Disease relevance of Oleaceae

• Cross-reactivity of Olea europaea with other Oleaceae species in allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma [1].

High impact information on Oleaceae

• RESULTS: Recombinant Fra e 1 (rFra e 1) is a glycoprotein of 145 amino acids exhibiting 82%, 88%, and 91% identity with Syr v 1, Ole e 1, and Lig v 1, allergens of the Oleaceae family [2].
• A microsomal fraction prepared from Abeliophyllum distichumNakai (Oleaceae) cell suspension cultures oxidized salidroside, a glucoside of 4-hydroxyphenylethyl alcohol, to cornoside possessing a unique benzoquinol ring [3].
• BACKGROUND: Ash, a wind-pollinated tree belonging to the family Oleaceae, is distributed world-wide and has been suggested as a potent allergen source in spring time [4].
• High genetic diversity and clonal growth in relict populations of Olea europaea subsp. laperrinei (Oleaceae) from Hoggar, Algeria [5].
• The distribution and biosynthesis of iridoid glucosides in the Oleaceae is reviewed and five distinct biosynthetic pathways to iridoids have been identified in the family, deoxyloganic acid apparently being a common intermediate [6].

Biological context of Oleaceae

• (Oleaceae) oil flavor was found to inhibit the oxidation of L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) catalyzed by mushroom tyrosinase, and the inhibition kinetics analyzed by a Lineweaver-Burk plot found that they are noncompetitive inhibitors [7].

Associations of Oleaceae with chemical compounds

• Iridoid glucosides from Myxopyrum smilacifolium [8].
• An investigation of the seasonal pattern of mannitol content in deciduous and evergreen species of the oleaceae growing in northern Sicily [9].
• Poliumoside, forsythoside B, echinacoside and arenarioside, caffeic glycoside esters, were isolated from several species of Oleaceae [10].
• From a single leaf of a herbarium sheet of Myxopyrum smilacifolium was isolated the iridoid glucosides myxopyroside (1) and its 6-O-acetyl-7-O-(E/Z)-p-methoxycinnamoyl esters (2/3) of dimethyl forsythide [8].
• Evaluation of serum specific IgE and skin responsiveness to allergenic extracts of Oleaceae pollens (Olea europaea, Fraxinus excelsior and Ligustrum vulgare) "in patients with respiratory allergy [11].

Gene context of Oleaceae

• Twenty individual sera of patients allergic to Oleaceae were investigated for specific IgE antibodies against the four species of Oleaceae pollens [12].
