Differential recognition of natural and remodeled glycotopes by three Diocleae lectins

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2018
The carbohydrate specificities of Dioclea grandiflora lectins DGL-I1 and DGL-II, and Galactia lindenii lectin II (GLL-II) were explored by use of remodeled glycoproteins as well as by the lectin hemagglutinating activity against erythrocytes from various species with different glycomic profiles. The three lectins exhibited differences in glycan binding

Human Lymphocyte Stimulation by Legume Lectins from the Diocleae Tribe

Immunological Investigations, 1992
Lectins from eight leguminous seeds from the Diocleae tribe were compared to Concanavalin A (Con A), a well known T cell mitogen, on the stimulation of lymphocyte proliferation and Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from normal volunteers.

Canavanine in Canavalia paraguayensis, C. gladiata and Dioclea paraguayensis

Phytochemistry, 1972
Abstract A new method for the isolation of canavanine has been developed which has the advantage of handling small samples as well as enabling large scale isolation. Canavalia paraguayensis, C. gladiata and Dioclea paraguayensis are new sources of canavanine.

Dioclea grandiflora andDioclea sclerocarpa seeds. A nutritional study

Qualitas Plantarum Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 1986
A nutritional study ofDioclea grandiflora (Mucuna) andDioclea sclerocarpa, two legume seeds related toCanavalia which grow extensively in South America and are used as a human food source, has been carried out. Whilst both seeds, when fed to rats at a level equivalent to 100g seed protein kg−1 diet gave poor nutritional performance, the anti ...

Central antinociceptive effect of a hydroalcoholic extract of Dioclea grandiflora seeds in rodents

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2003
The acute treatment of rats and mice with a hydroalcoholic extract from the seeds of Dioclea grandiflora (EHDg) at doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg, by intraperitoneal or oral administration, produced a significant antinociceptive effect in the tail flick and hot plate tests, an effect which was inhibited by naloxone.

Dioclea violacea lectin inhibits tumorigenesis and tumor angiogenesis in vivo

Biochimie
Dioclea violacea seed mannose-binding lectin (DvL) has attracted considerable attention because of its interesting biological activities, including antitumor, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. This study evaluated the cytotoxic effect of DvL on tumor and normal cells using the mitochondrial activity reduction (MTT) assay, the carcinogenic ...

Dioclenol, a minor flavanonol from the root-bark of Dioclea grandiflora

Phytochemistry, 1997
Abstract Further investigation of the root-bark of Dioclea grandiflora resulted in the isolation of a minor constituent, dioclenol. The structure of dioclenol was determined to be 3,5,7-trihydroxy-8-methoxy-6-prenylflavanone on the basis of its spectral characteristics. The 13 C NMR assignments have been confirmed by a selective INEPT experiment.

Isolation and characterization of a novel lectin from Dioclea lehmanni (Fabaceae) seeds

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1998
Dioclea lehmanni seeds are known to contain two lectins [G. Pérez, M. Hernández, E. Mora, Isolation and characterization of a lectin from the seeds of Dioclea lehmanni, Phytochemistry 29 (1990) 1745-1749]. Taking advantage of the strong bond shown by one of them (Dioclea lehmanni lectin I) to Sephacryl S-200, it has been purified and characterized as a
