Abstract
Root extracts of Ancistrocladus tectorius (AT), a shrub native to China, have been shown to have antiviral and antitumor activities, but the anti-obesity effects of AT aerial parts, mainly the leaves and stems, have not been investigated. This study is the first to investigate the anti-obesity effects and molecular mechanism of AT 70% ethanol extract in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and high-fat diet (HFD)-fed C57BL/6J mice. Treatment with AT extract inhibited lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells and decreased the expression of adipogenesis-related genes. AT extract also upregulated the mRNA expression of genes related to mitochondrial dynamics in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. AT administration for 12 weeks reduced body weight and organ weights, including liver, pancreas, and white and brown adipose tissue, and improved plasma profiles such as glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol in HFD-fed mice. AT extract reduced HFD-induced hepatic steatosis with levels of liver TG and lipogenesis-related genes. AT extract upregulated thermogenesis-related genes such as Cidea, Pgc1α, Ucp1, Prdm16, Adrb1, and Adrb3 and mitochondrial dynamics-related genes such as Mff, Opa1, and Mfn2 in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Therefore, AT extract effectively reduced obesity by promoting thermogenesis and the mitochondrial dynamics of BAT in HFD-fed mice.

Abstract
Retarded development of exoerythrocytic stages of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei in human hepatoma cells by extracts from Dioncophyllaceae and Ancistrocladaceae species. International Journal for Parasitology 27: 29-32. Naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid-containing extracts (10 micrograms ml-1) of species belonging to the Dioncophyllaceae and the Ancistrocladaceae, 2 small tropical plant families, display pronounced in vitro activities against exoerythrocytic stages of Plasmodium berghei (Anka), developing in human hepatoma cells (Hep G2). The highest activities were obtained with CH2Cl2 root and bark extracts, and a CH2Cl2/NH3 leaf extract from Triphyophyllum peltatum, a CH2Cl2/NH3 root extract from Ancistrocladus abbreviatus, and a CH2Cl2 leaf extract from A. tectorius. The degrees of growth inhibition ranged within 27.7-70.0%. The commercially available drug primaquine diphosphate (25 micrograms ml-1) caused a comparable effect (62.1%) in the same test system.
