OBJECTIVE
In order to assess traditional Thai claims about the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants and to select plants for future phytochemical research, nine plant species with anti-inflammatory uses were selected from Thai textbooks and assessed for their in vitro anti-inflammatory,
Three naphthoquinone derivatives, rhinacanthin-C (1), -D (2) and -N (3) were isolated from the leaves of Rhinacanthus nasutus extract and were tested for anti-inflammatory activity. The result indicated that all three compounds possessed very potent anti-inflammatory activity against
Rhinacanthin C is a naphthoquinone ester with anti-inflammatory activity, found in Rhinacanthus nasutus (L) Kurz (Acanthaceae). We found that rhinacanthin C inhibited osteoclast differentiation stimulated by the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) in mouse bone marrow macrophage
Centella asiatica (CA) and Rhinacanthus nasutus (RN) are Thai medicinal plants traditionally used to treat a variety of disorders including inflammatory conditions and infections. Nitric oxide (NO) produced from activated macrophages plays a role in both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory processes.
In this present study, rhinacanthins-rich extract (RRE) and rhinacanthin C (RC) the main bioactive constituent of Rhinacanthus nasutus was investigated for their protective effect against diabetic nephropathy (DN). Diabetes was induced by administering nicotinamide (100 mg/kg, i.p.)/streptozotocin
OBJECTIVE
High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was shown to be a major extracellular mediator involved in relayed neuro-inflammation in animals after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It is of interest to examine the effect of rhinacanthin-C (RCT-C, C25H30O5) on pro-inflammatory cytokines/HMGB1 in an
Neuroinflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Compounds that suppress neuroinflammation have been identified as potential therapeutic targets for AD. Rhinacanthin C (RC), a naphthoquinone ester found in Rhinacanthus nasutus Kurz (Acanthaceae), is
