Abstract

From the aerial parts of Rubus ulmifolius Schott three new anthrones, rubanthrone A, B and C, have been isolated. Their structures were established by spectral procedures including 1D and 2D NMR techniques and chemical derivatization. Rubanthrone A showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus at 4.5 mg/ml.

In vitro lipolysis by human pancreatic lipase is specifically abolished by its inactive forms.

In human adults, the enzymatic hydrolysis of dietary fat along the digestive tract is sequentially catalyzed by two main enzymes, human gastric lipase (HGL) and human pancreatic lipase (HPL). Both a chemically inhibited form of HPL as well as an inactive HPL mutant with a glycine residue substituted for its catalytic serine were found to be strong inactivators of HPL activity. In the presence of bile salts, this inhibition was clearly due to competition for colipase. We established that the chemically inhibited HPL, probably in its open conformation, had a much greater affinity for colipase than the closed native form of HPL. These inhibitory effects are quite substantial, because a 0.2-M excess of the chemically inhibited HPL form relative to HPL reduced the catalytic lipolytic activity by 50% in the presence of an equimolar amount of colipase.

Optimization and validation of an analytical procedure by high-performance liquid chromatography for the quantification of peroxisomicines and isoperoxisomicines.

Peroxisomicine A1 is a potential antineoplastic substance extracted from plants of the genus Karwinskia. An RP-HPLC-DAD method was developed and validated for the separation and quantification of four isomers of this compound. These isomers coelute in the preparative procedure and are present at a proportion ranging between 3 and 5% in the peroxisomicine A1 purified in the laboratory. The desirability coefficient of the method described here was enhanced 140% with respect to the previously reported method.
