This study aimed to determine whether brazilin exhibits anti-inflammatory effects that inhibit T helper cell type II (T(H)2) responses and whether it suppresses allergic inflammation reactions in a murine model of asthma. We found that brazilin inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of
Brazilin, an active principle of Caesalprenia sappan, was examined for its immunopotentiating effects in multiple low dose streptozotocin (MLD-STZ) induced type diabetic mice. Brazilin was intraperitoneally administered for 5 consecutive days to MLD-STZ induced type I diabetic mice. Delayed type
Brazilin was examined for its effects on the induction of immunological tolerance. Brazilin was administered to C57BL/6 female mice for 2 consecutive days before the immunization with high dose SRBC (10(9) cells) which can produce immunological tolerance. Delayed type hypersensitivity, IgM plaque
To investigate the effects of brazilin on the altered immune functions in the early phase of halothane intoxication in mice, several immune functions were investigated. Halothane was found to alter the immune functions which lead to hepatitis by autoimmune-mediated process. Based on the fact that
Brx-019 (acetic acid 3,6a,9-triacetoxy-6, 6a,7,11b-tetrahydro-indeno [2,1-c] chromen-10-yl ester) was derived from brazilin (CAS 474-07-7) during a trial designed to search for immunomodulators with lower toxicity and more effective immunomodulating activities than brazilin. Brx-019 was selected as
