“…The plant was identified by the author with reference to the study of Kashemsanta et al (27) and voucher herbarium specimen No. BCU 11045 (9). The tuberous roots were cleaned, sliced, dried in a hot-air oven at 70°C until completely dry and subsequently ground to a powder.…”

“…There are various in vivo methods to measure the estrogenic activity of phytoestrogens, including an uterotropic assay (5) and vaginal cornification assay in ovariectomized rats (6)(7)(8). The MCF-7 screening test based on in vitro proliferation of the human mammary adenocarcinoma estrogen receptor (ER) α + cell line is able to demonstrate the biphasic (proliferative effect at low dose and antiproliferative effect at high dose) estrogenic response of phytoestrogen-rich plant extracts (9,10). However, testing on animal models may not be practical for large-scale screening of the estrogenic activity of plant samples due to the cost and time-consuming procedures involved.…”

ABSTRACT:Pueraria mirifica or White Kwao Krua has been extensively studied for its estrogenic effects on reproductive organs and bones using rodents as experimental animals. Commercial rodent diets are usually formulated with soybean products and therefore deliver a high dose of isoflavone phytoestrogens. Using high performance liquid chromatography, we determined the quantities of five major isoflavones (puerarin, daidzin, genistin, daidzein, and genistein) in five lots of standard rodent diets, a soybean-free diet, and two lots of P. mirifica 'Wichai-III'. The concentrations of total isoflavones were 38.6-72.4 mg/100 g in the standard rodent diets, 6.1 mg/100 g in the soybean-free diet, and 123.2-157.3 mg/100 g in the P. mirifica. While absent in the rodent diets, puerarin accounted for about half of the isoflavone content in P. mirifica. The levels of genistein and genistin in P. mirifica were very low compared to the level found in the standard rodent diets. Given the same dose of 50 mg/kg BW/day of P. mirifica for 14 days, rats fed with standard rodent diet showed a significantly higher percentage of cornified cells than those fed with soybean-free diet. These findings suggest the potential presence of phytoestrogens in standard rodent diets and its liability to be a confounding factor in estrogenic or phytoestrogenic research.

“…Many studies have shown that P. candollei var. mirifica (synonym: Pueraria mirifica) possesses pharmacological activity (Chansakaow et al, 2000;Cherdshewasart et al, 2004;Trisomboon et al, 2004;Urasopon et al, 2007 (Bautista et al, 2010) and strains of several Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium species were isolated from the root nodules of P. candollei var. mirifica (Pongsilp et al, 2010).…”

Kitasato Institute for Life Sciences, Kitasato University, 5-9-1 Shirokane, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 108-8641, Japan A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, PC004 T , was isolated from root nodules of the Thai medicinal plant Pueraria candollei var. candollei. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strain is phylogenetically related to species in the genus Rhizobium, showing highest similarity (96.6 %) with Rhizobium mesosinicum HAMBI 3194 T . The phylogenetic tree reconstructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain PC004 T forms a cluster with Rhizobium petrolearium KCTC 23288 T . Based on atpD, gyrB and recA gene sequences, strain PC004 T also showed low similarity (,90 %) to reference strains. These phylogenetic data indicate that PC004 T may represent a novel species. Strain PC004 T also exhibited low DNA-DNA relatedness with R. mesosinicum HAMBI 3194 T (8.2 %) and R. petrolearium KCTC 23288 T (26.3 %). The DNA G+C content of strain PC004 T was 64 mol%, which is within the range reported for the genus Rhizobium. The major fatty acid of PC004 T was C 18 : 1 v7c with minor amounts of C 16 : 0 , C 16 : 0 3-OH, C 18 : 0 3-OH, C 18 : 1 2-OH, C 19 : 0 cyclo v8c and summed feature 2. The strain was able to grow at pH 12 and with up to 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain PC004 T did not nodulate five tested legumes and the nifH and nodC genes were not detected by PCR. Based on the physiological, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data from this study, strain PC004 T represents a novel species of the genus Rhizobium, for which the name Rhizobium puerariae sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is PC004 T (5BCC 73740 T 5NBRC 110722 T ).
