Novel low molecular weight lignins as potential anti-emphysema agents: In vitro triple inhibitory activity against elastase, oxidation and inflammation.

Only registered users can translate articles

No molecule has been found to be effective against emphysema to date primarily because of its complex pathogenesis that involves elastolysis, oxidation and inflammation. We here describe novel unsulfated or sulfated low molecular weight lignins (LMWLs) chemo-enzymatically prepared from

Lignin-derived low-molecular-weight oxidized lignophenol stimulates AMP-activated protein kinase and suppresses renal inflammation and interstitial fibrosis in high fat diet-fed mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Excess weight and obesity increase the risk of developing major risk factors for chronic kidney disease. Lignin comprises 20%-30% of the global plant biomass; however, it is not well utilized because of its resistance to chemical and biological degradation. We investigated whether

Effect of lignin-derived lignophenols on vascular oxidative stress and inflammation in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lignophenols (LP) are the derivatives of native lignin, which is an abundant organic polymer in the plant kingdom. This study investigated whether LP can attenuate vascular oxidative stress and inflammation in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The diabetic rats induced by a single

Lignin-graft-Polyoxazoline Conjugated Triazole a Novel Anti-Infective Ointment to Control Persistent Inflammation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lignin, one of the most abundant renewable feedstock, is used to develop a biocompatible hydrogel as anti-infective ointment. A hydrophilic polyoxazoline chain is grafted through ring opening polymerization, possess homogeneous spherical nanoparticles of 10-15 nm. The copolymer was covalently

Removal of hazardous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from aqueous solutions by biosorbent based on chitin and lignin.

Only registered users can translate articles

The use of chitin modified with kraft lignin as an effective sorbent of ibuprofen and acetaminophen is described for the first time. It was determined how the parameters (contact time, pH, mass of sorbent and temperature) influence the effectiveness of the adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics

Lignin-derived lignophenols attenuate oxidative and inflammatory damage to the kidney in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study investigated the effects of lignin-derived lignophenols (LPs) on the oxidative stress and infiltration of macrophages in the kidney of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The diabetic rats were divided into four groups with 0%, 0.11%, 0.33% and 1.0% LP diets. The vehicle-injected

Nexus Between Immune Responses and Oxidative Stress: The Role of Dietary Hydrolyzed Lignin in ex vivo Bovine Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Response.

Only registered users can translate articles

The control of immune responses is particularly critical when an increase of oxidative stress occurs, causing an impairment of immune cell response and a condition of systemic inflammation, named oxinflammation. Nutritional strategies based on the use in the diet of phytochemicals extracted from

Tatarinan O, a lignin-like compound from the roots of Acorus tatarinowii Schott inhibits osteoclast differentiation through suppressing the expression of c-Fos and NFATc1.

Osteoclasts (OC) are large multinucleated cells derived from monocyte/macrophage precursors. Suppressing osteoclastogenesis is considered as an effective therapeutic approach to erosive bone disease. The root of Acorus tatarinowii Schott, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine was used to treat

Sulfated, low molecular weight lignins inhibit a select group of heparin-binding serine proteases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sulfated low molecular weight lignins (LMWLs), designed as oligomeric mimetics of low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs), have been found to bind in exosite II of thrombin. To assess whether sulfated LMWLs recognize other heparin-binding proteins, we studied their effect on serine proteases of the

Anti-inflammatory activities of fractions from Geranium nepalense and related polyphenols.

Only registered users can translate articles

Geranium nepalense Sweet is a common Chinese herbal medicine and has been used as influenza, dysentery, antiphlogistic and analgesic tonic, hemostatic, stomachic, and antidiabetic drugs. The anti-inflammatory effects of G. nepalense on tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA)-induced mouse ear edema were

meso-Dihydroguaiaretic acid attenuates airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion in an ovalbumin-induced murine model of asthma.

Only registered users can translate articles

meso-Dihydroguaiaretic acid (MDGA), which is a dibenzylbutane lignin isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of Saururus chinensis, has various biological activities, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and neuroprotective effects. However, no report has examined the

Cytotoxicity and biological capacity of sulfur-free lignins obtained in novel biorefining process.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lignin is one of the most promising and versatile products obtained in biorefineries due to its diverse therapeutic properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. However, these properties depend on the source of lignin and the way it was isolated from the biomass. In

Low molecular weight lignin suppresses activation of NF-kappaB and HIV-1 promoter.

The use of raw materials obtained by waste and processed through innovative industrial methodologies has generated an industry of about a trillion dollars in a short time, and in the near future will provide resources and services for the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources in

A highly bioactive lignophenol derivative from bamboo lignin exhibits a potent activity to suppress apoptosis induced by oxidative stress in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Approaches to protection against neurodegenerative diseases, in which oxidative stress and inflammation are implicated, should be based on the current concept on the etiology of these diseases. Recently, a new therapeutic strategy has been proposed to protect neurons from cell death by attenuating
