We investigated the effect of Cochlospermum regium (Mart & Schrank) Pilger aqueous root extract on Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO)-K1 cells. The extract significantly decreased proliferation of CHO-K1 cells (EC(50)=1.5mg/mL). Apoptosis induction was analysed by fluorescent microscopy. Cell cultures treated with Cochlospermum regium extract for 4h contained 13.6% apoptotic cells after 24h (investigated by fluorescent DNA-microscopy with acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining). Characteristic chromatin condensation and fragmentation, verified by 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, was observed in the cells after treatment with Cochlospermum regium extract. The results confirm the toxicity of Cochlospermum regium root extract to immortal, non-tumorigenic mammalian cells in vitro.

Cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metal ions found in wastewaters and its remedial methods are globally investigated. Removal methods based on biomaterials as adsorbents are proving to be simple, effective and eco-friendly. In the present investigation, bio-adsorbents derived from plant stems (CRSP) and its active carbon (CRAC) are observed to have good adsorption for toxic cadmium ions.

was isolated as an endophytic fungus from the medicinal plant , and their production of secondary metabolites has not yet been investigated. Thus, the endophyte was cultivated on rice solid media to evaluate its ability to produce bioactive compounds and then the chloroform extract was obtained. Two phenolic compounds, tyrosol () and a new natural product -hydroxyphenylacetamide (), were isolated from the extract.

Plants provide extrafloral nectar, which is a food resource taken by ants, especially aggressive species that may act as plant guards. To our knowledge, no study has been conducted to concurrently investigate the fluctuation of plant fitness over its whole reproductive season, recording and comparing both short periods (different samplings during the plant's reproductive season) and the season/pooled data (all fruits produced during the reproductive season). Here, by assigning plants to either ant-present or absent treatments, we investigated the influence of the protective foliage-dwelling ant, Camponotus crassus, on the flower bud and fruit production of four extrafloral nectaried plants (Ancistrotropis firmula, Bionia coriacea, Cochlospermum regium, and Peixotoa tomentosa) throughout their annual reproductive season.

Endophytic fungi are biodiverse and alternative source of bioactive compounds, due their different abilities of genetic expression and alteration of biosynthetic pathway when submitted to different culture conditions. The metabolic profile of three different crude extracts (A, B and C), obtained from the endophytic fungus , were evaluated by HPLC and H NMR. Antioxidant and allelochemical activity were also evaluated.
