capsella rubescens/inflammation

A new sesquilignan glycoside 1, together with seven known phenolic glycosides 2-8 were isolated from the aerial parts of Capsella bursa-pastoris. The chemical structure of the new compound 1 was elucidated by extensive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data (¹H- and 13C-NMR, ¹H-¹H correlation

BACKGROUND Cynanchum wilfordii (Maximowicz) Hemsley (Apocynaceae), Arctium lappa L. var. rubescens Frivald (Asteraceae) and Dioscorea opposite Thunb (Dioscoreaceae) root extracts have been widely used as an alternative for intervening obesity. OBJECTIVE The synergistic effect of three-herb mixture

Shepherd's purse, Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik., has been considered a health food for centuries in Asia and is known to contain the isothiocyanate compound sulforaphane. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of a sulforaphane-containing solution (SCS)

Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik.), a wild herb as a traditional herbal medicine, has been proved with multiple healthy benefits. In this study, the chemical constituents of shepherd's purse were identified by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. The antioxidative and anti-inflammatory

The diterpenoid compound, Oridonin, extracted from the Chinese herb, Rabdosia rubescens, possesses multiple biological activities and properties. Oridonin exhibited efficient anti-inflammatory activity by inducing a switch in macrophage polarization to the anti-inflammatory phenotype through

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play an important role in hepatic fibrogenesis and inflammatory modulation. Endotoxin is dramatically increased in portal venous blood after serious injury and can contribute to liver damage. However, the mechanism underlying endotoxin's effects on HSCs remains largely

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications in clinic, but there is still no effective treatment. Oridonin, extracted from Rabdosia rubescens, has been identified to promote inhibitory effects on tumor, inflammatory and fibrosis by previous study. This study aimed to

Renal tubulointerstitial inflammation plays an important role in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inflammation reduction is a good strategy to combat CKD. Oridonin, an ent-kaurane diterpenoid isolated from Rabdosia rubescens (Donglingcao), is considered as an effective natural candidate for the

Oridonin, the major terpene isolated from Rabdosia rubescens, has been used as dietary supplement. Recently, it has been known to exhibit anti-inflammatory effect. This study we employed an in vitro model of LPS-stimulated human gingival fibroblasts to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects and

Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Oridonin (Ori), a component isolated from Rabdosia rubescens, possesses remarkable anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory and antitumor properties. However, the renoprotective effects of Ori and the

Osteoarthritis (OA), a progressive disease of the joints, affects millions of people worldwide. In the present study, we investigated the effects of oridonin, a diterpenoid isolated from Rabdosia rubescens, on IL-1β-induced inflammation using human osteoarthritis chondrocytes. The results showed

Currently, dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), a multipass transmembrane protein, is considered as the master regulator of cell-cell fusion, which underlies the formation of functional multinucleated osteoclasts. Thus, DC-STAMP has become a promising target for

In China the leaves of Rabdosia rubescens have been cooked in water and widely drank to treat inflammatory and pain related diseases. To explore the components that were possibly absorbed by people the aqueous extract of the leaves was prepared, and one single HPLC-PDA/(-)ESI-MS/MS analysis was

Rabdosia rubescens is a herbal root extract of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) used to treat inflammatory diseases and oral cancers. A key principle of TCM is that multiple ingredients in a plant extract are more effective and less toxic than a single purified active ingredient or a purified drug
