justicidin/inflammation

In the course of our study aimed at developing new types of DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs), we found that quinoline derivative 1a had a potent anti-inflammatory effect in an adjuvant arthritis (AA) rat model, starting from the potent bone resorption inhibitors justicidins as the lead

Four compounds, including one benzenoid, 4-O-methylgallic acid (1), together with three arylnaphthalide lignans, namely phyllamyricin C (2), justicidin B (3) and diphyllin (4) were isolated from the whole plants of Phyllanthus polyphyllus L. (Euphorbiaceae). This was the first isolation report of

BACKGROUND Sphenodesme involucrata var. paniculata (C. B. Clarke) Munir is native as well as endemic to South India. Its leaves are used in folklore medicine to treat pain and rheumatism. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to investigate the chemical characterization, anti-nociceptive and mode of action

DW2008 is an anhydrous ethanol extract of Justicia procumbens produced by Dong-Wha Pharmaceutical, Inc., Co. as a candidate anti-asthmatic drug. In this study, DW2008 selectively reduced T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines in mouse splenocytes and ameliorated ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation by

Adverse effects and drug resistance to the current onchopharmacologicals have increased the demand for alternative novel therapeutics. We herein introduce justicidin B, an arylnaphthalen lignan isolated from different plant origins, especially Justicia, Phyllanthus, Haplophyllum and Linum species.

Our previous study revealed that the ethanolic extract of Justicia procumbens ameliorates ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness in a mouse model of asthma. However, the mechanism of action of the extract remains unknown. In this study, we prepared DW2008S, an
