New antibiotics from bacterial natural products.

For the past five decades, the need for new antibiotics has been met largely by semisynthetic tailoring of natural product scaffolds discovered in the middle of the 20(th) century. More recently, however, advances in technology have sparked a resurgence in the discovery of natural product antibiotics from bacterial sources. In particular, efforts have refocused on finding new antibiotics from old sources (for example, streptomycetes) and new sources (for example, other actinomycetes, cyanobacteria and uncultured bacteria). This has resulted in several newly discovered antibiotics with unique scaffolds and/or novel mechanisms of action, with the potential to form a basis for new antibiotic classes addressing bacterial targets that are currently underexploited.

In vitro propagation of Galphimia glauca and content of the sedative compound galphimine-B in wild and micropropagated plants.

An in vitro micropropagation protocol is described for Galphimia glauca Cav. (Malpighighiaceae). Multiple shoots were formed in vitro from axillary bud explants inoculated on MS medium supplemented with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and kinetin (KN) combinations. A maximum of 20 shoots was obtained from a single bud in a 60-day culture period. In vitro-grown shoots were successfully rooted and transferred to field conditions (90 % survival). The sedative triterpenoid galphimine-B (1) content of micropropagated plants transferred to field conditions was similar to that of wild plants. Our results suggest that the in vitro propagation protocol described here will have positive effects on conservation of natural resources as well as on adequate techniques for multiplication of an important Mexican medicinal plant.

Evaluation of the biological activity of crude extracts from plants used in Yucatecan traditional medicine. Part II. DNA-interacting activity.

Extracts from leaves, stems, and roots of twelve plants used commonly in Yucatecan traditional medicine were evaluated in the DNA-methyl green assay. Twenty one extracts showed DNA-interacting activity, and nine of them, belonging to five plant species, presented a displacement activity of 5% or higher. The highest activity (17.6%) was detected in the leaf extract of Heliotropium angiospermum.
