gardenia erubescens/inflammation

This work is carried out with Gardenia coronaria leaves that belong to the family Rubiaceae, which is a small-to-medium-sized but tall, deciduous tree, 7.6-9 m high on an average. Leaves are used for the treatment of rheumatic pain and bronchitis. The leaf of the plant consists of coronalolide,

BACKGROUND Canthium henriquesianum (K. Schum) is traditionally used in Burkina Faso for the treatment of malaria, but has not been properly investigated, yet. The aim of this study was to characterize in vitro the antiplasmodial and the anti-inflammatory activity of extracts from Canthium

OBJECTIVE Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (GJ, Cape Jasmine Fruit, Zhi Zi) has been traditionally used for the treatment of infectious hepatitis, aphthous ulcer, and trauma; however, the direct evidence is lacking. METHODS We investigated the effect of the GJ extract (GJ) and gallic acid (GA) on

Bioassay-guided fractionation of the dichloromethane extract from the apical bud of Gardenia sootepenesis Hutch. (Rubiaceae) led to the isolation of four new cycloartane triterpenes, sootepins F-I (1-4), along with four known derivatives (5-8). The structures of the new compounds were determined by

Inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) enhance binding of low-density lipoprotein to endothelium and upregulate the expression of endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecules during atherogenesis. The present study examined the effect of ethanol extract of Gardenia

This paper reports the study of six fractions and one chemical constituent isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Gardenia jasminoides. The results showed that two fractions (G5.G6,), alcohol extract (G1) and genipoiside(A) had obvious anti-inflammatory effects and were comparatively effective

The gastrointestinal absorption of the main carotenoids present in Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, crocetin, crocin-1 and crocin-2, was assayed through transport studies on MKN-28 and Caco-2 cell lines. Overall, crocetin was the compound that presented the highest gastrointestinal transport efficiency.

This study was designed to investigate changes of anti-oxidant and anti-nitric oxide (NO) production activities of Gardenia jasminoides (Gj) by roast processing, and anti-inflammatory activities of crocetin derivatives isolated from Gj. In order to evaluate anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory

Geniposide, a main iridoid glucoside component of gardenia fruit, has been known to exhibit antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and other important therapeutic activities. The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effects of geniposide on inflammation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)

Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, which belongs to the Rubiaceae family, is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine. Although effect of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis has been widely reported, its anti-inflammatory role in intestinal mucosal injury induced by LPS remains unclear. In the

Gardenia fruit has been traditionally used as a folk medicine for centuries in Asian countries. Extraction with ethanol was used to obtain an extract (GFE) that contains two known constituents, geniposide and genipin, which were subsequently evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity. GFE, genipin,

Most anticancer drugs have their origin in traditional medicinal plants. We describe here a flavone, 5,3'-dihydroxy-3,6,7,8,4'-pentamethoxyflavone (PMF), from the leaves of the Thai plant Gardenia obtusifolia, that has anti-inflammatory and anticancer potential. Because the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)

Gliomas are the most observed primary brain tumor, of which glioblastoma multiform (GBM) shows the highest incidence. Radiotherapy with temozolomide is the standard therapeutic method, but because of side effects, search for alternative therapies is required. Gardenia jasminoides (GJ) is

OBJECTIVE Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides) has many pharmacological actions such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and fibrolytic activities and cytotoxic effects, etc. This study was conducted to recognize the effect of zeatin and thidiazuron (TDZ) on callus proliferation, total phenolic content,

This study was earned out to investigate the antioxidative and anti-apoptotic effects of glycoprotein isolated from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis fruit (GJE glycoprotein), which has been used to heal hepatic and inflammatory diseases in folk medicine. GJE glycoprotein showed a single band with a
