“…In contrast, after biological treatment, the leachate was found to be toxic only for A. cepa. The reason for this variable response on the tested species could be attributed to inherent differences between the species, such as tissue permeability, differential uptake and metabolism (Cutillo et al 2003).…”

In the present study, leachate toxicity of a municipal solid waste landfill located in the Sinos River Valley region (southern Brazil) was evaluated using plant bioassays. Leachate toxicity was assessed by analysis of seed germination and root elongation of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and rocket plant (Eruca sativa Mill.) and root elongation of onions (Allium cepa L.). Bioassays were performed by exposing the seeds of L. sativa and E. sativa and the roots of A. cepa to raw leachate, treated leachate (biological treatment) and negative control (tap water). The levels of metals detected in both samples of leachate were low, and raw leachate showed high values for ammoniacal nitrogen and total Kjeldahl nitrogen. There is a reduction in the values of several physicochemical parameters, which demonstrates the efficiency of the treatment. Both L. sativa and A. cepa showed a phytotoxic response to landfill leachate, showing reduced root elongation. However, the responses of these two plant species were different. Root elongation was significantly lower in A. cepa exposed to treated leachate, when compared to negative control, but did not show any difference when compared to raw leachate. In L. sativa, seeds exposed to the raw leachate showed significant reduction in root elongation, when compared to treated leachate and negative control. Seed germination showed no difference across the treatments. The results of the study show that plant species respond differently and that municipal solid waste landfill leachate show phytotoxicity, even after biological treatment.

“…Clovamide-type phenylpropenoic acid amides are phytochemicals belonging to a group of phenylpropenoic acid amides found in plants such as Lycium spp., Capsicum spp., Cannabis spp., and Theobroma cacao (Yamamoto et al, 1991;Schmidt et al, 1996;Back et al, 2001;Alemanno et al, 2003;Cutillo et al, 2003;Wu et al, 2003). Clovamide-type phenylpropenoic acid amides were originally discovered as phytoalexins accumulating in response to wounding and pathogen attacks (Yamamoto et al, 1991;Cutillo et al, 2003;Wu et al, 2003).…”

In our laboratory, clovamide-type phenylpropenoic acid amides found in Theobroma cacao have been studied to determine their effects on platelet functions, because the consumption of cocoa-derived products has been suggested to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases, but little is known about the effects of the clovamide-type phenylpropenoic acid amides on the diseases (Rein et al, 2000;Visioli et al, 2000;Park, 2005).…”

N-Coumaroyldopamine and N-caffeoyldopamine are clovamide-type phenylpropenoic acid amides found in Theobroma cacao. In this article, N-coumaroyldopamine and N-caffeoyldopamine were investigated to determine their effects on P-selectin expression and platelet-leukocyte interactions in vitro and in vivo models. At the concentration of 0.05 M, they were able to inhibit P-selectin expression on the platelets by 33 (P Ͻ 0.011) and 30% (P Ͻ 0.012), respectively. The inhibition was partially blocked by ␤ 2 -adrenoceptor antagonists, suggesting that ␤ 2 receptors are probably engaged in the inhibition. NCaffeoyldopamine and N-coumaroyldopamine could also suppress platelet-leukocyte interactions in blood samples by 36 (P Ͻ 0.013) and 32% (P Ͻ 0.011), respectively, at the same concentration (0.05 M). In an animal study, mice administrated orally with N-caffeoyldopamine (50 and 100 g/35 g of body weight) also showed great reduction in the P-selectin expression and platelet-leukocyte interactions by 31 to 45% (P Ͻ 0.011) and 34 to 43% (P Ͻ 0.014), respectively. These data suggest that the clovamide-type phenylpropenoic acid amides are able to suppress platelet-leukocyte interactions via inhibiting P-selectin expression.
