tournefortia sarmentosa/inflammation

Tournefortia sarmentosa, a Chinese herbal medicine, is considered an antioxidant or a detoxicating agent. Recently T. sarmentosa has received attention for its effects on the immune response. Here we provide evidence that aqueous extract of T. sarmentosa can induce increased phagocytic uptake of

A new flavanone glycoside, (2S)-dihydrooroxylin A 7-O-[β-D-apiosyl(1→2)]-β-D-glucoside (1), and four known compounds (2-5) were isolated from Tournefortia sibirica L. The chemical structures of these compounds were determined by 1 D and 2 D NMR

Tournefortia sarmentosa, a Chinese herbal medicine, is considered an antioxidant or a detoxicant agent. Recent studies have shown that T. sarmentosa plays an important role in inhibiting low-density-lipoprotein oxidation and attenuating acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. However, information

BACKGROUND Tournefortia sarmentosa Lam. (Boraginaceae), a Chinese herbal medicine, is commonly used as a detoxicant or anti-inflammatory agent. OBJECTIVE As acetaminophen (APAP) is a well-known hepatotoxin, we investigated the effect of the aqueous extract of the T. sarmentosa on APAP-induced

Three polyisoprenoid alcohols were isolated from the leaves of Tournefortia hirsutissima by a bioassay-guided phytochemical investigation. The compounds were identified as 16-hydroxy-lycopersene (Compound 1), (Z₈,E₃,ω)-dodecaprenol (Compound 2) and
