Although rhein and NSAIDs are potent anti-inflammatory drugs, their use has been limited by the high incidence of gastrointestinal erosions and the necessity to deliver the drug to specific sites of target organ. Using the prodrug approach, a series of rhein-NSAIDs prodrugs containing anthraquinone
Because steroids and cyclooxygenase inhibitors may cause serious side effects, the IκB kinase (IKK) β/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) system has become an intriguing candidate anti-inflammatory target. Rhein, the active metabolite of diacerein, possesses anti-inflammatory ability with a gastrointestinal
Inflammation is a common inducer of numerous severe diseases such as sepsis. The NF-κB signaling pathway plays a key role in the inflammatory process. Its activation promotes the release of pro-inflammatory mediators like iNOS and TNF-α. PPAR-γ inactivates NF-κB, and subsequently attenuates
The aim of the work was to develop rhein loaded polymeric nanoparticles (R-PNPs). Nanoparticles were prepared by three methods, solvent emulsion-evaporation, double emulsion, and nanoprecipitation, by means of experimental design. Additionally, the effects of the best formulation on in vitro
BACKGROUND
The anti-inflammatory drug diacetyl rhein has been found to possess promising antistaphylococcal effects against various drug-resistant strains in our previous study. In the present work, we explored the in vitro combinatory interactions of diacetyl rhein with oxacillin and tetracycline
The protective effect of rhein lysinate (RHL) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) was explored in senescence-accelerated mouse prone-8 (SAMP8) mice. SAMP8 mice without treatment were used as the AD-positive control, and senescence-accelerated-resistant mice were used as the AD-negative control. In this
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) in anti-inflammation of rhein in uric acid nephropathy (UAN) rats.Rat models of UAN were induced by adenine and potassium OBJECTIVE
We investigated the effect of argirein on acute inflammation edema and examined that aquaporin 4 (AQP4), p66Shc and activating transcription factor (ATF-6) might be involved in carrageenan-induced rat paw inflammation and be reversed by argirein, rhein and indometacin, but not
We investigated the anti-inflammatory activities of argirein and rhein on inflammatory edema in rat paw which was caused by complete adjuvant, compared with ibuprofen. We hypothesized that the adjuvant-induced inflammation is attributed to upregulation of activating transcript factor 6 (ATF6; a
Rhein has protective effect on uric acid nephropathy (UAN). This article aims to demystify the mechanism of function of rhein in UAN. Mouse kidney epithelial cell line (TCMK-1) was incubated with uric acid (UA) to induce inflammatory injury. Then, the TCMK-1 cells were treated with rhein. The
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic and systemic inflammatory disorder, which may lead to joint disabilities. So far the pathogenesis of RA remains largely undetermined, and there are still no potent drugs for clinical treatment. Rhein, a natural bioactive anthraquinone derivative, exhibited
Anti-inflammatory activity of rhein in animal models with potential mechanism of actions.Methods
Rhein was isolated from
Cassia fistula L. flowers collected in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Its anti-inflammatory activity was then investigated in
The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effects of rhein lysinate (RHL) on the liver. Mice were divided into four groups: C57BL/J control, the KK/HlJ diabetic model, and 25 and 50 mg/kg/day RHL-treated KK/HlJ groups. The KK/HlJ diabetic mouse model was made by injecting STZ and
Intestinal epithelial barrier and intestinal inflammation play indispensable roles in the development of intestinal diseases. The major aims of the current study were to investigate the potential of rhein, a major flavonoid compound isolated from Rheum rhabarbarum, in the treatment of Rhein, an anthraquinone drug, is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine. Rhein is a major bioactive metabolite of diacerein which has been approved for treating osteoarthritis with a good safety profile in humans. Gouty arthritis is an inflammatory disease characterized by urate crystal-induced
