The effects of lucidone on tyrosinase and antimelanogenic activity were investigated. Initially, we found that lucidone strongly inhibits the activity of mushroom tyrosinase. The effects of lucidone on tyrosinase were further examined in alpha-MSH-induced B16 melanoma cells. Lucidone significantly
Upon screening of plant-derived natural products against hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the replicon system, we demonstrate that lucidone, a phytocompound, isolated from the fruits of Lindera erythrocarpa Makino, significantly suppressed HCV RNA levels with 50% effective concentrations of 15 ± 0.5 μM
Here, we investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of lucidone, a phytocompound isolated from the fruits of Lindera erythrocarpa Makino, against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute systemic inflammation in mice. Male ICR mice were injected intraperitoneally with LPS (5 microg/kg), and the
We investigated the protective effects of lucidone, a naturally occurring cyclopentenedione isolated from the fruits of Lindera erythrocarpa Makino, against free-radical and inflammation stimulator 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH)-induced oxidative stress in human keratinocyte
Excessive microglial activation-mediated neurotoxicity has been implicated in playing a crucial role in the pathogenesis of stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, much attention has been paid to therapeutic strategies aimed at suppressing neurotoxic microglial activation. The microglial
