Magnolol is a traditional Chinese medicine from the root and bark of Magnolia officinalis. It has long been used to treat anxiety, cough, headache and allergies, as well as a variety of inflammations. Lung inflammation is a key event in the pathogenesis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary
Magnolol, a tradition Chinese herb, displays an array of activities including antifungal, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects. To investigate the protective effect of magnolol on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. ALI was induced in mice by intratracheal
Magnolol, a substance purified from the bark of Magnolia officialis, inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells. The aim of this study was to study the effects of magnolol on CGTH W-2 thyroid carcinoma cells. After 24 h treatment with 80 microM magnolol in
The protective effect of magnolol, a component of Magnolia officinalis, against hypoxia-induced cell injury in cortical neuron-astrocyte mixed cultures was examined. Exposure of the cells to chemical hypoxia (0.5 mM KCN) produced morphological changes in neurons but not in astrocytes. KCN induced
Magnolol is a compound extracted from the Chinese medicinal herb Magnolia officinalis. It has multiple pharmacological effects, notably as an anti-oxidant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of magnolol on sepsis induced by intravenous (i.v.) administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS;
Acute liver failure (ALF), an often fatal condition characterized by massive hepatocyte necrosis, is frequently caused by drug poisoning, particularly with acetaminophen (N-acetyl-p-aminophenol/APAP). Hepatocyte necrosis is consecutive to glutathione (GSH) depletion and mitochondrial damage caused
Osteoarthritis (OA), defined as a long-term progressive joint disease, is characterized by cartilage impairment and erosion. In recent decades, magnolol, as a type of lignin extracted from Magnolia officinalis, has been proved to play a potent anti-inflammatory role in various diseases. The
Magnolol, a constituent of the bark of Magnolia officinalis, has been reported to decrease myocardial stunning and infarct size. In this study, we investigated whether magnolol can reduce renal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Renal I/R, induced by a 60-min occlusion of bilateral renal
Magnolol is a Chinese herb that has potent antioxidant effects. This study evaluated the effect of magnolol in the treatment of severe injury using a two-hit model in Sprague-Dawley rats. Hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation was performed. Intra-abdominal sepsis was induced by cecal ligation
1. In a previous study, we showed that magnolol, a potent antioxidant derived from a Chinese herb, attenuates monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) expression and intimal hyperplasia in the balloon-injured aorta of cholesterol-fed rabbits. Expression of cell adhesion molecules by the arterial
BACKGROUND
Increased proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contribute importantly to the formation of both atherosclerotic and restenotic lesions. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of magnolol on VSMC migration.
METHODS
The proteolytic activity
BACKGROUND
Proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to the development of vascular remodeling. Recently, magnolol has been reported to have a potential role in regulating tumor necrosis factor α-induced proliferation of VSMCs. However, the role of magnolol in
BACKGROUND
Endovascular injury induces switching of contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to synthetic phenotype, thereby causing proliferation of VSMCs leading to intimal thickening. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of magnolol on the proliferation of VSMCs
OBJECTIVE
In the present study, we investigated the effects of Magnolol on the retinal neovascularization (RNV) and local glial cells in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model and explored their molecular mechanisms.
METHODS
Neonatal C57BL/6J mice were subjected to 75% O2 ± 5% from postnatal day
Aristolochic acids (AA) are nephrotoxic agents found in Aristolochia species whose consumption leads to the onset of a progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis. This AA-nephropathy was first reported during the Belgian outbreak of the 1990's in which more than a hundred patients consumed slimming
