Title: Modulatory influence of Adhatoda vesica (Justicia adhatoda) leaf extract on the enzymes of xenobiotic
metabolism, antioxidant status and lipid peroxidation in mice.

Abstract: The effect of two different doses (50 and 100 mg/kg body wt/day for 14 days) of 80% ethanolic extract
of the leaves of Adhatoda vesica were examined on drug metabolizing phase I and phase II enzymes, antioxidant
enzymes, glutathione content, lactate dehydrogenase and lipid peroxidation in the liver of 8 weeks old Swiss
albino mice. The modulatory effect of the extract was also examined on extra-hepatic organs viz. lung, kidney
and forestomach for the activities of glutathione S-transferase, DT-diaphorase, superoxide dismutase and catalase.
Significant increase in the activities of acid soluble sulfhydry(-SH) content, cytochrome P450,
NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, cytochrome b5, NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase, glutathione S-transferase
(GST), DT-diaphorase (DTD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and
glutathione reductase (GR) were observed in the liver at both dose levels of treatments. Adhatoda vesica acted
as bifunctional inducer since it induced both phase I and phase II enzyme systems. Both the treated groups
showed significant decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) formation in liver, suggesting its role in protection
against prooxidant induced membrane damage. . .

Date Granted: December 04, 2001
Patent Class: 536-231
Patent Country: USA
Patent Assignee: Valtion Teknillinen Tutkimuskeskus, Espoo, Finland.
Languages: English.
Abstract: The present invention relates to recombinant-DNA-technology, and particularly to genes involved in the control
of basic metabolic processes in fungi. The invention specifically provides a mutated form of the native glucose repressor
gene cre of filamentous fungi, wherein the mutation is situated in the C-terminal domain, the N-terminal first zinc finger
being intact and the C-terminal region including the second zinc finger being mutated so that the viability of a strain
carrying said mutated gene is maintained and the glucose repression is relieved.
Major Concepts: Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics. Metabolism.
Chemicals & Biochemicals: glucose: repression.
Registry Numbers: 50-99-7Q: GLUCOSE; 58367-01-4Q: GLUCOSE.
Miscellaneous Descriptors: metabolic processing; recombinant-DNA-technology.

Abstract: Until recently, cytoskeletal proteins were thought to provide solely a mechanical support to the cell plasma
membrane. Recent studies have revealed, however, that cytoskeletal proteins are involved in the regulation of major
cell functions, such as cell signalling, protein trafficking, formation of specialized membrane domains, activity modulation
of ion channels, membrane pumps and receptors, control of cell proliferation and transcription activity, among others.
Therefore, identification of new human cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for improved understanding of cell function,
since they are major players in signal transduction pathways. Searching the ORESTES database, we found the
expressed sequence tag (EST) PM3-LT0032-231299-001-h11 that demonstrated similarity to the pleckstrin homology
(PH) domain of the cytoskeletal protein beta-spectrin...
