ixeris denticulata/neoplasms

Using mouse peritoneal macrophages, we have examined the mechanism by which Ixeris dentata (IXD) regulates nitric oxide (NO) production. When IXD was used in combination with recombinant interferon-gamma (rIFN-gamma), there was a marked cooperative induction of NO production. However, IXD had no

Ixeris dentata (Thunb. Ex Thunb.) Nakai (ID) exhibits various physiological activities, and its related plant derived-products are expected to represent promising cancer therapeutic agents. However, the anticancer effects of ID extract on breast cancer cells classified as estrogen receptor (ER),

A new sesquiterpene lactone glucoside, 11,13-dihydroixerinoside (1), together with the five known sesquiterpene lactones, ixerinoside (2), ixerin Z (3), 11,13alpha-dihydroixerin Z (4), ixerin Z1 (5), and 3-hydroxydehydroleucodin (6), respectively, were isolated from the whole plants of Ixeris

An extract from the entire Ixeris denticulata f. pinnatipartita plant afforded the guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone glucoside, 8 beta,15-dihydroxy-1(10),3,11(13)-guaiatrien-12,6-olide-15-O- glucopyranoside, along with the known flavonoids luteolin-7-O-glucoside and

Two new guaianolides, named chinensiolides D (5) and E (6), were isolated from Ixeris chinensis Nakai, and their structures were determined to be 10alpha-hydroxy-3-oxoguaia-11(13)-eno-12,6alpha-lactone (5) and

Phytochemical investigation of Ixeris chinensis NAKAI (Asteraceae) has resulted in the isolation of a new guaianolide-type sesquiterpene lactone, ixerochinolide (1) as well as the related glucoside, ixerochinoside (2). In addition, the known guaianolides,

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and hepatocellular carcinoma are major diseases that affect the Taiwanese population. Therefore, the development of an alternative herbal medicine that can effectively treat these diseases is a research target. In this study, we tested Ixeris Chinensis

BACKGROUND Ixeris dentata Nakai has been used for the treatment of mithridatism, calculous, indigestion, pneumonia, hepatitis, and tumors in Korea, China, and Japan. However, the effect of a water extract of Ixeris dentata (ID) and its molecular mechanism on allergic inflammation has not been

Ixeris dentata var. albiflora is considered as a potential therapeutic agent against mithridatism, calculous, indigestion, pneumonia, hepatitis, and tumors as well as good seasoned vegetable in Far East countries. Phytoene synthase (PSY), phytoene desaturase (PDS) ξ-carotene desaturase (ZDS),

Three new guaiane-type sesquiterpene lactones (1-3), together with nine related sesquiterpenes (4-12), were isolated from the whole extract of Ixeris dentata (Asteraceae). The chemical structures of isolates 1-12 were established by spectroscopic analyses as 3 β,8 β-dihydroxy-guaia-10(14)-en-1 α,4

Ixeris dentata (ID) is an herbal medicine used in Asian countries to treat indigestion, pneumonia, hepatitis, contusions, and tumors; however, its effect on intestinal inflammation is unknown. Thus, we investigated the effect of ID in the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) model of colitis in female

BACKGROUND The plant species Taraxacum coreanum (TC), Youngia sonchifolia (YS), and Ixeris dentata (ID) belong to the family Compositae and are used for medicinal purposes in traditional medicine. However, the anticancer effects of TC, YS, and ID extracts and the underlying molecular mechanisms in

BACKGROUND Ixeris gracilis DC. Stebbins (Asteraceae) is a plant considered to be medicinal by local communities of Meghalaya, India. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antidiabetic potential, antioxidant activity, and effect of the 80% methanolic extract of the leaves of Ixeris gracilis on tumor necrosis

Human skin is the first line of defense for the protection of the internal organs of the body from different stimuli. Ultraviolet B (UVB), one of the harmful radiations for skin, is widely known to induce abnormally increased cytokine release from keratinocytes leading to inflammatory skin

Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation causes skin damage and inflammation by inducing the secretion of various cytokines, which are immune regulators produced by cells. To prevent skin inflammation, keratinocytes that have been irreversibly damaged by UVB must be eliminated through apoptosis. Ixeris
