obacunone/inflammation

Context: Obacunone, a limonoid abundantly found in Citrus fruits, exhibits a variety of bioactivities. Objective: To investigate the effects of obacunone on a colorectal

Obacunone (OBA) is a highly oxygenated triterpenoid with various pharmacological activities. In this study, we explored its anti-inflammatory effect and underlying mechanisms in LPS-activated macrophages. Our data showed that OBA potently decreased pro-inflammatory mediators (eg, NO, IL-6, IL-1β,

Obacunone and obacunone glucoside (OG) are naturally occurring triterpenoids commonly found in citrus and other plants of the Rutaceae family. The current study reports the mechanism of cytotoxicity of citrus-derived obacunone and OG on human androgen-dependent prostate cancer LNCaP cells. Both

Obacunone is one of the oxygenated triterpenoids found in rutaceae family. It has been demonstrated for various biological activities including inhibition of cancer cells proliferation and tumor. The current study is an attempt to understand the mode of cytotoxicity of obacunone using cultured

Overexpression of the aromatase enzyme CYP19 has been implicated in the onset of estrogen-dependent breast carcinogenesis. Obacunone, a natural compound present in citrus fruits, has been demonstrated for various biological activities including anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. In the

Obacunone, a natural limonoid compound abundantly distributed in citrus fruits, possesses various biological properties, such as antitumor, antioxidant, and antiviral activities. Recent studies suggested an anti-inflammatory activity of obacunone in vitro, but its efficacy on intestinal

Limonoids, abundantly present in citrus fruits, have potential role in reducing risk of different type of cancer. In the present study, we hypothesized that seven structurally different limonoids would involve in inflammatory pathway via modulating p38 MAP kinase activity at various extent in

Phellodendri Cortex (PC) or Huang Bai. According to the scientific database of China Plant Species and Chinese pharmacopeia 2015 edition, PC has two main species which are Phellodendron amurense Rupr (PAR) or "Guan Huang bai" in Chinese and
