Antiproliferative effects of tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima Swingle)
Phytotherapy Research, 2005Tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima Swingle) was evaluated for its cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities by a bioassay-oriented study. Cytotoxicity observed in HeLa cells was time-dependent; the treatment with 10 microg/mL of the root chloroform extract reduced cell viability by 56% at 24 h and 29% at 48 h of exposure, whereas no effect was ...

Ailanthus altissima (tree-of-heaven).
2021Abstract A. altissima, native to China, is a short to medium-size deciduous tree valued chiefly for timber, shade and urban amenity plantings. It is tolerant of drought, poor soils and pollution and so can be grown in difficult urban locations, although it is considered as a potentially weedy species in the USA (Shah, 1997). It is an

Isolation of Phytotoxic Compounds from Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima Swingle)
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2003The aqueous root extract of Ailanthus altissima showed allelopathic activity against radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. "Saxa"), garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.), and purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) seeds. A bioassay-oriented purification of active extracts, chromatographic fractions, and compounds demonstrated dose-dependent activity on germination ...

SummaryAlthough, to date, only six cases were recorded it was considered importantenough to mention them because of the dramatic response in 100% of patients.Three main symptoms were present in all cases, but the only criterion for inclusionin the trial was a positive Paul Bunnell test (thus confirming the diagnosis).Most homœopaths, including myself ...

Ailanthus altissima Mill. Swingle (Tree of Heaven)
1996The genus Ailanthus (family Simaroubaceae) comprises 15 species growing in east and south Asia and in north and east Australia. Ailanthus altissima Mill. Swingle (syn. A. glandulosa Desf.) is a large deciduous tree (Fig. 1) which has been cultured since 1751. It is represented by two varieties: var. erythrocarpa Rehd.

Microsatellites for tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima)
Molecular Ecology Notes, 2005AbstractNine (CT)n microsatellites were developed for tree of heaven, Ailanthus altissima, from invasive populations on the Mediterranean islands. These loci had seven to 12 alleles in 96 trees from five islands. Two loci had significant deficits of heterozygotes within islands while the other loci were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, and four pairs of ...

Evidence for allelopathy by tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima)
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1990Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle contains one or more phytotoxic compounds in roots and leaves. Activity is higher in roots, where it occurs primarily in the bark. Powdered root bark and leaflets strongly inhibited growth of garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) when mixed with soil in Petri dishes (ID50 values=0.03 g root bark, 0.6 g leaflet/dish ...

Phytochemistry, 2013
Tetracyclic triterpenoids (named as altissimanins A-E, 1-5) and a terpenylated coumarin (denominated as altissimacoumarin G, 6), along with fifteen known compounds (7-21) were isolated from the bark of Ailanthus altissima. Structures of compounds 1-6 were established by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations.

ALLELOPATHIC AND HERBICIDAL EFFECTS OF EXTRACTS FROM TREE OF HEAVEN (AILANTHUS ALTISSIMA)
American Journal of Botany, 1990Mature trees of Ailanthus altissima produce one or more potent inhibitors of seed germination and seedling growth. Inhibitor activity is highest in bark, especially of roots, intermediate in leaflets, and low in wood. Crude extracts of Ailanthus root bark and leaflets corresponding to 34 and 119 mg water extractable material/L, respectively, caused 50%
