To study the effect of the alkaloid fangchinoline on zymosan-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and Escherichia coli (E. coli)-induced septic shock.
METHODS
Male ICR mice were used. Macrophages were isolated from peritoneal cavity for in vitro study.
METHODS
Fangchinoline
Bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids are known to affect immune responses as well as inflammatory responses, and have been used for the treatment of inflammatory symptoms in China. This study is aimed at elucidating the inhibitory effects of two alkaloids, fangchinoline and isotetrandrine, on the
The present study evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of fangchinoline in rheumatoid arthritis-induced rats. Rats were grouped into sham (group I), rheumatoid arthritis (group II, control), fangchinoline (2 μM, group III), and fangchinoline (4 μM, group IV) groups. The serum levels of lipid
The antihyperglycemic activities of extracts of boiogito (BOT) and bofutsushosan (BTS) were investigated in streptozotocin-induced (STZ)-diabetic mice. BOT extract containing Stephania tetrandra S. MOORE root (stephania), has more potent antihyperglycemic activity than BOT extract containing
