Mirabilis himalaica (Edgew.) Heimerl is among the most important genuine medicinal plants in Tibet. However, the biosynthesis mechanisms of the active compounds in this species are unclear, severely limiting its application. To clarify the molecular biosynthesis mechanism of the key representative
Mirabilis himalaica (Edgew.) Heimerl is one of the most important genuine medicinal plants in Tibet, in which the special plateau habitat has been associated with its excellent medicinal quality and efficacy. However, the mechanisms by which environmental factors affect biosynthesis of secondary
BACKGROUND
The roots of Mirabilis himalaica have been used in Tibetan folk medicine for treatment of uterine cancer, nephritis edematous, renal calculus and arthrodynia. In our previous work, the ethanol extract of roots had shown potent cytotoxicity against human cancer cells. However, no
Bioassay-guided fractionation of an organic extract of the cell mass from a manipulated plant cell culture of Mirabilis jalapa led to the isolation and subsequent identification of three new phenolic compounds, 1, 2, and 3. The isoflavone 1 and dehydrorotenoid 2 were identified as the principal
Six previously undescribed flavonoids, 2S-5-methoxy-6-methyl-7,2'-dihydroxyflavanone, 5,7,2'-trihydroxy-6-methylflavone, 5,7,6'-trihydroxy-6-methylcoumaronochromone, 2,4',6'-trihydroxy-2'-methoxy-3'-methylchalcone, 6R,11-dimethoxy-9-hydroxyrotenoid, and 6R,11-dimethoxy-9-hydroxy-10-methylrotenoid,
Mirabilis himalaica is an endangered medicinal plant species in the Tibetan Plateau. The two genes respectively encoding chalcone synthase (MhCHS) and chalcone isomerase (MhCHI) were isolated and characterized from M. himalaica. The sequence analysis revealed that the two genes were similar with
