Traditional healers in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, utilize the bark of various Cryptocarya species (Lauraceae) as a substitute to the rare O. bullata. An investigation into the anti-inflammatoiy activity of bark extracts proved Cryptocarya species to be superior to O. bullata (32). As the COX-2 COX-l inhibition profile of C. woodii and C. wyliei extracts was remarkably good, the isolation of the active compounds in both species is underway (32). Such studies are vital in the conservation and optimal utilization of scarce resources and endangered species. [Pg.351]

Approximately 700 kms to the north east of Algoa Bay, on the warm subtropical coast of South Africa off southern Kwazulu-Natal, lies an extensive offshore reef system (the Aliwal Shoal) rich in marine invertebrate life. A three-year collaborative research program (1994-1996) between Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), Rhodes University (RU) and SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals (SKB) was initiated with a collection of approximately ninety marine invertebrates... [Pg.76]

One of the invertebrates collected during the 1994 SIO-RU-SKB collaborative marine invertebrate collection from the Aliwal Shoal off southern Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa was the ascidian Lissoclinum sp.. Bioassay guided fractionation of a methanol extract of this ascidian yielded a novel interleukin-8 inhibitor, lissoclin disulfoxide (88) [84], Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a promoter of neutrophil aggregation and activation, is implicated in a wide range of inflammatory disorders e.g. psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis [85]. In addition to its potent inhibition of both IL-8 Roc and IL-8 R(3 (IC50 = 0.6 and 0.82 pM respectively) 88 also exhibited activity against the protein kinase C enzyme (IC50 = 1.54 pM) [84]. [Pg.87]

As part of their ongoing investigation of bioactive natural products from tropical marine invertebrates collected in Sodwana Bay (situated in northern Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa), Kashman and co-workers isolated three novel alkaloids, polycitone A (89) and polycitrins A and B (90 and 91) from an ascidian Polycitor sp. [86]. The structure of 89 was established from X-ray data while the structures of 90 and its mono-O-methyl ether analogue, 91, followed from analysis of the NMR data of these two compounds. Two possible biosynthetic precursors of 89-91,... [Pg.87]

Of the soft corals present on the coral reefs of Kwazulu-Natal and southern Mozambique, three genera, Sinularia, Sarcophyton and Lobophytum predominate [90], Two soft corals, Sinularia dura (Family Alcyoniidae) and a Nephthea sp. (Family Nephtheidae) collected in Sodwana Bay yielded four tetraprenyl-toluquinols (116 - 119) [104]. The... [Pg.94]

About 22% of the arable land in commercial agriculture is high potential land, 90% of which is found in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga (Meyer, 1998). Medium potential arable land accounts for 29% of the total arable land, 75% of which is found in the Western Cape, Free State, Limpopo and North West (Fenyes and Meyer, 2003/ Only I. I % of the total surface of South Africa can be irrigated. However, almost three-quarters of this potential area, which is found in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape consists of deep valleys which are uneconomic to develop. [Pg.175]
