It has been used in folk medicine as antipyretic, detoxicant, expectorant andantitussive. In an effort to find biologically active components from Chinese medicinal plants ' ,we have examined the aerial parts of this herb, leading to the isolation of a clerodane-typediterpene, 18, 19-dihydroxy-5α, 10β-neo-cleroda-3, 13 (l4)-dien-16, 15-butenolide (1). In thispaper we report the structural elucidation, and the antitumor and antibacterial activities of thiscompound. It was found that 1 possesses moderate cytotoxicity against human leukemia cells (HL-60)and activity against microorganisms.展开更多

All title compounds were first by reported. Results of preliminary biological tests showed that most of title compounds exhibited activity against the seven common pathogenic fungi. Compound 11 showed best antifungal activity with broad antifungal spectrum and proved to be more active against Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida albicans, Microsporum lanosum and Trichophyton rubrum than ketoconazole. Compounds 3, 10 and 4 also had high activities.展开更多

In this article, we described the isolation, bioactivity, diversity, and secondary metabolites of bioactive fungi from the gill of a shark (Carcharodon carcharias). A total of 115 isolates were obtained and grown in 12 culture media. Fifty-eight of these isolates demonstrated significant activity in four antimicrobial, pesticidal, and cytotoxic bioassay models. Four randomly selected bioactive isolates inhibited human cancer cell proliferation during re-screening. These active isolates were segregated into 6 genera using the internal transcribed spacer-large subunit (ITS-LSU) rDNA-sequence BLAST comparison. Four genera, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Mucor, and Chaetomium were the dominant taxa. A phylogenic tree illustrated their intergenera and intragenera genetic diversity. HPLC-DAD-HRMS analysis and subsequent database searching revealed that nine representative strains produced diverse bioactive compound profiles. These results detail the broad range of bioactive fimgi found in a shark's gills, revealing their biopharmaceutical potential. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study characterizing shark gill fungi and their bioactivity.展开更多

Methods: (1) The minimal inhibition concentrations of panipenem/betamipron were determined in 247 clinical isolates by agar dilution method. The minimal bactericidal concentrations of panipenem/betamipron for some clinical isolates were also determined. (2) Twenty cases of pulmonary infection were treated with intravenous dripping of panipenem/betamipron at 500/500 mg every 12 h for 3-7 d. Panipenem/betamipron concentration in the plasma was consecutively measured, and bacterial culture was conducted and the efficacy was evaluated. Results: (1) The in vitro antimicrobial activity of panipenem/betamipron was almost the same as that of panipenem, indicating that panipenem played the major role in antimicrobial reaction. Panipenem/betamipron had a strong antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, β-Streptococcus hemolytic, Streptococcus pneumonia, micrococcus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiea pneumonia. The drug also showed a potent effect against Haemophilus influenzae,Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2) The peak value of panipenem/betamipron in plasma was (30.25±5.43) mg/L and the level decreased to (0.66±0.34) mg/L 6 h later. The half-life of distribution and elimination of panipenem in the plasma was (0.34±0.18) h and (1.42±0.31) h, respectively. (3) The eradication rate of bacteria was 77.8% and the effective healing rate was 75%. No adverse drug reaction was found. Conclusion: Panipenem/betamipron has a strong antimicrobial activity against clinical isolates and is effective and safe for treatment of pulmonary infection.展开更多

[Method] The Douchi flbrinolytic enzyme producing strain was screened on the selected medium prepared with self-made pork blood powder, the strain with the highest activity was screened out according to the size of hydrolysis cycle, and then preserved in LB medium. [ Rebait] A Douchi fibrinolytic enzyme producing strain with high thrombolytic activity was successfully screened out from the Douchi produced in Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi Prov- inces.

All the new compounds were characterized by NMR, IR, MS and HRMS spectra. Their antimicrobial activities were evaluated against four Gram-positive bacteria, four Gram-negative bacteria and two fungi using two-fold serial dilution technique. The biological assay indicated that most of the prepared compounds exhibited inhibition to the tested strains. In particular, the triazolium derivatives not only gave higher ef- ficacy than their corresponding precursory azoles, but also demonstrated comparable or even better potency than the reference drugs Chloromycin, Orbifloxacin and Fluconazole. Some factors including structural fragments, pH and ClogP values of the target molecules were also preliminarily discussed.展开更多
