artocarpus rigidus/phosphatase

Conditions are described for using solid phase adsorbed jacalins in an immunocapture assay for IgA antibodies to the alkaline phosphatase of Schistosoma mansoni. Microtiter plates were activated with polylysine and jacalins were covalently adsorbed by means of glutaraldehyde. From three different

Four new stilbene derivatives, hypargystilbenes B-E (1-4), together with seven known compounds (5-11), were isolated from the stems of Artocarpus nanchuanensis S.S. Chang. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data. Hypargystilbene B, hypargystilbene D, and hypargystilbene E

Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam (Moraceae) stem bark has been used locally in managing diabetes mellitus with sparse scientific information. This study investigates the in vitro antioxidant potential of polyphenolic-rich extract of A heterophyllus stem bark as well as its antidiabetic

In an effort to identify agents from natural products that inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), 5 new prenylated stilbenes, (±)-styrastilbene A (1: ), styrastilbene B (2: ), and (±)-styrastilbenes C - E (3, 4: , and 7: ), along with 4 known structurally related compounds (5, 6, 8: , and

It has been well established that CD45 is a key receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) regulating Src-family protein tyrosine kinase (Src-PTK) in T and B lymphocytes. However, precisely how CD45 exerts its effect in these lymphocytes remains controversial. We recently reported that

Jacalin, an alpha-O-glycoside of the disaccharide Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (galactose beta1-3 N-acetylgalactosamine, T-antigen)-specific lectin from jackfruit seeds, has been shown to induce mitogenic responses and to block infection by HIV-1 in CD4+ T lymphocytes. The molecular mechanism
