“…Barb., V. stocksii and V. hirundinaria species including antibacterial and antifungal [8], antidiarrheal, antispazmodic [9], antileishmanial, antimalarial [5], cytotoxic [10], antifeedant and growth inhibition [7] effects in the literature. Phytochemical investigations revealed the presence of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids [8,[10][11][12][13], steroidal glycosides [7,14,15], triterpenoids [15,16], flavonoids, saponins, phenolics [7,9], steroids [6,15], volatile compounds, acetophenone [6] and alkanols [15] in Vincetoxicum species. In these phytochemical constituents, phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids are characteristic secondary metabolites of some Asclepiadaceae and Moraceae genera including Cynanchum L., Vincetoxicum, Tylophora R.…”

“…Among the Vincetoxicum species, a few are known to impart biological effects (6). For example, V. rossicum (Kleopow) Barbar contains potent inhibitors of pathogenic fungi and bacteria (7). The n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions of V. stocksii Ali and Khatoon were seen to exhibit anti-leishmanial activity against Leishmania donovani promastigotes (8,9).…”

Background: Phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids have been isolated from many species of Vincetoxicum. These alkaloids show promising anti-cancer activity and are a current topic of interest. Objectives: The inhibition of cell viability by different extracts of V. pumilum was measured in vitro in HL-60 and K562 human leukemic cancer cell lines and in freshly-isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes as a normal cell line. Materials and Methods: Using resazurin staining, cell viability was measured. In addition, the presence of apoptotic cells was determined using propidium iodide (PI) staining of DNA fragments (sub-G1 peak). Employing western blot analysis, levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and PARP cleavage were measured. Results: The CH2Cl2 fraction of V. pumilum showed a potent dose-related inhibitory effect on cell viability. The CH2Cl2 fraction showed

“…Plants associating with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are typically more competitive and better able to tolerate environmental stresses than are non-mycorrhizal or poorly colonized plants (Biermann and Linderman 1983, Daniell et al 2001, Bianciotto and Bonfante 2002, Vandenkoornhuyse et al 2002, Bonfante 2003, Brundrett 2004, DeBellis and Widden 2006, Greipsson and DiTommaso 2006, Parniske 2008, Shah et al 2010. AMF are also known to provide protection from a variety of microbial pathogens to their host plants (Newsham et al 1994, Borowicz 2001, Klironomos 2002, Pozo and Azćon-Aguilar 2007, Van der Putten et al 2007, Appoloni et al 2008, Mogg et al 2008, Krüger et al 2009, Wehner et al 2009). …”

“…DSV has been shown to be more densely colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi than co-occurring native plants in Hen-derson Harbour, New York DiTommaso 2006, Smith et al 2008), and extracts of DSV tissue demonstrated antifungal activity against plant pathogenic yeast-like and filamentous fungi as well as broad-host-range plant pathogens such as Fusarium spp. (Mogg et al 2008).…”

Fungal communities forming associations with plant roots have generally been described as ranging from symbiotic to parasitic. Disruptions to these associations consequently can have significant impacts on native plant communities. We examined how invasion by Vincetoxicum rossicum, a plant native to Europe, can alter both the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, as well as the general fungal communities associating with native plant roots in both field and woodland sites in Southern Ontario. In two different sites in the Greater Toronto Area, we took advantage of invasion by V. rossicum and neighbouring uninvaded sites to investigate the fungal communities associating with local plant roots, including goldenrod (Solidago spp.), wild red raspberry (Rubus idaeus), Canada anemone (Anemone canadensis), meadow rue (Thalictrum dioicum), and wild ginger (Asarum canadense). Fungi colonizing roots were characterized with terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of amplified total fungal (TF) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) ribosomal fragments. We saw a significant effect of the presence of this invader on the diversity of TF phylotypes colonizing native plant roots, and a composition shift of both the TF and AMF community in native roots in both sites. In native communities invaded by V. rossicum, a significant increase in richness and colonization density of TF suggests that invaders such as V. rossicum may be able to influence the composition of soil fungi available to natives, possibly via mechanisms such as increased carbon provision or antibiosis attributable to unique root exudates.
