  • Campsis grandiflora (Thunb.) K. Schum is an ornamental species with various useful biological effects. The chloroplast genome of C. grandiflora isolated in Korea is 154,293 bp long (GC ratio: 38.1%) and has four subregions: 84,121 bp of large single-copy (36.2%) and 18,521 bp of small single-copy (30.0%) regions are separated by 24,332 bp of inverted repeat (42.9%) regions including 132 genes (87 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). One single-nucleotide polymorphism and five insertion and deletion (INDEL) regions (40-bp in total) were identified, indicating a low level of intraspecific variation in the chloroplast genome. All five INDEL regions were linked to the repetitive sequences. Seventy-two normal simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 47 extended SSRs were identified to develop molecular markers. The phylogenetic trees of 29 representative Bignoniaceae chloroplast genomes indicate that the tribe-level phylogenic relationship is congruent with the findings of previous studies.

  • Objectives : Catalpa ovata G. Don (Bignoniaceae) has been shown to possess a variety of pharmacological activities. However, the effect of Catalpa ovata G. Don on endothelial adhesion molecule expression has not been reported. Methods : To examine the effect of Catalpa ovata G. Don on the expression of adhesion molecules in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), we used various methods such as Western blot analysis, reverse tranascription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and luciferase activity assay. Results : 1. The extract of Catalpa ovata G. Don inhibited the expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in HUVECs stimulated with TNF-${\alpha}$. 2. The extract of Catalpa ovata G. Don reduced TNF-${\alpha}$-induced adhesion of leukocytes to HUVECs. 3. In addition, The extract of Catalpa ovata G. Don inhibited the promoter activities of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. Conclusions : These results that Catalpa ovata G. Don may be beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory such as atherosclerosis.

  • Despite clinical advances in anticancer therapy, there is still a need for novel anticancer metabolites, with higher efficacy and lesser side effects. Oroxylum indicum (L.) Vent. is a small tree of the Bignoniaceae family which is well known for its food and medicinal properties. In present study, the chemopreventive properties of O. indicum hot and cold non-polar extracts (petroleum ether and chloroform) were investigated with MDA-MB-231 (cancer cells) and WRL-68 (non-tumor cells) by XTT assay. All the extracts, and particularly the petroleum ether hot extract (PHO), exhibited significantly (P<0.05) higher cytotoxicity in MDA-MB-231 when compared to WRL-68 cells. PHO was then tested for apoptosis induction in estrogen receptor (ER)-negative (MDA-MB-231) and ER-positive (MCF-7) breast cancer cells by cellular DNA fragmentation ELISA, where it proved more efficient in the MDA-MB-231 cells. Further, when PHO was tested for anti-metastatic potential in a cell migration inhibition assay, it exhibited beneficial effects. Thus non-polar extracts of O. indicum (especially PHO) can effectively target ER-negative breast cancer cells to induce apoptosis, without harming normal cells by cancer-specific cytotoxicity. Hence, it could be considered as an extract with candidate precursors to possibly harness or alleviate ER-negative breast cancer progression even in advanced stages of malignancy.

  • Kigelia africana (Lam.) Benth. (Bignoniaceae) is a flowering plants in South, Central and West Africa and commonly known as the sausage tree (Eng.); worsboom (Afr.); umVunguta, umFongothi (Zulu); Modukguhlu (North Sotho); Muvevha (Venda). The dried, powdered fruits are used as dressing for wounds and ulcers, haemorrhoids, rheumatism, purgative, skin-firming, lactation in breast-feeding mothers. The aim of this study is to investigate the cytotoxic and apoptotic potentials of 70% ethanolic extracts of Kigelia africana fruits in HCT116 human colon cancer cells. Treatment of Kigelia africana fruits with various concentrations resulted in a sequence of characteristic of apoptosis, including loss of cell viability and morphological changes. Flow cytometry analysis showed Kigelia africana fruits increased the sub-G1 phase (apoptosis) population. Apoptosis confirmed by annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide double staining in HCT116 human colon cancer cell lines. Moreover, analysis of the mechanism indicated that Kigelia africana fruits showed an increased Bax and Bcl-2 expressions in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in activation of hallmarks of apoptotic events, caspase-3, caspase-9 and cleaved poly-ADP-ribose polymerase. This is the first report to demonstrate the cytotoxicity of Kigelia africana fruits on HCT116 human colon cancer cells.

  • The flower of Campsis grandiflora K. Schum. Was extracted with 80% aqueous MeOH, and the concentrated extract was partitioned with EtOAc, n-BuOH and H$_2$O. From the EtO Ac fraction, seven triterpenoids were isolated through the repeated silica gel, ODS column chromatographies and preparative HPLC. From the result of physico- chemical data including NMR, MS and IR, the chemical structures of the compounds were determined as 3${\beta}$-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (oleanolic acid, 1), 3${\beta}$-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (ursolic acid, 2), 3${\beta}$-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-al (ursolic aldehyde, 3), 2${\alpha}$,3${\beta}$-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (maslinic acid, 4), 2${\alpha}$,3${\beta}$-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (corosolic acid, 5), 3${\beta}$,23-dihydroxyurs-12- en-28-oic acid (23-hydroxyursolic acid ,6) and 2${\alpha}$,3${\beta}$,23-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28- oic acid (arjunolic acid, 7). These teriterpenoids were isolated for the first time from this plant. Also, compounds 4, 5, 6, and 7 revealed relatively high hACAT-1 inhibitory activity with the value of 46.2${\pm}$1.1, 46.7${\pm}$0.9, 41.5${\pm}$1.3 and 60.8${\pm}$1.1% at the concentration of 100${\mu}$g/mL, respectively.
