cirsium pannonicum/neoplasms

Cirsium japonicum is a wild perennial herb that has been used as an anti-hemorrhagic, anti-hypertensive and uretic agent in traditional Chinese medicine. Recently, it was reported that C. japonicum inhibits the growth of implanted cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the

The biological activities of the ethanol extract from Cirsium japonicum var. maackii (ICF-1) and its major component, polyphenol cirsimaritin, were investigated as part of the search for possible alternative drugs for breast cancer. Three in vitro cell-based assays were used: the cell proliferation

The purpose of these experiments is to study the effects of flavone from Cirsium japonicum DC (FLCJ) on tumor activity and on the regulation of the immune response in mice with S180 and H22 tumors. Pectolinarin and 5, 7-dihydroxy-6, 4'-dimethoxyflavone are two major components of FLCJ. FLCJ,

In this study the antineoplastic activity of methanolic extracts of six medicinal plants that are native to Iran, including Galium mite, Ferulago angulata, Stachys obtusicrena, Cirsium bracteosum and Echinophora cinerea was investigated. Different tumor cell lines were exposed to the extracts and

Five terpenes (1-5), three fatty acids (6-8), two sterols (9 and 11), and a monogalactosyldiacyl glycerol (10) were isolated from the methylene chloride extract of the aerial part of Cirsium setidens. Their chemical structures were determined to be alpha-tocopherol (1),

BACKGROUND The leaves of Cirsium brevicaule A. GRAY (CL) significantly decreased hepatic lipid accumulation and the expression of fatty acid synthase gene (FASN) in mice. OBJECTIVE We aimed to purify and identify the active compound(s) from CL and determine the inhibitory mechanism of expression of

Cirsium japonicum belongs to the Asteraceae or Compositae family and is a medicinal plant in Asia that has a variety of effects, including tumour inhibition, improved immunity with flavones, and antidiabetic and hepatoprotective effects. Silymarin is synthesized by 4-coumaroyl-CoA via both the

BACKGROUND Cirsium japonicum DC., a traditional Chinese medicine, has been shown to have anti-haemorrhagic and anti-tumour effects. Pharmacological studies have demonstrated that this curative effect may be related to flavonoids. The present work aimed to screen and identify the main flavonoids and

UNASSIGNED Drugs for the treatment of liver diseases are scarce and not effective enough. Some species of the genus Cirsium possess hepatoprotective activity. There are no studies on the hepatoprotective effects of nonpolar extracts from inflorescences of thistles Cirsium vulgare and Cirsium

The crude extract of Saussurea lappa displayed significant lethality to brine shrimp larvae. Investigation of the causative components by bioactivity-directed fractionation resulted in the isolation of three C17-polyene alcohols. Based on various nmr spectral data, these compounds were identified as

Cirsium japonicum DC (Asteraceae) is a perennial thistle widely distributed in Asia, it is also consumed as functional food and herb in China. To analyze the health effects of C. japonicum, flavonoids, saponins, polysaccharides, essential oil, coumarin and alkaloids were extracted from C. japonicum,

In this study, the protective effects of luteolin (1, a major component of Cirsium japonicum) were examined against d-galactosamine (GalN)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced fulminant hepatic failure. Mice received an intraperitoneal injection of 1 (25, 50, 100, and 200 mg·kg(-1)) 1 h before treatment

UNASSIGNED Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and involves secretion of inflammatory mediators. The flavone diglycoside hispidulin-7-O-neohesperidoside (HN) isolated from the methanolic extract of aerial parts of Cirsium japonicum

Luteolin, a flavonoid isolated from Cirsium japonicum, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. Our previous studies brought a prospect that luteolin benefited diabetic rats with cognitive impairments. In this study, we examined whether luteolin could suppress the

Rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLSs), a pathological hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), exhibit the characteristics of tumor cells. The extracts of Cirsium japonicum var. ussuriense have been shown to possess antitumor and anti-inflammatory activities. Our study aimed to
