Honokiol (HNK) is a pharmacologically active small molecule that is isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb, houpu. It may induce diversified types of regulated cell death, which are dependent on different cell types and varying concentrations of therapeutic agent. We previously
Honokiol is a pharmacologically active small molecule with multifunctional antitumor effects. Although plenty of literature is available on honokiol-triggered apoptosis and programmed necrosis, few studies have investigated the potential existence of death mode transition from apoptosis to
Objective: To investigate the effect and intrinsic mechanism of Honokiol (HNK) enhanced tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) on hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Methods: HepG2 cells were routinely cultured. Firstly, a concentration gradient of HNK was given to observe
In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory effects of honokiol in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs). RASFs pre-treated with honokiol (0-20 μM) were stimulated with TNF-α (20 ng/ml). The levels of
This study aims to investigate the effects of honokiol on proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). We found that honokiol treatment showed potent inhibitory effects on TNF-α-induced RASMC proliferation, which were
Honokiol is a biphenolic isolate extracted from the bark of the magnolia tree that has been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, and has more recently been investigated for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Honokiol has previously been demonstrated to improve survival
To develop newer and more effective chemopreventive agents for skin cancer, we assessed the effect of honokiol, a phytochemical from the Magnolia plant, on ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced skin tumorigenesis using the SKH-1 hairless mouse model. Topical treatment of mice with honokiol in a
Severe acute pancreatitis remains a life-threatening disease with a high mortality rate among a defined proportion of those affected. Apoptosis has been hypothesized to be a beneficial form of cell death in acute pancreatitis. Honokiol, a low-molecular-weight natural product, possesses the ability
Honokiol, a small-molecule polyphenol derived and isolated from the Chinese medicinal herb Magnolia officinalis, has been shown to possess a wide range of pharmacological activities. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of honokiol on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced
Temozolomide (TMZ)-induced chemoresistance to human glioblastomas is a critical challenge now. Our previous studies showed that honokiol, a major bioactive constituent of Magnolia officinalis (Houpo), can kill human glioblastoma cells and suppresses glioblastoma growth. This study was further
The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute and sub-chronic toxicity of honokiol microemulsion. In the acute toxicity tests, the mice were intravenously injected graded doses of honokiol microemulsion and were observed for toxic symptoms and mortality daily for 14 days. In the sub-chronic
Aristolochic acids (AA) are nephrotoxic agents found in Aristolochia species whose consumption leads to the onset of a progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis. This AA-nephropathy was first reported during the Belgian outbreak of the 1990's in which more than a hundred patients consumed slimming
Inflammation is a normal physiological process; however, dysregulation of this process may contribute to inflammatory-based chronic disorders and diseases in animals and humans. Therefore, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of natural products, often recognized in traditional medicine
One way to link chronic inflammation with cancer is through the intrinsic inflammatory pathway, in which genetic alterations that induce malignant transformation also produce a cancer-promoting, inflammatory microenvironment. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) contributes to
Honokiol and magnolol, two major phenolic constituents of Magnolia sp., have been known to exhibit antibacterial activities. However, until now, their antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium sp. has not been reported. To this end, the antibacterial activities of honokiol and magnolol were
