Two new steroidal saponins, namely (25R)-5beta-spirostan-3-beta-ol 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1'''-->4'')-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1''-->3')-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), and (25R)-5beta-spirostan-3-beta-ol

Two new steroidal saponins, named drangustosides A-B (1-2), together with eight known compounds were isolated and characterized from the MeOH extract of Dracaena angustifolia Roxb. The structures of compounds were assigned based on 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses, including HMQC, HMBC, and

As an important integral part of traditional Chinese medicine chemical biology( TCMCB),it is of great importance to rapid isolate,and reliably identify the chemical components in herbal medicines. Phytochemical studies on the anti-inflammatory active part of Chinese dragon's blood,the red resin of

The etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is not yet known, but many factors such as defects in the immune system, oxidative stress, microbial content in the gastrointestinal tract, nuclear factor (NF)-κB, nitric oxide (NO), cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2), and leukotriene B4 (LB4) are thought to

Four new steroidal sapogenins, dracaenogenins CF (1-4), a new conjugated chalcone-stilbene, 3''-methoxycochinchinenene H (5) together with eight known compounds namely, (25S)-spirosta-1,4-dien-3-one (6), trans-resveratrol (7), 4,4'-dihydroxy-3'-methoxychalcone (8), N-trans-coumaroyltyramine (9),

A new steroidal saponin, mannioside A (1), was isolated from the stem bark of Dracaena mannii, together with the known pennogenin (2), pennogenin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3) and pennogenin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4). Their

BACKGROUND Sanguis draxonis (SD) is a kind of red resin obtained from the wood of Dracaena cochinchinensis (Lour.) S. C. Chen (D. cochinchinensis). The active components of total flavonoids from SD (SDF) have analgesic effect. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effects and

BACKGROUND Dragon's Blood (DB), the red resin of Dracaena cochinchinensis (Lour.) S. C., has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat acute myocardial infarction (AMI) for centuries. Evidence indicated that DB may exert cardio-protective effect by inhibiting inflammatory response during

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) often results in multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome with high mortality. There is no effective clinical therapy for SAP, yet daphnetin, a coumarin extracted from Dracaena marginata, has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, and has been used clinically in several

Chinese dragon's blood, the red resin of Dracaena cochinchinensis, one of the famous traditional medicines, has been used to promote blood circulation, disperse blood stasis, stop bleeding, relieve pain and muscle regeneration for thousands of years. The aims of this study were to evaluate the
