saikosaponin d/inflammation

Saikosaponin a (SSa) and its epimer saikosaponin d (SSd) are major triterpenoid saponin derivatives from Radix bupleuri (RB), which has been long used in Chinese traditional medicine for treatment of various inflammation-related diseases. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory activity, as well

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies and accounts for ~6% of all types of human cancer worldwide, particularly in Asia. The incidence and mortality rates in the USA have also rapidly increased. Saikosaponin‑d (SSD), a saponin derivative extracted from several species

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease. Currently, no effective therapeutic exists for osteoarthritis in the clinic setting. Inflammatory response and autophagy are key players in the occurrence and prognosis of osteoarthritis. In recent years, the regulation of inflammation and autophagy

Saikosaponin d (SSd) is a major hepatoprotective component of saikosaponins derived from Radix Bupleuri, which was also linked to hepatotoxicity. Previous studies have demonstrated that caspases play a key role in SSd-induced liver cell death. Our in vitro and in vivo studies also showed that

Overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) can cause acute liver injury that is sometimes fatal, requiring efficient pharmacological intervention. The traditional Chinese herb Bupleurum falcatum has been widely used for the treatment of several liver diseases in eastern Asian countries, and saikosaponin d

The effects of saikosaponin-d, a triterpene saponin derived from Bupleurum falcatum L. (Umbelliferae), on the signaling pathways of T cell activation were examined. The results showed that saikosaponin-d potently suppressed both early (CD69) and late (CD71) expressions of mouse T cells stimulated

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effects of saikosaponin-d (SSd) on angiogenesis in chicken embryos and its mechanism of action. METHODS Chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model was established successfully in 86 chicken embryos. They were divided into 4 groups after fenestration: the three SSd

1. Saikosaponins, one of the representative bioactive ingredients in Radix Bupleuri, possess hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antitumor, and other pharmacological activities. Up to now, few studies focused on the further metabolism of saikosaponins and their secondary metabolites

BACKGROUND Bupleurum chinense is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb which has been used to treat various inflammatory and infectious diseases, while Bupleurum kaoi is an endemic plant in Taiwan. We determined whether B. chinense and B. kaoi and their biologically active saikosaponin compounds

Saikosaponin-d (Ssd) is one of the major pharmacologically active molecules present in Bupleurum falcatum L, a medical herb against inflammatory diseases in the traditional Chinese medicine. In the current study, we investigated the protective activity of Ssd on diabetic nephropathy along with the

Saikosaponin D (SSd), the major monomeric terpenoid extracted from Radix bupleuri, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, exerts various pharmacological properties, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory and antiviral. The present study aimed to investigate the role of SSd in human

Saikosaponin-d (SSd), one of the main constituents of the total saikosaponins extracted from Bupleurum falcatum L, possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis effect. Recently, SSd was proved to improve depressive symptoms although exhibit hepatotoxicity in animals, but the central nervous system

Saikosaponin-d (Ssd) is a triterpenoid saponin derived from Bupleurum falcatum L., which has been shown to exhibit a variety of pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Ssd on the

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ) have been shown to be involved in inflammation and carcinogenesis, and our previous study revealed that they were co-overexpressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue and a positive correlation was found.
