Inflammation occurs in a cascade reaction to cause damage in the tissues. It involves increased expression of oxidants and cytokines in the injured tissues. Peptides are chosen for the development of alternate and more selective anti-inflammatory therapies. They are highly specific and significant
Four new cyclopeptides, cyclomontanins A-D (1- 4), annomuricatin C (5), and (+)-corytuberine were isolated from a methanol extract of Annona montana seeds. Their structures were elucidated by 2D NMR analysis, ESIMS/MS fragment evidence, and chemical means. The structure of 1 was confirmed by
Ziziyphus nummularia (family: Rhamnaceae) is a thorny small bush, grows in abundance in the grazing lands of the arid areas of Rajasthan, India. It is an important ethnomedicinal plant of the Thar Desert; local inhabitants use every part of the plant as medicine. Kernels are prescribed in pregnancy
Two new cyclic peptides, fanlizhicyclopeptide A, cyclo(Pro(1)-Pro(2)-Tyr(3)-Leu(4)-Pro(5)-Gly(6)-Val(7)) (1), and fanlizhicyclopeptide B, cyclo(Pro(1)-Ile(2)-Tyr(3)-Ala(4)-Gly(5)) (2), were isolated along with six known kaurane diterpenoids and a known clovane sesquiterpene from the exocarps of
Three new cyclic peptides including a cyclic tetrapeptide (1), an aspochracin-type cyclic tripeptide sclerotiotide L (2) and a diketopiperazine dimer (3), have been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of a marine sponge-derived fungus Aspergillus violaceofuscus. The structures of all compounds
Facilitating T-cell apoptosis is implicated as an effective therapeutic strategy for treatment of T cell-mediated disease, including inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we report that astin C, a plant cyclopeptide isolated from the roots of Aster tataricus (Compositae), induced apoptosis of activated
An immunosuppressant agent with negligible or acceptable toxicity may provide a better therapeutic strategy for treatment of allergic contact dermatitis. We identified a natural cyclopeptide, roseotoxin B, that effectively suppressed cell proliferation and the production of proinflammatory cytokines
BACKGROUND
The role of tachykinins, such as substance P and neurokinin A, in the development or maintenance of thermal hyperesthesia during inflammation is unclear. In the current study, the authors examined the role of NK1 and NK2 receptors on the thermal hyperesthesia evoked by injection of
One new 14-membered ring cyclopeptide alkaloid, plenane A (1), along with six known compounds (2-7), was isolated from the roots of Clematis florida. Their structures were elucidated by means of NMR spectroscopic analysis and mass spectrometry. In addition, their anti-
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an abrupt loss of kidney function and severe AKI needs renal replacement therapeutic strategy and has high mortality. RA-XII is a natural cyclopeptide, isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Rubia yunnanensis, exerting anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities.
Rubiaceae-type cyclopeptides (RAs) are a type of plant cyclopeptides from the Rubia that have garnered significant attention owing to their unique bicyclic structures and amazing antitumour activities. Our recent work has shown that RAs suppress inflammation and angiogenesis and induce apoptosis.
Liver cancer is a progressive, irreversible and aggressive malignant disease, which has no effective chemotherapeutic drugs. RA-XII, a natural cyclopeptide isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Rubia yunnanensis, exerts anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities. This work aimed to
cGAS-STING signaling is essential for innate immunity. Its misregulation promotes cancer or autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, and it is imperative to identify effective lead compounds that specifically downregulate the pathway. We report here that astin C, a cyclopeptide isolated from the
We report the parallel synthesis of two natural cyclopeptides, isolated from the seeds of Annona squamosa, cyclosquamosin D (A1), and Met-cherimolacyclopeptide B (B) and their analogs. All of the compounds were screened for anti-inflammatory activity by evaluating their inhibitory effects on the
Calotropis procera is a medicinal plant whose pharmacological properties are associated with its latex. Here, the Calotropis procera latex fractions were investigated in an attempt to trace its phytochemical profile and measure its anti-inflammatory and toxicity activity. The crude latex was
