Chronic airway inflammation is a hallmark of asthma, which is an immune-based disease. We evaluated the ability of saucerneol D, a tetrahydrofuran-type sesquilignan isolated from Saururus chinensis, to regulate airway inflammation in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced airway inflammation model. Furthermore,

It was reported previously that ESP-102, a combined extract of Angelica gigas, Saururus chinensis and Schizandra chinensis, significantly improved scopolamine-induced memory impairment in mice and protected primary cultured rat cortical cells against glutamate-induced toxicity. To corroborate this

We used primary cultures of rat hepatocytes injured by the hepatotoxin, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), as a test system to screen for hepatoprotective compounds from natural products. Sauchinone was isolated from the aerial parts of Saururus chinensis (Saururaceae) by this method. At a concentration

Natural products are known to be sources of bioactive components exerting antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. We evaluated the suppressive effects of the methanol extract (0-45 microg/mL) of the aerial parts of Saururus chinensis (Lour.) Baill (Saururaceae) on lipopolysaccharide

This study investigated the preventive effect of Saururus chinensis Baill against renal damage induced by a high-fructose diet in rats. The rats (n = 30) were fed either a cornstarch-based (65%), high-fructose (65%), or high-fructose (64.5%) diet with 0.5% S. chinensis Baill extract for 10 weeks.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight induces matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression, which are responsible for collagenous extracellular matrix proteins breakdown in skin, causing photoaging. Sauchinone is reported to have various bioactivity such as antioxidative, hepatoprotective, and

Manassantin A, a neolignan isolated from Saururus chinensis, is a major phytochemical compound that has various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, neuroleptic, and human acyl-CoA : cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitory activities. In this study, we investigated the

This study was to investigate the preventive effect of taemyeongcheong (TMC, a Korean traditional health drink) on acetaminophen (APAP, 800 mg/kg BW)-induced hepatic damage in ICR mice. TMC is prepared from Saururus chinensis, Taraxacum officinale, Zingiber officinale, Cirsium setidens, Salicornia
