Polygonum cuspidatum (PC) has been used for the treatment of arthritis and urinary diseases in traditional medicine. Despite recent evidence that PC has anti-oxidant, anti-tumoral, and anti-inflammatory effects, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of PC have not been elucidated yet in vivo.

Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. and Zucc. has been traditionally used as a member of many anti-inflammatory polyherbal formulations, but is now a widespread invasive neophyte in Europe and America. To discuss if the invasive variety is chemically identical to the native one in traditional medicine, the

BACKGROUND Resveratrol have been shown to exert an antiinflammatory and antiaging effects in vitro and in animal models. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of a Polygonum cuspidatum extract (PCE) containing resveratrol on oxidative and inflammatory stress in normal

The present study aimed to investigate the anti‑arthritic effect of physcion 8‑O‑β‑glucopyranoside (POGD) and its possible mechanisms. The anti‑proliferative effects of POGD on MH7A cells were detected using a CCK‑8 assay, and the release of pro‑inflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)‑1β, IL‑6,

Resveratrol, the most important ingredient extracted from Polygonum cuspidatum, exerts cytoprotective effects via anti-inflammatory actions in vitro. In this study, we investigated this effect of resveratrol on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response and its underlying molecular

BACKGROUND This study tested the ability of a characterized extract of Polygonum cuspidatum (PCE) to inhibit mouse ear inflammation in response to topical application of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). METHODS A 50% (wt:vol) ethanolic solution of commercial 200:1 PCE was applied to both

Reynoutria elliptica has been used in traditional Korean medicine to promote blood circulation, relieve pain, increase dieresis, and alleviate respiratory problems, through as yet undefined mechanisms. We set out to determine whether the anti-inflammatory effects of this plant are linked with its

Polydatin and resveratrol, as major active components in Polygonum cuspidatum, have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor functions. However, the effect and mechanism of polydatin and resveratrol on enterovirus 71 (EV71) have not been reported. In this study, resveratrol revealed strong

trans-Resveratrol (t-RVT), a naturally occurring polyphenol found in Polygonum cuspidatum, grape, and red wine, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and cancer chemopreventive properties. However antidiabetic effect of t-RVT has not yet been reported. In this study, we show

The development of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) occurs due to excessive proliferation of fibroblasts. Polydatin, a monomeric compound isolated from a traditional Chinese medicine polygonum cuspidatum, exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. However, the mechanisms underlying the

OBJECTIVE In order to screen out a certain kind of traditional medicine which has a better role in immune regulatory, the influence of representatives of heat clearing and detoxicating herb on inflammatory cytokines protein expression of mice lung homogenate infected by FM1 have been

Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) plays an important role in the protein C anticoagulation pathway and in the cytoprotective pathway. Previously, EPCR can be shed from the cell surface, which is mediated by tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme (TACE). Soluble EPCR levels are increased in

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol enriched in Polygonum cuspidatum and has been found to afford neuroprotective effects against neuroinflammation in the brain. Activated microglia can secrete various pro-inflammatory cytokines and neurotoxic mediators, which may contribute to hypoxic brain

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein acts as a potent proinflammatory cytokine and is involved in the pathogenesis of several vascular diseases, such as, systemic vasculitis and sepsis. Emodin-6-O-β-D-glucoside (EG) is a new active compound from Reynoutria japonica, and its biologic activities
