Comparison of local and systemic induction of acquired disease resistance in cucumber plants treated with benzothiadiazoles or salicylic acid.

The accumulation of chitinase and its involvement in systemic acquired disease resistance was analyzed using acibenzolar-S-methyl and salicylic acid (SA). Resistance against scab (pathogen: Cladosporium cucumerinum) and the accumulation of chitinase were rapidly induced in cucumber plants after treatment with acibenzolar-S-methyl. In contrast, SA protected the plants from C. cucumerinum and the accumulation of chitinase was induced only on the treated leaves. The accumulation of chitinase in response to inoculation with the pathogen was induced more rapidly in cucumber plants previously treated with acibenzolar-S-methyl than in plants pretreated with SA or water. Thus, it appears that a prospective signal(s), that induces systemic resistance, can be transferred from leaves treated with acibenzolar-S-methyl to the untreated upper and lower leaves where systemic resistance is elicited. In contrast, exogenously applied SA is not likely to function as a mobile, systemic resistance-inducing signal, because SA only induces localized acquired resistance.

The formation, vacuolar localization, and tonoplast transport of salicylic acid glucose conjugates in tobacco cell suspension cultures.

The metabolism of salicylic acid (SA) in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. KY 14) cell suspension cultures was examined by adding [7-14C]SA to the cell cultures for 24 h and identifying the metabolites through high performance liquid chromatography analysis. The three major metabolites of SA were SA 2-O-beta-D: -glucose (SAG), methylsalicylate 2-O-beta-D: -glucose (MeSAG) and methylsalicylate. Studies on the intracellular localization of the metabolites revealed that all of the SAG associated with tobacco protoplasts was localized in the vacuole. However, the majority of the MeSAG was located outside the vacuole. The tobacco cells contained an SA inducible SA glucosyltransferase (SAGT) enzyme that formed SAG. The SAGT enzyme was not associated with the vacuole and appeared to be a cytoplasmic enzyme. The vacuolar transport of SAG was characterized by measuring the uptake of [14C]SAG into tonoplast vesicles isolated from tobacco cell cultures. SAG uptake was stimulated eightfold by the addition of MgATP. The ATP-dependent uptake of SAG was inhibited by bafilomycin A1 (a specific inhibitor of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase) and dissipation of the transtonoplast H(+)-electrochemical gradient. Vanadate was not an inhibitor of SAG uptake. Several beta-glucose conjugates were strong inhibitors of SAG uptake, whereas glutathione and glucuronide conjugates were only marginally inhibitory. The SAG uptake exhibited Michaelis-Menten type saturation kinetics with a K(m) and V(max) value of 11 microM and 205 pmol min-1 mg-1, respectively, for SAG. Based on the transport characteristics it appears as if the vacuolar uptake of SAG in tobacco cells occurs through an H(+)-antiport-type mechanism.

Studies on the metal-complex of acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin).

The present communication deals with the isolation of acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin complexes with Bi+3 Zn+2 and UO2+2. The characterization of 1:2 complexes have been carried out with the help of conductometric, pH met;ric, elemental analysis and IR spectral studies. Spectrophotometric studies in case of UO2+2 (the only colored complex) in range of 4.2 to 5.5 pH show absorption at 490 nm and complex obey Beers Law at the concentration range of 0.01 M to 0.1 M.

Colonic release of 5-amino salicylic acid from an oral preparation in active ulcerative colitis.

5-amino salicylic acid coated with acrylic based resin was given orally to eight patients with active ulcerative colitis. Abdominal X-rays confirmed that the preparation released its contents in the terminal ileum and proximal colon. Differences between individuals were marked; the plasma 'concentration-time profile' reflected variations in the time taken for tablets to reach the terminal ileum.

Salicylic acid ointment peeling of the hands and forearms. Effective nonsurgical removal of pigmented lesions and actinic damage.

A methyl salicylate-buffered, croton oil-containing 50% salicylic acid ointment peel, following pretreatment with topical tretinoin and localized 20% trichloroacetic acid, is extremely effective for removal of lentigines, pigmented keratoses, and actinically damaged skin from the dorsum of the hands and forearms. The ease of application, uniform results, decreased risk of scarring, and one-time application of this peel, in comparison with other methods used for treatment of these aging-skin changes, warrants consideration by the dermatologic surgeon.

Compromising early salicylic acid accumulation delays the hypersensitive response and increases viral dispersal during lesion establishment in TMV-infected tobacco.

To investigate the role of salicylic acid (SA) in the hypersensitive response (HR) its accumulation was compromised during different phases of lesion development by differential expression of a salicylate hydroxylase gene (SH-L). Constitutive suppression of SA accumulation was achieved by expression of a gene fusion between the CaMV35S promoter (35S) and SH-L. Using the H2O2-responsive AoPR1 promoter to drive SH-L SA accumulation could be compromised at an early stage, on lesion formation and possibly prior to visible necrosis, whilst use of the salicylate-responsive PR1a promoter reduced SA accumulation at a later stage as lesions expand. TMV infection of 35S-SH-L and AoPR1-SH-L, but not PR1a-SH-L, tobacco resulted in significantly greater rates of lesion growth than in wild-type tobacco. TMV was detected in asymptomatic tissue surrounding lesions only in 35S-SH-L and AoPR1-SH-L lines; subsequently these transgenic lines exhibited a 'spreading-necrosis' originating from the lesion which entered the stem and eventually other leaves, a phenotype which could be correlated with the presence of TMV particles. Analysis of TMV-infected and 'temperature-shifted' tobacco indicated that both 35S-SH-L and AoPR1-SH-L, but not PR1a-SH-L, transgenics exhibited delayed cell-death compared to wild-type infections. We propose that the SH-L phenotypes indicate that early SA accumulation is a major factor in preventing viral escape, via mechanism(s) which may include influencing the rate of host-cell death and, possibly, an effect on viral function.

[Effect of salicylic acid on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in wheat under conditions of salination].

The effect of pretreatment with 0.05 mM salicylic acid (SA) on the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase in the roots of four-day-old seedlings of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was studied under conditions of salination. The level of the stress-induced accumulation of active oxygen species and, therefore, activities of SOD and peroxidase in seedlings pretreated with SA were significantly lower than in untreated seedlings, which indicates that these enzymes contribute to the protective effect of SA on plants under conditions of salination.

Salicylic acid decreases the levels of dehydrin-like proteins in Tibetan hulless barley leaves under water stress.

The effects of salicylic acid (SA) on the accumulation of dehydrins in leaves of Tibetan hulless barley seedlings under water stress were investigated. The results indicated that SA decreased the levels of the four dehydrin-like proteins induced by water stress. The concentrations of these dehydrin-like proteins increased under water stress. However, their levels in SA-pretreated seedlings were always lower than in those receiving only water stress. Our results also indicated that the levels of dehydrin-like proteins decreased as the SA concentration increased. In SA-pretreated seedlings, electrolyte leakage, MDA and H2O2 content were rather higher than in seedlings receiving only water stress. By these results, we suggest that lower levels of dehydrin-like proteins in seedlings with SA treatment may be due to the greater accumulation of H2O2 induced by SA, which causes more oxidative injury under water stress.

Salicylic acid in the machinery of hypersensitive cell death and disease resistance.

Although extensive data has described the key role of salicylic acid (SA) in signaling pathogen-induced disease resistance, its function in physiological processes related to cell death is still poorly understood. Recent studies have explored the requirement of SA for mounting the hypersensitive response (HR) against an invading pathogen, where a particular cell death process is activated at the site of attempted infection causing a confined lesion. Biochemical data suggest that SA potentiates the signal pathway for HR by affecting an early phosphorylation-sensitive step preceding the generation of pro-death signals, including those derived from the oxidative burst. Accordingly, the epistatic relationship between cell death and SA accumulation, analyzed in crosses between lesion-mimic mutants (spontaneous lesion formation) and the transgenic nahG line (depleted in SA) places the SA activity in a feedback loop downstream and upstream of cell death. Exciting advances have been made in the identification of cellular protective functions and cell death suppressors that might operate in HR. Moreover, the spatio-temporal patterns of the SA accumulation (non-homogeneous distribution, biphasic kinetics) described in some HR lesions, may also reveal important clues for unraveling the complex cellular network that tightly balances pro- and anti-death functions in the hypersensitive cell death.

[Drug transport through artificial lipoid membranes. 21. Ion pair transport with alkyl salicylic acids].

Using hexylsalicylic acid it was demonstrated that alkylated derivatives of salicylic acid are able to increase partition and transport of ionized basic drugs across lipophilic membranes. The influence of different donor concentrations on the relation of transport was studied by means of pholedrine in combination with hexylsalicylic acid. In order to explain the mechanism of the ion-pair-transport experiments were carried out which show beside the mentioned increase of transport the occurrence of a countertransport of protons and lithium-ions, respectively. The lipophilic counterion hexylsalicylate acts inside of this mechanism as a carrier for the ionized drugs.

Effects of hypnotic, placebo, and salicylic acid treatments on wart regression.

Subjects with warts on their hands and/or feet were randomly assigned to a hypnotic suggestion, topical salicylic acid, placebo, or no treatment control condition. Subjects in the three treated groups developed equivalent expectations of treatment success. Nevertheless, at the six-week follow-up interval only the hypnotic subjects had lost significantly more warts than the no treatment controls. Theoretical implications are discussed.

Overproduction of salicylic acid in plants by bacterial transgenes enhances pathogen resistance.

After a hypersensitive response to invading pathogens, plants show elevated accumulation of salicylic acid (SA), induced expression of plant defense genes, and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) to further infection by a broad range of pathogens. There is compelling evidence that SA plays a crucial role in triggering SAR. We have transformed tobacco with two bacterial genes coding for enzymes that convert chorismate into SA by a two-step process. When the two enzymes were targeted to the chloroplasts, the transgenic (CSA, constitutive SA biosynthesis) plants showed a 500- to 1,000-fold increased accumulation of SA and SA glucoside compared to control plants. Defense genes, particularly those encoding acidic pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, were constitutively expressed in CSA plants. This expression did not affect the plant phenotype, but the CSA plants showed a resistance to viral and fungal infection resembling SAR in nontransgenic plants.

Betamethasone dipropionate and salicylic acid lotion for nonscalp dermatoses.

A multicentric open study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of betamethasone dipropionate and salicylic acid lotion in 86 patients with psoriasis or other steroid-responsive dermatoses of nonscalp body areas. Medication was applied to affected areas for 14 to 31 days. Patients were evaluated weekly. Within 14 to 21 days of therapy, there were favorable results in 68/86 (79%) patients. A complete clearing or marked improvement of signs and symptoms was achieved in 78/86 (91%) patients; improvement occurred in 7/86 (8%). Treatment failed in one (1%) patient. Three transient adverse reactions were reported.
