“In agreement with our results, Stoilov et al. also found that compounds identified via HTS with a minigene reporter construct in HEK 293 cells were capable of specifically enhancing inclusion of exon 10 in endogenous transcripts of The most potent small molecules identified by our DMD exon skipping screen were podophyllotoxin tubulin modulators, and HDAC inhibitors TSA and scriptaid.”
“The researchers studied the effect of location, plant nutrient concentration, and phytoavailable nutrients in soil on podophyllotoxin concentration in American mayapple across its natural habitats in the eastern United States.”
“Previous research demonstrated that American mayapple leaves contain podophyllotoxin, making way for the development of American mayapple as a high-value crop for American growers.”
“According to Zheljazkov; "The objective of this study was to estimate podophyllotoxin concentration in American mayapple across its natural habitats in the eastern United States and to identify high podophyllotoxin types that could be used for further selection and cultivar development.”
“This groundbreaking study confirmed that mayapple colonies in the eastern part of the United States can be used for the development of high podophyllotoxin cultivars, which could subsequently provide the base for commercial production of podophyllotoxin in the United States.”
“Currently, podophyllotoxin is produced commercially using the roots and rhizomes of Indian mayapple, an endangered species harvested from the wild in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and China.”
