OBJECTIVE The ethanol extract (LF) of Ligularia fischeri var. spiciformis (leaf) has been evaluated for antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities in mice. METHODS Analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities were studied by measuring nociception induced by formalin, acetic acid and hot-plate,

Ligularia fischeri (Ledeb.) Turcz., a perennial plant native to northeastern Asia, has long been used as folk remedies for the alleviation of inflammatory symptoms. We investigated whether the extract of L. fischeri (LFEx) and caffeoylquinic acid (CQA) derivatives, the pharmacologically active

Histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity is well established to regulate inflammatory responses. In contrast, the mechanisms by which natural nutritional extracts influence epigenetic mechanisms to regulate inflammation have not yet been thoroughly investigated. Thus, in the present study, we

Ligularia fischeri (LF) has been used as an edible herb and traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases. In the present study, we report the effects and molecular mechanism of the ethanolic extract of LF on cell proliferation, invasion and tube formation in human

An eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoid (EPS), 3-oxo-eremophila-1,7(11)-dien-12,8β-olide, has been isolated from anti-inflammatory folk herbs, Ligularia pleurocaulis. The aim of present study is to explore protective effects of EPS on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in

A new phenylpropanoid, ligulaveitnoid A (1), along with four known compounds, (E)-2,3-dihydroconiferyl p-coumarate (2), dihydroconiferyl ferulate (3), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (4) and (E)-p-coumaric acid (5) were isolated from

BACKGROUND Ligularia fischeri (common name Gomchwi) is known for its pharmaceutical properties and used in the treatment of jaundice, scarlet-fever, rheumatoidal arthritis, and hepatic diseases; however, little is known about its anti-inflammatory effect. In this study the influence of blanching and

Ligularia fischeri, indigenous to eastern Asia, has been used as a traditional herbal medicine. Ligularia fischeri reportedly possesses a number of biological activities such as antimutagenic, antioxidant, antigenotoxic, and anti-inflammation. This study demonstrated the effects of

A considerable amount of bioactive compounds have been used for the biopharmaceutical engineering to help human health and nutrition. Hairy root culture (HRC) or transgenic root is a favourable alternative technique for phytochemical production. Ligularia fischeri is a significant source of

Synovial hyperplasia is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is regarded as a major destructive element of articular bone and cartilage. This pathological process is accompanied by the production of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in synoviocytes. The present

The present study was undertaken to determine whether Ligularia fischeri leaf extract (LF) is efficacious against collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice. DBA/1J mice were immunized with bovine type II collagen and treated with LF (100 and 200 mg/kg) for 49 days. Mice were assessed regularly for

The extract of the Momordica charantia fruit (MCE) is recognized as an alternative treatment for diabetes. The extract of Ligularia fischeri leaves (LFE) is traditionally used as a folk medicine for treating inflammatory diseases in Korea as well. In this study, we investigated the synergistic

BACKGROUND Ligularia przewalskii (Maxim.) Diels (LP) (called zhangyetuowu in Chinese), is generally found in moist forest areas in the western regions of China. The root, leaves and flower of LP are utilized as a common traditional medicine in China. It has been utilized conventionally in herbal

Hepatic protective effects of Ligularia fischeri (LF) and Aronia melanocarpa (AM) against alcohol were investigated in vitro and in vivo test. LF, AM, and those composed mixing material (LF+AM) were treated in HepG2 cell. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde
