AI Article Synopsis
- * Researchers employed five pairs of primer combinations to detect DNA polymorphisms, resulting in DNA fingerprints for the different Curcuma wenyujin samples.
- * Findings indicated minimal genetic differences among the samples, suggesting that SRAP markers could be useful for conservation and resource management of Curcuma wenyujin.
Article Abstract
Objective: The DNA fingerprints of Curcuma wenyujin from various habitats were generated by using SRAP markers to find the feasibility in analyzing their relationship.
Methods: The DNA polymorphism of Curcuma wenyujin from various habitats were detected by SRAP molecular markers.
Results: We had screened five pairs of primer combinations, and built the DNA fingerprints of Curcuma wenyujin from various habitats. The phylogenetic clustering results revealed that the genetic difference in Curcuma wenyujin from various habitats were little.
Conclusion: SRAP markers may offer some evidence for protecting and exploiting of Curcuma wenyuji.

Fourteen undescribed sesquiterpenes, named curcumaones A-N (1-14), as well as forty-four (15-58) known ones, were isolated from the secondary rhizomes of Curcuma wenyujin. The structures and absolute configurations of 1-14 were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic analyses, high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS) data and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectral analysis. Among these, five sesquiterpenes with the peroxide linkage (1-5) were obtained and the change of chemical shift between the α-C connecting the peroxide linkage and the oxygen atom has been discussed.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a grievous disease that adversely affects human health and life. β-elemene is a type of sesquiterpenoid extracted from (Zingiberaceae) and displays effects on suppressing tumor growth. However, the regulatory impact of β-elemene in COPD development is not reported.

Introduction: β-Elemene, derived from (Wenyujin), is clinically recognized for inducing apoptosis, inhibiting cell cycle progression, and reversing chemotherapy resistance in various cancers. However, its effects on radioresistant gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear.
Methods: In this study, radioresistant GC cell lines (MKN45/IR and AGS/IR) were established via multiple low-dose radiations.

(-)-β-Elemene is a primary bioactive compound derived from Curcuma wenyujin and has been widely utilized as an anti-tumor agent for various types of cancer. Due to the inefficiency of plant extraction methods for β-elemene, significant efforts have been directed toward the heterogeneous biosynthesis of β-elemene using microbial cell factories. However, there has been less emphasis on the stereochemical configuration of germacrene A and its rearranged product, β-elemene.
