The effect of cyclic N-2-O-dibutyryl-adenosine-3′, 5′-monophosphate on neuromuscular transmission and concentration of glycogen in the isolated phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation of the rat

Résumé Le dérivé dibutyrique du 3, 5-AMP cyclique potentialise les contractions du diaphragme provoquées par stimulation électrique indirecte, alors que l'application du 3,5-AMP cyclique n'a pas un tel effet. D'autre part, ce dérivé diminue le taux de glycogène du diaphragme, ce qui n'est pas le cas pour le 3,5-AMP cyclique.

A new chalcone glucoside and cernuoside from the flowers ofAcacia dealbata

Summary A new chalcone glucoside has been isolated from the flowers ofAcacia dealbata and shown to be 4,2,4,6-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxychalcone 2-O--D-glucoside (1) by chemical degradations and spectroscopic methods. Cernuoside (4,6,3,4-tetrahydroxyaurone 4-O--D-glucoside), (2) has also been found in this plant material.Acknowledgments. The author thanks Prof. H.

Summary Incubation of 5,5-7,7-tetramethoxy-8,8-biflavone withAspergillus niger results in the formation of 4,4-dihydroxy-5,5-7,7-tetramethoxy-8,8-biflavan.Part of this work was done at Allahabad University, Chemical Laboratories.     

Bemerkungen zur Struktur des Capsorubins

Summary By oxidative degradation of capsorubin, it could be demonstrated that the methyl groups are in position 1, 1, 5 (1, 1, 5) and the OH-group is attached to carbon atom 3 (3). An analogous structure may be assumed for capsanthin and cryptocapsin.

Inhibition of the growth of cariogenic bacteria in vitro by plant falvanones

Phytoalexins, defensive compounds produced by plants against microbial infections, were purified fromSophora exigua (Leguminosae) and their growth inhibitory effects on oral cariogenic bacteria were determined in vitro. Among three isolated compounds, 5,7,2,4-tetrahydroxy-8-lavandulylflavanone completely inhibited the growth of oral bacteria including primary cariogenic mutans streptococci, other oral streptococci, actinomycetes, and lactobacilli, at concentrations of 1.56 to 6.25 g/ml.

Antagonism of dibutyryl-guo-3′:5′-P and atropine on stomach smooth muscle contraction

Riassunto Viene mettona in evidenza l'effetto contratturante del Guo-3:5-P sulla muscolatura liscia di stomaco di ratto in vitro. Tale effetto è antagonizzato dall'Atropina e scompare dopo vagotomia. Una possibile interazione fra il Guo-3:5-P e la trasmissione colinergica sembra così emergere da questi primi risultati.
