auraptene/necrosis

Helicobacter pylori is a major human pathogen that plays central roles in chronic gastritis and gastric cancer. Recently, we reported that auraptene suppressed H. pylori adhesion via expression of CD74, which has been identified as a new receptor for H. pylori urease. In this study, we attempted to

Auraptene (AUR), a citrus coumarin derivative, is one of the promising chemopreventive agents against skin, tongue, esophagus and colon carcinogenesis in rodents. We reported previously that AUR suppresses superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) generation from inflammatory leukocytes in in vitro experiments. In

The modifying effects of auraptene isolated from the peel of citrus fruit (Citrus natsudaidai Hayata) on macrophage and lymphocyte functions were investigated in mice. Female BALB/c mice were gavaged with auraptene at a dose of 100, 200 or 400 mg/kg once a day for 10 consecutive days. Glucose

The inhibitory effects of novel prodrugs, inclusion complexes of 3-(4'-geranyloxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-2-trans propenoic acid (GOFA) and auraptene (AUR) with beta-cyclodextrin (CD), on colon carcinogenesis were investigated using an azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) model. Male CD-1 (ICR)

METHODS Inflammation plays a key role in obesity-related pathologies such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Hypertrophied adipocytes trigger the enhancement of macrophage infiltration and the release of various proinflammatory factors in obese adipose tissue. In this study, we examined
