Carbazole alkaloids isolated from the branch and leaf extracts of Clausena lansium.

The present study carried out a phytochemical investigation of the methanol extract of the branches and leaves of Clausena lansium and afforded nine carbazole alkaloids (compounds 1-9) including two new carbazole alkaloids, claulansiums A and B (compounds 1 and 2). The new compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data (MS, NMR, IR, and UV) and the known compounds were identified by comparing spectroscopic data with those reported in literature. All the isolated compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activity against A549 and Hela cancer cell lines.

Comparison of rheological behaviors and nanostructure of bighead carp scales gelatin modified by different modification methods.

In this study, microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) and pectin were compared to modify bighead carp () scale gelatin. The functional properties of modified fish scales gelatin (FSG) were largely improved, including melting temperature and rheological behavior. While, modification methods decreased the triple-helix content and destroyed the single left-hand helix chain of modified FSG as investigated by X-ray diffraction.

Production of chlorogenic acid and its derivatives in hairy root cultures of Stevia rebaudiana.

Chlorogenic acid and its derivatives (CADs) are valuable bioactive plant secondary metabolites with many health benefits. In the present study, Stevia rebaudiana hairy root cultures were established, and the culture conditions for the production of CADs were optimized. The hairy roots were induced by coculture of S.

[Analysis of the relationship between Glut-4 gene polymorphism and blood-fat traits in induced hyperglycemia mice].

This study is to investigate the effect of diet and gene on blood-fat trait of the individual mouse. One hundred and twenty mice were fed with high fat emulsion for 4 weeks. Then the genotypes of Glut-4 were analyzed by PCR-SSCP to investigate the effect on blood-fat traits and some organ performance of mice.

Dimethyl [(4-fluoro-phen-yl)(6-methoxy-benzothia-zol-2-ylamino)meth-yl]phospho-nate.

In the mol-ecule of title compound, C(17)H(18)FN(2)O(4)PS, both the benzene ring with its conjunction C atom and the benzothia-zole ring with its conjunction N atom are close to planar (the maximum deviations are 0.0267 and 0.0427 Å for the benzene and benzothiazole rings, respectively), the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzothia-zole and benzene rings is 119.

[Research progresses on nutrigenomics].

Nutrition science is an age-old subject, and offers important theoretic instructions for human health protection and disease prevention. With the development of molecular biology, it will be a key technique in the 21 century. Combination of molecular biology and nutrition, bio-nutrition is formed.
