The Arabidopsis downy mildew resistance gene, RPP13-Nd, functions independently of NDR1 and EDS1 and does not require the accumulation of salicylic acid.

RPP13-Nd-mediated resistance prevents parasitism by five isolates of Peronospora parasitica (At) in a transgenic Arabidopsis. Columbia background. We tested the effect of a number of known disease resistance mutations on the RPP13-Nd function and found that resistance remained unaltered in plants carrying mutations in either EDS1 or NDR1 and in double ndr1-1/eds1-2 mutant lines. Furthermore, we found that pbs2, pad4-1, npr1-1, and rps5-1, which compromise resistance to a number of P. parasitica (At) isolates, had no affect on RPP13-Nd function. In addition, RPP13-Nd-mediated resistance remained unchanged in a background of salicylic acid depletion (nahG). We conclude that RPP13-Nd is the first Arabidopsis R gene product reported to act via a novel signaling pathway that is independent of salicylic acid-mediated responses and is completely independent of NDR1 and EDS1.

Determination of salicylic acid in plasma by gas chromatography using steam as carrier gas.

A gas chromatography method using steam as the carrier gas was established for the determination of salicylic acid in plasma. A 0.5 mL plasma sample was mixed with 0.5 mL of 6N HCl and then extracted with 2 mL of dichloromethane. The dichloromethane was evaporated to dryness and the residue was redissolved in 0.5 mL of water and then analysed by gas chromatography using steam as the carrying gas. The result was calculated by external standardization.

Changes in salicylic acid and antioxidants during induced thermotolerance in mustard seedlings

Heat-acclimation or salicylic acid (SA) treatments were previously shown to induce thermotolerance in mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedlings from 1.5 to 4 h after treatment. In the present study we investigated changes in endogenous SA and antioxidants in relation to induced thermotolerance. Thirty minutes into a 1-h heat-acclimation treatment glucosylated SA had increased 5.5-fold and then declined during the next 6 h. Increases in free SA were smaller (2-fold) but significant. Changes in antioxidants showed the following similarities after either heat-acclimation or SA treatment. The reduced-to-oxidized ascorbate ratio was 5-fold lower than the controls 1 h after treatment but recovered by 2 h. The glutathione pool became slightly more oxidized from 2 h after treatment. Glutathione reductase activity was more than 50% higher during the first 2 h. Activities of dehydroascorbate reductase and monodehydroascorbate reductase decreased by at least 25% during the first 2 h but were 20% to 60% higher than the control levels after 3 to 6 h. One hour after heat acclimation ascorbate peroxidase activity was increased by 30%. Young leaves appeared to be better protected by antioxidant enzymes following heat acclimation than the cotyledons or stem. Changes in endogenous SA and antioxidants may be involved in heat acclimation.

Comparison of the absorption and metabolism of sulphasalazine and acrylic-coated 5-amino salicylic acid in normal subjects and patients with colitis.

Serum levels of 5-amino salicylic acid ( 5ASA ) and acetyl 5ASA have been measured in volunteers after ingestion of sulphasalazine (6 g) and compared with levels after an equivalent dose of acrylic coated 5ASA (2.4 g). The serum levels of both 5ASA and acetyl 5ASA were similar after each preparation apart from an early peak of 5ASA following acrylic coated 5ASA . Serum and urinary levels for 5ASA and acetyl 5ASA have been measured in colitic patients following equivalent doses of sulphasalazine and acrylic coated 5ASA . Serum levels were similar; 25% of the calculated ingested 5ASA was excreted in the urine after sulphasalazine compared with 20% following acrylic coated 5ASA .

Simultaneous determination of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid in aspirin delayed-release tablet formulations by second-derivative UV spectrophotometry.

A rapid, simple assay procedure was developed for simultaneous analysis of aspirin (ASA) and salicylic acid (SA) in aspirin delayed-release tablet formulation by 'zero crossing' second-derivative UV spectrophotometry. The zero-order absorption spectra and second derivative spectra of ASA and SA were recorded in diluting solution acetonitrile-formic acid (99:1). The accuracy of the method was demonstrated by the determination of ASA and SA in five tablets formulations (each 20 tablets of the same batch) by the described method and by high performance liquid chromatographic method, and the results were in good agreement.

Interaction of nickel with 4-(2'-benzothiazolylazo) salicylic acid (BTAS) and simultaneous first-derivative spectrophotometric determination of nickel(II) and iron(III).

The solution properties of nickel complex with 4-(2'-benzo-thiazolylazo) salicylic acid (BTAS) have been studied by zero-order absorption spectrophotometry in 40% (v/v) ethanol at 20 degrees C and an ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm(-3) (KNO(3)). The equilibria that exist in solution were established and the basic characteristics of complexes formed were determined. A new direct spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of the nickel is proposed based on the formation of the Ni (BTAS) complex at pH 7.0. The absorption maximum, molar absorbtivity, and Sandell's sensitivity of 1:1 (M:L) complex are 525 nm, 0.6 x 10(4) l mol(-1) cm(-1) and 2.824 x 10(-9) microg cm(-2), respectively. The use of first-derivative spectrophotometry eliminates the interference of iron and enables the simultaneous determination of nickel and iron using BTAS. Quantitative determination of Ni(II) and Fe(III) is possible in the range (0.59-7.08) and (2.1-8.4) microg ml(-1), respectively with a relative standard deviation of 0.5%. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of nickel and iron in steel alloys and aluminum alloys.

Simultaneous quantitative analysis of methyl salicylate, ethyl salicylate and salicylic acid from biological fluids using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) assay was developed for the quantitative analysis of methyl salicylate (MeS), ethyl salicylate (ES) and salicylic acid (SA) from biological fluids. The method was validated from 100-microl rat liver homogenate preparations (5 mg/ml protein) in 70 mM KH2PO4 (pH 7.4) buffer and from 100 microl rat plasma. The samples were extracted with chloroform, derivatized with BSTFA and quantitated by GC-MS in the SIM mode. The standard curves ranged from 31 ng/ml to 800 or 1250 ng/ml. Relative standard deviations and bias were less than 11% in plasma and homogenate for all compounds except SA which evidenced greater variability. The assay was used in preliminary experiments to characterize the pharmacokinetics of MeS in rats.

Analysis of the pmsCEAB gene cluster involved in biosynthesis of salicylic acid and the siderophore pseudomonine in the biocontrol strain Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS374.

Mutants of Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS374 defective in biosynthesis of the fluorescent siderophore pseudobactin still display siderophore activity, indicating the production of a second siderophore. A recombinant cosmid clone (pMB374-07) of a WCS374 gene library harboring loci necessary for the biosynthesis of salicylic acid (SA) and this second siderophore pseudomonine was isolated. The salicylate biosynthesis region of WCS374 was localized in a 5-kb EcoRI fragment of pMB374-07. The SA and pseudomonine biosynthesis region was identified by transfer of cosmid pMB374-07 to a pseudobactin-deficient strain of P. putida. Sequence analysis of the 5-kb subclone revealed the presence of four open reading frames (ORFs). Products of two ORFs (pmsC and pmsB) showed homologies with chorismate-utilizing enzymes; a third ORF (pmsE) encoded a protein with strong similarity with enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of siderophores in other bacterial species. The region also contained a putative histidine decarboxylase gene (pmsA). A putative promoter region and two predicted iron boxes were localized upstream of pmsC. We determined by reverse transcriptase-mediated PCR that the pmsCEAB genes are cotranscribed and that expression is iron regulated. In vivo expression of SA genes was achieved in P. putida and Escherichia coli cells. In E. coli, deletions affecting the first ORF (pmsC) diminished SA production, whereas deletion of pmsB abolished it completely. The pmsB gene induced low levels of SA production in E. coli when expressed under control of the lacZ promoter. Several lines of evidence indicate that SA and pseudomonine biosynthesis are related. Moreover, we isolated a Tn5 mutant (374-05) that is simultaneously impaired in SA and pseudomonine production.

Treatment of palmoplantar warts with a diphencyprone and salicylic acid ointment.

We report on 50 consecutive suitable patients with one or more palmoplantar warts who were treated with a patient-applied ointment comprising 0.1% diphencyprone and 15% salicylic acid in white soft paraffin. All patients sensitized to diphencyprone were followed up clinically and assessed by patient questionnaire. The intention to treat success rate in this series was 88%. The time to wart clearance ranged from less than 4 weeks to 4 months. In our patient group, 90% rated their treatment as 'excellent' or 'good', whereas 10% stated that the reaction induced by diphencyprone was 'too severe'. Our results are compared with those previously published using diphencyprone in the treatment of palmoplantar warts.

Systemic resistance in Arabidopsis induced by biocontrol bacteria is independent of salicylic acid accumulation and pathogenesis-related gene expression.

Systemic acquired resistance is a pathogen-inducible defense mechanism in plants. The resistant state is dependent on endogenous accumulation of salicylic acid (SA) and is characterized by the activation of genes encoding pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. Recently, selected nonpathogenic, root-colonizing biocontrol bacteria have been shown to trigger a systemic resistance response as well. To study the molecular basis underlying this type of systemic resistance, we developed an Arabidopsis-based model system using Fusarium oxysporum f sp raphani and Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato as challenging pathogens. Colonization of the rhizosphere by the biological control strain WCS417r of P. fluorescens resulted in a plant-mediated resistance response that significantly reduced symptoms elicited by both challenging pathogens. Moreover, growth of P. syringae in infected leaves was strongly inhibited in P. fluorescens WCS417r-treated plants. Transgenic Arabidopsis NahG plants, unable to accumulate SA, and wild-type plants were equally responsive to P. fluorescens WCS417r-mediated induction of resistance. Furthermore, P. fluorescens WCS417r-mediated systemic resistance did not coincide with the accumulation of PR mRNAs before challenge inoculation. These results indicate that P. fluorescens WCS417r induces a pathway different from the one that controls classic systemic acquired resistance and that this pathway leads to a form of systemic resistance independent of SA accumulation and PR gene expression.

Vitamin K1 accumulation in tobacco plants overexpressing bacterial genes involved in the biosynthesis of salicylic acid.

Phylloquinone (Vitamin K(1)) is an essential component of the photosynthetic electron transfer. As isochorismate is required for the biosynthesis of Vitamin K(1), isochorismate synthase (ICS) activity is expected to be present in all green plants. In bacteria salicylic acid (SA) is synthesized via a two step pathway involving ICS and isochorismate pyruvate lyase (IPL). The effect of the introduction in tobacco plants of the bacterial ICS and IPL genes on the endogenous isochorismate pathway was investigated. Transgenic tobacco plants in which IPL was targeted to the chloroplast suffered severe growth retardation and had low Vitamin K(1) content. Probably because isochorismate was channeled towards SA production, the plants were no longer able to produce normal levels of Vitamin K(1). Transgenic tobacco plants in which the bacterial ICS was present in the chloroplast showed higher Vitamin K(1) contents than wild type plants.

Salicylic acid: an old dog, new tricks, and staphylococcal disease.

Aspirin has been shown to cause a reduction in the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus-associated endocarditis. A new study reveals that salicylic acid, the major metabolite of aspirin, acts at the level of transcription to downregulate the production of fibrinogen, fibronectin, and alpha-hemolysin - virulence factors necessary for bacterial replication in host tissues and, now, potential therapeutic targets.

Intracranial microdialysis of salicylic acid to detect hydroxyl radical generation by monoamine oxidase inhibitor in the rat.

The effect of pargyline, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, on the generation of hydroxyl free radicals (OH) was investigated using striatal microdialysis. Salicylic acid in Ringer's solution (0.5 nmol microliter-1 min-1) was infused through a microdialysis probe to detect the generation of hydroxyl radicals (OH) as reflected by the formation of dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) in the striatum. When pargyline (100 nmol microliter-1 min-1) was infused in rat brain, the level of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) gradually decreased in a time-dependent manner. In addition, a marked elevation of DHBA was observed. The present results indicate that accumulation of dopamine (DA) in the extracellular fluid elicited by pargyline can be auto-oxidized, which in turn leads (possibly by an indirect mechanism) to the formation of cytotoxic OH free radicals.
