The aim of this study was to determine of the effect of casticin, as an anti-inflammatory agent, on an acute lung inflammation in vivo model established through exposure to cigarette smoke (CS). Casticin is a phytochemical from Vitex species such as Vitex rotundifolia and Vitex agnus-castus that was
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of casticin of Fructus Viticis.
METHODS
Observations were made on the anti-inflammatory effect of casticin in the models of acute inflammation in vivo.
RESULTS
Casticin inhibited significantly xylene-induced mouse ear edema, egg albumen-induced
Asthma is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases of childhood, characterized by airway inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, and accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins. Casticin is an active compound that possesses broad biological activities including anti-inflammatory effect.
Casticin, an active compound isolated from Vitex rotundifolia L., was reported to possess anti-inflammatory activity. However, the effect of casticin on inflammatory response in human osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes remains unclear. In the current study, we examined the anti-inflammatory effects of
Casticin has been isolated from Vitex trifolia and found to have anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. We also previously discovered that casticin can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and ICAM-1 expression in inflammatory pulmonary epithelial cells. In the present study, we evaluated whether
This short review provides an update of the anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties of casticin from Vitex species. Casticin is a polymethylflavone with three rings, an orthocatechol moiety, a double bond, two hydroxyl groups and four methoxyl groups. Casticin has been isolated from various
BACKGROUND
The aim of our experiments was to investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of casticin and chrysosplenol D, two flavonoids present in Artemisia annua L.
METHODS
Topical inflammation was induced in ICR mice using croton oil. Mice were then treated with casticin or chrysosplenol D.
The compound casticin, isolated from Vitex rotundifolia, exerts anti-inflammatory effects and causes apoptosis of cancer cells. In this study, we explored the anti-inflammatory effects of casticin and modulation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and mucin 5AC
Casticin, a component from Vitex rotundifolia, widely used as an anti-inflammatory agent in Chinese traditional medicine, was reported to have anti-tumor activities. This study aims to examine the anti-leukemic activity of casticin on leukemia cells and its molecular mechanism. Cell viability was
Casticin, a polymethoxyflavone from Fructus viticis used as an anti-inflammatory agent in Chinese traditional medicine, has been reported to have anti-cancer activity. The purpose of this study was to examine the apoptotic activity of casticin on human cervical cancer cells and its molecular
Casticin, a compound purified from the Chinese herb Viticis Fructus, has been proven effective in preventing tumor progression in previous studies. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common inflammatory bowel disease that affects millions of people worldwide, but no effective and safe drugs are available.
Casticin, an isoflavone compound extracted from the herb Fructus Viticis, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities and properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of casticin in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells and to Casticin, an active compound isolated from Vitex Fructus, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects in previous studies. The present study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of casticin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and clarify the underlying
BACKGROUND
The fruits of Vitex rotundifolia L. are widely used to treat inflammation of the airway in Traditional Chinese medicine. Previous studies found that casticin, isolated from Vitex rotundifolia, could induce apoptosis of tumor cells. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects
Cancer persists as one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide, contributing to approximately 9.6 million deaths per annum in recent years. Despite the numerous advancements in cancer treatment, there is still abundant scope to mitigate recurrence, adverse side effects and toxicities caused by
