aristolactam/inflammation

Astragalin was isolated for the first time along with (-)hinokinin, aristolactam I and aristolochic acids (I & II) from the extracts of Aristolochia indica L. using a new, efficient preparative HPLC method. A reversed-phase HPLC method of analysis was developed to analyse the isolated compounds. The

Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy (ART), efforts to develop new classes of antiviral agents have been hampered by the emergence of drug resistance. Dibenzo-indole-bearing aristolactams are compounds that have been isolated from various plants species and which show several clinically

The new aristolactam alkaloid toussalactam {2-hydroxy-1,6-dimethoxy-5H-dibenzo[cdf]indol-4-one} and the known ones, namely aristolactam AII, aristolactam BII, piperolactam C and aristolactam FII; 1-(2-C-methyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-uracil, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and three

Plants in the family Aristolochiaceae contain phenanthrene skeleton-containing chemical constituents that exhibit nephrotoxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic effects. Two new phenanthrene-containing 1,2-oxazin-6-ones, designated as asaroidoxazine A (1) and

OBJECTIVE The histological features of aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) consist of paucicellular interstitial fibrosis, severe tubular atrophy, and almost intact glomeruli with media lesions of interlobular arteries. As an early phase of interstitial inflammation preceded peritubular fibrosis in
