Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are becoming the major cause of deaths worldwide, and their treatment demands novel therapeutic strategies. In this connection, we have identified p21 activated kinase 1 (PAK1) as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI), where its

We investigated the effect of aqueous extract of Vitex rotundifolia (L.) (Verbenaceae) fruits (VRFE) on the immediate-type allergic reactions in vivo and in vitro. VRFE (10(-4)-1.0 g/kg) dose-dependently inhibited systemic allergic reaction induced by compound 48/80. When VRFE was employed in a

BACKGROUND Vitex rotundifolia has long been used in traditional medicine to treat asthma and other allergic diseases. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of V rotundifolia in cultured A549 human alveolar epithelial cells. METHODS In the present study, A549 cells were stimulated

The compound casticin, isolated from Vitex rotundifolia, exerts anti-inflammatory effects and causes apoptosis of cancer cells. In this study, we explored the anti-inflammatory effects of casticin and modulation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and mucin 5AC

BACKGROUND The fruits of Vitex rotundifolia L. are widely used to treat inflammation of the airway in Traditional Chinese medicine. Previous studies found that casticin, isolated from Vitex rotundifolia, could induce apoptosis of tumor cells. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects

Chasteberry is highly recommended as an herbal medicine across the globe for treating of many gynaecological disorders. In this study, chasteberry extract (CBE) was supplemented in goldfish diet to evaluate the immunity responses at the cellular and molecular levels. Moreover, after the feeding

Natural products are rich in several potent bioactive compounds, targeting complex network of proteins involved in various diseases. Vitex negundo (VN), commonly known as "chaste tree", is an ethnobotanically important plant with enormous medicinal properties. Different species of Vitex vary in

OBJECTIVE Vitex trifolia L. (Labiatae) is a plant commonly employed against Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) in the Pacific region. Here, the anti-inflammatory potential of an aqueous extract of Vitex trifolia leaves was evaluated by monitoring its effects on the modulation of cytokines, the mediators

Previously, we discovered a new compound, 1H,8H-Pyrano[3,4-c]pyran-1,8-dione (PPY), from Vitex rotundifolia L. and evaluated its anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic effects. In this study, we synthesized a new, modified compound 4-acetyl-3-methyl-6-(2-bromophenyl)pyrano[3,4-c]pyran-1,8-dione
