense （stem and leaf）, Rhaponticum uniflorum （root）, Alnus cremastogyne （leaf）, Rehmannia glutinosa （root）, Cryptomeria fortunei （stem and leaf） and Berberis pruinosa （stem and leaf） had strong activities against R. solani with growth inhibition rates over 80% as the concentration was 10 mg/ml,among which the extracts of P. yunnanensis （leaf）, P. leptostachya （stem and leaf）, P. peduncularis （root, stem and leaf） and P. armandiifruit （fruit） showed the inhibition rate above 95%, significantly higher than other plant extracts. The secondary screening results of antifungal activities of the above 12 plant extracts were consistent with the primary screening. [Conclusion] The study laid foundation for further development of high efficient, safe and environmental-friendly new fungicides.

Synthesis and screening of novel inositol phosphonate derivatives for anticancer functions in vitro

Phosphonates have been frequently used as suitable isosteric and isoelectronic replacements for biologically important phosphates in the development of drugs or drug candidates because of their stability toward the action of phosphatases and other enzymes.In this paper,12 mono-phosphonate inositol compounds were prepared with phosphonate instead of phosphate by two kinds of strategies,nucleophilic substitution and Arbuzov rearrangement,respectively.All compounds were evaluated in vitro for their activity against non-small cell lung cancer（NSCLC） cell line A549.Two compounds（3ac and 3bb） exhibited good antitumor activity at 10 mg/mL.
