lsolation of a Microsomal Enzyme System lnvolved in Glucosinolate Biosynthesis from Seedlings of Tropaeolum majus L . ’ Liangcheng Du and Barbara
An in vitro system that converts phenylalanine to phenylacetaldoxime in the biosynthesis of the glucosinolate glucotropaeolin has been established in seedlings of Tropaeolum majus L. exposed to the combined treatment of jasmonic acid, ethanol, and light. l h e treatment resulted in a 9-fold induction, compared with untreated, dark-grown seedlings, of de novo biosynthesis measured as incorporati...
متن کاملMetabolism of Glucotropaeolin from Tropaeolum majus L. (Nasturtium) and the Bioavailability of Benzyl-Isothiocyanates in Growing Pigs
Tropaeolum majus L. is widely known as a medicinal plant in human medicine. It belongs to the Tropaeolaceae which contains mustard oil glycosides like cruciferous plants. In the case of T. majus, the intact glucosinolate glucotropaeolin showed no biological activity, but their degradation products, the isothiocyanates, did. The substances are thought to be enriched in the urinary bladder and th...
متن کاملBenzylglucosinolate Derived Isothiocyanate from Tropaeolum majus Reduces Gluconeogenic Gene and Protein Expression in Human Cells
Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.) contains high concentrations of benzylglcosinolate. We found that a hydrolysis product of benzyl glucosinolate-the benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC)-modulates the intracellular localization of the transcription factor Forkhead box O 1 (FOXO1). FoxO transcription factors can antagonize insulin effects and trigger a variety of cellular processes involved in tumor suppr...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Mustard Oil Glucosides: Sodium Phenylacetothiohydroximate and Desulfobenzylglucosinolate, Precursors of Benzylglucosinolate in Tropaeolum majus.
The biosynthesis of the mustard oil glucoside, benzylglucosinolate, was studied in Tropaeolum majus L. A number of labeled compounds were administered to plant shoots and the incorporation of tracer into benzylglucosinolate, isolated as the crystalline tetramethyl-ammonium salt, was measured. In order of decreasing efficiency of conversion into benzyl-glucosinolate the compounds fed were S-(bet...
متن کاملProlonged Diuretic Activity and Calcium-Sparing Effect of Tropaeolum majus: Evidence in the Prevention of Osteoporosis
Although several studies indicate high effectiveness in the use of the hydroethanolic extract from Tropaeolum majus (HETM) as a diuretic, the impact of its prolonged use in the presence of low estrogen levels remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the diuretic effects of prolonged administration of HETM in ovariectomized rats and their interrelationship between calcium ...
