Morin, a bioactive flavonoid extracted from the bark of Moraceae plants and many medicinal herbs, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. In this research, we explored the protective effects of morin against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and d-galactosamine (D-GalN) induced acute liver injury in
The present study investigated the protective effect of morin, a natural flavonoid, on the imipenem-induced nephrotoxicity in rabbits. Nephrotoxicity of imipenem was examined after the intravenous administrations of imipenem (200 mg/kg) to rabbits in the presence and the absence of morin (12, 25, 50
OBJECTIVE
Free radicals are responsible for tissue injury in corneal preservation and transplantation. Morin hydrate, a flavonoid from Brazil wood, has been shown to be cytoprotective in several types of cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of morin hydrate on rabbit
The flavonoid morin was tested for anti-inflammatory activity in trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced rat colitis. Rats were pretreated orally with several doses of the flavonoid (5, 10, 25, 100 and 200 mg/kg) 48, 24 and 1 h before and 24 h after colitis induction and examined for colonic
Morin, a flavonoid isolated from Morus alba L. (Moraceae), possesses anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic among other biological activities. This study investigated its effect on type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rats and explored the underlying mechanisms in view of synovial angiogenesis.
Our previous studies had reported that morin decreased the interleukin-12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages, suggesting that morin may promote helper T type 2 (Th2) response in vivo. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of morin-5'-sulfonic acid sodium salt (NaMSA) on cyclophosphamide-induced gastrointestinal changes in rats.
METHODS
Rats received intragastrically 0.9% saline (group C), cyclophosphamide (15 mg/kg) (group CX), NaMSA (100 mg/kg) (group M) or
Morin hydrate, or simply morin, is shown here to be an effective hepatoprotector in vitro and in vivo. Between 0.25-2.0 mM, morin prolongs survival of rat hepatocytes against free radical damage triggered by xanthine oxidase-hypoxanthine, and substantially better than equimolar concentrations of
Morin hydrate is a bioactive pigment found in yellow Brazil wood. Recently, we reported that morin hydrate prolongs the survival of three types of cells from the human circulatory system against oxyradicals generated in vitro. The protection excels that given by equimolar concentrations of
Sulfur mustard (SM) is an alkylating agent, which has been used as in chemical warfare in a number of conflicts. As the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and adducts in DNA and proteins have been suggested as the mechanism underlying SM‑induced cytotoxicity, the present study screened
Therapeutic potential of morin, a member of flavonoid family, against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis in rats was investigated and compared with that of silymarin. Results show that treatment with morin (30 mg/kg/day) revealed attenuation in liver index and serum biomarkers of
This study aims to investigate the protective effects of morin hydrate (MH) against acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in mice and to elucidate the possible molecular mechanism of action. Mice were pretreated with MH (50 mg/kg body weight) or vehicle by oral gavage
OBJECTIVE
Ultraviolet-B (UVB) irradiation is a major inducer of DNA damage in the epidermis. Here we investigated the protective mechanism of polyphenolic phytonutrient, morin against UVB-induced DNA damage in human keratinocyte stem cells (KSC).
CONCLUSIONS
After confirming the characteristics of
OBJECTIVE
Morin is a flavone that exhibits antiproliferative, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory effects through a mechanism that is not well understood. Because of the role of transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) in the control of cell survival, proliferation, tumorigenesis, and
Oxidative stress plays a major role in myocardial injury. Morin, a bioflavonoid has known to possess various biological activities in previous studies. Hence, this study evaluated the cardioprotective mechanism(s) of Morin against isoproterenol induced myocardial necrosis in rats. Male albino Wistar
