Four undescribed labdane diterpenoids, 1,2-dehydro-3,7-dioxo-manoyl oxide (1), 1,2-dehydro-7 beta-hydroxy-3-oxo-manoyl oxide (2), 3,7-dioxo-manoyl oxide (3), and 3beta-hydroxy-7-oxo-manoyl oxide (4) together with three known diterpenoids (5-7) and four highly methoxylated bibenzyls (8-11) were isolated from the liverwort Frullania inouei. The absolute structures of 1-4 were established by combined analysis of NMR data, CD data coupled with TDDFT CD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurement. Cytotoxicity tests to human tumor KB, KB/VCR, K562 or K562/A02 cells showed bibenzyls 8-11 inhibited cell proliferation with ID(50) values ranging from 11.3 to 49.6 microM and overcame the multidrug resistance (MDR) with the reversal fold (RF) values ranging from 3.19 to 10.91 (5 microM) for vincristine-resistant KB/VCR and RF values from 4.40 to 8.26 (5 microM) for adriamycin-resistant K562/A02 cells, respectively. However, none of the diterpenoids were found to be active (ID(50)>50 microM).

Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD), histone acetylation is disrupted, suggesting loss of transcriptional control. Moreover, converging evidence suggests an age- and AD-dependent loss of transcription controlled by all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), the bioactive metabolite of vitamin A (VA). Antioxidant depletion causes oxidative stress (OS).

Background: Disrupted balance between amyloidogenic and non-amyloidogenic pathways leads to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Evidence suggests vitamin A (VA) supplementation favors the non-amyloidogenic pathway through upregulation of α-secretase. Originally used to map embryonic retinoic acid (RA) signaling, RARE-LacZ mice possess multiple LacZ genes controlled by retinoic acid response elements (RAREs).

Drought stress significantly impacts wheat productivity, but plant growth regulators may help mitigate these effects. This study examined the influence of gibberellic acid (GA3) and abscisic acid (ABA) on wheat (Triticum aestivum L., CV: Giza 171) growth and yield under different water regimes.
