Description: |
5-Heneicosylresorcinol shows inhibitory effects on the release of β-hexosaminidase from RBL-2H3 cells, it also prevents triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. 5-Heneicosylresorcinol has nematicidal activity against nematodes Panagrellus redivivus, Caenothabditis elegans and Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, with ED50 values of 80, 30, and 180 ug/mL, respectively.

J Agric Food Chem. 2004 Jan 28;52(2):246-50. | Inhibitory effect of natural phenolic lipids upon NAD-dependent dehydrogenases and on triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells in culture.[Pubmed: 14733503 ] | Alkylresorcinols are phenolic lipids present at levels of 0.03-0.15% in wheat and rye grains and almost 10 times higher in respective bran products. Despite numerous studies on the influence of dietary fibers on the regulation of energy metabolism, this issue still remains controversial.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The objective of our current studies was to investigate whether 5-n-alk(en)ylresorcinols, natural phenolic components of high fiber human diets, may be considered as natural regulators of excessive fat accumulation. Our studies revealed that 5-n-alk(en)ylresorcinols isolated from wheat and rye bran inhibit glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the key enzyme in triglyceride synthesis in adipocytes, specifically and effectively. Further in vitro studies showed that these compounds also prevent triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells.
CONCLUSIONS:
The most effective compound in both systems was 5-n-heneicosylresorcinol(5-Heneicosylresorcinol). The results indicate that the potential to prevent triglyceride accumulation increases with the hydrophobicity of the phenolic inhibitor. | Applied Biochemistry & Microbiology, 2016, 52(3):324-330. | Nematicidal metabolites from Gliocladium roseum YMF1.00133.[Reference: WebLink] |
A strain of the fungus Gliocladium roseum YMF1.00133 was found to secrete nematicidal metabolites against nematodes Panagrellus redivivus, Caenothabditis elegans and Bursaphelenchus xylophilus in experiments searching for nematicidal fungi. METHODS AND RESULTS: Through bioassay-guided fractionations, a unique trioxopiperazine alkaloid, gliocladin C (compound 1), and an alkylane resorcinol, 5-n-heneicosylresorcinol (5-Heneicosylresorcinol,compound 2) were obtained from the methanol extract of the fungus and determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis and spectroscopic data.
CONCLUSIONS:
In vitro immersion experiments showed that the ED50 values of compounds 1 and 2 after 24 h incubation were 15 and 30 μg/mL against C. elegans, 50 and 80 μg/mL against P. redivivus, and 200 and 180 μg/mL against B. xylophilus, respectively.
The X-ray diffraction data of compound 1 and the nematicidal activity of compounds 1 and 2 were reported for the first time. |
