In vitro anti-HIV and -HSV activity and safety of sodium rutin sulfate as a microbicide candidate

Sodium rutin sulfate (SRS) is a sulfated rutin modified from the natural flavonol glycoside rutin. Here, we investigated its in vitro anti-HIV and -HSV activities and its cytotoxic profile. Fifty percent inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of SRS against HIV-1 X4 virus IIIB, HIV-1 R5 isolates Ada-M and Ba-L were 2.3 +/- 0.2, 4.5 +/- 2.0 and 8.5 +/- 3.8 mu M with a selectivity index (SI) of 563, 575 and 329, respectively. Its IC50 against primary R5 HIV-1 isolate from Yunnan province in China was 13.1 +/- 5.5 mu M, with a Sl of 197. In contrast, unsulfated rutin had no activity against any of the HIV-1 isolates tested. Further study indicated that SRS blocked viral entry and virus-cell fusion likely through interacting with the HIV- I envelope glycoprotein. SRS also demonstrated some activity against human herpes simplex virus (HSV) with an IC50 of 88.3 +/- 0.1 mu M and a Sl of 30. The 50% cytotoxicity concentration (CC50) of SRS was >3.0 mM, as determined in human genital ME 180, HeLa and primary human foreskin fibroblast cells. Minimum inhibitory concentration of SRS for vaginal lactobacilli was >3.0 mM. These results collectively indicate that SRS represents a novel candidate for anti-HIV-1/HSV microbicide development.

两种黄酮醇苷同分异构体的电喷雾质谱区分

Two flavonol glycoside isomers of Icariside Ⅰ and Caohuoside C were differentiated by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn) method.In the negative ion mode,the two compounds with different glycosyl moieties showed the same ESI-MS spectrum,but obvious different MS2 spectra and thus they can be distinguished rapidly,accurately and easily by ESI-MS.

水母雪莲DFR基因的克隆及其正义和反义植物表达载体的构建

水母雪莲（Saussurea medusa Maxim.）为多年生菊科植物，是我国珍稀药用资源。所含的主要生物活性成分是黄酮类物质，具有抗炎、镇痛、免疫抑制及抗氧化等功效。但由于水母雪莲生长环境特殊，生长缓慢，人工引种困难;加上长期掠夺性采挖，造成其野生药用资源短缺，已经不能满足市场的需求。近年来,世界上掀起了植物药开发的热潮,植物药以其天然低毒的特点倍受关注,而黄酮类化合物更是以其广谱的药理作用引人瞩目。 黄酮类化合物的合成代谢途径在植物界进化过程中很保守，黄酮类生物合成途径中的相关酶也已得到确证并进行了系统的研究。二氢黄酮醇-4-还原酶（Dihydroflavonol-4-reductase, DFR）是一个处于花色素或者原花色素合成途径中的关键酶，它与黄酮合成途径中的黄酮醇合成酶（flavonol synthase）竞争底物。本研究以水母雪莲为研究对象，根据近缘物种DFR基因的保守核苷酸序列设计兼并引物，通过PCR技术，从已经建立的水母雪莲红色愈伤组织cDNA文库中筛选到一个编码该酶的cDNA序列，该序列全长1166个碱基对。根据生物信息学分析，此cDNA编码342个氨基酸;Blastp分析结果显示，该氨基酸序列与同科植物翠菊（Callistephus chinensis）的相似性最高，达87%;SWISSMODEL软件预测其蛋白的三级结构与葡萄(Vitis vinifera)的十分相似，活性中心的关键氨基酸残基也完全一致。据此可以断定，我们所得到的cDNA为编码二氢黄酮醇还原酶的基因，并命名为水母雪莲二氢黄酮醇还原酶基因(SmDFR）。为了得到SmDFR的DNA序列，我们又设计特异引物，从水母雪莲的基因组中扩增出了由1871个碱基对组成的DNA序列，该序列包含五个内含子和六个外显子。 为了提高水母雪莲和大苞雪莲中黄酮类物质的含量，我们构建了SmDFR的反义植物表达载体，利用根癌农杆菌介导进行基因转化。通过改变影响农杆菌转化的实验条件包括外植体来源、农杆菌菌株、细菌浓度、外植体预培养时间、侵染时间和乙酰丁香酮的浓度进行转基因试验，目前尚未得到转基因植株。另外，我们构建了SmDFR正义植物表达载体，通过对拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana) DFR基因突变体和矮牵牛(Petunia hybrida)进行基因转化，来验证SmDFR的功能;目前，此实验尚在进行之中。

气体水合物生成特性实验研究

实验研究了添加剂对甲烷气体水合物形成过程的影响。发现微量的表面活性剂降低了甲烷气体水合物在静止反应器中形成的诱导时间，并使水合物快速形成和生长，提高了水合物形成过程中的填充密度。阴离子表面活性剂（十二烷基硫酸钠）对水合物生长的促进作用比非离子表面活性剂（烷基多糖苷）强。液态烃环戊烷降低了水合物形成的诱导时间，但环戊烷不能提高水合物的填充密度。
