Disease relevance of Toxylon Pomiferum

This report demonstrates that human oral squamous carcinoma cells (SCC) are significantly more sensitive to growth inhibition by the naturally occurring flavonoid, morin (3,5,7,2',4'-pentahydroxyflavone) than normal oral mucosa (NOMC) (SCC IC(50) = 115 microM; NOMC IC(50) = 173 micro M; P for difference = 0.009) [1].
Scanning electron microscopy was used to follow fruiting body formation by pure cultures of Chondromyces crocatus M38 and Stigmatella aurantica [2].

High impact information on Toxylon Pomiferum

Four glycosyltransferases were identified from a collection of osage orange fruit expressed sequence tags [3].
In this study, we examined morin (3,5,7,2',4'-pentahydroxyflavone) for its effect on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-treated human hepatocytes [4].
A reinvestigation of the constituents of the Osage orange (maclura pomifera) yielded, in addition to the previously reported triterpenses (lupeol, butyrospermol, and lupan-3beta,20-diol), the pigments osajin and pomiferin, and a previously unreported constituent [5].
Plant root extracts of osage orange (Maclura pomifera), hybrid willow (Salix albaxmatsudana), or kou (Cordia subcordata), or plant root exudates of white mulberry (Morus alba) supported 15-20% benzo[a]pyrene removal over 24 h that was similar to a succinate grown culture and an unfed acetonitrile control [6].
Antioxidant isoflavones in Osage orange, Maclura pomifera (Raf.) Schneid [7].

Biological context of Toxylon Pomiferum

3-Hydroxyflavone (IC50 value 4 microM), 3,5,7,2',4'-pentahydroxyflavone (IC50 = 10 microM) and 5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone (IC50 = 7 microM) represent somewhat less active variations from this pattern [8].

Anatomical context of Toxylon Pomiferum

Absorption, fluorescence spectral and viscometric studies have been carried out on the interaction of Morin (2',3,4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone, ) and its Cu complex, CuL(2) x 2H(2)O [L=Morin (2'-OH group deprotonated), ] with calf thymus DNA [9].
5. The galactose-binding horse gram and osage orange lectins exerted antilipolytic activity in hamster but not in rat adipocytes [10].
