A salt tolerant plant, Corydalis heterocarpa has been used as a folk medicine to treat travail and spasm. Recent studies have also reported antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities of compounds isolated from C. heterocarpa. In this study, the protective effect of (2'S)-columbianetin isolated from
In the present study, we extracted Corydalis heterocarpa with various solvents in order to find the bioactive constituents that demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects. We isolated the active compound, Columbianetin. Anti-inflammatory effect of Columbianetin has been reported but the precise effects
OBJECTIVE
The (2'S,7'S)-O-(2-methylbutanoyl)-columbianetin (OMC) is a novel secondary metabolite extracted from Corydalis heterocarpa, which has long been used as a folk medicine for various inflammatory diseases in Korea. We examined the effect of OMC on allergic rhinitis (AR).
METHODS
We assessed
We investigated anti-inflammatory effects of two coumarins, columbianetin (A) and libanoridin (B), isolated from Corydalis heterocarpa in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated HT-29 human colon carcinoma cells. Treatment with compound B inhibited the protein expression levels of inflammatory mediators
Two new coumarins, 1 and 2, along with four known coumarins (3-6) have been isolated from Corydalis heterocarpa. On the basis of spectroscopic and chemical methods, compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated as (2'S,7'S)-O-2-methylbutanoyl-columbianetin and (2'S)-columbianetin-3'-sulfate, respectively. The
