ligustilide/inflammation

The roots of Angelica tenuissima have been commonly used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and menstrual discomfort in Asian countries, such as China and Korea. The primary volatile flavor components are essential oil ingredients, phthalide lactones. In this study, (Z)-ligustilide was

Ligustilide is a major component of Radix Angelica Sinensis and reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has been shown to be expressed in the spinal cord and be involved in inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain. Whether ligustilide can inhibit

Objective: To investigate the effects of ligustilide(LIG) on extracellular recombinant human heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) induced inflammatory reactions in the THP-1 cells and the related mechanisms. Methods: THP-1 cells were differentiated to macrophages by incubation with

Four new ligustilides chuanxiongnolide R1 (1), chuanxiongnolide R2 (2), chuanxiongdiolide R1 (3) and chuanxiongdiolide R2 (4) together with eight known derivatives (5-12) were isolated from the root of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. Their structures were elucidated by HR-ESI-MS, UV, IR, 1D and 2D NMR

Neuroinflammatory responses induced by accumulation and aggregation of beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptide are mainly involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Z-ligustilide (LIG), a novel neuroprotectant against ischemic stroke, was reported to have significant anti-inflammatory effects via

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of Z-Ligustilide (LIG) in experimental ovariectomized (OVX) osteopenic rats. The anti-inflammatory potential of LIG in the regulation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), maleic dialdehyde (MDA), polymorphonuclear cells

Ligustilide is the main component of Danggui essential oil, and recently reported to have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effect. Increasing evidence suggests that glia-mediated neuroinflammation in the spinal cord plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of chronic pain. In the present study,

Ligustilide (LIG) is a major component of Radix Angelica Sinensis, and reportedly has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Recent studies have demonstrated that spinal astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic pain. Here we investigated the

The Z-ligustilide (LIG) was studied for its anti-inflammatory activities with prepared LIG nanoemulsions (LIGNE). Healthy male adult Wistar rats were used in the study. Endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) was induced by a footpad injection of 200 μg lipopolysaccharide. EIU rats were administered orally

BACKGROUND Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are proposed to function as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and contribute to post-ischemic neuroinflammation and brain injury by activating Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 at the acute and subacute phases after ischemic stroke. However, there are few studies

Ultraviolet B (UVB), a harmful environmental factor, is responsible for a variety of skin disorders including skin inflammation through reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory mediator production. Here, we investigated the effect of Z-ligustilide (Z-lig), an active ingredient isolated from

BACKGROUND Ligustilide is a bioactive phthalide derivative isolated from Cnidii Rhizoma (Cnidium officinale, rhizome) and Angelicae Gigantis Radix (Angelica gigas Nakai, root) which are both medicinal herbs used to treat circulatory disorders. Vascular endothelium is a central spot in developing

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease. The main active component in Angelica sinensis, ligustilide, has been reported to have the protective effect on AD. Whether ligustilide could protect against age-induced dementia is still unknown. In this study, we used an
