Licochalcone A, 3-a,a-dimethylallyl-4,4'-dihydroxy-6-methoxychalcone, from the root of Glycyrrhiza inflata Beta (Leguminosae) (Xin-jiang liquorice) showed anti-inflammatory action towards mouse ear edema induced by arachidonic acid (AA) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) by topical

Glycyrrhiza inflata has been used as a traditional medicine with anti-inflammatory activity. Previously, we reported that a major component, Licochalcone A, potently inhibited TNFalpha-induced NF-kappaB activation by inhibiting IKKbeta activation. In this study, we investigated whether the fixed

In this study we found that licochalcone E (LicE), a recently isolated retrochalcone from Glycyrrhiza inflata, exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects in 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced mouse ear edema and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophage models.

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), there are three Cheng-Chi-Tang decoctions (CCTDs) including: Ta-Cheng-Chi-Tang (TCCT), Xiao-Chen-Chi-Tang (XCCT) and Tiao-Wei-Chen-Chi-Tang (TWCCT), which are the frequently used purgative remedies to treat "internal heat"-induced symptoms like a bloated and

BACKGROUND Hataedock treatment is traditionally used for the purpose of preventing the future skin disease by feeding herbal extracts to the newborn in traditional Chinese and Korean medicine. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the preventive therapeutic effects of Hataedock (HTD) treatment for

The anti-inflammatory effects of glycyrol, a benzofuran coumarin isolated from Glycyrrhizae Radix, were studied. Glycyrol of 5, 25 and 50 microM dose-dependently inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production by down-regulating inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and alleviated cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)

Licorice, the oldest Chinese traditional medicine, is widely used in the treatment of human diseases. Due to the deficiency of wild resource, selecting and breeding becomes a key issue to expanding the supply of licorice. Spaceflight technology will become a new method for medicinal plants. The aim

This study investigated the preventive therapeutic effects of Hataedock (HTD) treatment on inflammatory regulation and skin protection in AD-induced NC/Nga mice under high-fat diet conditions. Before inducing AD, the extract of Coptidis Rhizoma and Glycyrrhiza uralensis was administered orally to

Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is an active component of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. In this study, the effects of glycyrrhetinic acid on DNA damage and unscheduled DNA synthesis induced by benzo (alpha) pyrene were studied. Mouse ear edema was visible obviously at the 6th h after topical application of

BACKGROUND The root of Euphorbia kansui T.P. Wang (Euphorbiaceae), a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with certain toxicity, is known as Gan sui (Chinese: ) or kansui. It has been used to treat edema, ascites, asthma, and etc. Licorice is the root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. or

Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. (G. uralensis) is one of the most widely used herbal medicines. This study was designed to enrich total flavonoids (TFF) from G. uralensis. The chemical profile of TFF was identified by HPLC and colorimetric assay. The TFF mainly contained liquiritin apioside,

Licochalcone A was isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza inflata and evaluated for its anti-inflammatory activity in xylene-induced mice ear edema and carrageenan-induced paw edema tests. At the same time, the inhibition of prostaglandin biosynthesis by licochalcone A was also studied in

BACKGROUND HuangqinTang (HQT) is a traditional Chinese formula which is composed of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Paeonia lactiflora Pall, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, and Ziziphus jujube Mill. HQT has been used in China for a wide range of disorders, especially in gastrointestinal inflammation
