The dried flowers and buds of Sophora japonica are used as a medicinal herb in China, Japan and Korea to treat bleeding hemorrhoids and hematemesis. This article presents an overview of the effects of Sophora japonica on cerebral infarction based on literature searched from Medline, PubMed, Cochrane
Sophora Japonica L. (SJ) is a traditional Chinese herb used to cool blood, stop bleeding and to treat hemorrhoids with bleeding. Although several recent studies found that both SJ and Ginkgo biloba have the same components of quercetin and rutin, only Ginkgo biloba has been widely used to treat
Oxysophoridine (OSR), a natural alkaloid derived from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant sophora alopecuroides, can perform a variety of pharmacological actions. The aim of the present study was to assess the cardioprotective effect of OSR against acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rats. OSR
Oxymatrine (1), a component extracted from a traditional Chinese herb Sophora japonica (Sophora flavescens Ait.), has been demonstrated to have a variety of pharmacological actions. Abundant experimental evidence indicates that 1 may exert a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. This study
Oxysophoridine, a new alkaloid extracted from Sophora alopecuroides L., has been shown to have a protective effect against ischemic brain damage. In this study, a focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury model was established using middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice. Both 62.5, 125, and 250
Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CI/R) injury remains a major medical problem due to the lack of effective therapies. Previous studies have shown that increasing the activity of the transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and gene targets in cell culture and stroke
Matrine (Mat) and oxymatrine are two major alkaloids of the Chinese herb Sophora flavescens Ait. (Leguminosae). Previous study has demonstrated that Mat reduces brain edema induced by focal cerebral ischemia. More recently, oxymatrine has been reported to produce neuroprotective effects against
Matrine, a monomer of traditional Chinese medicine Sophora flavescens, is a potential drug for treatment of arrhythmia. The aim of the study is to elucidate the protective effects of matrine on arrhythmic rat induced by myocardial infarction (MI) and further explore underlying targets. Experiments
Sophocarpine, one of the major alkaloid compounds isolated from Sophora pachycarpa, is highly valued and important in traditional Chinese medicine. In the present study, we aimed to explore the possible mechanisms underlying sophocarpine-mediated neuroprotection against transient focal cerebral
BACKGROUND
Sophora alopecuroides L. (the clinical usefulness of compound Kudouzi injection) has been used mainly for the treatment of fever, inflammation, edema and pain. Sophocarpine, a tetracyclic quinolizidine alkaloid, is one of the most abundant active ingredients in Sophora alopecuroides L.
OBJECTIVE
Oxymatrine, extracted from a traditional Chinese herb, Sophora flavescens Ait, has shown a variety of pharmacological actions. Recently, we have proved that oxymatrine protected brain from ischemic damage. However, little is known about the exact mechanisms of this effect. This study is to
Matrine, an active constituent of the Chinese herb, Sophora flavescens Ait., and it is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. It has been demonstrated that matrine exerts protective effects against heart failure by decreasing the expression of caspase-3 and Bax, and
Large amounts of brain nitric oxide are produced over several hours after a stroke. This probably causes DNA strand nicks, nitration of cytosolic components of neurons, and ultimately neuronal death. Oxymatrine and matrine are two major alkaloids of the Chinese herb Sophora flavescens Ait.
Oxymatrine (OMT), an active constituent of Chinese herb Sophora flavescens Ait, has been proved to possess anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic activities. Previous study has demonstrated that OMT had protective roles on multiple in vitro and in vivo brain injury models
