BACKGROUND
Ilex pubescens Hook. et Arn (MDQ), a traditional Chinese herb, is used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying the preventive effect of MDQ on blood stasis remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE
In this study, serum metabolomics integrated with a biochemical
'Mate' or 'Yerba mate' (Ilex paraguariensis, Aquifoliaceae) is a tonic and stimulant beverage widely used in South America. It is also traditionally used in gastrointestinal disorders as eupeptic and choleretic agent. Accordingly, the effect of decoctions of the leaves of I. paraguariensis and three
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe respiratory disease with high mortality rates worldwide. Recent reports suggest that human neutrophil elastase (HNE) plays a key role in the inflammatory response that is characteristic of ALI, which indicates that the development of HNE inhibitors could be an
Deficient signaling of the EGFR and other receptor tyrosine kinases in humans is associated with diseases such as cancer. Some EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors have become a new class of targeted therapeutic agents in the last years. We found that 27-O-p-(E)-coumaroyl ursolic acid (27-CAUA) had a
Phytochemical investigation on Ilex asprella stems by using various chromatographic techniques led to the isolation of 18 phenolic constituents. Based on spectroscopic data analyses and/or comparison of the spectroscopic data with those in literature, these constituents were identified, including
Leaves of Ilex aquifolium L. have been used for their therapeutic properties. In previous studies, components contained in the leaves were first isolated by various chromatographic techniques. Then, quantitation of oleanolic and ursolic acids, which are responsible for the biological and
Ilex pubescens (I. pubescens), which is well known in Chinese as Mao-Dong-Qing, is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. This plant is distributed in the wild in southern China, and the roots and stems are used for clearing heat, detoxifying, activating blood circulation and Ilex latifolia Thunb. (Aquifoliaceae), a Chinese bitter tea called "kudingcha," has been widely consumed as a health beverage and found to possess antioxidant, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ischemic activities. The aim of the present study was to investigate the
We report here the discovery of an acidic polysaccharide, namely IAPS-2, from the root of Ilex asprella, with anti-tumor activity via a repolarizing tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) phenotype. We obtained IAPS-2 polysaccharide from this herb based on acidity and found that IAPS-2 expressed
Context The roots of Ilex asprella (Hook. et Arn.) Champ. ex Benth. (Aquifoliaceae) are widely used in Chinese medicine to treat influenza, amygdalitis, pertussis, etc. Their mechanism of action is still unknown, which raises the need to identify new bioactive compounds in this plant. Objective In
