BACKGROUND
Leaf extracts of Betula pendula have been traditionally used for the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the anti-proliferative capacity of an aqueous leaf extract of Betula pendula (BPE) on human primary lymphocytes in vitro,
BACKGROUND
Traditional medicine has widely been used Betula platyphylla var. japonica to treat various inflammatory diseases including arthritis.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, and anti-arthritic effects of Betula platyphylla in interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-stimulated
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of birch leaf (Betula pendula) extract (BPE) on corneal inflammation following keratoplasty in the rat model. T cells were stimulated in vitro in the presence of BPE. Proliferation, activation phenotype and the number of apoptotic/necrotic
OBJECTIVE
Betula platyphylla (B. platyphylla) has traditionally been used in Korea to treat inflammatory diseases. However, the exact mechanism that accounts for the anti-inflammatory effect of B. platyphylla is not completely understood. The aim of the present study is to elucidate whether and how
Betula alnoides is a medicinal plant in Thai traditional longevity preparations. The crude extracts of this plant possess various biological activities. However, the isolated compounds from this plant have no reports of anti-HIV-1 integrase (IN) activity. Therefore, the present study aims to
In the field of inflammation research the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) became an important pharmacological target, since overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) after induction of this enzyme seems to be associated with numerous pathological conditions. NO released from cells can be detected
BACKGROUND
Pentacyclic triterpenes, mainly betulin and betulinic acid, are valuable anticancer agents found in the bark of birch tree. This study evaluates birch bark extracts for the active principles composition.
RESULTS
New improved extraction methods were applied on the bark of Betula pendula in
Background: Acacetin is a di-hydroxy and mono-methoxy flavone present in various plants, including black locust, Damiana, Silver birch. Literature information revealed that acacetin exhibits an array of pharmacological potential including
Betula platyphylla var. japonica (Betulaceae) has been used traditionally in Asian countries for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. A recent study has reported a phenolic compound, platyphylloside from B. platyphylla, that shows inhibition on adipocyte differentiation and induces lipolysis in
The present study evaluates the possibility of allergen-induced unspecific and specific dermal hyperreactivity with special reference to the presence of late cutaneous reactions and allergen-induced nasal hyperreactivity. Twenty-six patients with strictly seasonal allergic rhinitis participated. All
Qualitatively prepared dry extracts are advantaged over conventional fluid extracts. Extracts of Betula pendula Roth leaves possess mild diuretic effects and anti-inflammatory activity. In this work, the spray-drying and lyophilisation processes were evaluated for producing dry extracts of birch
The antiinflammatory activity of Betula alnoides extract was evaluated in acute and subacute inflammation models. The extract was also evaluated for antiinflammatory activity in sheep RBC induced sensitivity and in membrane stabilization models. Except for the sheep RBC induced sensitivity model,
BACKGROUND
The respiratory epithelium is a major site for disease interaction with inhaled allergens. Additional to IgE-dependent effects, allergens contain proteases that may stimulate human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) through protease-activated receptors, causing the release of mediators
Betulae cortex, Betula pendula Roth., Betulaceae, comprise triterpene substances which are confirmed to posses very important pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antiviral. In this study, extraction of triterpene substances from both, inner and external birch bark
The bark of Betula platyphylla Sukat. var. japonica Hara (Asian White Birch, AWB) is one of the herbs used in Eastern countries for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases including atopic dermatitis (AD). The present study was performed to examine if and how the bark of AWB inhibits the
