BACKGROUND
Centipeda minima (L.) is traditionally used in Chinese folk medicine for the treatments of rhinitis, sinusitis, relieving pain, reducing swelling, and treating cancer for a long history in Taiwan. However, there is no scientific evidence which supports the use in the
BACKGROUND
Acute systemic inflammatory response syndrome arising from infection can lead to multiple organ failure and death, with greater susceptibility occurring in immunocompromised individuals. Moreover, sub-acute chronic inflammation is a contributor to the pathology of diverse degenerative
Neuroinflammation is one of the critical events in neurodegenerative diseases, whereas microglia play an important role in the pathogenesis of neuroinflammation. In this study, we investigated the effects of a natural sesquiterpene lactone, 6-O-angeloylplenolin (6-OAP), isolated from the traditional
UNASSIGNED
Sesquiterpene lactones are plant-derived, natural, bioactive molecules often used against inflammatory diseases in traditional Chinese medicines. Recently, sesquiterpene lactones have been reported to exhibit potent anticancer activity. In the present study, we have investigated the
OBJECTIVE
To study the anti-inflammation effect of volatile oil of Centipeda minima and the mechanism of action.
METHODS
The animal model was induced by the Car injection into intrapleural of rats, to observe the effect of VOCM on acute inflammation.
RESULTS
VOCM was able to inhibit the increase of
A compound was isolated from Centipeda minima using bioassay-guided screening. The structure of this compound was elucidated based on its spectral data, and it was identified as helenalin. The hepatoprotective effect of helenalin was evaluated using a liver fibrosis model induced by intragastric
Acute liver injury is a life-threatening syndrome that often caused by hepatocyte damage and is characterized by inflammatory and oxidative responses. Helenalin isolated from Centipeda minima (HCM) has been found to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. Here, this study aimed to
Centipeda minima (L.) A.Br. (C. minima) has been used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine to treat nasal allergy, diarrhea, asthma and malaria for centuries. Recent pharmacological studies have demonstrated that the ethanol extract of C. minima (ECM) and several active components
