Two new neolignans, piperkadsin A (1) and piperkadsin B (2), as well as 11 known neolignans, three known alkaloids, the highly oxygenated compound (+)-crotepoxide, and stigmasterol were isolated from the stems of Piper kadsura. The anti-inflammatory activities of these compounds were evaluated.
In a continuing search for PAF antagonists, five benzofuran neolignans have been isolated from the aerial part of Piper kadsura (Choisy) Ohwi, a Chinese traditional drug used for the treatment of inflammation and rheumatic conditions. The structure determination was based upon spectroscopic
Macrophages infiltrate tissues in response to chemoattractants including complement 5a (C5a). Infiltrating macrophages clear microorganisms but also can cause tissue damage. We hypothesized that prevention of macrophages from excessive recruitment into infected sites may underlie the
Anti-inflammatory activities of ethanol extracts from nine vine plants used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat inflammatory conditions were evaluated against a panel of key enzymes relating to inflammation. The enzymes included cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), phospholipase
