Disease relevance of Hedera

 

High impact information on Hedera

  • The woody plants Hedera and Aucuba translocated sucrose as the dominant sugar species, and only traces of RFOs [4].
  • These antibodies also recognize a major band of similar size in developing seeds of English ivy (Hedera helix), an Araliaceae species that also accumulates petroselinic acid in a seed-specific manner [5].
  • It has previously been demonstrated that hederacolchiside-A1 (HCol-A1), a triterpenoid saponin from Hedera colchica Koch, has antimelanoma potential [6].
  • The antioxidant activities of alpha-hederin and hederasaponin-C from Hedera helix, and hederacolchisides-E and -F from Hedera colchica were investigated, in this study [7].
  • Here we report the isolation and immunoaffinity purification of plant natriuretic peptide (PNP) from ivy (Hedera helix) with rabbit anti-alpha-ANP (1-28) (human, canine) antiserum [8].
 

Associations of Hedera with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Hedera

  • Experimental and chemical investigations revealed that common ivy (Hedera helix susp. helix) contains 3 compounds which are powerful irritants and moderate sensitizers [2].
