Published: November 2003

From the water-soluble portion of the methanol extract of celery seed (fruit of Apium graveolens L.) five sesquiterpenoid glucosides (celerioside A-E) and three phthalide glycosides (celephtalide A-C) were isolated together with six aromatic compound glucosides, two norcarotenoid glucosides and a lignan glucoside. Their structures were determined by spectral investigations.

Introduction: Dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a small molecular compound extracted from celery seeds, has been shown to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and anti-apoptotic effects. Recent studies have highlighted its efficacy in treating various cardiovascular conditions, such as myocardial infarction, hypertrophy, heart failure, and cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate whether NBP could alleviate cardiac dysfunction and injury following hemorrhage-induced cardiac arrest (HCA) in a porcine model and elucidate its potential mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • Drought significantly affects plant yield and quality, and this study examines how melatonin (MT) helps improve celery seedlings' resilience to drought stress.
  • The results showed that applying exogenous MT reduced damage to the seedlings, improved various physiological parameters, and increased overall drought tolerance by positively affecting chlorophyll production and energy conversion.
  • Transcriptomic analysis indicated that MT regulates important genes related to chlorophyll synthesis and glycolytic pathways, enhancing pyruvate accumulation and peroxidase activity, which are crucial for drought resistance in plants.
