Triptolide (TP) shows promising anti-inflammatory and antitumor activity but with severe toxicity. TP is a natural reactive electrophile containing three epoxide groups, which are usually linked to hepatotoxicity via their ability to covalently bind to cellular macromolecules. In this study,

Triptolide (TP), as the main component of Tripterygium Wilfordii (TW), can induce obvious liver injury when exerting the therapeutic effect. However, in our previous study, Catalpol (CAT), the main active ingredient of Rehmannia Glutinosa (RG), was shown to increase the drug clearance rate of TP and

Tripterygium wilfordii has exihibited multiple pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, immune modulation, anti-tumor and anti-fertility. T. wilfordii have been used for the therapy of inflammation and autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, immune complex nephritis and

Context: Radix Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. (Celastraceae) (LGT) has outstanding curative efficacy; however, side effects include high toxicity, particularly hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Objective: To investigate detoxification mechanisms of LGT through processing

OBJECTIVE To get the detoxification and retentive-acting (keep the effect of immunosuppression) fungal substance of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. METHODS The medicinal fungal new type bi-directional solid fermentation engineering was adopted. T. wilfordii was used as medicinal substance and diverse

BACKGROUND The hepatotoxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. (TWHF) limits its clinic utilization. Qingluo Tongbi formula (QTF) was formulated based on a basic Chinese medicine theory. Previous studies have confirmed the safety and efficacy of QTF in treating rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, we

Triptolide (TP) is the major active principle of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f. and very effective in treatment of autoimmune diseases. However, TP induced hepatotoxicity limited its clinical applications. Our previous study found that TP was a substrate of P-glycoprotein and its hepatobiliary

The nectar of the thunder god vine, Tripterygium hypoglaucum, contains a terpenoid, triptolide (TRP), that may be toxic to the sympatric Asian honey bee, Apis cerana, because honey produced from this nectar is toxic to bees. However, these bees will forage on, recruit for, and pollinate this plant

Triptolide (TP), a main bioactive component of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F., is a promising agent for treatment of autoimmune diseases. However, a high incidence of dose-limiting hepatotoxicity was observed in the clinic. Sandwich-cultured rat hepatocyte model was used in this study to identify

Triptolide (TP) is the major active component of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TWHF) and possesses multiple pharmacological effects. However, hepatotoxicity of TP which is one of the toxic properties slows its progression in clinical application. 18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is the main bioactive

BACKGROUND The traditional herbal medicine Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. (TW) has been widely used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disease in the clinic. However, adverse reactions of TW including hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity have been frequently reported. Terpenes
