  • Micropropagation of Rollinia mucosa (JACQ.) baill
    In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Plant, 2001
    Co-Authors: Solange Faria Lua Figueiredo, Norma Albarello, Vera Regina Campos Viana
    Abstract:

    A protocol for in vitro propagation of Rollinia mucosa , an important medicinal plant, was developed. The presence of 500 mg l^−1 polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) during explant excision was important to avoid browning. Axillary buds, adventitious buds, and shoot cluster proliferation were achieved from epicotyl and hypocotyl explants from nursery-grown seedlings. The highest direct organogenesis percentage from hypocotyl explants was obtained upon culture of explants on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 2.2 μ M benzyladenine (BA) plus 2.32 μ M kinetin. Epicotyl explants display highest regeneration frequency on a medium containing 8.8 μ M BA and 0.54 μ M naphthaleneacetic acid. Gibberellic acid was necessary for shoot elongation. Root induction was observed when shoots were pretreated with activated charcoal for 7 d in the dark before culture on Woody Plant Medium supplemented with 49.21 μ M indolebutyric acid for 10 d. Root development was observed when 20 g l^−1 sucrose was used. Rooted plantlets were acclimatized and grown in the greenhouse.

  • Rollinia mucosa cell suspension cultures: Establishment and growth conditions
    Plant Cell Tissue and Organ Culture, 2000
    Co-Authors: Solange Faria Lua Figueiredo, Cláudia Simões, Norma Albarello, Vera Regina Campos Viana
    Abstract:

    Different types and concentrations of plant growth regulators were tested in order to obtain the best callus and cell suspension culture growth conditions of Rollinia mucosa (Jacq.) Baill. (Annonaceae). Picloram was shown to be the most efficient for induction and production of friable calluses, independent of the concentration used. Cellular morphology and viability, fresh and dry weights, pH and medium sugar concentration were determined for cell suspension cultures. Dissimilation curves were used for the characterization of the growth of cell suspension cultures. Picloram provided the most rapid growth and produced the highest biomass, with little variation in morphology (differentiated cells). It also provided the highest dissimilation, when compared with cell suspension cultures maintained in media with 2,4-D or NAA + BA + GA_3. Stable cell suspension cultures can be established in MS medium supplemented with 20.8 μM picloram.

  • lignans from leaves seedlings and micropropagated plants of Rollinia mucosa jacq baill annonaceae
    Plant Cell Tissue and Organ Culture, 1999
    Co-Authors: Solange Faria Lua Figueiredo, Cláudia Simões, Norma Albarello, Vera Regina Campos Viana, Luiz C Trugo, Maria Auxiliadora Coelho Kaplan, William Robert Krul
    Abstract:

    Rollinia mucosa produces furofuranic lignans (magnolin, epiyangambin, yangambin) that are antagonists of platelet-activating factor (PAF). The biosynthetic capacity and the potential for the accumulation of furofuranic lignans, including epieudesmin, of the plants cultured both in vivo and in vitro conditions were evaluated. The production and the pattern of lignans accumulated were dependent on the origin of the plant material and the plant organ. The major accumulation of lignans was observed in leaves. In the mature leaves of in vivo grown seedlings magnolin and yangambin predominated, in contrast to leaves from in vitro propagated plants that presented epiyangambin as the major lignan.

  • antiplatelet activity of n methoxycarbonyl aporphines from Rollinia mucosa
    Phytochemistry, 2001
    Co-Authors: Reen Yen Kuo, Fang Rong Chang, Chung Yi Chen, Cheming Teng, Hsin Fu Yen
    Abstract:

    Bioassay-directed fractionation of the stems of Rollinia mucosa led to the isolation of new N-methoxycarbonyl aporphine alkaloids, romucosine A (1), romucosine B (2), romucosine C (3), and romucosine D (4), along with the known alkaloid, N-methoxylcarbonyl-nornuciferine (5). Alkaloids 1 and 4 exhibited significant inhibition of collagen, arachidonic acid, and platelet activating factor-induced platelet aggregation, and alkaloid 3 also showed an inhibitory effect on arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation.

  • Epomusenins A and B, two acetogenins from fruits of Rollinia mucosa☆
    Phytochemistry, 1996
    Co-Authors: Yuan Yng Chen, Fang Rong Chang, Hsin Fu Yen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Chromatography of an ethyl acetate extract of the fruits of Rollinia mucosa led to the isolation of two new γ-lactone acetogenins, epomusenins A and B, which are the first examples of the rare C37-type annonaceous acetogenins having an epoxide and a double bond along the aliphatic chain in place of the usual tetrahydrofuran moeity. The three known acetogenins, Rolliniastatin-1, Rolliniastatin-2 and squamocin were also isolated. The structures were established by means of one and two dimensional NMR experiments.
