Abstract
INTRODUCTION The stem of the plant species Derris scandens (Roxb.) Benth. (DS) contains genistein-7-O-[α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)]-β-glucopyranoside (GTG), which is a unique marker. Previous analyses of GTG using antibody-based immunoassays were compromised because of their high cross-reactivity with structurally related compounds of DS, thereby limiting their applicability in DS quality control. OBJECTIVE Conjugation of GTG with carrier proteins was achieved using the Mannich reaction to produce a highly specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting GTG (anti-GTG mAb). METHODS The anti-GTG mAb was generated using hybridoma technology and characterised using an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA). Both lateral-flow immunoassay (LFIA) and icELISA were developed to detect and quantify GTG in DS raw materials and associated products. RESULTS icELISA using the anti-GTG mAb showed 100% specificity for GTG, with only 1.77% cross-reactivity with genistin and less than 0.01% cross-reactivity with other compounds. icELISA demonstrated a linear range for GTG determination between 62.5 and 2000 ng/mL. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification were 49.68 and 62.50 ng/mL for GTG, respectively. The precision of the analysis ranged from 1.28% to 4.20% for repeatability and from 1.03% to 7.05% for reproducibility. The accuracy of the analysis ranged from 101.97% to 104.01% for GTG recovery. GTG levels determined via icELISA were consistent with those confirmed via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (R2 = 0.9903). Moreover, the LOD of LFIA for GTG was 500 ng/mL. CONCLUSION Immunoassays utilising specific anti-GTG mAbs were successfully developed, including LFIA for rapid GTG detection and icELISA for GTG quantification.

Abstract
Three undescribed isoflavones, derriscandenon A, B, and C, together with seven known isoflavones were isolated and structurally characterized during a study of the chemical constituents in the leaves of Derris scandens (Roxb.) Benth (Leguminosae, Fabaceae) collected in Bangladesh. The inhibitory activity of the compounds against activation of Epstein-Barr virus antigen (EBV-EA) by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbo-13-acetate (TPA) was measured to identify possible chemopreventive agents. Mild inhibitory effects (IC50 278-290 mol ratio/32 pmol TPA) against EBV-EA induction compared with curcumin (IC50 341 mol ratio/32 pmol TPA) were observed for four known compounds (lupalbigenin, isopalbigenin, glyurallin, and isangustone A). Next, we focused on antitumor effects and investigated cell viability, cell proliferation, and mitochondria membrane potential by using an MTT assay, a live cell monitoring system, and fluorescence staining. Of the seven isoflavones tested for cell viability, a dose-dependent decrease in cell viability was observed for four isoflavones (derriscandenon B and C, derrubone, and glyurallin) in KB cells and two compounds (derriscandenon B and isochandaisone) in NALM6-MSH+ cells. In addition, the proliferation of KB cells was significantly inhibited by these four compounds at a concentration of 5 μM. The mitochondria membrane potentials of KB cells treated with derriscandenon C, derrubone, and glyurallin at the IC50 concentration were decreased by about 55%, whereas undescribed compound derriscandenon B had no effect. Our results show that some of the compounds isolated from D. scandens may be suitable as seed compounds for cancer prevention and therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chromatographic techniques coupled with bioassays are popularly used for the detection of bioactive compounds in natural products. In this study phytochemicals responsible for showing Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitory activity in Derris scandens were studied using at-line method. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to develop an at-line liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS) micro-fractionation method for rapid separation and identification of PDE5A1 inhibitors in 95% ethanolic extract of D. scandens. METHODOLOGY Initially, the correlation between LC-MS and PDE5A1 inhibitory activity was studied using three concentrations of 1:1 mixture of sildenafil and derrisisoflavone A; PDE5A1 inhibitors. The mixture was separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column and the eluent was split into two flows in the ratio of 1:9. The major part was collected in a 96-well plate, in each well consecutively every 30 s. The minor part was fed into an electrospray ionisation (ESI)-QTOF-MS system. After subsequent solvent removal, the collected micro-fractions were subjected to radioassay to determine PDE5A1 inhibition. RESULTS The result showed, PDE5A1 inhibitory activities of the micro-fractions were observed in a dose response manner and found to be in agreement with an off-line study. Similarly, 95% ethanolic extract of D. scandens was subjected to the at-line LC-QTOF-MS micro-fractionation developed, resulting in separation and tentative identification of 25 compounds with PDE5A1 inhibitory activity. Most of the compounds contained prenylated isoflavone skeleton. Additionally, the active micro-fractions also showed selectivity on PDE5A1 over PDE6 and PDE1B. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that the at-line coupled LC-QTOF-MS micro-fractionation with PDE5A1 inhibitory assay is a valuable tool for identifying PDE5A1 inhibitors from complex extracts.

Abstract
Environmental changes and anthropogenic activities can be linked to altered distribution and abundance of species. However, the ecological impacts of change in the microenvironment have not been well documented. Herein, we have identified the distribution of mangroves and associated species and characterized surface sediment and water samples along the banks of River Hooghly. The application of Combined Mangrove Recognition Index (CMRI) and its validation with the available ground data on satellite image of 2015 indicates that some mangrove species have reclaimed the upper course of the river, which was earlier absent before 1995. This study is the first report on the upstream migration of mangrove species such as Sonneratia caseolaris, Sonneratia apetala, Derris trifoliata, Hibiscus tiliaceus, and Thespesia populnea in River Hooghly. The changes in pollution load, varied sedimentation pattern, high chemical oxygen demand, mean sea-level rise, and anthropogenic activity might have played a significant role in the upstream migration of mangroves.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The plants used in this study had previously been identified and used by Thai folk practitioners, who had knowledge of Thai traditional medicine, as alternative treatments for cancer. Investigation into the mechanism of the Topoisomerase II (Top2) poison of these plants may give rise to new drug leads for cancer treatment. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to screen ethnomedicinal plants used in Thai traditional medicine for Top2 poison activity using a yeast cell-based assay and also to validate the traditional uses of these plants by examining the Top2 poison activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty Thai medicinal plants were harvested and identified. Plant methanol extracts were prepared and screened in vitro using a yeast cell-based assay. Mutant yeast strains carrying the top2-1 allele, which encodes a temperature-sensitive topoisomerase, were used to establish the yeast spot test. Strains carrying this mutation grow normally at 25°C and generally have a wild-type drug sensitivity. These yeast strains are able to grow at 30°C, but the Top2 activity is greatly reduced at this temperature, which causes the strains to be highly drug resistant to anti-Top2 agents. Cell growth was measured by colony survival after exposure to various concentrations of extracts at different temperatures. RESULTS The extracts of six out of thirty ethnomedicinal plants, Curcuma longa, C. zedoaria, Derris scandens, Grangea maderaspatana, Stephania pierrei and S. suberosa, were found to have Top2 poison activity against the yeast cells. CONCLUSIONS The yeast screening system confirmed the proposed anti-cancer mechanisms of plants used in Thai traditional medicine by traditional doctors.

Abstract
Pomiferin, a prenylated isoflavonoid from Derris malaccensis with strong anti-fungal and anti-oxidant activities, showed cytotoxic activity towards human cholangiocarcinoma cells (HuCCA-1), with IC(50) of 0.9 microg/mL. Pomiferin caused apoptosis, detectable by DNA fragmentation. Two-dimensional PAGE showed increased expression of 12 proteins, namely glucose-regulated protein 75 (grp 75), calcyclin (S100A6), degraded cytokeratin 19, ATP synthase D, ribosomal protein P0, degraded cytokeratin 18 (two spots pI/MW 6.03/29.9 and pI/MW 4.66/21.5), cofilin, annexin A1, triose phosphate isomerase, peroxiredoxin-1, calgizzarin, and profilin. In contrast, cytokeratins (CK) 7, 18 and 19 were down-regulated, and were shown by 1-DE immunodetection to be degraded.

Abstract
Fractionation of the aqueous extract of Derris scandens stems extract using tests for eicosanoid inhibition resulted in the isolation of three isoflavonoids, genistein, its 7- O-alpha-rhamno(1-->6)-beta-glucosyl glycoside, a new compound, and two known isoprenyl derivatives 3'-gamma,gamma-dimethylallylweighteone and scandenin. The isoprenylated compounds showed a high inhibitory effect on eicosanoid production in vitro but HPLC analysis showed that the genistein accounted for most of the activity of the total extract. Antioxidant studies showed that genistein and the isoprenylated compounds showed activity comparable to standard antioxidants. Genistein and its glycoside demonstrated no cytotoxicity in the MTT test but the prenylated compounds showed some toxicity and also increased LDH release from polymorphonucleocytes, at concentrations much greater than would be encountered in an aqueous extract of D. scandens.

Abstract
A study of the chemical constituents of the stems of Derris trifoliata Lour. (Leguminosae) led to the isolation and identification of one new rotenoid, 6aalpha,12aalpha-12a-hydroxyelliptone ( 3), together with five other known rotenoids. In a search for novel cancer chemopreventive agents (anti-tumor promoters), we carried out a primary screening of five of the rotenoids isolated from the plant for their inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation induced by 12- O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) in Raji cells. The inhibitory activity of 3 was found to be equivalent to that of beta-carotene without any cytotoxicity. Deguelin ( 4) and alpha-toxicarol ( 5) exhibited a marked inhibitory effect on mouse skin tumor promotion in an in vivo two-stage carcinogenesis test. This investigation indicated that rotenoids might be valuable anti-tumor promoters.

Abstract
The leaves of Acanthus ebracteatus, stembark of Oroxylum indicum and the stems of Cryptolepis buchanani and Derris scandens are used as traditional remedies in Thailand for arthritis. Aqueous and alcoholic extracts were tested using three different in vitro systems for effects relevant to anti-inflammatory activity. The aqueous extracts of O. indicum and D. scandens significantly reduced myeloperoxide release. Eicosanoid production was reduced only by the aqueous extracts of A. ebracteatus and D. scandens. D. scandens extract showed potent inhibitory activity against generation of leukotriene B(4) and also displayed antioxidant activity. In the rat hind paw edema test, D. scandens extract showed significant activity when given intraperitoneally but did not produce a significant reduction when given orally. The results therefore supported to some extent the traditional use of D. scandens for arthritic conditions and provided slight indication of activity which could explain the use of O. indicum and A. ebracteatus. No relevant activity was demonstrated in any of the tests for C. buchanani extracts.

Abstract
Laboratory-reared Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz and Neiva 1912) was tested with extracts of two ichthyotoxic plants, known as timbós, used as fishing poison in the Amazon. Phlebotomines, L. longipalpis, and plants, Antonia ovata and Derris amazonica, were collected in the Raposa-Serra do Sol Indian Reserve, a focus of visceral leishmaniasis in the State of Roraima, Brazil. Extracts were prepared from dried leaves of A. ovata and roots of D. amazonica that were percolated in water, filtered and dried out at 50 degrees C. The solid extract obtained was diluted in water at 150, 200 and 250 mg/ml. The solution was blotted in filter paper placed at the bottom of cylindric glass tubes containing sand flies. For each plant extract and dilution, two series of triplicates with 5 male and 5 female specimens of L. longipalpis were used. Mortality was recorded every 2 h during 72 h of exposure. At 72 h the mortality was as high as 80% for extracts of A. ovata (LD50 = 233 mg/ ml), and 100% for D. amazonica (LD50 = 212 mg/ ml) whereas in the control groups maximum mortality never surpassed 13%. Preliminary assays indicated that A. ovata and D. amazonica displayed significant insecticide effect against L. longipalpis.

Abstract
The toxicity of DDT as a contact spray under laboratory conditions has been tested on a number of insect species. The particulars of the species used are set out below.The toxicity of the DDT spray was compared in every instance with nicotine. A rotenone or derris suspension was included in the tests on Myzus cerasi, Phaedon cochleariae, Pieris brassicae, Pteronus ribesii and Phymatocera aterrima, and a pyrethrin spray in the tests on Pieris brassicae, Pteronus ribesii and Phymatocera aterrima.
