Have into have plate-like roots, leaves, spiral arrangement; petiole length 1-3cm; stipules spathelike, caducous; leaf blade thickly leathery, obovate elliptic or obovate, length 7-25cm, width 3-12cm, apex obtuse and short acuminate, base cuneate slightly decurrent, margin entire or cleft in 3 ( initiation branch or young branches leaves), dark green above, below bright, pale green, slightly rough. Flowers unisexual, dioecious; male inflorescences terminal or axillary, cylindrical, length 5-8cm, diameter 2.5cm, small parcel in stipules; male perianth 2 lobed, lobes obtuse, stamens 1; female inflorescences cylindrical or oblong, born in a trunk or limbs of spherical torus; female perianth tubular, six prism, style side students. Aggregate fruit oblong, elliptic or obovate, mature length 25-60cm, width 25-50cm, big weight of 20kg, yellow green, surface has a hexagonal tubercles, there are a lot of yellow fleshy perianth, carpopodium stout, long 5-10cm; achenes oblong, ca. 3cm, width 1.5-2cm. Florescence spring, summer, autumn, fr. summer.
[ ] habitat distribution
Ecological environment : in hot areas.
Resource distribution: Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan has cultivated.
Chemical composition containing starch [ ] 25%-40% [1 ], lectin ( lec-tin ) [2 ], the ring jackfruit ketene ( cycloartenone ) [3 ], outcrossing plant lectin ( isolec-tin ) [4 ].
Pharmacological action [ ]
Baltic seed phosphate buffer rent extraction liquid contained in plant lectins can stimulate the unseparated peripheral blood mononuclear cells and purified T cell proliferation, but no effect of purified B cells, with multivalent anti human Fab antibody, through reverse hemolytic plaque test method showed that the crude extract induction and purification of polyclonal B cells activity [1 ]. Further research discovers, jackfruit seed extract fluid of two lectins, one is a combination of galactose lectin, called jacalin; the two is a combination of mannose proteins, called artocarpin. Jacalin specificity to the serum IgA1; precipitation, not IgG or IgM precipitation; artocarpin can make mouse spleen cells and human peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation, causes the human and rat B cells to produce polyclonal activity, secretion of immunoglobulin [2, 3]. Jackfruit seeds in jacalin can induce apoptosis in cultured human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and human T lymphocytes produce interferon-gamma ( IFN gamma ), and Europe 's Crotonic ester derivatives of any can enhance the induction [4 ]. From the jackfruit seed also extracted a trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor, relative molecular mass is 44200, isoelectric point 4.5. The material consists of two polypeptide chains with two more keys are connected, and protease in 1: 1 combine to produce inhibition of row, it against trypsin and chymotrypsin site of action of different. In three trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid on the modified, the substance of trypsin inhibitory effect was weakened, and chymotrypsin inhibition unaffected [5 ].
Mice to oral jackfruit seed albumin extract (including lectin ), and subcutaneous injection of the extract with ovalbumin and auxiliary agent muramyl peptide two mixture, through passive cutaneous anaphylactic reaction and peritoneal mast cell degranulation reaction can be confirmed that the crude extract is hypoallergenic, containing lectin also a hypoallergenic, and can induce the generation of IgE. Repeated oral and subcutaneous injection, can increase the IgE reaction. IgE titer and the lectin purification degree is inversely proportional to [6 ].
