Potential antimutagenic activity of berberine, a constituent of Mahonia aquifolium

BACKGROUND: As part of a study aimed at developing new pharmaceutical products from natural resources, the purpose of this research was twofold: (1) to fractionate crude extracts from the bark of Mahonia aquifolium and (2) to evaluate the strength of the antimutagenic activity of the separate components against one of the common direct-acting chemical mutagens. METHODS: The antimutagenic potency was evaluated against acridine orange (AO) by using Euglena gracilis as an eukaryotic test model, based on the ability of the test compound/fraction to prevent the mutagen-induced damage of chloroplast DNA. RESULTS: It was found that the antimutagenicity of the crude Mahonia extract resides in both bis-benzylisoquinoline (BBI) and protoberberine alkaloid fractions but only the protoberberine derivatives, jatrorrhizine and berberine, showed significant concentration-dependent inhibitory effect against the AO-induced chloroplast mutagenesis of E. gracilis. Especially berberine elicited, at a very low dose, remarkable suppression of the AO-induced mutagenicity, its antimutagenic potency being almost three orders of magnitude higher when compared to its close analogue, jatrorrhizine. Possible mechanisms of the antimutagenic action are discussed in terms of recent literature data. While the potent antimutagenic activity of the protoberberines most likely results from the inhibition of DNA topoisomerase I, the actual mechanism(s) for the BBI alkaloids is hard to be identified. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the results indicate that berberine possesses promising antimutagenic/anticarcinogenic potential that is worth to be investigated further

Unfair advertising

The subject of my doctoral thesis is the analysis of the judicial treatment of unfair advertising. The aim of the thesis is to offer a systematic outlook on the legal environment of advertising from a private and a public law perspective. The legal definition of advertising is given in the Advertising Regulation Act, which can be regarded as the most important public act governing unfair advertising and in the Act on the Operation of Radio and Television Broadcasting, which regulates advertising in television, radio and internet broadcasting. All these definitions belong to the public law area. On the other hand, the definition of unfairness can be found in a private law act, namely in the Commercial Code (Act No.513/1991 Coll.). The unfairness of competition (indirectly of unfair advertising as well) is defined with a general clause against unfair competition. As a result of these definitions, unfair advertising could be understood as the activity, which fulfils the legal definition of advertising and at the same time fulfils the general clause against unfair competition. The thesis consists of three extensive chapters. The first chapter describes the history of unfair advertising and the current legal regulation of this subject from an international, a European and a national perspective. This..

Various Versions of Managerial Income Statement

The aim of this paper is to present a spectrum of approaches to managerial income statement assembling. In the preface, we explain the managerial income statement concept. We define it as a report processed for the needs of inter-business management, which intermediates various views on business results. In the next part, we devote to three basic approaches to managerial income statement structures recommended by the foreign literature. The first approach compares managerial income statement made up on the absorption calculation and on the variable calculation basis and different resulting effects on the trading income. The second approach presents the managerial income statement construction prepared for the budgeting needs and the needs to calculate the activity (sales volume) and consumption variances. In the third part, we describe managerial report structured according to the selected segments. At the end, we compare the already mentioned foreign authors' approaches with the managerial report made up in the majority of Slovak companies, and we describe its disadvantages in contrast to the Anglo-American approach.Manažérska výsledovka, Managerial Income Statement, Variantný rozpočet, Flexible Budget, Kalkulácia neúplných nákladov, Variable costing
