The iridoid compound genipin (GNP) is a geniposide hydrolysate of β-glucosidase. GNP has many pharmacological effects, including antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammation effects. However, its exact target and mechanism of action remain poorly understood. In this study, the binding of GNP
Rotavirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis among young children worldwide. However, agents specifically designed to treat rotavirus infection have not been developed yet. In this study, the anti-rotavirus and anti-inflammatory effects of genipin, a chemical compound found in the fruit
Genipin, an aglycon of geniposide, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effect. However, the anti-inflammatory activity of genipin on LPS-stimulated BV2 microglial cells has not been reported. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms responsible for the anti-inflammatory
Genipin is a natural blue colorant in food industry. Inflammation is correlated with human disorders, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is the critical molecule involved in inflammation. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of genipin on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute systemic
A number of natural polymer biomaterial-based nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) are developed to facilitate repair of peripheral nerve injuries. Cross-linking ensures mechanical integrity and desired degradation properties of the NGCs; however, common methods such as formaldehyde are associated with
Genipin, as the most effective ingredient of various traditional medications, encompasses antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial capacities. More recently, it is suggested that genipin protects against septic liver damage by restoring autophagy. The purpose of the current study was to
OBJECTIVE
The edible blue pigments produced by gardenia fruits have been used as value-added colorants for foods in East Asia for 20 years. However, the biological activity of the blue pigments derived from genipin has not been reported.
RESULTS
The anti-inflammatory effect of blue pigments was
Cisplatin (CP) is a potent and widely used chemotherapeutic agent. However, the clinical benefits of CP are compromised because it elicits nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. In this study, we investigated the nephroprotective effects of the phytochemical genipin (GP) isolated from the gardenia
Genipin is one of the major component in Gardenis fruit, which has long been used in the treatment of many chronic diseases, such as colitis. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects and mechanism of genipin on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Colitis was
Chitosan is a polysaccharide commonly used, together with its derivatives, in the preparation of hydrogel formulations, scaffolds and films for tissue engineering applications. Chitosan can be used as such, but it is commonly stabilized by means of chemical crosslinkers. Genipin is one of the
OBJECTIVE
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women, and it is usually characterized by chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and altered microRNA expression. The aim of this study is to investigate how the effects of iridoids with genipin stem nucleus inhibit PCOS
Genipin, an aglycon of geniposide, has been reported to exhibit diverse pharmacological functions such as antitumor and anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed to elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of genipin, focusing particularly on the role of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a potent
Controlled release carriers are often made into microspheres or tablets. Systematic and quantitative characterization of porous tissue engineered scaffolds as release carriers have not been done. Chitosan and chitosan crosslinked with various concentrations of genipin were made into porous tissue
Microglia are the prime effectors in immune and inflammatory responses of the central nervous system (CNS). Under pathological conditions, the activation of these cells helps restore CNS homeostasis. However, chronic microglial activation endangers neuronal survival through the release of various
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,
