/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Skin: From the plant Schefflera arboricola, which has been reported to cause allergic contact dermatitis, ... the elicitor of allergic contact dermatitis /was isolated and determined to be/ falcarinol, heptadeca-1,9(Z)-diene-4,6-diyne-3-ol. Three polyacetylenes closely related to falcarinol, namely falcarindiol, falcarinone and dehydrofalcarinone were tested simultaneously. Falcarinol, but not falcarindiol, falcarinone and dehydrofalcarinone, elicited allergic contact dermatitis in a 38-year-old female plant-nursery worker.
/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Experimental and chemical investigations revealed that common ivy (Hedera helix susp. helix) contains 3 compounds which are powerful irritants and moderate sensitizers. Only 2 of these constituents, falcarinol and didehydrofalcarinol, are present in the plant during the whole year. Besides Panax ginseng and Schefflera arboricola, this is the third species of the Araliaceae in which these polyacetylenic sensitizers have been found. Falcarinol and didehydrofalcarinol also occur in Hedera helix subsp. canariensis. 4 patients have been patch tested. Even in low concentrations (0.03%), the main allergen falcarinol elicited strong reactions in all of them. One of the authors became sensitized during the investigations.
Differential Effects of Falcarinol and Related Aliphatic C17-Polyacetylenes on Intestinal Cell Proliferation
摘要:
Quantitative major polyacetylenes of carrots (falcarinol and falcarindiol) and American ginseng roots (falcarinol and panaxydol) were isolated and tested in human intestinal epithelial cells of normal (FHs 74 Int.) and cancer (Caco-2) origin. A hormesis effect was seen for all isolated polyacetylenes when added to Caco-2 cells in concentrations ranging from 1 ng/mL to 20 mu g/mL. The relative inhibitory potency was falcarinol > panaxydol > falcarindiol. No hormesis effect was observed when adding the polyacetylenes to FHs 74 Int. cells. Instead, an inhibitory growth response was observed above 1 mu g/mL. The relative inhibitory potency was panaxydol > falcarinol > falcarindiol. Maximal inhibition at 20 mu g/mL corresponded to approximately 95% and 80% inhibition of cell proliferation in normal and cancer cells, respectively. Combinations of falcarinol and falcarindiol added to normal and cancer cells showed a synergistic response for the inhibition of cell growth. Furthermore, the oxidized form of falcarinol, falcarinon, showed a significantly less growth inhibitory effect in intestinal cells of both normal and cancer origin; hence, a hydroxyl group at C-3 may be important for activity of falcarinol-type polyacetylenes. Extracts of carrots, containing different amounts of falcarinol, falcarindiol, and falcarindiol 3-acetate had significant inhibitory effects on both normal and cancer cell proliferation. In cancer cells, the extract containing the highest concentration of falcarinol tended to have the highest growth inhibitory effect, in accordance with a higher potency of falcarinol than falcarindiol. The present study demonstrates that aliphatic C-17-polyacetylenes are potential anticancer principles of carrots and related vegetables and that synergistic interaction between bioactive polyacetylenes may be important for their bioactivity.
Chemoenzymatic Asymmetric Total Syntheses of Antitumor Agents (3R,9R,10R)- and (3S,9R,10R)-Panaxytriol and (R)- and (S)-Falcarinol from Panax ginseng Using an Enantioconvergent Enzyme-Triggered Cascade Reaction
摘要:
Total asymmetric synthesis of two components of Panax ginseng showing antitumor activity, i.e., (3R,9R,10R)- and (3S,9R,10R)-Panaxytriol and of both enantiomers of Falcarinol was accomplished. Due to the fact that the synthetic strategy was based on enantio-convergent biotransformations, the occurrence of any undesired stereoisomer was entirely avoided. The absolute configuration of naturally occurring Panaxytriol was confirmed to be (3R,9R,10R) on the basis of optical rotation values. It was shown that enzyme-triggered cascade reactions represent a valuable tool for the synthesis of natural products.

The present invention provides a bioconjugation method and compounds for use therein. The bioconjugation method comprises the step of conjugating a biological molecule containing a first unsaturated functional group with a payload comprising a second unsaturated functional group, wherein the first and second unsaturated functional groups are complementary to each other such that conjugation is a reaction of said functional groups via a Diels-Alder reaction which forms a cyclohexene ring.

Two very important factors in human life—which play vital roles in promoting well being—includes returning the body to homeostasis and giving boost to body called lifeforce to get overall health free from diseases, i.e., its optimal balanced functioning ability. When the body is at homeostasis, there is no place for disease. It is only when the body is out of balance (something is deficient, in excess or stagnating) that pain, illness or disease can occur. The application described is based on returning the body to homeostasis (removing the problem and balancing the body) by providing lifeforce and not on dealing with the symptom (e.g., pain, vitamin deficiency). Imbalance results in various diseases and adverse health conditions (starting from aging to diabetes and cancers). This wonderful composition will interact with the body in a way that allows it to boost lifeforce and reach homeostasis no matter which direction it was. In this combination, in the form of liquid, all the 14 ingredients (

Site-specific antibody-drug conjugates are described, in particular conjugates comprising an antibody which binds PSMA, and which comprises an amino acid substitution of an interchain cysteine residue by an amino acid that is not cysteine and pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs) having a labile protecting group in the form of a linker. The site of conjugation, along with modification of the antiobody moiety, allows for improved safety and efficacy of the ADC.
