iris domestica/消炎（药

In order to explore the anti-inflammatory activity and active ingredient basis from the leaves of the Belamcanda chinensis and Iris tectorum, we established an HPLC method for simultaneous determination of six anti-inflammatory active ingredient contents in the root of the B. chinensis and I.

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 5,7-dihydr-oxy-3-(4-hydroxy-phen-yl)-6-meth-oxy-4H-chromen-4-one monohydrate], C(16)H(12)O(6)·H(2)O, is isolated from Belamcanda chinensis and is said to have anti-microbiotic and anti-inflammatory effects. The chromen-4-one system and the benzene ring are

In the present study, we investigated antiinflammatory effects of six flavonoids isolated from the rhizomes of Belamcanda chinensis (Iridaceae) in RAW 264.7 macrophages. The results indicated that irigenin concentration dependently inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) and

Ultraviolet (UV) light, a major risk factor for external skin photoaging, induces oxidative stress in skin. UV causes a breakdown of skin homeostasis by impairing the extracellular matrix and inducing cell death. Tectorigenin, a constituent of leopard lily (Belamcanda chinensis L.) rhizome,

BACKGROUND Isoflavonoids from Belamcanda chinensis are known to have a number of physiological benefits including anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and anti-mutagenic properties. However, there have been no reports on the effective isolation and purification of isoflavonoids from B.

OBJECTIVE Belamcanda chinensis has been used in oriental medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Tectorigenin is a main compound in B. chinensis and possess inhibitory activity against inflammatory responses. Thus, the current study aimed at evaluating toxicity as well as analgesic and

BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) [including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)] constitutes an important clinical problem. The pathogenesis of IBD remains unclear. It is believed that immune dysfunction, inflammatory mediators and oxidative damage play crucial roles in

Effects of compounds isolated from medicinal plants in Korea on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in rat peritoneal macrophages were examined, and mechanism of action of the active constituents was analyzed. The active constituents were as follows; tectorigenin and tectoridin isolated from the

Tectorigenin is a major isoflavone found in the flowers of Pueraria thomsonii Benth. and the rhizomes of Belamcanda chinensis (L.) DC. It possesses hepatoprotective, estrogenic, hypoglycemic and anti-inflammatory activities. In the present study, the plasma pharmacokinetic profile of tectorigenin in

Belamcanda chinensis has been extensively used as antibechic, expectorant and anti-inflammatory agent in traditional medicine. Irisflorentin is one of the major active ingredients. However, little is known about the metabolism of irisflorentin so far. In this work, rat liver microsomes (RLMs) were

Tectorigenin and tectoridin, isolated from the rhizomes of Korean Belamcanda chinensis (Iridaceae) which are used as Chinese traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammation, suppressed prostaglandin E2 production by rat peritoneal macrophages stimulated by the protein kinase C activator,

Belamcandae chinensis rhizoma, is a rhizome of Iris domestica (syn. Belamcanda chinensis). Under the Chinese name she gan, it is extensively used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and other East Asian phytotherapy systems. Recently, the monograph of Belamcandae chinensis rhizoma has been included in

Tectorigenin (Tg) and tectoridin (Td) are the major compounds isolated from the rhizomes of iridaceous plant Belamcanda chinensis which is well known as a chinese traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. In this study we investigated whether tectorigenin and tectoridin can be
