Pelargonium zonate spot virus (PZSV) was first reported on Pelargonium zonale (L.) L'Hér. ex Aiton and later on tomato in Italy, Spain, France (1), and the United States (2). In Spain, PZSV was first detected in 1996 in tomato plants of cv. Royesta from greenhouses in Zaragoza Province (3) and

The major damaging factor during and after the ischemic/hypoxic insult is the generation of free radicals, which leads to apoptosis, necrosis, and ultimately cell death. Rubia cordifolia (RC), Fagonia cretica linn (FC), and Tinospora cordifolia (TC) have been reported to contain a wide variety of

Inflammation is a defensive response against a multitude of harmful stimuli and stress conditions such as tissue injury, and is one of the most common pathological processes of human diseases. 6-Hydroxyrubiadin, an anthraquinone isolated from Rubia cordifolia L., exhibits several bioactive

Propionibacterium acnes, an anaerobic pathogen, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acne by inducing certain inflammatory mediators. These mediators include reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. In the present study, ROS, interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis

BACKGROUND The major damaging factor during and after the ischemic/hypoxic insult is the generation of free radicals, which leads to apoptosis, necrosis and ultimately cell death. Rubia cordifolia (RC), Fagonia cretica linn (FC) and Tinospora cordifolia (TC) have been reported to contain a wide

Portal circulation was reduced to 50-60% for one hour by partial occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for the purpose of studying the relationship between reperfusion injury, bacterial translocation and multiple system organ failure. Forty dogs were divided randomly into four groups, and 1 x

Forty dogs were divided randomly into four groups. The portal circulation was reduced to 50%-60% for one hour by partially occluding the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for the purpose of determining the relationship between the reperfusion injury, bacterial translocation, and multiple system organ

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an abrupt loss of kidney function and severe AKI needs renal replacement therapeutic strategy and has high mortality. RA-XII is a natural cyclopeptide, isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Rubia yunnanensis, exerting anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities.

Cytokines involved in pathogenesis of psoriasis such as interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, IL-22, IL-23), interferon-α, tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ can also become therapeutic targets. Research currently uses murine models of imiquimod-induced psoriatic-type dermatitis in order to

We examined the anti-inflammatory effects of (+)-syringaresinol (SGRS), a lignan isolated from Rubia philippinensis, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells using enzyme-based immuno assay, Western blotting, and RT-PCR analyses. Additionally, in vivo effects of SGRS in the acute

Mollugin, a kind of naphthohydroquinone, is a major constituent isolated from Rubia cordifolia L. and demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory activity in recent reports. However, the effects and mechanism of action of mollugin in inflammation have not been fully defined. The present study was

Mollugin, a bioactive phytochemical isolated from Rubia cordifolia L. (Rubiaceae), exhibits antimutagenic activity, antitumor activity, antiviral activity, and inhibitory activity in arachidonic acid- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation. In this study, we investigated the effects of mollugin

Mollugin is the active compound of Rubia cordifolia, which has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases including arthritis and uteritis. In the present study, we investigated for the first time the inhibitory effects and the mechanisms of action

The NF-κB signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in regulating the immune response and inflammation. However, it has been shown that NF-κB also has a major role in oncogenesis. Therefore, NF-κB inhibitors have been considered as potential drugs against cancer. Herein, we searched for NF-κB

Exposure of Jurkat T cells to mollugin (15-30 microM), purified from the roots of Rubia cordifolia L., caused cytotoxicity and apoptotic DNA fragmentation along with mitochondrial membrane potential disruption, mitochondrial cytochrome c release, phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK),
