In vitro findings suggest that PDGF exerts diverse effects on odontoblastic differentiation depending on its dimeric form, which explains, at least in part, the in vivo action of PDGF in dentinogenesis during the repair process of damaged dental pulp.

The search for new 3-hydroxyfusicoccins structurally related to cotylenin A from a culture of Phomopsis amygdali Niigata 2-A resulted in the isolation of novel 3-Hydroxy fusic Occins R and S and the fusICoccin S aglycon, and the structure of phomopsiol was identified as that of O-demethyl-3-epicotylanol based on spectrosc

16-O-Demethyl fusicoccin J and its 3-epimer showed only low germination-stimulating activity toward lettuce seeds in the presence of abscisic acid (20 μM), the latter being slightly more active than the former.
Transformation of fusicocca-2,10(14)-dien-8β-ol into fusicoccin J by the fusicoccin-producing fungus, Phomopsis (Fusicoccum) amygdali. Support for the intermediacy of fusicocca-2,10(14)-diene in the…
