Essential oils Constituents of the leaves of Amomum gagnepainii and Amomum repoense. Natural product research, 2018, Volume: 32, Issue:3 The chemical constituents identified in the essential oils hydrodistilled from the leaves of Amomum gagnepainii T.L.Wu, K.Larsen and Turland and Amomum repoense Pierre ex Gagnep (Zingiberaceae) of Vietnam origin are reported. The chemical analyses were performed by means of gas chromatography-flame ionisation detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main compounds of A. gagnepainii were farnesyl acetate (18.5%), zerumbone (16.4%) and β-caryophyllene (10.5%). On the other hand, Amomum repoense comprised of monoterpenes dominated by β-pinene (33.5%), (E)-β-ocimene (9.6%), γ-terpinene (9.1%) and α-pinene (8.4%). This is the first report on the essential oils of A. gagnepainii and A. repoense grown in Vietnam or elsewhere.

Inhibitory actions of several natural products on proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells induced by Hsp60 from Chlamydia pneumoniae J138. Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2004, Oct-06, Volume: 52, Issue:20 Atherosclerosis is a vascular disorder involving inflammation, a narrowed vascular lumen in the entire tunica intima, and reduced elasticity of the arterial wall. It has been found that Hsp60 from Chlamydia pneumoniae, an obligate bacterial pathogen associated with atheroma lesions, mimics human Hsp60, thereby causing attacks by immune cells on stressed endothelial cells expressing endogenous Hsp60 on their surface. Furthermore, Hsp60 from C. pneumoniae has been shown to promote the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). To explore probes that can be used for studying signal transduction elicited by the chlamydial Hsp60, we have tested several natural products for their inhibitory actions on the Hsp60-induced proliferation of rat arterial smooth muscle cells. Sesamol, vanillyl alcohol, and trans-ferulic acid exhibited moderate inhibitory actions on the Hsp60-induced cell proliferation; zerumbone, humulene, and caryophylene effectively inhibited it at low concentrations with IC(50) values of 529, 122, and 110 nM, respectively. The results indicated that the 11-membered alicyclic ring is favorable for interactions with receptors involved in the Hsp60-induced VSMC proliferation.

Inhibitory actions of several natural products on proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells induced by Hsp60 from Chlamydia pneumoniae J138.

Atherosclerosis is a vascular disorder involving inflammation, a narrowed vascular lumen in the entire tunica intima, and reduced elasticity of the arterial wall. It has been found that Hsp60 from Chlamydia pneumoniae, an obligate bacterial pathogen associated with atheroma lesions, mimics human Hsp60, thereby causing attacks by immune cells on stressed endothelial cells expressing endogenous Hsp60 on their surface. Furthermore, Hsp60 from C. pneumoniae has been shown to promote the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). To explore probes that can be used for studying signal transduction elicited by the chlamydial Hsp60, we have tested several natural products for their inhibitory actions on the Hsp60-induced proliferation of rat arterial smooth muscle cells.
