Allergy-preventive effects of the flowers of Impatiens textori.

چکیده
The allergy-preventive activity of a 35% EtOH extract (IT) of flowers of Impatiens textori MIQ. was demonstrated in a continuing search for allergy-preventive substances from natural sources. The evaluation of its activity used an in vivo assay method for monitoring the blood flow decrease in the tail vein microcirculation of mice subjected to sensitization with hen-egg white lysozyme. Among the principal compounds in IT, apigenin (1), luteolin (3), and luteolin 7-glucoside (4) showed significant allergy-preventive effects.

Effects on blood pressure decrease in response to PAF of Impatiens textori MIQ.
A 35% EtOH extract of flowers of Impatiens textori MIQ. showed an inhibitory effect on blood pressure decrease in response to platelet activating factor (PAF) measured with a blood pressure monitoring system. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the 35% EtOH extract (IT) led to isolation of the flavones apigenin (1) and luteolin (3), which significantly inhibited blood pressure decrease in response...
متن کاملDemonstration of pollinator-mediated competition between two native Impatiens species, Impatiens noli-tangere and I. textori (Balsaminaceae)
Plant-plant interspecific competition via pollinators occurs when the flowering seasons of two or more plant species overlap and the pollinator fauna is shared. Negative sexual interactions between species (reproductive interference) through improper heterospecific pollen transfer have recently been reported between native and invasive species demonstrating pollination-driven competition. We fo...
متن کاملEffects of LED Light on Seed Emergence and Seedling Quality of Four Bedding Flowers
Recently much attention has been paid by horticulturists to light-emitting diodes as a new source of economical and spectral-selective light. The reason is mainly coming from their versatility in handling and mounting, long working time, wattage use efficiency and lower heat production. In this study we examined their potential in promoting seed germination and producing quality flower seedling...

Pollination services of pumpkin, Cucurbita pepo L., provided by the European honey bee, Apis mellifera L., were compared with two native bee species, the common eastern bumble bee, Bombus impatiens (Cresson), and Peponapis pruinosa Say, in New York from 2008 to 2010. Performance of each species was determined by comparing single-visit pollen deposition, percentage of visits that contacted the s...
