Inflammation is part of the non-specific immune response that occurs in reaction to any type of bodily injury. In some disorders the inflammatory process, which under normal conditions is self-limiting, becomes continuous and chronic inflammatory diseases develop subsequently including
A phytochemical investigation on the chloroform extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima roots led to the isolation of ten known furanocassane diterpenoids, vouacapen-5α-ol (1), 8,9,11,14-didehydrovouacapen-5α-ol (2), 6β-cinnamoyl-7β-hydroxyvouacapen-5α-ol (3), pulcherrin A (4), pulcherrin B (5),
BACKGROUND
Seeds of Caesalpinia minax Hance called 'Ku-Shi-Lian' (KSL) in China have been used as Zhuang or Dai folk medicines for treatment of common cold, fever, rheumatoid arthritis and dysentery for hundred years.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate therapeutic efficacy of KSL extract
BACKGROUND
Amyloidosis, oxidative stress and inflammation have been strongly implicated in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Traditionally, Caesalpinia crista and Centella asiatica leaf extracts are used to treat brain related diseases in India. C. crista is used as a mental
Sappanchalcone, a bioactive flavonoid isolated from the heartwood of Caesalpinia sappan L. possesses anti-inflammatory effects. We studied the efficacy of sappanchalcone in attenuating collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis. Sappanchalcone was purified to
BACKGROUND
Brazilin is a major active principle of Caesalpinia sappan L. (Leguminosae or Fabaceae). For industry aspects, brazilin-rich extract (BRE) has been prepared and standardized to contain 39% w/w brazilin. BRE may have more advantages than brazilin in term of a lower-cost production
BACKGROUND
Sappanone A (SA) is isolated from the heartwood of Caesalpinia sappan and exerts a wide range of pharmacological activities. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects of SA on allergic asthma in a murine model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma.
METHODS
BALB/c mice were
Mastitis, which commonly occurs during the postpartum period, is caused by the infection of the mammary glands. The most common infectious bacterial pathogen of mastitis is Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in both human and animals. Brazilin, a compound isolated from the traditional herbal medicine
Brazilein isolated from Caesalpinia sappan was evaluated for neuroprotection against transient focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats. The results showed that administration of brazilein after the onset of cerebral ischemia reperfusion can reduce the brain infarction area and improve the
UNASSIGNED
Protosappanin A (PrA) is an effective and major ingredient of Caesalpinia sappan L. The current study was aimed to explore the effect of PrA on atherosclerosis (AS).
UNASSIGNED
Firstly, the experimental model of AS was established in rabbits by two-month feeding of high fat diet. Then,
3-Deoxysappanchalcone (3-DSC), isolated from Caesalpinia sappan (Leguminosae), is a chalcone that exerts a variety of pharmacological activities. In the present study, we demonstrated that 3-DSC exerts anti-inflammatory activity in murine macrophages by inducing heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression at
Influenza virus is one of the most important causes of acute respiratory disease. Viral infection and viral replication activate multiple cell signalling pathways. Apoptosis of infected cells and immune response against viral replication, which are generally considered to be protective mechanisms,
Four homoisoflavanones of the 3-benzylidene-4-chromanone type, some of which were previously isolated from Caesalpinia pulcherrima, were synthesised to determine their anti-inflammatory activity and cytotoxicity. A range of four different homoisoflavanones (compounds 4a-4d) were synthesised from the
Oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators were measured in the plasma and livers of C57BL/6 mice fed a high-cholesterol diet for 14 weeks and in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Some of the mice fed with the atherogenic diet received drinking water supplemented with 0.01 g
BACKGROUND
Caesalpinia paraguariensis (D. Parodi) Burkart stem bark infusion (CPBI) is traditionally used in Argentina because their "vulnerary" properties.
OBJECTIVE
CPBI was studied throughout bio-guided purification procedures conducted by in vitro biological assays in order to isolate the main
