tilianin/dracocephalum moldavica

Human pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is highly invasive and proliferative, and exhibits an extremely low 5-year survival rate due to poor understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms, and lack of efficient treatment. It has been shown that the immunosuppressive microenvironment created

Tilianin, a representative flavonoid ingredient of Dracocephalum moldavica L., has been used to treat several diseases for centuries, including atherosclerosis (AS). However, pharmacological mechanisms underlying its biological functions remain elusive. In the present study, we investigated

OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents from the whole plant of Dracocephalum moldavica. METHODS The compounds were isolated using RA polystyrene resin and silica gel column chromatography, and the structures were elucidated by means of spectral method. RESULTS Four compounds were identified as

OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents from the whole plant of Dracocephalum moldavica. METHODS The compounds were isolated by using column chromatography with RA polystyrene resin, polyamide and silica gel as packing materials, and the structures of the compounds were identified by means of

The aerial parts of Dracocephalum moldavica L. is extensive used to traditional ethnic medicines in China as a remedy for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular damage. However, the chemical composition and the content accumulation of main secondary metabolites of D. moldavica in different natural

Flavonoid Tilianin was isolated from Dracocephalum moldavica, and its pharmacological mechanism on proliferation, migration and the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) induced with Angiotensin II (Ang II) was systematically evaluated. Primary rat VSMCs were

Badiranji Buya Keli (BBK) is a traditional Uyghur medicine derived from Dracocephalum Moldavica Herba (DMH, the aerial part of Dracocephalum moldavica L.). BBK has been widely used in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Here, the quality control of BBK was established by using HPLC

Two similar Dracocephalum species, namely, Dracocephalum tanguticum Maxim and Dracocephalum moldavica L, are commonly used as ethnic medicines in China. Here we describe a strategy of combining high-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, as well as

The use of dietary flavones is becoming increasingly popular for their prevention of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and other diseases. Despite many pharmacokinetic studies on flavone mixtures, the position(s) of glucuronidation sites on the flavone skeleton in vivo remain(s) uncertain because of
