ecballium/抗真菌药

OBJECTIVE To present a rare occurrence in ear, nose and throat practice of upper airway allergic edema from use of juice extracted from the fruit of Ecballium elaterium. BACKGROUND Ecballium elaterium is a plant indigenous to the Mediterranean region that bears the common name squirting cucumber.

This study was designated to investigate anti-inflammatory effect of aqueous extract of Ecballium elaterium, which is topically applied for treatment of rhinosinusitis as a traditional folk medicine in Turkey. Therapeutic potential of E. elaterium as an anti-inflammatory agent was examined by

Despite recent advances in antibiotic therapy, sepsis remains a major clinical challenge in intensive care units. Here we examined the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of Ecballium elaterium (EE) on brain, and explored its therapeutic potential in an animal model of sepsis-associated

BACKGROUND Cystine-knot miniproteins, also known as knottins, have shown great potential as molecular scaffolds for the development of targeted therapeutics and diagnostic agents. For this purpose, previous protein engineering efforts have focused on knottins based on the Ecballium elaterium trypsin

Studying protease/peptide inhibitor interactions is a useful tool for understanding molecular recognition in general and is particularly relevant for the rational design of inhibitors with therapeutic potential. An inhibitory peptide (PMTLEYR) derived from the third domain of turkey ovomucoid

Despite progress in chemotherapeutic agents, non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) still have a poor survival rate. Thus, development of new therapeutic strategies, specifically against cancer cells is still required. For this purpose, we treated the non-small cell lung cancer cell line NSCLC-N6 with

OBJECTIVE This study reports on the ethnobotanical and phytomedical knowledge in one of the oldest European Parks, the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park (Central Italy). We selected this area because we judged the long history of nature preservation as an added value potentially encouraging
