To study the role of oleanolic acid on interleukin (IL)-1β-stimulated expression of inflammatory cytokines, and to explore its anti-inflammatory mechanism in SW982 cells, the toxicity of oleanolic acid on SW982 cells was detected by MTT; effects of different concentrations of oleanolic acid(5, 10,
As a late mediator of inflammation, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein up-regulates pro-inflammatory cytokines in several inflammatory diseases. Further, high plasma levels of HMGB1 correlate with poor prognosis and increased mortality in patients with severe inflammation. Oleanolic acid
Pollen is the most common aeroallergen to cause seasonal conjunctivitis. The result of allergen exposure is a strong Th2-mediated response along with conjunctival mast cell degranulation and eosinophilic infiltration. Oleanolic acid (OA) is natural a triterpene that displays strong anti-inflammatory
Oleanolic acid acetate (OAA), triterpenoid compound isolated from Vigna angularis (azuki bean), has been revealed anti-inflammatory in several studies. We investigated the effects of OAA against polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate (PHMG-P)-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in mice. OAA
Myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are inflammatory diseases of the myocardium, for which appropriate treatment remains a major clinical challenge. Oleanolic acid (OA), a natural triterpene widely distributed in food and medicinal plants, possesses a large range of biological effects with
Oleanolic acid (OA) is a hydroxyl pentacyclic triterpene acid (HTAs) used in various ailments. Inflammatory diseases may be profoundly influenced by iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) status. We studied the anti-asthmatic effects of two metal complexes (Fe and Zn) of OA in the ovalbumin (OVA)-induced rat
Biotransformation of oleanolic acid (OA) by Circinella muscae AS 3.2695 was investigated. Nine hydroxylated and glycosylated metabolites (1-9) were obtained. Their structures were elucidated as 3β,7β-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (1), 3β,7β,21β-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (2),
OBJECTIVE
Oleanolic acid is abundantly distributed in Swertia mussotii Franch, a Chinese traditional herb for the treatment of jaundice. However, the hepatoprotective role of oleanolic acid in obstructive cholestasis and its underlying molecular mechanism are unclear.
METHODS
Normal rats and bile
Oleanolic acid (OA) is a bioactive triterpenoid in medicinal plants. It possesses various pharmacological properties, including analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor effects. The effects of OA in chondrocytes, however, are not well characterized. Here, we used rabbit articular chondrocytes as
The present work was aimed at evaluating the influence of oleanolic acid on complement-related inflammation. In adjuvant-induced arthritis and carrageenan-induced paw oedema in rats, oleanolic acid was found to possess significant anti-inflammatory and complement-inhibitory activities. The
Aims: Sub-clinical inflammation during pre-diabetes is one of the predisposing factors that facilitates the progression of pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes. The administration of oleanolic acid (OA) with or without dietary intervention
Oleanolic acid acetate (OAA), a major triterpenoid compound of Vigna angularis (azuki bean, V. angularis), has been shown to downregulate inflammatory responses in macrophages. Here, we show the molecular basis for the effect of OAA on Toll-like receptor (TLR) downstream signaling. OAA
From an anti-inflammatory Chinese medicinal plant, Glechoma hederaceae L., two triterpene carboxylic acids, ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA) have been isolated as inhibitors of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induced Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activation in Raji cells. Both acids
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is reported as a devastating disease, leading to tissue loss and neurologic dysfunction. However, there is no effective therapeutic strategy for SCI treatment. Oleanolic acid (OA), as a triterpenoid, has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic activities.
Oleanolic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound widely found in plants and well known for its medicinal properties. Oleanolic acid (OA) was isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Syzygium aromaticum flower buds. Semisynthesis afforded both acetate and ester derivatives. The derived
