Objective To investigate the block effect of amentoflavone (AF) on the inflammation of mouse BV-2 microglial cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods BV-2 microglial cells were treated with AF at different concentrations, and cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay to get the AF
This study was an investigation of the antimetastatic activity of amentoflavone using B16F-10 melanoma-induced experimental lung metastasis in C57BL/6 mice. Amentoflavone treatment significantly reduced tumor nodule formation accompanied by reduced lung collagen hydroxyproline, hexosamine, and
Psoriasis is a one of the most common chronic skin diseases, which affects 0.6-4.8% of the general population. Amentoflavone (AMF) belongs to the biflavonoid class of flavonoids, possessing various biological effects, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic effects. In the present
Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a well-known and important step in metastasis and thus can be a key target in cancer treatment. Here, we tested the EMT inhibitory actions of Selaginella tamariscina and its active component, amentoflavone (AF). EMT was examined in vitro using wound-healing
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by oxidative stress, leucocyte infiltration and upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of amentoflavone on a murine model of ulcerative colitis (UC). UC was induced by
Streptococcus suis, an important zoonotic pathogen, has caused considerable economic losses in the swine industry and severe public health issues worldwide. The development of a novel effective strategy for the prevention and therapy of S. suis is urgently needed. Here, amentoflavone, a natural
Flavonoids are naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds that have many biological properties, including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Here, we report that amentoflavone significantly reduced cell death induced by staurosporine, etoposide and sodium nitroprusside in
Some flavonoids have been shown to exhibit good antioxidant activity and protect mice from damage induced by radiation. Amentoflavone (AMF), a biflavonoid derived from the traditional herb-Selaginella tamariscina, has been reported to have antioxidant properties. The protective effects and mechanism
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to explore the mechanism by which amentoflavone (AME) improves insulin resistance in a human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2).
METHODS
A model of insulin resistant cells was established in HepG2 by treatment with high glucose and insulin. The
Ginkgo biloba L., well known as living fossil, have various pharmacological activities. Eighteen compounds were isolated from Ginkgo male flowers including a novel matsutake alcohol glycoside, Ginkgoside A (1), and 17 known compounds-calaliukiuenoside (2), benzylalcohol O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 →
Our previous studies found that 4 compounds, namely pseudohypericin, amentoflavone, quercetin, and chlorogenic acid, in Hypericum perforatum ethanol extract synergistically inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Microarray studies led us to
Hypericum perforatum (Hp) has been used medicinally to treat a variety of conditions including mild-to-moderate depression. Recently, several anti-inflammatory activities of Hp have been reported. An ethanol extract of Hp was fractionated with the guidance of an anti-inflammatory bioassay
BACKGROUND
Seed of Torreya nucifera (L.) Siebold & Zucc is used to treat several diseases in Asia. Reports document that T. nucifera has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative activities. In spite of numerous findings on its pharmacological effects, the understanding of the molecular
