Magnolol is a Chinese herb that has potent antioxidant effects. This study evaluated the effect of magnolol in the treatment of severe injury using a two-hit model in Sprague-Dawley rats. Hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation was performed. Intra-abdominal sepsis was induced by cecal ligation
The endotoxin tolerance induced by sublethal hemorrhage (SLH) is associated with an initial surge of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha. Magnolol, a potent antioxidative herb, is hypothesized to suppress TNF-alpha production after SLH and to alter or attenuate subsequent endotoxin
Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) induces inflammation, which can cause severe secondary injury. Recent evidence has suggested that magnolol (MG) has a protective effect against ischaemic stroke through the inhibition of inflammation. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of MG in intracerebral
Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) isoforms (α, β/δ, and γ) is known to inhibit platelet aggregation. In the present study, we examined whether PPARs-mediated pathways contribute to the antiplatelet activity of magnolol, a compound purified from Magnolia officinalis.
Five antiplatelet agents have been isolated from Chinese herbs. Apigenin and magnolol are inhibitors of thromboxane synthesis, while osthole, protopine and norathyriol are inhibitiors of phosphoinositide breakdown. Thirty min after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of these drugs, tail bleeding
