nepetin/inula

Nepetin derived from the flowers of Inula japonica, Inulae flos, has been reported to exert several biological activities, including anti-inflammatory responses. In this study, we evaluated the anti-allergic property of nepetin with its molecular mechanisms in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC)

We previously reported 12 antioxidative flavonoids isolated from the n-BuOH extract of Inula britannica (Asteraceae). This prompted us to investigate further whether these flavonoids also showed antioxidative activity upon live cells grown in a culture system. Among the 12 flavonoids tested, only

BACKGROUND Flowers of Inula montana L. (Asteraceae), commonly known as "Arnica de Provence", are used in the traditional medicine of Provence in France with the same indication as Arnica montana, for the relief of bruises, as an anti-inflammatory agent. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study is to evaluate

The antiproliferative and antimicrobial effects of thirteen compounds isolated from Inula viscosa (L.) were tested in this study. The antiproliferative activity was tested against three cell lines using the MTT assay. The microdilution method was used to study the antimicrobial activity against two
