Clivorine, a pyrrolizidine alkaloid extracted from Chinese medicinal plant Ligularia hodgsonii Hook significantly inhibited human normal liver L-02 cells proliferation and decreased L-02 cells viability. The results of western blot showed that clivorine strongly evoked phosphorylation of p38
Clivorine, a pyrrolizidine alkaloid, is a potent toxic compound extracted from a Chinese medicinal plant Ligularia hodgsonii Hook. We have previously shown that clivorine inhibited human normal liver L-02 cells proliferation and induced p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation. The aim
Clivorine is an otonecine-type pyrrolizidine alkaloid isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Ligularia hodgsonii Hook. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are well-known hepatotoxins widely distributed around the world. The present study sought to evaluate clivorineinduced oxidative injury in
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are well-known natural hepatotoxins. In this study, we investigated the protection of epidermal growth factor (EGF) against the hepatotoxicity of clivorine, which is an otonecine-type PA from traditional Chinese medicine Ligularia hodgsonii Hook. Cell viability assay
Clivorine is an otonecine-type pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) isolated from the Chinese medicinal plant Ligularia hodgsonii Hook., and our previous reports have shown its toxicity on human normal liver L-02 cells. It is generally believed that biotransformation of PAs to its metabolites is required for
The carcinogenic activity of clivorine, a pyrrolizidine alkaloid isolated from Ligularia dentata, was studied in inbred ACI rats. Twelve animals in the experimental group received a 0.005% solution of clivorine in drinking water for 340 days and survived beyond 440 days after the beginning of the
Pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) clivorine, isolated from traditional Chinese medicinal plant Ligularia hodgsonii Hook, has been shown to induce apoptosis in hepatocytes via mitochondrial-mediated apoptotic pathway in our previous research. The present study was designed to observe the protection of
BACKGROUND
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are commonly found in many plants including those used in medical therapeutics. The hepatotoxicities of PAs have been demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro; however, the neurotoxicities of PAs are rarely mentioned.
OBJECTIVE
In this study, we aimed to
Plants that contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are widely distributed, and PAs have been shown to be genotoxic and tumorigenic in experimental animals. Our recent mechanistic studies indicated that riddelliine, a tumorigenic retronecine type PA, induced tumors via a genotoxic mechanism mediated
Isoline, a major retronecine-type pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) from the Chinese medicinal herb Ligularia duciformis, was suggested to be the most toxic known PA. Its in vitro metabolism was thus examined in rat and mouse liver microsomes, and its toxicity was compared with that of clivorine and
Clivorine (1) and ligularine (2), two hepatotoxic otonecine-type pyrrolizidine alkaloids isolated from Ligularia hodgsonii, an antitussive traditional Chinese medicine, were investigated in CDCl(3) and D(2)O by various NMR techniques to delineate why this type of alkaloid displays uncharacteristic
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are natural hepatotoxins with worldwide distribution in more than 6000 high plants including medicinal herbs or teas. The aim of this study is to investigate the signal pathway involved in PAs-induced hepatotoxicity. Our results showed that clivorine, isolated from
