morelloflavone/inflammation

The flavanonylflavone morelloflavone inhibited secretory phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in vitro, with a high potency on the human recombinant synovial and bee venom enzymes (IC50 = 0.9 and 0.6 microM, respectively). The inhibition was apparently irreversible. In contrast, the compound was inactive on

Garcinia gardneriana is popularly used in skin disorders; therefore, this article investigated the effect of G. gardneriana extracts from leaves, bark and seeds and two isolated compounds in ear oedema and leucocytes migration caused by croton oil. The topical application of the extract of G.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of an ethanolic extract of the bark of bacupari (Garcinia brasiliensis - EEB) on the abundance of intestinal microbiota, concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), oxidative stress, and inflammation in obese rats fed a high-fat diet

Morelloflavone, a biflavonoid extracted from Garcinia dulcis, has shown antioxidative, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the function and the mechanism of this compound in cancer treatment and tumor angiogenesis have not been elucidated to date. In this study, we postulated that

Leaf fractions of Garcinia brasiliensis were evaluated concerning their antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties, and the most active fraction was then fully characterized regarding its phenolic composition using HPLC-DAD-ESI/MSn. The ethyl acetate fraction from
