Anaplasma phagocytophilumはマダニが媒介するリケッチアである.人及び動物の顆粒球性エーリキア症の原因菌として知られている.海外渡航歴のないシーズー,避妊雌,3歳齢がマダニ刺咬後1週間後に元気食欲の低下と発熱を呈し,血液検査では血小板減少,軽度の好中球減少,肝酵素及びCRPの上昇を認めた.血清A. phagocytophilum抗体が弱陽性を示し,EDTA全血のPCR検査にてA. phagocytophilumが陽性を示したことから,A. phagocytophilum感染症と診断した.ドキシサイクリンによる治療を開始したところ,明らかな臨床症状の改善と,血小板数及び好中球数の顕著な増加を認めた.本例は犬における本邦初のA. phagocytophilum感染症の報告である.

Rose breeders have failed to make blue roses. This has been attributed to the lack of blue pigment in the petals. We revealed that mauve rose such as "M'me.Violet" and "Lavande" contain a small amount of blue pigment other than a red anthocyanin, cyanidin 3,5-diglucoside. The major blue pigment of the rose named Rosacyanin A and the minor red one was named Rosacyanin B. The structures of these pigments were elucidated. A high-resolution mass spectrometry showed that Rosacyanin B had the molecular weight of 419.0409 and molecular formula of C_<22>H_<11>O_9. The NMR data showed that Rosacyanin B had an extremely unique structure whose C-1 position of gallic acid is bound to the C-4 position of cyanidin by C-C bond formation. (Fig.2) Rosacyanin A has λ max 590nm (MeOH) of the ultraviolet and visible absorption spectrum, and a molecular formula of C_<56>H_<37>O_<31> which is calculated from the molecular weight of 1205.1319 obtained from high-resolution mass spectrometry. As a result of the observation of the isotope shift by the DH exchange of the solvent using a coaxial sample tube in ^<13>C NMR, it was found that the 3-position of flavylium of Rosacyanin B is bonded to the hexahydroxydiphenoyl part of Tellimagrandin II which is a kind of ellagitannin with ether linkage. (Fig.4) To our knowledge, this is the first report of the compound whose gallic acid binds to C-4 position of polyhydroxyflavylium. The only similar compound which binds gallic acid to catechin was obtained from Burkea africana and Peltophorum africanum. The dream of blue roses will come true if we can accumulate Rosacyanin A in rose petals.

Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea, which has been manufactured from leaves of Camellia sinensis (L) O. Kuntze, same as non-fermented Japanese or Chinese green teas. Major components of fresh tea leaves are caffeine and catechins such as epigallocatechin-3-O-gallete (EGCG). During the fermentation process, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in tea leaves oxidizes the catechins into theasinensin and oolongtheanin. In addition, oolonghomobisflavans are known as condensation products of catechins by heat treatment. The aim of this study is to quantify these minor polymerized polyphenols by LC-MS/MS, and address their biological activities. Quantification of polyphenols by LC-MS/MS Theasinensin (TSN), oolongtheanin gallate (OTNG), and oolonghomobisflavan (OHBF) were synthesized from EGCG. Two new trimers and tetramers of oolonghomobisflavan were synthesized along the previous synthesis method of OHBF, and then their structures were determined by MS and NMR spectroscopy. Quantification of these compounds was performed by LC-MS/MS in the mode of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Compounds other than TSN-A were of small quantities in oolong tea leaves. Quantification of polymerized polyphenols was not performed with HPLC UV monitoring, but by LC-MS/MS method. Nine kinds of oolong teas in different fermentation levels were extracted and analyzed. The very small amount of trimers and tetramers of OHBF were included in "Black oolong tea", therefore, it was necessary to make concentrated solutions of these by column separation, and quantified the real amount by analyzing them. Biological activities of polymerized polyphenols Pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of oolong tea polymerized polyphenols (OTPP) and some catechin dimmers have been already reported. In this study, new trimers and tetramers also exhibited strong inhibitory activity. Besides OTPP, the polymerized polyphenols, TSN, OTNG, and OHBF also have α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. These results suggest that oolong tea prevents the elevations of triglyceride in blood from meal fat, as well as inhibit the absorption of sugars derived from carbohydrates.
