Matrine is one of the main active components of Chinese herb Sophora flavescens Ait (Kushen), which has been demonstrated to be effective in suppressing inflammation. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of matrine on LPS-induced lung injury. Lung injury was assessed by
Matrine (Mat) and oxymatrine are two major alkaloids of the Chinese herb Sophora flavescens Ait. (Leguminosae). Previous study has demonstrated that Mat reduces brain edema induced by focal cerebral ischemia. More recently, oxymatrine has been reported to produce neuroprotective effects against
Recent studies have suggested that protein kinase C (PKC) may be involved in the formation of brain edema. In this paper, the effects of two kinds of PKC inhibitors, H-7 and matrine, were examined on the brain edema formation in experimental models. The results showed that pretreatment with H-7 6.25
BACKGROUND
Matrine has been proven to protect ischemic injury in brain and sophoridine (SOP) is an isomeride of matrine. It is unknown whether SOP has this protective effect on ischemic injury in brain. We therefore investigated the potential neuroprotective role of SOP and the underlying
Background: Ischemic encephalopathy is a common clinical disease. The main treatment goal is to achieve vascular recanalization. However, after vascular recanalization, the reperfusion of fresh blood can change local cell metabolism, thus
Matrine is a quinolizidine alkaloid derived from the herb Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, and possesses anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral properties. However, its effectiveness against subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is not well known. In this study, we investigated the effects of matrine
Matrine (C15H24N2O) is an alkaloid extracted from the Chinese herb Sophora flavescens that has anti-fibrotic and anti-cancer properties. The aim of the present study was to determine the chemopreventive effect of matrine on the development of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its
