Remarkable incorporation of the first sulfur containing indole derivative: another piece in the biosynthetic puzzle of crucifer phytoalexins.

چکیده
The first sulfur labelled compound, [(2)H(4),(34)S]indolyl-3-acetothiohydroxamic acid, is incorporated into the phytoalexins cyclobrassinin and spirobrassinin and the indole glucosinolate glucobrassicin, indicating that both biosynthetic pathways are closely related.

Antiproliferative Effect of Indole Phytoalexins.
Indole phytoalexins from crucifers have been shown to exhibit significant anti-cancer, chemopreventive, and antiproliferative activity. Phytoalexins are natural low molecular antimicrobial compounds that are synthesized and accumulated in plants after their exposure to pathogenic microorganisms. Most interestingly, crucifers appear to be the only plant family producing sulfur-containing indole ...

Understanding defence pathways of plants is crucial to develop disease-resistant agronomic crops, an important element of sustainable agriculture. For this reason, natural plant defenses such as phytoalexins, involved in protecting plants against microbial pathogens, have enormous biotechnological appeal. Crucifers are economically important plants, with worldwide impact as oilseeds, vegetables...

As a mechanism of defense against pathogens and other types of stress, watercress plants produce a variety of elicited chemical defenses generally known as phytoalexins. Herein the chemical structure, synthesis, biosynthesis and antifungal activity of cyclonasturlexin, the most intriguing indolyl phytoalexin isolated to date, are reported.

In this commentary, we argue that financial incentives are only one of many key components that employers should consider when designing and implementing a workplace wellness program. Strategies such as social encouragement and providing token rewards may also be effective in improving awareness and engagement. Should employers choose to utilize financial incentives, they should tailor them to ...
متن کاملCamalexin is synthesized from indole-3-acetaldoxime, a key branching point between primary and secondary metabolism in Arabidopsis.
Characteristic for cruciferous plants is their production of N- and S-containing indole phytoalexins with disease resistance and cancer-preventive properties, previously proposed to be synthesized from indole independently of tryptophan. We show that camalexin, the indole phytoalexin of Arabidopsis thaliana, is synthesized from tryptophan via indole-3-acetaldoxime (IAOx) in a reaction catalyzed...
