High impact information on Clusia

  • To understand the importance of PEPC kinase in relation to its target PEPC in terms of CAM performance, the expression of the genes encoding the two enzymes was investigated in four species of Clusia that have photosynthetic patterns ranging from C3 photosynthesis to constitutive CAM [1].
  • This paper describes the antinociceptive action of 13,118-binaringenin (GB-1a), a biflavonoid isolated from Clusia columnaris and present in several plants of the family Guttiferae, in a writhing test and a formalin test [2].
  • Nemorosone, the major constituent of floral resins of Clusia rosea [3].
  • Prenylated benzophenone derivatives from Clusia havetiodes var. stenocarpa [4].
  • Two polyisoprenylated benzophenones from the trunk latex of Clusia grandiflora (Clusiaceae) [5].
 

Associations of Clusia with chemical compounds

  • New biphenyl compounds with DNA strand-scission activity from Clusia paralicola [6].
  • Phytochemical studies of the Guttiferae, Clusia hilariana, yielded oleanolic acid and nemorosone [7].
  • However, only Calophyllum brasiliense hexane extract showed significant inhibition on viral replication (ED(50)=37.1 microg/ml), while Clusia quadrangula was less active (ED(50)=124 microg/ml) [8].
