Shikonin is one of the active components isolated from the dry root of Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst (AERJ). It has been shown to have anti inflammatory activity on formaldehyde induced paw swelling in rats. Preparations of AERJ has been used clinically in curing phlebitis and vascular purpura. In

[Pharmacological studies of Shikon and Tooki. (2) Pharmacological effects of the pigment components, Shikonin and acetylshikonin].

Only registered users can translate articles

Pharmacological effects of Shikonin and Acetylshikonin, pigment components of Shikon were studied in mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. The only difference between the chemical structures of the two pigments is that Acetylshikonin has the acetyl radical, while Shikonin does not. Though the

Inflammatory damage plays an important role in cerebral ischemic pathogenesis and represents a new target for treatment of stroke. Shikonin has gained attention for its prominent anti-inflammatory property, but up to now little is known about shikonin treatment in acute ischemic stroke. The aim of

Anti-inflammatory activity of shikonin derivatives from Arnebia hispidissima.

Only registered users can translate articles

Arnebia hispidissima ethanolic extract, after chromatography, yielded a number of shikonin derivatives, which were identified as arnebin-5, arnebin-6, teracryl shikonin, arnebinone and acetyl shikonin. All these compounds were firstly reported from this plant species and evaluated to the

A comparative study on anti-inflammatory activities of the enantiomers, shikonin and alkannin.

Only registered users can translate articles

A pharmacological comparison between the enantiomers, shikonin (R) and alkannin (S), was made with regard to their inhibitory effects on the increased capillary permeability and thermal edema in rats, using phenylbutazone as a positive control in both models. The results of experiments have shown
