sorbus microphylla/inflammation

Feeding high fructose (Frc) to rats induces a moderate increase in blood pressure, which is associated with insulin resistance. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of the methanol extract of Sorbus commixta cortex (MSC) on vascular inflammation in a rat model of the metabolic

BACKGROUND Sorbus commixta Hedl. (Rosaceae) is a well known traditionally valuable medicinal plant in Korea, China and Japan. This plant has been prescribed for long time for various inflammatory symptoms such as asthma, bronchitis, gastritis and dropsy. OBJECTIVE Although a number of

The bark of Sorbus commixta has been used in Asian traditional medicine for treatment of cough, asthma, bronchial disorders, gastritis and dropsy. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of β-sitosteryl-3-O-β-glucopyranoside, a major compound of the bark of S. commixta, is poorly understood. In this

Lupeol is a lupane-type triterpene isolated from Sorbus commixta, an oriental medicine used to treat arthritis and inflammatory diseases. However, the antiosteoporotic effects of S. commixta or any of its constituents have not been studied yet. In the present study, we have examined the effect of

Chronic inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis by administration of high dose of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME) induces vascular inflammation and subsequent atherosclerosis. We aimed to investigate whether the methanol extract of Sorbus commixta cortex (MSC) is able to prevent

From the stem bark of Sorbus commixta, two new phenolic glycosides, sorcomisides A and B (1 and 2), were isolated along with 10 known compounds. The structures of the isolates were determined by analysis of one-dimensional and two-dimensional NMR (1D- and 2D-NMR) data and high resolution (HR)-MS,

Tumor metastasis is a main cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Thus, a number of medicinal herbs and phytochemicals have been investigated as possible candidates for the inhibition of cancer metastasis. Sorbus commixta Hedl. (SC) is a traditional medicinal plant used in the treatment of

Polyphenol-rich plant extracts might alleviate the negative impact of oxidative stress and inflammation, but careful phytochemical standardisation and evaluation of various mechanisms are required to fully understand their effects. In this context, flower extracts of Sorbus aucuparia L.-a

The Sorbus spp. are valuable plants, which have been used for ornamental purposes, in traditional medicines and less seldom in foods. Recent studies have revealed different anatomical parts of the Sorbus spp. to contain valuable phytochemicals demonstrating various bioactivities.

UNASSIGNED Rhinoviruses (RVs) cause common cold and are associated with exacerbation of chronic inflammatory respiratory diseases. Until now, no clinically effective antiviral chemotherapeutic agents to treat diseases caused by human rhinoviruses (HRVs) have been reported. We assessed the anti-HRV3

Drug-related hepatotoxicity has become a serious social issue nowadays. Acetaminophen (APAP) was widely used in clinical treatment, although commonly acknowledged that it is a general material that caused drug-related hepatotoxicity. In this study, triterpenoids (Trds) which are mainly composed of
