This study was designed to explore the protective effects of methanol (Meth, 200 mg kg-1 body wt) and aqueous ethanol (Eth-OH, 200 mg kg-1 body wt) extracts of Anthocleista djalonensis roots on testicular inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 5 mg/kg body wt) and
Although commensal microbes have been shown to modulate host immune responses, many of the bacterial factors that mediate immune regulation remain unidentified. Select strains of human-derived Lactobacillus reuteri synthesize immunomodulins that potently inhibit production of the inflammatory
Lipid chemical mediator resolvins with highly potent anti-inflammatory activity can be leads to develop novel anti-inflammatory drugs; however, they are unstable in oxygen due to their characteristic polyunsaturated structures. To solve the problem, CP-RvE2 has been designed and synthesized in which
Recent studies have shown that fine structural modifications of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell envelope lipids mediate host cell immune activation during infection. One such alteration in lipid structure is cis-cyclopropane modification of the mycolic acids on trehalose dimycolate (TDM) mediated by
BACKGROUND
Triterpenes are one of the largest secondary metabolites groups spread in the plant kingdom with various skeletons. These metabolites have showed various bioactivities including anti-inflammatory activity.
OBJECTIVE
The study aims to explore the mass spectrometry fragmentation of
Mycolic acids (MAs) occur in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as variable mixtures of different classes and chain lengths. Here, we address the relationship between the structure and its inflammatory function of this virulence factor using single synthetic MA isomers, differing in
This study to investigate chemical constituents from the aerial of Bupleurum marginatum led to the isolation of a new trierpenoid and a new flavonoid, namely 3β-hydroxy-cycloart-24-en-26-acetyloxy (1), and 3, 3', 5'-trimethoxyl-myricetin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2) along with eight known compounds
Fifteen previously undescribed coumarin derivatives, murratins A-M, including two pairs of coumarin enantiomers with a cyclopropane unit, two benzocoumarins, a dimeric coumarin, and eight C-8-substituted coumarins, together with six known analogues were isolated from the extract of the leaves and
Cancer-related and primary lymphedema (LE) are associated with the production of adipose tissue (AT). Nothing is known, however, about the lipid-based molecules that comprise LE AT. We therefore analyzed lipid molecules in lipoaspirates and serum obtained from LE patients, and compared them to
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection remains a global health crisis. Recent genetic evidence implicates specific cell envelope lipids in Mtb pathogenesis, but it is unclear whether these cell envelope compounds affect pathogenesis through a structural role in the cell wall or as pathogenesis
Dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomycin (DHMEQ, 1) is well known to inhibit nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), which is closely associated with immune, inflammatory, and apoptotic processes as an inducible transcription factor. The inhibitory effect seems to be the result of the ring opening of an epoxide of 1
The strain Raoultella sp. KDF8 was cultivated on three sources of carbon and energy, glycerol, ethanol and diclofenac, for periods of time ranging from 24 to 72 h. Using thin-layer chromatography, nine classes of phospholipids were detected and the amount of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn)
The stilbene tapinarof is a drug used to treat psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Efficacy is thought to arise from its regulation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 signaling pathways, which have also been linked to the severity of inflammatory bowel
In the present study, we asked whether platelet-activating factor (PAF) mediates the ozone-induced increase in airway microvascular leakage. To answer this question, we examined the effect of a PAF receptor antagonist on the ozone-induced increase in airway microvascular leakage quantified by the
Classic glucocorticoids that have outstanding anti-inflammatory effects are still widely prescribed for the treatment of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Conversely, glucocorticoids cause numerous unwanted side effects, particularly systemically dosed glucocorticoids. Therefore,
