herpetospermum/hepatitis

A new dihydrobenzofuran neolignan, herpepropenal, was isolated from the seeds of Herpetospermum caudigerum. Its chemical structure was established based on spectroscopic analysis. In this work, the inhibitory effects of herpepropenal on hepatitis B virus DNA and on the replication and expression of

From the ethanol extract of the seeds of Herpetospermum caudigerum wall, one new lignan compound 1, was isolated and characterized along with three known compounds 2, 3 and 4. The structure elucidation of the isolated new compound was performed on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence.

Herpetospermum caudigerum lignans (HTL), one of the potential drugs with anti-hepatitis B virus and hepatoprotective effects, has limited clinical applications because of poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability. Both herpetrione (HPE) and herpetin (HPN) are the most abundant ingredients in

Herpetone( HPT) is a bioactive lignan extracted from Herpetospermum pedunculosum,which can protect liver,lower aminotransferase and inhibit hepatitis B virus. However,HPT has a poor oral bioavailability due to its poor water solubility. And there is no report about whether HPT has an anti-hepatic

BACKGROUND The ripe seeds of Herpetospermum caudigerum have been used in Tibetan folk medicine for treatment of bile or liver diseases including jaundice, hepatitis, intumescences or inflammation. Previously reports suggested that the seed oil and some lignans from H. caudigerum exhibited protective

Tibetan medicine Herpetospermum caudigerum Wall. (HCW) has long been employed to treat hepatitis, inflammatory diseases and jaundice according to the records of "The Four Medical Tantras" in China. This study was investigated to explore the protective effects of HCW on hepatic fibrosis and the

Liver disease is one of the most risk factors threatening human health. It is of great significance to find drugs that can treat liver diseases, especially for acute and chronic hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and liver cancer. The search for drugs with good efficacy from traditional

Phytochemical investigation on the seeds of Herpetospermum caudigerum afforded two new coumarin glycosides A and B (1 and 2), together with a known compound herpetolide A (3). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods, including 2D NMR techniques. Compound 3 exhibited cytotoxicity

The goal of this research was to evaluate the anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activities of three compounds extracted and purified from Herpetospermum seeds (HS) on HepG2.2.15 cells. Herpetin (HPT), herpetone (HPO), and herpetfluorenone (HPF) were isolated from HS and identified using HR-ESI-MS and
