Gaultheria Ethnobotany and Bioactivity: Blueberry Relatives with Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant, and Anticancer Constituents

摘要

Gaultheria属于杜鹃科，是一种典型的产生浆果的灌木，与蓝莓属的越橘非常相似。高卢属植物在世界范围内被广泛应用，尤其是在中国作为食物和药物。某些高卢属植物具有生物活性，如抗氧化剂、抗炎药和细胞毒性剂。通过文献检索和实地调查，对民族植物学的研究成果，特别是在中国，以及体外和体内的研究成果进行了批判性的评述。本文对该属植物的化学和生物活性进行了综述，为该属植物今后的健康发展奠定了基础。

Title:Gaultheria Ethnobotany and Bioactivity: Blueberry Relatives with Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant, and Anticancer Constituents

Volume: 25 Issue: 38

关键词: Gaultheria

摘要: Gaultheria, a genus belonging to the Ericaceae family, is typically a shrub that produces berries, and closely resembles the blueberry genus Vaccinium. Gaultheria species are used worldwide especially as food and medicine in China. Certain Gaultheria species are biologically active, as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and cytotoxic agents. Through literature searches and field surveys, the results of ethnobotanical uses, especially in China, as well as in vitro and in vivo studies are reviewed critically. This review examines the chemistry and bioactivity of this under-studied plant genus, and thus lays the groundwork for its future development for human health.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues

Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
