Cimicifuga species have been used as traditional medicinal herbs to treat inflammation and symptoms associated with menopause in Asia, Europe, and North America. However, the underlying mechanism of their anti-inflammatory effects remains to be investigated. With bioactivity guided purification
Five undescribed cycloartane triterpenoids, including two cycloartane trinor-triterpenoids, were isolated from a 70% ethanol extract of the whole plant of Actaea vaginata (Ranunculaceae), together with thirteen known cycloartane triterpenoids. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic
Background and purpose: IL-1β, mainly produced by macrophages via the NLRP3 inflammasome, mediates the inflammatory crosstalk between macrophages and adipocytes. In our previous study, AEDC
Two new cycloartenol triterpene saponins, 3β,16α-dihydroxy-12-acetoxy-16,22-cyclo-23-ketone-24R,25-epoxy-cycloartane-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (1), 3β,16α-dihydroxy-12-acetoxy-16,22-cyclo-23-ketone-24R,25-epoxy-cycloartane-7-ene-3-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (2), were isolated from the ethyl acetate
Ten cycloart-7-ene triterpenoid glycosides, including three new compounds (1-3), were isolated from the roots of Cimicifuga dahurica. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses, chemical methods and comparison with literatures. In addition,
Actaea spicata Linn. (Ranunculaceae) has been traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments such as rheumatism, inflammation, nerve diseases, lumbago, scrofula and chorea, but no systematic phytochemical and pharmacological work has ever been carried out on this potential plant.
Actein is isolated from the rthizomes of Cimicifuga foetida, which is a triterpene glycoside, displaying suppressive effects on breast cancer cells proliferation. However, the effects of actein treatment on liver injury, tending to cancer, have little to be known. Thus, the study is conducted to
BACKGROUND
Cimicifuga foetida L., a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic remedy. The primary active constituents are believed to be present in the triterpene glycoside fraction.
METHODS
To develop an LC-MS/MS assay for four major
The aim of the present study was to assess the anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) effect of Cimicifuga foetida L. (C. foetida) in the patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). A total of 60 randomly selected patients with CHB were recruited and divided into groups I and II. The patients in group I received
Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) has been used as therapeutics for pain and inflammation in Korean folk medicine. The potential effects of black cohosh extract (BCE) on mast cell-dependent allergy reaction, however, have not been well elucidated yet. In the present study, we investigated the
Previous studies indicate that the herb black cohosh (Actaea racemosa L.) and the triterpene glycoside actein inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells and activate stress-associated responses. This study assessed the transcriptomic effects of black cohosh and actein on rat liver tissue, using
Cimicifuga simplex is a medicinal herb which has a wide range of biological activities. We isolated seven 9,19-cycloartenol glycosides from the roots of C. simplex, and among the glycosides, G3 exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on immune responses, including suppressing the differentiation
Cimicifugoside, a triterpenoid isolated from Cimicifuga simplex, which has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic or anti-pyretic action, was examined for inhibition of nucleoside transport and synergistic potentiation of methotrexate cytotoxicity.
