timosaponin/inflammation

Investigations into the development of new therapeutic agents for lung inflammatory disorders have led to the discovery of plant-based alternatives. The rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides have a long history of use against lung inflammatory disorders in traditional herbal medicine. However, the

Anemarrhena asphodeloides bunge is a traditional Chinese medicine and timosaponin BII is one of the most abundant and widely studied active ingredients in anemarrhena asphodeloides bunge. Related studies have shown that timosaponin BII has potential value for development and utilization. The

The aim of this study was to investigate the antidepressive effects of timosaponin B-III (TB-III) and the underlying mechanism. A postpartum depression (PPD) mouse model was established by the administration of dexamethasone sodium phosphate during pregnancy. Mice with PPD were assigned to the

This study aimed to investigate the effect of timosaponin B-II (TB-II) on palmitate (PA)-induced insulin resistance and inflammation in HepG2 cells, and probe the potential mechanisms. TB-II, a main ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicine Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge, notably ameliorated

It was reported that the total polysaccharides extracts from Anemarrhenae asphodeloides Bge (Liliaceae, rhizome) could inhibit inflammatory responses in various models. In the present study, the effects of Timosaponin B-II, a purified extract from A. asphodeloidesb, on the expressions of IL-1beta,

Background: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) deposition causes inflammatory injury in osteoblasts and contributes to diabetic osteoporosis. The receptor for advanced glycation end product/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (RAGE/MAPK) signaling pathway

UVB radiation changes several photoaging pathway in the body, thereby prompting skin injury. Besides, chronic UVB radiation leads to photoaging, sustained immunosuppression, and photocarcinogenesis. We investigated the protective effect of Timosaponin AIII (TA-III), a naturally occurring steroidal

Timosaponin B-II (TB), a main bioactive compound in Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge, has various kinds of pharmacological activities, the present study aimed to investigate the protective role of TB on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). ALI was induced in mice by intratracheal

Timosaponin B-II (TB-II) is a natural bioactive steroid glycoside extracted from the Chinese medicinal herb Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. (Fam. Liliaceae). It has been demonstrated to have a good anti-inflammatory effect and a low bioavailability (1.1%). Clinical research has focused on developing

Background: The plant species Anemarrhena asphodeloides has commonly been used for health and therapeutic purposes. Timosaponin B-II, which is present at a high concentration in A. asphodeloides, was found to enhance the immune and

OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between chemical subdivision and immune suppressive activity in order to find out the anti-inflammatory and immunomudulatory pharmacological activity material basic of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma. METHODS C57 mice was induced by 2,4-Dinitrofluorobenzene to build immune

Sapogenins from Anemarrhenae asphodeloides was reported to improve the learning and memory abilities. In this study, we investigated the effect of Timosaponin B-II(TB-II), a purified extract from A. asphodeloidesb on rat vascular dementia (VD) produced by transient (2h) middle cerebral artery

Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge (AA, family Liliaceae), which primarily contains xantones, such as mangiferin, and steroidal saponins, such as timosaponin AIII and sarsasapogenin, has been used as an anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-platelet aggregation, and anti-depressant agent

BACKGROUND Many synthesized drugs with clinical severe side effects have been used for diabetic nephropathy (DN) treatment. Therefore, it is urgent and necessary to identify natural and safe agents to remedy DN. Timosaponin B-II (TB-II), a major steroidal saponin constituent in Anemarrhena

Insulin resistance is a major cause of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Macrophage infiltration into obese adipose tissue promotes inflammatory responses that contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Suppression of adipose tissue inflammatory responses is postulated to increase
