arnebia purpurea/消炎（藥

Shikonin is one of the active components isolated from the dry root of Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst (AERJ). It has been shown to have anti inflammatory activity on formaldehyde induced paw swelling in rats. Preparations of AERJ has been used clinically in curing phlebitis and vascular purpura. In

Arnebia hispidissima ethanolic extract, after chromatography, yielded a number of shikonin derivatives, which were identified as arnebin-5, arnebin-6, teracryl shikonin, arnebinone and acetyl shikonin. All these compounds were firstly reported from this plant species and evaluated to the

The hexane extract of Arnebia hispidissima yielded a mixture of naphthaquinones: arnebin-1, arnebin-7, tiglic acid (ester of dihydroxy alkannin), alkannin, arnebinol and cycloarnebin-7. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory activities of hexane extract and isolated naphthaquinones, models with

The petroleum ether, chloroform, alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Arnebia euchroma roots (500 mg/kg, orally each) were found to exhibit maximal edema inhibition (61.2%, 45%, 27.5% and 60%, respectively) against carrageenin-induced rat-paw edema at 300 min interval. The activity shown by different

BACKGROUND Finding more efficient agents with fewer side effects for treatment of burns has always been a concern for researchers. Silver sulfadiazine (SSD), apparently due to its antimicrobial effect, is still one of the most common prescribed agents. Previous studies suggested that Arnebia

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a recognized target for cancer prevention and possibly treatment. To identify novel inhibitors of COX-2, we developed a high throughput reporter gene assay that utilizes a region of the human COX-2 promoter to drive luciferase expression. A total of 968 extracts from 266

Although various drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been used in clinics, RA is not completely curable to date. Thus, to seek new drugs for the treatment of RA has been a hotspot. Hydroxynaphthoquinones are the major anti-inflammatory active constituents in Arnebia euchroma

The shikonin derivatives, accumulated in the roots of Arnebia euchroma (Boraginaceae), showed antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor activities. To explore their possible biosynthesis regulation mechanism, this paper investigated the effects of exogenous methyl jasmonate (MJ) on the

Shikonin, one of the active components isolated from the root of Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst, have anti-tumor, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activities and has been used clinically in phlebitis and vascular purpura. In the present work, the interaction of human immunoglobulin (HIg) with

Shikonin, a major component of Lithospermum erythrorhizon and Arnebia euchroma, exhibits antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory and antitumour activities. Although many recent studies have focused on the antitumour effects of shikonin, the exact mechanisms underlying its antitumour and immunomodulatory

Context: Acetylshikonin, a naphthoquinone derivative, is mainly extracted from some species of the family Boraginaceae, such as Lithospermum erythrorhizon Sieb. et Zucc., Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst., and Arnebia
