  Screening extracts of Achyranthes japonica and Rumex crispus for activity against various plant pathogenic fungi and control of powdery mildew:Pest Manag Sci. 2004 Aug;60(8):803-8.

 Methanol extracts of fresh materials of 183 plants were screened for in vivo antifungal activity against Magnaporthe grisea, Corticium sasaki, Botrytis cinerea, Phytophthora infestans, Puccinia recondita and Erysiphe graminis f sp hordei. Among them, 33 plant extracts showed disease-control efficacy of more than 90% against at least one of six plant diseases. The methanol extracts of Achyranthes japonica (whole plant) and Rumex crispus (roots) at concentrations greater than 11 g fresh weight of plant tissue per litre of aqueous Tween 20 solution effectively controlled the development of barley powdery mildew caused by E graminis f sp hordei in an in vivo assay using plant seedlings. At a concentration of 300 g fresh weight of plant tissue per litre of Tween 20 solution, the two extracts were as efficient as the fungicide fenarimol (30 mg litre(-1)) and more active than the fungicide polyoxin B (100 and 33 mg litre(-1)) against Sphaerotheca fuliginea on cucumber plants in glasshouse trials.

  1,5-dihydroxyanthraquinones and an anthrone from roots of Rumex crispus.:Nat Prod Lett. 2002 Feb;16(1):65-70.G¨¹naydin K, Top?u G, Ion RM.Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Mustafa Kemal University, Hatay, Turkey.

 From the roots of Rumex crispus, two known anthraquinones and a new one together with a new anthrone were isolated and the structures of compounds 1-4 were elucidated by spectroscopic means. The singlet oxygen generation capacity was tested with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) for compounds 1-4.

  Determination of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Rumex crispus L. extracts.:J Agric Food Chem. 2001 Aug;49(8):4083-9.Yildirim A, Mavi A, Kara AA.

 The antioxidant activities, reducing powers, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activities, amount of total phenolic compounds, and antimicrobial activities of ether, ethanol, and hot water extracts of the leaves and seeds of Rumex crispus L. were studied. The antioxidant activities of extracts increase with increasing amount of extracts (50-150 microg). However, the water extracts of both the leaves and seeds have shown the highest antioxidant activities. Thus, addition of 75 microg of each of the above extracts to the linoleic acid emulsion caused the inhibition of peroxide formation by 96 and 94%, respectively. Although the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of seed was lower than the water extract, the difference between these was not statistically significant, P > 0.05. Unlike the other extracts, 75 microg of the ether extract of seeds was unable to show statistically significant antioxidant activity, P > 0.05 (between this extract and control in that there is no extract in the test sample). Among all of the extracts, the highest amount of total phenolic compound was found in the ethanol extract of seeds, whereas the lowest amount was found in the ether extract of seeds. Like phenolic compounds, the highest reducing power and the highest DPPH scavenging activity were found in the ethanol extract of seeds. However, the reducing activity of the ethanol extract of seeds was approximately 40% that of ascorbic acid, whereas in the presence of 400 microg of water and ethanol extracts of seeds scavenging activities were about 85 and 90%, respectively. There were statistically significant correlations between amount of phenolic compounds and reducing power and between amount of phenolic compounds and percent DPPH scavenging activities (r = 0.99, P < 0.01, and r = 0.864, P < 0.05, respectively) and also between reducing powers and percent DPPH scavenging activities (r = 0.892, P < 0.05). The ether extracts of both the leaves and seeds and ethanol extract of leaves had shown antimicrobial activities on Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. However, none of the water extracts showed antimicrobial activity on the studied microorganisms.

  Aero-allergens in canine atopic dermatitis in southeastern Australia based on 1000 intradermal skin tests:Aust Vet J. 2000 Jun;78(6):392-9.Mueller RS, Bettenay SV, Tideman L.Animal Skin & Allergy Clinic, Mount Waverley, Victoria. rmueller@vth.colostate.edu

 OBJECTIVE: To determine the most relevant aero-allergens involved in canine atopic dermatitis in southeastern Australia and provide information about these aero-allergens to the general practitioner. PROCEDURE: Dogs presented to the Animal Skin & Allergy Clinic with history and clinical signs of atopic dermatitis were injected intradermally with 38 different allergens and negative and positive control. Intradermal skin tests in 1000 dogs were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS: One third of all patients reacted to the house dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae. Allergens reacting in more than 15% of the patients were wheat (Triticum aestivum), sweet vernal (Anthoxanthum odoratum), English couch (Agropyron repens), yellow dock (Rumex crispus), Mexican tea (Chenopodium ambrosioides), plantain (Plantago lanceolata), melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) and peppercorn (Schimus spp). CONCLUSION: House dust mites are the most common allergens in canine atopic dermatitis in southeastern Australia and D farinae is involved most frequently. However, a number of grass, weed and tree pollens also are involved regularly.

  Aeroallergens and viable microbes in sandstorm dust. Potential triggers of allergic and nonallergic respiratory ailments:Allergy. 1998 Mar;53(3):255-65.Kwaasi AA, Parhar RS, al-Mohanna FA, Harfi HA, Collison KS, al-Sedairy ST.Department of Biological and Medical Research, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

 Aeroallergens and antigens in sandstorm dust, extracts of which were skin prick test (SPT) positive in allergic patients, were detected by rocket immunoelectrophoresis and ELISA. Fungi and bacteria isolated by agar settle plates and soil dilution and soil washing methods were enumerated and identified. Cat dander, Acacia, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chenopodium, Cladosporium, Bermuda grass, Pithecellobium, Prosopis, Rumex, cultivated rye, and Washingtonia palm allergens were detected by both methods. Viable microbes including 1892 +/- 325 colony-forming units (cfu) of bacteria, and 869 +/- 75 cfu of fungi were isolated per gram of dust by the soil dilution method. Randomly selected microbial colonies on streaking and subculture were found to consist of between two and seven mixed colonies. Fungi including Alternaria, Aspergillus, Botrytis, Cladosporium, Mortierella, Mucor, Mycelia sterilia, Penicillium, Pythium, Ulocladium, Verticillium, and some yeasts were isolated. Actinomyces, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and mostly coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species were identified, but the bulk of unidentified bacterial isolates were mainly mixed colonies of rods, cocci, coccobacilli, and some filamentous types. Six-hour agar settle-plate counts during sandstorms were 100 and 40% higher for bacteria and fungi, respectively, than without sandstorms. The most abundant aeroallergens were those of Acacia, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Bermuda grass, Cladosporium, cultivated rye, Prosopis, and cat dander. Pithecellobium dulce, Rumex crispus, and Washingtonia palm allergens were detectable for the first time in Riyadh. IgE reactivities of the dust in man were demonstrated by ELISA using sera from atopic, exposed, and normal subjects. These results indicate that sandstorm dust is a prolific source of potential triggers of allergic and nonallergic respiratory ailments, and the methods mentioned here should be routinely used for quick sampling of the environment.


  CO(2) Inhibits Respiration in Leaves of Rumex crispus L:Plant Physiol. 1992 Feb;98(2):757-760.Amthor JS, Koch GW, Bloom AJ.Department of Agronomy and Range Science, University of California, Davis, California 95616.

 Curly dock (Rumex crispus L.) was grown from seed in a glasshouse at an ambient CO(2) partial pressure of about 35 pascals. Apparent respiration rate (CO(2) efflux in the dark) of expanded leaves was then measured at ambient CO(2) partial pressure of 5 to 95 pascals. Calculated intercellular CO(2) partial pressure was proportional to ambient CO(2) partial pressure in these short-term experiments. The CO(2) level strongly affected apparent respiration rate: a doubling of the partial pressure of CO(2) typically inhibited respiration by 25 to 30%, whereas a decrease in CO(2) elicited a corresponding increase in respiration. These responses were readily reversible. A flexible, sensitive regulatory interaction between CO(2) (a byproduct of respiration) and some component(s) of heterotrophic metabolism is indicated.

  Fatal poisoning by Rumex crispus (curled dock): pathological findings and application of scanning electron microscopy.:Vet Hum Toxicol. 1990 Oct;32(5):468-70.Reig R, Sanz P, Blanche C, Fontarnau R, Dominguez A, Corbella J.Department of Public Health, School of Medicine, University of Barcelona, Spain.

 A case of fatal poisoning due to ingestion of the plant Rumex crispus (curled dock) is described. The patient, a 53-year-old male, presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, severe hypocalcemia, metabolic acidosis and acute hepatic insufficiency. Despite therapeutic measures, the patient died 72 h after ingestion of the plant material. Noteworthy among the pathological findings were centrolobular hepatic necrosis and birefringent crystals in the liver and kidneys that were identified by histochemical techniques and scanning electron microscopy. These observations are compared with other reports in the medical literature, with an emphasis on the risk involved in the use of these plants for culinary or medicinal purposes.

  Acute oxalate poisoning attributable to ingestion of curly dock (Rumex crispus) in sheep:J Am Vet Med Assoc. 1990 Jun 15;196(12):1981-4.Panciera RJ, Martin T, Burrows GE, Taylor DS, Rice LE.Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater 74078.

 Ten of 100 mature ewes were afflicted with acute oxalate toxicosis within 40 hours after being temporarily penned in a lot that contained considerable growing Rumex crispus (curly dock). Clinical signs of toxicosis included excess salivation, tremors, ataxia, and recumbency. Affected ewes were markedly hypocalcemic and azotemic. Oxalate crystals were not observed in urine. Gross postmortem lesions were minimal and nondiagnostic in 2 ewes that died peracutely, but perirenal edema and renal tubular degeneration were clearly observable in ewes euthanatized on the third day of toxicosis. Diagnosis of oxalate toxicosis was confirmed by histopathologic findings. Samples of Rumex spp contained 6.6 to 11.1% oxalic acid on a dry-weight basis, a concentration comparable with that in other oxalate-containing plants that have caused acute oxalate toxicosis.

  Prevention of Action of Far-Red-Absorbing Phytochrome in Rumex crispus L. Seeds by Ethanol:Plant Physiol. 1984 Feb;74(2):223-226.Taylorson RB.Weed Science Laboratory, Agricultural Environmental Quality Institute, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland 20705.

 Phytochrome-enhanced germination of curled dock (Rumex crispus L.) seeds is further stimulated by pretreatments in solutions of 0.5 to 2 molar methanol and 0.03 to >/= 0.3 molar 2-propanol during a 2-day 20 degrees C imbibition. Similar pretreatments in 0.1 molar ethanol, acetaldehyde, and n-propanol inhibit phytochrome-enhanced germination. If exposure to ethanol is delayed until 16 hours after a red irradiation, seeds escape the ethanol inhibition indicating a mechanism other than toxicity. The rate of escape from ethanol inhibition roughly parallels the escape from phytochrome control in seeds held in water only, indicating possible ethanol effects on phytochrome. It was found that ethanol pretreatment prevents the far-red absorbing form of phytochrome (Pfr) from acting but does not accelerate dark decay or prevent transformation. Ethanol inhibition may be prevented if ethanol pretreatment is at 10 degrees C instead of 20 degrees C, or may be overcome by transferring ethanol-pretreated seeds to 10 degrees C in water. Similarly, ethanol inhibition can be overcome by a 2-hour 40 degrees C temperature shift concluding the pretreatment. It is proposed that the ethanol causes perturbations at a membrane which prevent Pfr from acting.

  Phytochrome Transformation and Action in Seeds of Rumex crispus L. during Secondary Dormancy.:Plant Physiol. 1973 Nov;52(5):475-479.Taylorson RB, Hendricks SB.Agricultural Environmental Quality Institute, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland 20705.

 Promotion of germination by red light fails after prolonged dark imbibition of Rumex crispus L. seeds, indicative of a secondary dormancy. The degree and rate of inception of the dormancy increases with increasing temperature. Following establishment of the dormancy, germination response to red light can be restored by either prolonged cold treatment or brief high temperature shifts. Loss of phytochrome was not a factor in the initial establishment of the dormancy. When the seeds are in secondary dormancy, the chromophore of phytochrome can be transformed to the far red-absorbing form, but the far red-absorbing form cannot induce germination. The responses to changes in temperature suggested dependence of germination on order left arrow over right arrow disorder transitions in components of the seeds.


  Lectins in extracts of certain Polygonaceae seed precipitate animal and human serums.:Science. 1968 Jun 28;160(835):1462-3.Hanan EB, Spindler JW.

 Seeds of four species of Polygonaceae were tested for lectins that precipitate human and animal serums. Rumex crispus, Polygonum convolvulus, and Polygonum pennsylvanicum developed specific precipitate bands on double diffusion on agar gel plates. These bands were enhanced and increased in number when extracts were tested against serums from patients with certain diseases. When tested against lyophilized serum, no precipitate bands developed. The active substance cannot be dialyzed through cellulose membrane against running tap water for 16 hours, and it is heat stable. Extracts from Fagopyrum esculentum developed no precipitate bands.

  Isolation and characterisation of procyanidins from Rumex obtusifolius.:Phytochem Anal. 2007 May-Jun;18(3):193-203.Spencer P, Sivakumaran S, Fraser K, Foo LY, Lane GA, Edwards PJ, Meagher LP.Food and Health, AgResearch Ltd., Grasslands Research Centre, PB11008, Palmerston North, New Zealand.

 An acetone:water (7:3) extract obtained from the leaves of Rumex obtusifolius was fractionated into procyanidin oligomer and polymer fractions using a linear gradient and a simple step method on Sephadex LH-20. The chemical characteristics of the procyanidin fractions were studied by 13C-NMR spectroscopy, acid-catalysed degradation in the presence of benzyl mercaptan, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) MS and electrospray ionisation (ESI) MS. The 13C-NMR showed that the polymer fraction consisted predominantly of procyanidin polymers, some with galloyl groups attached. The thiolysis reaction products indicated a mean degree of polymerisation (DP) of 4.3 for the step method, and a range of 2.3-8.2 mean DP for the gradient fractionation, with epicatechin as the most abundant flavan-3-ol extension unit, while the terminal units consisted of equal proportions of catechin, epicatechin and epicatechin gallate. Singly charged ions observed in MALDI-TOF/MS showed a range of oligomeric procyanidins and their polygalloyl derivatives. These species (in the range DP 2-7) were also observed by ESI/MS but the spectra were more complex due to overlapping multiply charged ions. Isolation of oligomers from the Sephadex LH-20 fraction by chromatography on polyamide and C18 yielded B1, B2, B3 and B7 dimers, an A-type trimer and a B2 3,3'-O-digallate.

  Studies on chemical constituents in roots of Rumex dentatus:Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi. 2006 Oct;31(20):1691-3. Chinese.Zhu JJ, Zhang CF, Zhang M, Wang ZT.Department of Pharmacognosy, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing 210038, China.

 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the active constituents from Rumex dentatus. METHOD: Compounds were isolated by silica gel, Sephadex LH -20 and ODS column chromatography and identified by chemical and spectroscopic methods. RESULT: Ten compounds were obtained and identified as helonioside A (1), gallic acid (2), isovanillic acid (3), p-hydroxycinnamic acid (4), succinic acid (5), n-butyl-beta-D-fructopyranoside (6), quercetin (7), hexadecanoic acid 2, 3-dihydroxy propyl ester (8), beta-sitosterol (9) and daucosterol (10). CONCLUSION: Compounds 1, 3-6 and 8 were isolated from the genus of Rumex for the first time.

  Antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Rumex Chinensis. Aerial parts.:Biol Pharm Bull. 2005 Dec;28(12):2225-30.

 We evaluated total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, reducing power and antibacterial activity of ethanol, hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts of aerial parts of Rumex Chinensis. The ethyl acetate extract had the highest amount of phenolic compounds. It also exhibited the highest reducing power and antioxidant activity when assayed by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), beta-carotene bleaching and superoxide radical methods. The ethyl acetate extract possessed the strongest antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus and E. coli. GC-MS analysis indicated that ethyl acetate extract contained a variety of phenolic compounds. HPLC analysis showed that pyrogallol was the predominant phenolic compound in this extract. Thus, our study verified that the ethyl acetate extract has strong antioxidant and antibacterial activities which are correlated with its high level of phenolic compounds, particularly pyrogallol and pyrocatechin. This extract of R. japonicus aerial parts can be utilized as an effective and safe source of antioxidants.

  The possible mechanisms for the antifertility action of methanolic root extract of Rumex steudelii:Afr Health Sci. 2005 Jun;5(2):119-25.Gebrie E, Makonnen E, Zerihun L, Debella A.Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Addis Ababa University, P. O. Box 9086, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

 BACKGROUND: The practice of traditional medicine for the control of fertility in most parts of Ethiopia is based on the uses of plant medicines for many years. Rumex steudelii Hochst (Polygonaceae), locally known as "Tult" or "Yeberemelas" is one of the traditionally used antifertility plants in Ethiopia. In our previous study, the methanolic extract of R. steudelii root was found to show antifertility activity in female rats. OBJECTIVES: The present study focused further on the possible mechanisms of the antifertility effect of the methanolic extract of R. steudelii. METHODS: The effect of the extract on implantation, the uterus weight of immature ovariectomized rats and serum estrogen-progesterone ratio was evaluated. Its effect on isolated guinea pig uterus in the presence and absence of uterine muscle contractions inhibitors was also assessed. Test for in vivo abortifacient effect was also carried out. RESULTS: It was found that the extract decreased the number of implantation sites significantly. At a contraceptive dose, it was also observed to have no estrogenic activity in immature rat bioassay. The extract did not affect the serum estrogen-progesterone ratio. It produced concentration dependent increase in uterine muscle contractions similar to those of the standard drug, oxytocin. Incubation of the tissue with three uterine muscle contractions inhibitors revealed that the extract produced uterine contractions perhaps by activating muscarinic and/or histaminic receptors. The in vivo abortifacient effect was not seen upon administration of both lower and higher doses of the extract in pregnant rats. CONCLUSION: All these observations suggest that the extract produced antifertility effect mainly by inhibiting implantation though antiestrogen, progesteron and uterotonic effects could as well be possible mechanisms.


  Study on the chemical constituents from Rumex japonicus Houtt.:Zhong Yao Cai. 2005 Feb;28(2):104-5. Chinese.Zhou X, Xuan L, Zhang S.Department of Chemistry, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211.

 OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents in dried roots of Rumex japonicus Houtt. METHODS: Isolation and purification of chemical constituents from Runmex japonicus Houtt. were conducted by solvent extraction and chromatography. Their structures were identified by spectrum analysis. RESULTS: Two compounds were isolated from the acrtone extract of the roots and identified as emodin and rutin. CONCLUSION: Compound II is obtained from this plant for the first time. The task provided evidence for the exploitation and utilization of this plant resources.

  In Vitro culture studies of FlorEssence on human tumor cell lines.:Phytother Res. 2005 Feb;19(2):107-12.Tai J, Cheung S.Center for Complementary Medicine Research, BC's Research Institute for Children's and Women's Health, Department of Pathology, University of British Columbia, Canada. jtai@interchange.ubc.ca

 FlorEssence (FE) is an herbal tea widely used by patients to treat chronic conditions in North America, particularly cancer patients during chemo- and radiation therapy. Although individual components of FE have antioxidant, antiestrogenic, immunostimulant and antitumor properties, in vitro evidence of anticancer activity for the herbal tea itself is still lacking. We studied the antiproliferative effect of FE on MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer, and Jurkat and K562 leukemia cell lines. We found that FE significantly inhibited the proliferation of both breast and leukemia cells in vitro only at high concentrations, with 50% inhibition of MDA-MB-468 cells at about 1[sol ]20 dilution, Jurkat cells at about 1[sol ]10 dilution and MCF7 and K562 cells at less than 1[sol ]10 dilution. Flow cytometry analysis showed that treatment with a high concentration of FE induced G2[sol ]M arrest in MCF7 and Jurkat cells, with also an increased SubG0[sol ]G1 fraction in MCF7 cells. MDA-MB-468 cells showed a significantly increased Sub G0[sol ]G1 fraction after treatment with 1[sol ]10 dilution of FE while the cell cycle of K562 was unaffected. When MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells were treated with a combination of FE with either paclitaxel or cisplatin, results showed that only the combination of 1[sol ]20 dilution of FE with 0.5 microM cisplatin resulted in a small but significantly higher MCF7 cell survival than 0.5 microM cisplatin treatment alone. FE at 1[sol ]20 and 1[sol ]50 dilutions did not affect the antiproliferative properties of these two commonly used chemotherapeutic agents. The results suggest that FE at high concentrations show differential inhibitory effect on different human cancer cell lines. Further studies are needed to assess the biological activities of FE.

  Evaluation of the anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activities of the medicinal plants Dodonaea viscosa, Rumex nervosus and Rumex abyssinicus:Fitoterapia. 2003 Feb;74(1-2):139-43.Getie M, Gebre-Mariam T, Rietz R, H?hne C, Huschka C, Schmidtke M, Abate A, Neubert RH.Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, Addis Ababa University, PO Box 1176, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

 The crude extracts of the leaves of Dodonaea viscosa and Rumex nervosus as well as of the root of Rumex abyssinicus were tested for anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activities. It was observed that the three plants possess antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus and strong activity against Coxsackie virus B3 and influenza A virus. In contrast, none of them exhibited anti-fungal activity. The anti-inflammatory activity test results verified that only R. abyssinicus inhibited the synthesis of prostaglandin (PG) E(2).

  Studies on chemical constituents in root of Rumex patientia L:Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi. 2001 Apr;26(4):256-8. Chinese. Yuan Y, Chen WS, Zheng SQ, Yang GJ, Zhang WD, Zhang HM.School of Pharmacy, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai 200433, China.

 OBJECTIVE: Investigating the chemical constituents in the root of Rumex patientia. METHOD: Compounds were separated by rechromatography on silica gel. Their structures were determined by spectral analysis and chemical evidence. RESULT: Eight compounds were isolated and identified as 5-methoxy-7-hydroxy-1 (3H)-benzofuranone (I), 5, 7-dihydroxy-1 (3H)-benzofuranone(II), nonadecanoic acid-2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester(III), torachrysone-8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(IV), gallic acid(V), beta-sitosterol(VI), beta-sitosterol-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(VII) and catechin(VIII). CONCLUSION: Compound III is a new natural products, and compounds I and II were obtained from this plant for the first time.
