Disease relevance of Chamaecyparis

Hinokitiol, a constituent of the wood of Chamaecyparis taiwanensis, was found to induce differentiation of teratocarcinoma F9 cells [1].

High impact information on Chamaecyparis

Don. and Chamaecyparis obtuse, Sieb. et Zucc., on ultraviolet B-induced apoptosis in keratinocytes and on metallothionein induction [2].
As part of a study on the antitumor activities of tropolone derivatives prepared from hinokitiol, which naturally occurs in the plants of Chamaecyparis species, effects of aromatic substituents of alpha,alpha-bis(7-hydroxy-5-isopropyltropon-2-yl)toluenes on the activity were examined [3].
Cloning and expression of an ABSCISIC ACID-INSENSITIVE 3 (ABI3) gene homologue of yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) [4].
Changes in ABA turnover and sensitivity that accompany dormancy termination of yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) seeds [5].
We measured water relations attributes of the terminal shoots of 3-year-old Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murr.) Parl.) seedlings that represented its geographic range [6].

Associations of Chamaecyparis with chemical compounds

The second major allergen of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Japanese cypress) pollen, Cha o 2, has been purified and its cDNA cloned [7].
In the course of our research for biologically active constituents from coniferous plants, a chromone derivative (1) and an abietane derivative (2) were isolated along with several diterpenes from Chamaecyparis pisifera [8].
Five new cadinane-type sesquiterpenes from the heartwood of Chamaecyparis obtusa var. formosana [9].
It was stated, that podocarpusflavone A and 7-O-methylamentoflavone in addition to amentoflavone and hinokiflavone may be classified as chemotaxonomic markers of the genus Chamaecyparis [10].
From the leaves of Chamaecyparis obtusa several biflavones were isolated and identified, namely: sciadopitysin, ginkgetin, isoginkgetin, podocarpusflavone B, 7,7"-O-dimethylamentoflavone, bilobetin, podocarpusflavone A, and 7-O-methylamentoflavone [10].

Gene context of Chamaecyparis

In Japan, pollen of Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa are a yearly source of distress for many people suffering seasonally from allergic rhinitis [11].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Chamaecyparis

Purification, characterization and molecular cloning of Cha o 1, a major allergen of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Japanese cypress) pollen [12].
