Following a short treatment for irritable bowel with the following herbs: Astragalus propinquus, Codonopsis pilosula, Paeonia sp., Atractylodes macrocephala, Pueraria sp., Poria cocos, Dioscorea opposita, Patriniae, Psoralea corylifolia, Alpinia katsumadai, Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Dolomiaea
OBJECTIVE
Psoralea corylifolia (PC) is an herb widely used in medicine for the treatment of a variety of ailment. PC is also known to have immunomodulatory activity. However, its mechanism of action is not known. In the present study we investigated effect of PC on nitric oxide (NO) and tumour
Coumarins are a very common type of secondary plant metabolites with a broad spectrum of biological activities. Psoralidin is a naturally occurring furanocoumarin isolated from Psoralea corylifolia possessing anticancer and chemopreventive properties. Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing
BACKGROUND
Modern studies have shown that psoralen has a significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth in a variety of animals and humans.
OBJECTIVE
To obtain coumarin compounds - psoralen and isopsoralen - from traditional Chinese medicine Psoralea corylifolia L. using chromatographic techniques
The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of (S)-bakuchiol isolated from the seed of Psoralea corylifolia, on liver injury. Primary rat hepatocyte intoxication was induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBH), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) or D-galactosamine (D-GalN). Liver injury
Preclinical Research & Development Angelicin is a furocoumarin derived from Psoralea corylifolia L. fruit that has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activity. In the present study, the effect of angelicin in enhancing tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptotic
OBJECTIVE
Neobavaisoflavone (NBIF), an isoflavone isolated from Psoralea corylifolia (Leguminosae), has striking anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. NBIF inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo.
METHODS
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)
Changes in mitochondrial ATP synthesis can affect the function of tumor cells due to the dependence of the first step of glycolysis on mitochondrial ATP. The oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system is responsible for the synthesis of approximately 90% of the ATP in normal cells and up to 50% in
BACKGROUND
Angelicin is a furocoumarin found in Psoralea corylifolia L. fruit. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective ability of angelicin against inflammation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and LPS-induced in vivo acute lung injury model.
METHODS
The
Numerous compounds detected in medical plants and dietary components or supplements possess chemopreventive, antitumor and immunomodulatory properties. Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is an important endogenous anticancer factor that induces apoptosis selectively in
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex multi-system and age-related neurodegenerative disorder. The intervention targeting neuroinflammation in PD patients is one effective strategy to slow down or inhibit disease progression. Microglia-mediated inflammatory response plays an important role in
Psoralen is the principal bioactive component in the dried fruits of Cullen corylifolium (L.) Medik (syn. Psoralea corylifolia L), termed "Buguzhi" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Recent studies have demonstrated that psoralen displays multiple bioactive properties, beneficial
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and chronic inflammation with limited therapeutic options. Psoralen, a major active component extracted from Psoralea corylifolia L. seed, has several biological effects.
Psoralea corylifolia is a medicinal herb that provides advantageous pharmacological effects against vitiligo and skin rash. Former studies have shown that bakuchicin, a furanocoumarin compound from the fruits of P. corylifolia, has therapeutic effects against inflammation, and infection. This study
BACKGROUND
Inflammation has been found to be associated with many neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's and dementia. Attenuation of microglia-induced inflammation is a strategy that impedes the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
METHODS
We used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to
