The aim of the present study was to investigate the antiosteoporotic activity of four structurally related diterpenoids: sugiol (1), trans-communic acid (2), 15-acetoxy imbricatolic acid (3) and imbricatolic acid (4). Their osteogenic effect was evaluated by using validated models including alkaline
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)] rapidly accumulates in elicited Cupressus lusitanica Mill. cultured cells by 4- to 5-fold over the control, and then it is metabolized. Correspondingly, phospholipase C (PLC) activity toward phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P(2)] is
The hepatoprotective and nephroprotective activity of cupressuflavone isolated from Cupressus macrocarpa was investigated against CCl4-induced toxicity in mice. Cupressuflavone was administered (40, 80, and 160 mg/kg/day) for five days. CCl4 was administered (0.5 mL/kg intraperitoneally) at the end
Two new phenolic glycosides (1, 2), along with fourteen known compounds (3-16) have been isolated from the fruit of Cupressus sempervirens. The structures of these compounds were determined by spectroscopic analysis and were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against glycogen phosphorylase and
Phytoremediation was used to regenerate a limestone quarry area. Plant growth mixed medium added over the quarry surface, consisting of a mixture of pyrolusite byproducts, natural soil, sand, and rice husk. Three different plant species: pine, cypress, and broom were planted at 9 randomized plots in
Temporal oscillations in hydrology are a common occurrence in wetlands and can result in alternating flooded and drained conditions in the surface soil. These oscillations in water levels can stimulate microbial activities and result in the mobilization and redistribution of significant amounts of
8,8''-Biapigeninyl (BA), a condensation product of two apigenin molecules, is found abundantly in the nuts of Cupressus sempervirens. We investigated the effects of BA on murine bone cells in vitro and in ovariectomized (OVx) mice. BA at 10(-10)M and 10(-8)M, inhibited osteoclastogenesis of bone
