salvia isensis/albumin

Human serum albumin (HSA) binding is one of important pharmacokinetic properties of drug, which is closely related to in vivo distribution and may ultimately influence its clinical efficacy. Compared to conventional drug, limited information on this transportation process is available for medicinal

Polysaccharides obtained from certain plants have been reported to have immunomodulatory properties. As a consequence of these reports the aim of this study was to investigate some immunomodulatory properties of water extracts of Alcea rosea L. (ARE), Malva sylvestris L. (MSE) and Salvia libanotica

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes microvascular barrier disruption, leading to albumin leakage from microvessels resulting in a range of disastrous sequels. Salvianolic acid B (SalB) is a major water-soluble component derived from Salvia miltiorrhiza. Previous studies showed its potential to attenuate

Salvianolic acid B and rosmarinic acid are two main water-soluble active ingredients from Salvia miltiorrhiza with important pharmacological activities and clinical applications. The interactions between salvianolic acid B (or rosmarinic acid) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the presence and

Tanshione II A and Cryptotanshinone are the main effective components of the traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza bung. They both have many kinds of physiologic activities. When a medicine enters the body, it always goes to the acceptor site and has pharmacodynamic action by way of

An on-line dialysis sampling method coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was developed for simultaneous investigation of the interactions between multiple bioactive compounds contained in herbal medicines and proteins. The system was used to estimate the interactions of components in

BACKGROUND Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is a traditional Asian medicine used to treat cerebral and cardiac ischemia. However, the effects of the active compounds of S. miltiorrhiza on liver damage are unclear. OBJECTIVE In this study, we tested the effects on acute liver injury of crude S. miltiorrhiza

Lithospermic acid B (LSB), the major water-soluble ingredient of Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), has been shown to be an active ingredient responsible for the therapeutic effects of this traditional Chinese herb used to treat cardiac disorders. This study aimed to develop an indirect

Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) is a reactive oxidant formed from superoxide and nitric oxide that can readily oxidize cellular components, including essential protein, non-protein thiols, and DNA. ONOO(-) has contributed to the pathogenesis of diseases such as stroke, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease,

Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is produced by the reaction of superoxide (O2-) with nitric oxide. ONOO- damages proteins through nitration or oxidation. For protection from ONOO- induced protein modifications, ONOO- scavengers should be supplemented. Evidence was obtained that lithospermate B extracted from

Most of the species of genus Salvia are famous for having medicinal properties due to their chemical constituents. Salvia bucharica (Lamiacea) is found in Balochistan near Quetta in Hannaurak and Kalat. It is used in traditional system of medicine and claims to cure liver ailments. In current study

This study intended to examine the effect of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl lactic acid (DLA), a major ingredient of Salvia miltiorrhiza, on lipopolysaccahride (LPS) -induced mouse cerebral cortical microcirculatory disturbance. Velocity of red blood cells in, and albumin leakage from venules, and the numbers

The working area of a screen-printed electrode, SPE, was modified with the enzyme tyrosinase (Tyr) using different immobilization methods, namely entrapment with water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), cross-linking using glutaraldehyde (GA), and cross-linking using GA and human serum albumin (HSA);

Experimental model of acute liver damage with D-galactosamine was made. Thereafter, Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM) and Paeonia lactiflora (PL) were given to the rats. Survival rate of rats and liver coefficient (liver weight/body weight) were observed. Changes of ALT and bilirubin in serum were detected.

BACKGROUND Salvia przewalskii Maxim. (Lamiaceae) is a Chinese herbal medicine that has long been used for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE The study investigated the therapeutic efficacy of S. przewalskii total phenolic acid extract (SPE) on immune complex glomerulonephritis (ICG)
