Structure-antioxidative activity relationships in benzylisoquinoline alkaloids.
The antioxidative properties of the aporphines boldine, glaucine and apomorphine, and of the benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines (+/-)-coclaurine and (+/-)-norarmepavine were compared in the brain homogenate autoxidation model. The IC50 values found lay in the 16-20 microM range for the aporphines and were 131.7 microM, and 79.3 microM for coclaurine and norarmepavine, respectively. These results ind...
متن کاملTransgenerational epigenetic inheritance of longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Chromatinmodifiers regulate lifespan in several organisms, raising the question of whether changes in chromatin states in the parental generation could be incompletely reprogrammed in the next generation and thereby affect the lifespan of descendants. The histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) complex, composed of ASH-2,WDR-5 and the histone methyltransferase SET-2, regulates Caenorhabdit...
متن کاملMating can cause transgenerational gene silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans
Gene silencing is a significant obstacle to genome engineering and has been proposed to be a non-self response against foreign DNA. Yet, some foreign genes remain expressed for many generations and some native genes remain silenced for many generations. How organisms determine whether a sequence is expressed or silenced is unclear. Here we show that a stably expressed foreign DNA sequence in C....
متن کاملAMPK blocks starvation-inducible transgenerational defects in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Life history events, such as traumatic stress, illness, or starvation, can influence us through molecular changes that are recorded in a pattern of characteristic chromatin modifications. These modifications are often associated with adaptive adjustments in gene expression that can persist throughout the lifetime of the organism, or even span multiple generations. Although these adaptations may...
متن کاملScreening of isoquinoline alkaloids for potent lipid metabolism modulation with Caenorhabditis elegans.
Metabolic syndrome and related disorders are increasingly prevalent in contemporary society, and thus pose the need for potent agents to control lipid accumulation in the body. This study indicates that Caenorhabditis elegans was effective in screening for potent lipid metabolism modulators with berberine as a model compound. Among the various isoquinoline alkaloids tested, sanguinarine, a benz...
