acridone/inflammation

Toddaliopsins A-D, four novel 1,2,3-trioxygenated acridone alkaloids, have been isolated from the leaves of Toddaliopsis bremekampii. Toddaliopsins B-D are the first reported acridone alkaloids with substituted N-methyl groups, in the light of which the chemotaxonomic relationship of Toddaliopsis

BACKGROUND Citrus aurantium L. (Rutaceae) is used, either singly or as a part of a polyherbal preparation, in Nigerian traditional medicine for the management of cancer and inflammatory diseases. Currently, there is a dearth of knowledge demonstrating its anticancer potential. OBJECTIVE This study

Heme is an important prosthetic molecule for various hemoproteins and serves important function in living aerobic organisms. But degradation of hemoprotein, for example, hemoglobin during different pathological conditions leads to the release of heme, which is very toxic as it induces oxidative

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are global epidemic public health problems with pathogenesis incompletely understood. Hepatocyte excessive apoptosis is a significant symbol for NAFLD/NASH patients, and therefore anti-apoptosis therapy could be used for
