Inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1α (IL-1α) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), induce the intracellular signaling pathway leading to the activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). A series of eudesmane-type sesquiterpene lactones possessing an α-methylene γ-lactone group and/or an α-bromo
A detailed phytochemical investigation of a dichloromethane extract of the resinous exudates of the cushion bush plant (Leucophyta brownii) resulted in the isolation of the new 8,12-guaianolides leucophytalins A (5) and B (6), the new 1,10-seco-eudesmane leucophytalin C (10), six rare
Nine new sesquiterpenoid lactones and 11 known analogues were isolated from the aerial parts of Salvia plebeia R.Br. Their structures were elucidated via HRESIMS and NMR data, and their absolute configurations were defined via electronic circular dichroism data, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and
Eleven sesquiterpenoids have been isolated from the whole plants of Youngia japonica (Asteraceae). Among these sesquiterpenoids, five were identified as new compounds on the basis of spectroscopic methods and chemical analysis. Their structures were
The transcription factor nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) regulates various biological processes, including inflammatory responses. We previously reported that eudesmane-type sesquiterpene lactones inhibited multiple steps in the canonical NF-κB signaling pathway induced by tumor necrosis factor-α and
BACKGROUND
Salvia plebeia R. Brown, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, has been used to treat inflammatory diseases such as cough, hepatitis, and diarrhea for a long history.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify potential anti-inflammatory agents from the herb of S.
Pluchea odorata is ethno pharmaceutically used to treat inflammation-associated disorders. The dichloromethane extract (DME) was tested in the carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema assay investigating its effect on inflammation that was inhibited by 37%. Also an in vitro anti-neoplastic potential was
The flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum, i.e. Ye-ju-hua recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, has been widely used in China as an important heat-clearing and detoxifying herb for the treatment of inflammation, headache, and vertigo. A phytochemical investigation of this herb has led to the isolation
The work presented here is the first study performed on the biotransformation and/or metabolism of atractylenolide I (1) as a valuable anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive agent, using liver microsomes from rats pre-treated with sodium phenobarbital. Two known eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoid
The traditionally used Central American medicinal plant Pluchea odorata, known as an anti-inflammatory and cancer cell growth-inhibiting remedy, was subjected to bioassay-guided isolation. Structure elucidation by 1D- and 2D-NMR and MS techniques supported by ECD and UV spectroscopic data revealed
The rhizomes of Homalomena occulta are called Qian-nian-jian in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is widely consumed in China owing to its health benefits for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and for strengthening tendons and bones. A phytochemical investigation on this famous TCM
Thirteen new sesquiterpenoids, arteannoides F-R (1-13), along with 13 known analogues (14-26), were isolated from the dried aerial parts of Artemisia annua L. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were unambiguously determined by a combination of physical data analyses (HRESIMS, 1D
Eudesmane-type sesquiterpenes are natural sesquiterpenes with anti-inflammatory properties, but their anti-angiogenic activities are not known. The present study demonstrated that 5α-hydroxycostic acid and hydroxyisocostic acid, two eudesmane-type sesquiterpenes (ETSs), isolated from the herb
BACKGROUND
Costus speciosus (Koen ex. Retz.) Sm. (crepe ginger, family Costaceae) is an ornamental plant used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammation, rheumatism, bronchitis, fever, headache, asthma, flatulence, constipation, helminthiasis, leprosy, skin diseases, hiccough, anemia,
A phytochemical investigation of Inula falconeri, a plant endemic to the Himalayas, afforded 10 new sesquiterpenoids and 26 known sesquiterpene lactones, including those bearing guaiane, pseudoguaiane, xanthane, eudesmane, germacrane, rare secocaryophyllane, chromolaevane, and carabrane frameworks.
