Picrasma quassioides (D.Don) Benn. (PQ) is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, including gastritis. This study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of PQ on the inflammatory responses in mice with allergic asthma induced by ovalbumin (OVA) and in
During further chemical and biological investigations of Picrasma quassioides BENNET, four new bis-β-carboline alkaloids, quassidines E-H (1-4), and three new β-carboline alkaloids, canthin-16-one-14-butyric acid (5), 3-(1,1-dimethoxylmethyl)-β-carboline (6), and 6,12-dimethoxy-3-formyl-β-carboline
In the present study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of 4-methoxy-5- hydroxycanthin-6-one (CAN), a natural alkaloid isolated from Picrasma quassioides. CAN significantly inhibited the production of NO and the release of TNF-α induced by LPS in macrophage RAW 264.7. Western blot showed
In our previous study, fourty-eight compounds have been isolated and identified from the roots of Picrasma quassioides, which have been widely used as a traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and for detoxification as described in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. β-Carboline alkaloids are commonly
Picrasma quassioides (P. quassioides) has been widely used as a traditional Chinese medicine for clearing fever and detoxification. Previous phytochemical studies have identified a novel dihydrobenzofuran-type neolignan, picrasmalignan A, isolated from the stems of P. quassioides. In the present
Nigakialcohol A (1), as unusual cyclization ionone derivative, together with eight known ones (2-9), were isolated from the leaves of Picrasma quassioides (D. Don) Benn (Simaroubaceae). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison with literature data. Compound
Picrasma quassioides (D. Don) Benn. is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine for anti-inflammation and antibiosis. Canthinone and β-carboline alkaloids are the main characteristic constituents that possess diverse pharmacological effects, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious
Picrasma quassioides (D. Don) Benn, a medical plant, is used in clinic to treat inflammation, pain, sore throat, and eczema. The alkaloids are the main active components in P. quassioides. In this study, we examined the analgesic effect of dehydrocrenatidine (DHCT), a β-carboline
Angiogenesis is a crucial process in the development of inflammatory diseases, including cancer, psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Recently, several alkaloids from Picrasma quassioides had been screened for angiogenic activity in the zebrafish model, and the results indicated that
Picrasma quassioides (D. Don) Benn. is used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of inflammation. Characteristic components of the medicinal extract are canthinone alkaloids. In this study, a sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method has been
A new dihydrobenzofuran-type neolignan, picrasmalignan A (1), and a new sesterterpene lactone, 2'-isopicrasin A (4), were isolated from the stems of Picrasma quassioides Bennet, along with four known compounds, comprising two neolignans, 2 and 3, a sesterterpene lactone, 5, and a flavonol, 6. The

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder that tortures about millions of people worldwide. Recent study demonstrated agents derived from picrasma quassioides is a promising drug for targets multiple signaling pathways. However its potential in treatment of bone loss has not been fully
Four new bis-beta-carboline alkaloids, quassidines A-D (1-4), together with a known alkaloid, picrasidine C (5), were isolated from the stems of Picrasma quassioides. Quassidine A (1) is the first reported bis-beta-carboline alkaloid possessing a novel cyclobutane moiety. The structures of the new
Alzheimer disease (AD), a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, is one of the leading causes of dementia. However, there is no effective drug for this disease to date. Picrasma quassioides (D.Don) Benn, a Chinese traditional medicine, was used mainly for the treatment of inflammation, fever,
Picrasma quassioides is a member of the Simaroubaceae family commonly grown in the regions of Asia, the Himalayas, and India and has been used as a traditional herbal medicine to treat various illnesses such as fever, gastric discomfort, and pediculosis. This study aims to critically review
