An inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 activity of prostaglandin H2 synthase was isolated from aerial parts of Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb. (Celastraceae), an oriental folk medicine for rheumatoid arthritis by activity-guided column chromatographic methods. The COX inhibitor was identified as
Flowers of Celastrus paniculatus and whole plant of Tecomella undulata were extracted individually in absolute methanol. Using the hot water tail immersion test in mice and carrageenan induced pedal edema in rats, both extracts were tested for their oral analgesic and anti-inflammatory potentials.
Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb has been known as an ethnopharmacological medicinal plant for antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. Although various pharmacological studies of C. orbiculatus extract has been reported, an anti-inflammatory mechanism study of their
Two new sesquiterpene esters, 1beta,8beta-diacetoxyl-6alpha,9alpha-difuroyloxydihydro-beta-agarofuran (1) and 1beta-acetoxyl-2beta,6alpha,9alpha-trifuroyloxydihydro-beta-agarofuran (2), together with four known sesquiterpene esters (3-6), celastrol (7), and celaphanol A (8) were isolated from the
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) are two important bile acid (BA) receptors. As non-BAs drug template for GPBAR1, none of the natural oleanane-type triterpenes have been reported as FXR ligands, despite FXR and GPBAR1 having similar binding pockets for
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) transactivator of transcription (Tat) is an important viral factor in neuroinflammation. Hindsiipropane B, present in Celastrus hindsii, possesses various biological mechanisms including antiinflammatory activity. In this report, we explored the regulatory
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting 1-3% of the world's population. Traditional Chinese medicines have been extensively used for treating psoriasis with promising clinical results. Celastrol, a triterpenoid isolated from a Chinese herb Celastrus orbiculatus caulis, has been
OBJECTIVE
To screen the activated fraction from Celastrus aculeatus and study its effect on T lymphocyte apoptosis.
METHODS
Different polarity fractions were isolated from Celastrus aculeatus extract. Flow Cytometry method was used to detect apoptosis ratio of the active fractions.
RESULTS
Different
Complementary and alternative medicine products are increasingly being used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. However, the mechanisms of action of these agents are not fully defined. Using the rat adjuvant arthritis (AA) model of human rheumatoid arthritis, we determined whether the ethanol
The extract of Celastrus orbiculatus (COE) have been studied for anti-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) activity and anti-cancer effects in vitro and in vivo. However, the molecular mechanism by which COE inhibits H. pylori-induced inflammatory response has not been fully elucidated so Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb. (COT), a traditional Chinese herb, has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. In this study, we examined the protective effect of COT on the initiation of atherosclerosis induced by high fat diet and explored the underlying mechanisms. We established guinea pig
BACKGROUND
Jyotishmati, scientifically known as Celastrus paniculatus Wild (Celastraceae) is one of the most important medicinal plants in Ayurveda. The plant has shown significant pharmacological activities like anti-arthritic, wound healing, hypolipidemic, and antioxidant.
OBJECTIVE
To study
Celastrol, a triterpenoid isolated from stem (caulis) of Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb. (Celastraceae), has been known to have various pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant activities. However, the mechanism of the intestinal absorption of celastrol is
Celastrol, a quinone methide triterpenoid, was isolated as an inhibitor of NF-kappaB from Celastrus orbiculatus. This compound dose-dependently inhibited a variety of stimuli-induced NF-kappa B-regulated gene expression and the DNA-binding of NF-kappa B in different cell lines without affecting
Plants of genus Celastrus (Celastraceae) have been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Indian medicine to treat cognitive dysfunction, epilepsy, insomnia, rheumatism, gout, and dyspepsia for thousands of years.We critically summarized the
