BACKGROUND
1,7-Dihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxyxanthone (XAN) is an antirheumatic agent isolated from traditional Chinese medicine Securidaca inappendiculata Hassk. This study was designed to investigate its anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory activities on rheumatoid arthritis derived fibroblast-like
Securidaca inappendiculata Hassk. is a traditional Chinese anti-rheumatic herbal medicine native to southern China. In this study, we identified a possible TLR4 inhibitor from this plant. General effects of its xanthone-rich fraction (XRF) on inflammation in vitro were investigated by immunoblotting
BACKGROUND
Securidaca inappendiculata Hassk. is an traditional Chinese medicine curing rheumatoid arthritis, but there is a lack of reports on material base research.
OBJECTIVE
To find the active fraction of S. inappendiculata contributing the most to antirheumatic activity.
METHODS
Prior to assays
The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant activities of the root bark extract of Securidaca longepedunculata. This plant material is commonly used in folk medicine in several parts in the world. The bark extracts of S. longepedunculata were evaluated for their total phenols,
The present study was undertaken to investigate the analgesic, anti-inflammatory and hypoglycaemic properties of Securidaca longepedunculata (Fresen.) root-bark aqueous extract (SLE) in mice and rats. The analgesic effect of SLE was evaluated by 'hot-plate' and 'acetic acid' analgesic test methods
Securidaca inappendiculata Hassk. (SI) is a medicinal plant used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in South China. A substantial amount of fatty oil was isolated from SI (SIF), however little knowledge about its chemical composition and medicinal potentials was obtained. In this study, we analyzed
It is recognized that macrophages in peripheral tissues often proliferate under pathological conditions such as tumors, inflammation and atherosclerosis. Because the growth state of macrophages is believed to be a factor regulating the pathological process of the diseases, substances that regulate
We report the discovery of securiosides A (1) and B (2), novel acylated triterpene bisdesmosides, isolated from the roots of Securidaca inappendiculata. Securiosides A and B showed potent selective cytotoxic activity against M-CSF-stimulated macrophages and were suggested to have potential as new
BACKGROUND
Securidaca longipedunculata Fresen (Polygalaceae) is a multi-purpose plant with a long history of use in African traditional medicine to treat various sexually transmitted infections, hernias, coughs, fever, ascariasis, constipation, headaches, rheumatism, stomach ache, malaria,
Securidaca inappendiculata is a xanthone rich medicinal plant that has been used in the treatment of inflammation and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for centuries; however, the material base and mechanism of action responsible for its anti-arthritis effect still remains elusive.
Undesired effects of synthetic antidiabetic agents have made researchers to seek for safer and healthier resources. With this aspect, herbal materials have attracted substantial research interest and are being extensively investigated. Considering that herb-drug interactions can be a BACKGROUND
In West Africa, women utilize wild plant species to maintain and enhance their health throughout the duration of pregnancy. These plants are a culturally resilient and financially accessible form of nourishment for pregnant women in the region, many of whom are malnourished, yet studies
