protocatechuic aldehyde/salvia

The contents of Protocatechuic aldehyde in crude and four different processed products of Salvia miltiorrhiza were determined by HPLC. The results showed that, after processing, the contents of Protocatechuic aldehyde decreased in varying degrees. Among them, the processed products fried with wine,

The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction between dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (CaHPO(4) x 2H(2)O, DCPD) and Protocatechuic aldehyde (C(7)H(6)O(3), Pca), which is the water-soluble constituents of Chinese Medicine, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Bunge (SMB), by calculating the absorption energy

Protocatechuic aldehyde (3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde; PCA) is extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza, and has been reported to possess antiproliferative, antioxidant, and antiadipogenesis properties in various in vivo and in vitro experiments. This study aimed to outline the antioxidant and suppressive

Fibronectin (FN) is one of the most important extracellular matrix proteins and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a potent, water-soluble antioxidant, protocatechuic aldehyde (PA), which is derived from the

Protocatechuic aldehyde (PCA) is a natural compound found in the Chinese herb Salvia miltiorrhiza. It has been shown to possess multiple biological activities and to protect the cardiovascular system against oxidative stress, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. However, the potential effects of PCA

A method using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis was established for the identification of metabolites in rat after oral administration of protocatechuic aldehyde, a major bioactive phenolic acid in the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Eleven

Apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells results in the loss of endothelial integrity, and is a risk factor of atherosclerosis (AS). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulates inflammation during AS. The current study examined the effect of a potent water-soluble antioxidant, protocatechuic aldehyde (PCA;

The migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and formation of intravascular thrombosis play crucial roles in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. This study examined the effects of protocatechuic aldehyde (PCA), a compound isolated from the aqueous extract of the

Adhesion molecules, which play a crucial role in the development of atherogenesis, are produced by endothelial cells following stimulation with various inflammatory cytokines. The current studies examined the effect of a potent water-soluble antioxidant, protocatechuic aldehyde (derived from the

The purpose of this study was to determine the inhibitory action of protocatechuic aldehyde (PCA) on tyrosinase activity. PCA is one of the compounds found in the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Our study documented that PCA has a potent inhibitory effect on tyrosinase, which catalyzes the

Natural compounds provide a large reservoir of potentially active anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) agents. We examined the direct effects of protocatechuic aldehyde (PA; derived from the Chinese herb, Salvia miltiorrhiza) on HBV replication in HepG2 2.2.15 cell line and duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV)

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of mineral cations on the growth of Salvia niltiorrhiza adventitious roots and the accumulation of tanshinone II A and protocatechuic aldehyde. METHODS The adventitious roots were cultured under different concentrations of metal cations and the contents of tanshinone

Our previous study indicated that Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM) induced human placenta‑derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPDMSCs) to differentiate into cardiomyocytes, however, the effective component of SM in promoting cardiomyogenic differentiation remained to be elucidated. In the present study, the

A method has been developed to determine the four water-soluble components-Danshensu (I), protocatechuic acid (II), protocatechuic aldehyde (III) and salvianolic acid B (IV) in Chinese medicine plant Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge using high-performance liquid chromatography with a coulometric electrode
