Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways associated with a Th2 immune response. Despite their side effects, corticosteroids are the most used and effective drugs for treatment of asthma. In this work we investigated the efficacy of lupeol, a triterpenoid isolated from Lonchocarpus
The objective of the study was to investigate the activity of Lupeol (LUP) on proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the pleural exudate from male swiss albino mice. We applied Cytometric bead array technology for simultaneously measurement of these cytokines in pleurisy induced mice
BACKGROUND
Chemoprevention may involve perturbation of a variety of steps in tumor initiation, promotion, and progression.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory potential effects of diindolylmethane (DIM) and lupeol on experimental bladder carcinogenesis.
METHODS
Sixty
BACKGROUND
Echis carinatus bite is a serious threat in South-Asian countries including India, as it causes highest number of deaths and terrifying long-term tissue destruction at the bitten site. Although venom metalloproteinases and hyaluronidases are the suggested key players, studies on the
Lupeol-3-palmitate (LP) and lupeol-3-linoleate (LL), two synthetic long chain fatty acid ester analogues of the plant-derived anti-inflammatory pentacyclic triterpenoid lupeol (L), were studied in vitro as potential inhibitors of serine protease activity. With respect to the natural protein
In the central nervous system (CNS), neuroinflammation, especially that modulated by the cell response of astrocytes and microglia, is associated with damage to neurons in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and, Multiple Sclerosis. Lupeol is a dietary
A series of heterocyclic derivatives including indoles, pyrazines along with oximes and esters were synthesized from lupeol and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity through inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 and J774A.1 cells. All the
Aims of the present study were to investigate effects of Balanophora spicata (BS) on antinociception and anti-inflammation both in vivo and in vitro. Crude extract of BS inhibited vascular permeability induced by histamine, serotonin, bradykinin, and PGE(2), but not by PAF. Furthermore, BS crude
Pimenta racemosa var. ozua (Myrtaceae) is a tropical plant, used in different inflammatory processes by the folk medicine of the Caribbean region. From the methanol extract of the leaves a terpenic compound identified as lupeol has been isolated for the first time in this species. The
Local inflammation-induced extracellular matrix structural changes are a prerequisite to neoplastic invasion by pediatric intracranial tumors. Accordingly, increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9, two inflammation-induced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), may further aid
Two pentacyclic triterpenes, namely lupeol and lupeol linoleate, were investigated for their anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, anti-pyretic and ulcerogenic properties in comparison with the commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, indomethacin in rats. Lupeol, lupeol linoleate and
The pentacyclic triterpene lupeol has been studied for its inhibitory effects on murine models of inflammation and peritoneal macrophage functions in-vitro. Lupeol (0.5 and 1 mg/ear) administered topically suppressed the mouse ear oedema induced by 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol acetate (TPA), being
Skin wound healing is a highly complex event that involves different mediators at the cellular and molecular level. Lupeol has been reported to possess different biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and in vitro wound healing properties, which motivated us to
BACKGROUND
The species Himatanthus drasticus is popularly known in Northeast Brazil as "janaguba" and belongs to the family Apocynaceae. The latex collected from its stem bark is used for several purposes including anti-inflammatory properties and presents among its bioactive constituents the
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a chronic inflammatory disease in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Mounting evidence suggests that the predominance of the classically activated (M1) macrophages versus the alternatively activated (M2)
