Momordica grosvenori (Luo Han Guo), grown primarily in Guangxi province in China, has been traditionally used for thousands of years by the Chinese to make hot drinks for the treatment of sore throat and the removal of phlegm. The natural noncaloric sweetening triterpenoid glycosides (mogrosides)
Liver fibrosis has been emphasized as a serious threat to human health. There is currently no effective clinical drug treatment. Although mogrosides (MGs) have extensive pharmacological effects with minimal toxicity, their effects on liver function, inflammation, matrix metalloproteinases and
Mogrosides are a group of triterpenoidal saponins from the fruit of Siraitia grosvenorii Swingle; they are intensely sweet and have consequently been used as a substitute for sugar by the food industry. The lack of efficient methods to produce specific mogrosides has hindered investigation of the
Mogroside V is the most abundant (approximately 0.50%) cucurbitane-type triterpene glycoside in Siraitia grosvenorii and exhibits significant antitussive, expectorant, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory effects. A sensitive, robust and selective liquid chromatography tandem with mass
The incidence of pancreatitis (AP) is increasing and there is no specific treatment available. Intracellular digestive enzyme activation is a key event in the pathogenesis of AP downstream of cytosolic calcium overload and impaired autophagy. Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) was used in
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive fibrotic lung disease, and eventually most patients develop respiratory failure with a median survival rate of 2 to 3 years after diagnosis due to the lack of clinically effective therapies. Mogroside IIIE (MGIIIE), a cucurbitane-type compound, was
Acute lung injury (ALI) often leads to high mortality, and there is as yet no effective drug treatment. The present study aimed to investigate protective effects of mogroside IIIE (MGIIIE, a cucurbitane-type triterpenoid from Siraitia grosvenorii Fruits) in experimental ALI and its underlying
BACKGROUND
Mogroside V, a compound isolated from Momordica grosvenori Swingle, which belongs to the Cucurbitaceae, is a traditional Chinese medicine reported to have anti-inflammatory potential in murine macrophages and a murine ear edema model.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects and mechanisms of
The purpose of this study was to observe the islet changes of pancreas in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) mice in comparison to normal mice after application of an extract from Siraitia grosvenori fruits containing mogrosides, in particular, mogroside V. We hypothesized that mogroside
As one kind of complications of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can influence the health of maternal-child in clinical practice. The C57 BL/KsJdb/+(db/+) mice, genetic GDM model, and C57 BL/KsJ+/+ (wild-type) mice were purchased and classified into three groups: normal pregnancy (C57
We investigated the antiasthmatic effect of mogroside V (Mog V) in mice with ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma. Administration of Mog V effectively attenuated OVA-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and reduced the number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Histological
Momordica grosvenori is a valuable edible plant with medicinal purposes, and it is widely used in medicated diets and traditional Chinese medicine in Asia. Mogroside V (MV), the main bioactive component from M. grosvenori, is commonly used as a natural sweetener. M. grosvenori extracts have been
Animal models, notably with non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist MK801, are commonly used to investigate the mechanisms of schizophrenia and to pursue its mechanism-related drug discoveries.In the current study, we have extensively examined the Cucurbitadienol has anti-inflammation, anti-cancer activities, and acts as a precursor of traditional Chinese medicine active ingredients mogroside and cucurbitacine. For construction of a Sacchromyces cerevisiae cell factory for production of cucurbitadienol, we firstly cloned a cucurbitadienol
