A protease has been purified from sarcocarp of Trichosanthes bracteata (Lam.) Voigt by four steps of chromatography. Its M(r) was estimated by SDS-PAGE to be ca 67,000. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 11 at 35 degrees using casein substrate. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by di-isopropyl
Trichosanthes kirilowii exhibits various biological functions including anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and anticancer activities. In this study, a novel protein with anti-cancer activity, named as TKP, was purified from Trichosanthes kirilowii fruit by cell-base screening. Mass spectrometry and
Trichosanthes kirilowii, which is a type of Liana from cucurbitaceous family, possesses many bioactive constituents and therefore has multifarious pharmacological functions. TKP, which is a serine protease extracted from the fruit of Trichosanthes kirilowii, has been reported to possess potential
A type-1 ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) designated TK-35 has been purified from the supernatant of suspension cultures of Agrobacterium rhizogenes-transformed stem sections of Trichosanthes kirilowii. The protein was purified from the supernatant by PerSeptive SH/M cation exchange and Sephadex
Root extract of Boerhaavia diffusa L. induced systemic resistance in tobacco against Tobacco mosaic virus. A 30 kDa protein was isolated as the active component, called BDP-30 on the basis of the molecular weight and source plant. BDP-30, a glycoprotein, was found to be temperature and protease
In this study, we sequenced a new type I ribosome-inactivating protein, trichoanguina, from the seeds of Trichosanthes anguina (snake gourd). Trichoanguina is a basic glycoprotein having an apparent molecular mass of 35.0 kD and possessing strong ribosome-inactivating activity. Trichoanguina was
Drug markets revisits herbal medicines, as historical usages address their therapeutic efficacies with less adverse effects. Moreover, herbal medicines save both cost and time in development. SH003, a modified version of traditional herbal medicine extracted from Astragalus membranaceus (Am),
Programmed cell death (apoptosis), a form of cell death, described by Kerr and Wyllie some 20 years ago, has generated considerable interest in recent years. The mechanisms by which this mode of cell death (seen both in animal and plant cells), takes place have been examined in detail. Extracellular
