Abstract

As sources of inspiration for Nicolas Poussin’s Apollo and Daphne, I have raised passages from Leone Ebreo’s Dialogues of Love. The main idea of this work is to foreground the contrast between Apollo, who emits a heat ray, and Daphne, the moisture that escapes in the form of vapor. The anachronic superimposition of Apollo’s passionate gaze on the path of Cupid’s lead arrow suggests the narrative content of Apollo’s pursuit of Daphne and Daphne’s refusal of Apollo, while at the same time evoking the naturalistic theme of Daphne, the vapor that escapes from the heat. In that Apollo and Daphne visualizes the mechanism of the ascent of water vapor, it can be said to contrast with Orion, which visualizes the mechanism of the descent of water vapor.

Abstract

Daphne genkwa (Thymelaeaceae) has been used as a folk medicine in China. We investigated the effects of D. genkwa and Jyu-So-To on various pharmacologic models in mice including the azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt focus formation assay, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity assay, and two types of mouse ear swelling model. Administration of 236.3 ppm of Jyu-So-To in drinking water significantly suppressed AOM-induced colonic aberrant crypt focus formation (p < 0.05), with an inhibitory ratio of 46.7%. The effects of several extracts with organic solvents of D. genkwa on murine epidermal ODC activity were examined. In particular, the inhibitory ratio of the n-hexane extract was 30.8%. In the 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced ear edema model in mice, the methanol extract resulted in 56.3% inhibition compared with the control. On the other hand, there are two peaks of responses at 1 h (immediate-phase reaction; IPR) and 24 h (late-phase reaction) in biphasic cutaneous reactions, which are enhanced in the dinitrofluorobenzene model (DNFB). The water extract of D. genkwa clearly inhibited the IPR ear swelling. These results suggest that D. genkwa and Jyu-So-To should be a promising source of antitumor, antiinflammatory, and antiallergy agents.
