catalpol/inflammation

A large body of evidence suggests that the inflammatory reaction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Our previous studies described the neuroprotective effects of catalpol in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory models, in which catalpol was shown to

The compound 6-O-veratroyl catalpol (6-O) is a bioactive iridoid glucoside that was originally isolated from Pseudolysimachion rotundum var. subintegrum. It has been demonstrated that catapol derivative iridoid glucosides including 6-O, possess anti-inflammatory activity in carragenan-induced paw

Autophagy has been regarded as an inflammation-associated defensive mechanism against chronic liver disease, which has been highlighted as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of liver fibrosis. We herein aimed to study the effects of catalpol on liver fibrosis in vivo and in vitro, and to

The aim of this study was to investigate whether catalpol could facilitate recovery from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cognitive deficits and protect brain mitochondrial function from LPS-induced acute systemic inflammation. In the study, except control group, mice were challenged with a single

Catalpol, a major iridoid glycoside present in Rehmannia glutinosa, has been reported to show a variety of pharmacological properties. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory effect of catalpol in intestinal cells remains poorly understood. The present study was aimed at

The neuroprotective effects of catalpol, an iridoid glycoside isolated from the fresh rehmannia roots, on the cholinergic system and inflammatory cytokines in the senescent mice brain induced by D-galactose were assessed. The results showed that acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity increased in

Catalpol is the main active ingredient of an extract from Radix rehmanniae, which in a previous study showed a protective effect against various types of tissue injury. However, a protective effect of catalpol on uterine inflammation has not been reported. In this study, to investigate the

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) play a pivotal role in the development of diabetic complications by inducing inflammation. We previously reported that the fresh roots of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch., which have been used for the treatment of diabetes in traditional Korean medicine, also have

Catalpol, a bioactive component from the root of Rehmannia glutinosa, has been shown to possess hypoglycemic effects in type 2 diabetic animal models, however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we investigated the effect of catalpol on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced insulin

We have previously shown that scropolioside B has higher anti-inflammatory activity than catalpol does after the inhibition of nuclear factor (NF)-κB activity and IL-1β expression, maturation, and secretion. Various scropoliosides were extracted, isolated, and purified from Scrophularia dentata

Catalpol, an iridoid glucoside mainly found in the root of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch, is known to possess various pharmacological effects. Here, we investigated its inhibitory potential against inflammatory responses in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglia. Our results showed that

Renal ischemia/reperfusion-injury (IRI) is a common disease in clinic, which is also the most common cause of acute kidney failure. Previous investigations has illustrated that catalpol has neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hepatitis virus effects. This study was designed to investigate

Neuroinflammation and neuro-oxidative damage are now considered to be key factors in the neurological diseases. Therefore, it is important to study anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective agents. The present study investigated the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects of catalpol (CAT), and

Tumor angiogenesis and inflammation, which play important roles in mediating tumor proliferation and growth, should be inhibited to effectively regulate tumor progression. Catalpol, a main active ingredient extracted from Rehmannia glutinosa, has various pharmacological actions including

BACKGROUND Chondrocyte dysfunction and apoptosis are 2 major features during the progression of osteoarthritis. Catalpol, an iridoid glycoside isolated from the root of Rehmannia, is a valuable medication with anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptotic effects in various diseases.
