isoginkgetin/inflammation

Ginkgo biloba L., well known as living fossil, have various pharmacological activities. Eighteen compounds were isolated from Ginkgo male flowers including a novel matsutake alcohol glycoside, Ginkgoside A (1), and 17 known compounds-calaliukiuenoside (2), benzylalcohol O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 →

Ginkgetin, a biflavone from Ginkgo biloba leaves, was previously reported to be a phospholipase A2 inhibitor and this compound showed the potent antiarthritic activity in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis as well as analgesic activity. This investigation was carried out to find effects on

Caper (Capparis spinosa L.) fruits have been widely used as food and folk medicine in the Mediterranean basin and in central and west Asia. In this study, two biflavonoids, isoginkgetin, and ginkgetin, together with three other flavonoids, were isolated from caper fruits. Their chemical structures

Ginkgo biloba studies have focused on the anti-inflammatory effects of the major components, ginkgolide and bilobalide, whereas little is known about their effect on fibroblasts. This study demonstrated the enhancing effects of Ginkgo L. extracts, especially the flavonoid fractions: quercetin,

Biflavonoid is one of unique classes of naturally-occurring bioflavonoid. Previously, certain biflavonoids were found to possess the inhibitory effects on phospholipase A(2) activity and lymphocytes proliferation(1) suggesting their anti-inflammatory/immunoregulatory potential. In this study,

Alternative splicing is a biological mechanism that enables the synthesis of several isoforms with different or even opposite functions. This process must be tightly regulated to prevent unwanted isoform expression favoring pathological processes. Some isoforms of interleukin 32 (IL-32) are reported
