(Boraginaceae) is a very rare and highly appreciated tree in Mesoamerica for its medicinal properties and beauty. It grows in a region extending from central Mexico to Costa Rica. Ethnobotanical surveys have shown that the infusion of dried flowers is popularly used as a tranquilizer to cure several diseases. In the present study we report the isolation of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (pHBZ) obtained from the hydroalcoholic extract (HE) of B. huanita, and the effect of both, the extract and the compound on the central nervous system in mice. HE of B. huanita (100, 150, 300 mg/kg) and pHBZ (10 mg/kg) were orally administered to mice and 1 h later, behavioral tests were performed. The effects of HE and pHBZ were tested by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and strychnine (STR) induced seizures, pentobarbital-induced hypnosis, the forced swimming test and the tail suspension test, the elevated plus maze, apomorphine-induced stereotypy and the climbing test, the inhibitory avoidance test and the open-field test. B. huanita extract produced hypnotic, anxiolytic and antidepressant effects in animals, with no change in motor performance. On the other hand, the extract did not reduce PTZ and STR-induced convulsions, apomorphine-induced stereotypy or climbing. Moreover, no changes were observed in the animals’ memory. The compound pHBZ was effective only in the depression tests. The results obtained in the present study suggest that B. huanita exhibited sedative, antidepressant and hypnotic activities in mice, and that the antidepressant activity may be mediated by an isolated compound identified as pHBZ.展开更多

The four exogenous phenolic acids induced the enhancement of the allelopathic potential of wild rice S37 in target weeds though the weed-suppressive activities were low, and the inducible effects were dependent on the specific phenolic acid, concentration and treatment time. After foliar application of exogenous phenolic acids, the inhibition rates for plant height, root length and fresh weight of barnyard grass (Echinochioa crus-galli) were significantly higher than those of the control. Especially at the concentration of 100 mg/L, the inhibition rates for plant height and fresh weight of barnyard grass by fumalic acid were 38.12% and 26.31% higher than those of the control, showing that fumalic acid was more effective compared with other phenolic acids in inhibiting monocotyledon weed growth. Furthermore, the weedsuppressive activity of aqueous extract from the leaves of wild rice S37 treated with exogenous phenolic acids was increased, and it peaked at 48 h after the treatment with the aqueous extract, and then gradually declined.展开更多

In order to overcome the barrier, p-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HA), a small molecule of benzamide analogue, was used as a ligand for brain-targeted drug delivery. The p-HA was conjugated to PEG-DSPE to form p-HA-PEG-DSPE. Docetaxel-loaded polymeric micelles were prepared by a thin-film hydration method using methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-distearoylphosphatidyl- ethanolamine (mPEG 2000 -DSPE) as a carrier and the p-HA-PEG-DSPE as a brain targeted material. The prepared micelles showed spherical with a mean diameter of (18±3) nm. Encapsulation efficiency and drug loading were (83.49±1.3)%, (7.7±1.2)% for un- modified micelles and (80.65±1.6)%, (7.47±1.8)% for p-HA-modified micelles, respectively. In vitro cellular uptake experiments showed that the p-HA-modified micelles increased BCECs cellular uptake by 1.2 times compared to the unmodified micelles. Ex vivo near-infrared fluorescence imaging showed that brain uptake of the p-HA-modified micelles was 1.3-1.8 times higher than that of the unmodified micelles. In vitro cytotoxicity assay against glioblastoma cell U87 MG showed that inhibition rate of the p-HA-modified micelles increased by 1.2 times compared to that of the unmodified micelles and 1.7 times compared to that of DTX. Survival time of nude mice bearing intracranial glioblastoma showed that the lifetime of saline group, Taxotere group, mPEG-DSPE/DTX micelles group and p-HA-PEG-DSPE/DTX micelles group was 22, 27, 32 and 45.8 d, representively, which indicated that anti-glioblastoma activity of DTX could be significantly enhanced by the p-HA-modified polymeric micelles. These results demonstrated that the p-HA-modified micelles could be a promising brain-targeted drug delivery system for hydrophobic drugs against glioblastoma.展开更多
