BACKGROUND The main use of stem bark infusions of Alnus acuminata ssp. arguta (Schlecht.) Furlow (Betulaceae) includes treatments for acute inflammation in Mexican traditional medicine. OBJECTIVE n-Hexane (CHE), chloroform (CCE), and methanol (CME) extracts of the stem bark were investigated for

A new cyclic diarylheptanoid namely alnuheptanoid B (3), along with four known cyclic diarylheptanoids: myricanone (1), (+)-S-myricanol (2), myricanone 5-O- -D-glucopyranoside (4), and (+)-S-myricanol 5-O- -D-glucopyranoside (5) were isolated from the EtOAc fraction of Alnus japonica Steud (family:

This study was aimed to investigate thoroughly the diarylheptanoids in the n-BuOH soluble fraction of leaves of Alnus formosana in order to examine their anti-inflammatory activities. The application of HPLC-SPE-NMR as a preliminary chemical screening led to characterization of eleven compounds.

BACKGROUND Stem bark of Alnus nitida (Spach) Endl. (family Betulaceae) is used by local communities in northern areas of Pakistan as a remedy for swelling, injuries and pain. However no pharmacological study of this plant has been reported to confirm these activities. In this study anti-inflammatory

Fermentation of Alnus sibirica (AS) stems using Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis was conducted and three compounds isolated from the Alnus species were identified for the first time, 7-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-heptan-3-one,

Alders exhibit several uses in different areas and also offer some nutritional and medicinal values. The bark and leaves from black alder [Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn] are used in folk medicine for the treatment of inflammatory processes and other health disorders. This study assessed if an extract

Alnus sibirica extracts (ASex) have long been used in Oriental medicine to treat various conditions. To provide a scientific basis for this application and the underlying mechanism, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of ASex in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro model was established

OBJECTIVE Oregonin, a major diarylheptanoid derivative isolated from Alnus japonica, exerts anti-inflammatory effects; however, little is known about the effect of oregonin in intestinal inflammation. The current study investigated the potential of oregonin for clinical applications in the treatment

Oregonin is an open-chain diarylheptanoid isolated from Alnus incana bark that possesses remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, inhibits adipogenesis, and can be used in the prevention of obesity and related metabolic disorders. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of oregonin

Oregonin, existing primarily in the Alnus plants, displayed anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities. The capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method was developed in this study to quantitatively determine oregonin content in the Alnus plants for the first time. Various parameters, including

The hepatoprotective properties of altan (obtained on the basis of ellagotannines from the cones of black alder Alnus glutinosa) are studied on the model of acute damage to the liver with tetrachloromethane. It is found that altan exhibits the hepatoprotective activity even in a dose of 1 mg/kg

BACKGROUND Alnus species have been used for the treatment of rheumatism, hemorrhoids and for wound healing in folk medicine. METHODS Aqueous and methanol extracts of A. glutinosa (L.) Gaertner subsp. glutinosa, A. orientalis Decne. var. orientalis and A. orientalis var. pubescens Dippel leaves were

The diarylheptanoid, oregonin (ORE), which was isolated from the bark of Alnus japonica Steudel that grows natively in Korea, has been known to exert antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and immune response inhibitory effects. The antioxidative effect of ORE was observed on the superoxide

Alnus japonica (Betulaceae) is a broad-leaved tree easily found in damp regions within the mountains of Korea and Japan. Four triterpenoids (1-4) from the fruits of A. japonica, including the newly isolated 3β-hydroxy-lanost-9(11),23(24)-dien-25,26-diol (3), inhibited the lipopolysaccharide

Diarylheptanoids, a group of plant secondary metabolites are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutic agents. The aim of study was to ascertain the anti-inflammatory profile of diarylheptanoids from Alnus nepalensis against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in macrophages and
