OBJECTIVE
Isoliquiritigenin is a chalcone derivative with potential in cancer chemoprevention. Although tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising anti-cancer agent, some cancer cells are resistant to TRAIL treatment. Current studies have tried to overcome
Intestinal epithelial cells play an important role in the mucosal immune reaction in inflammatory bowel diseases via the expression of inflammatory mediators, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Isoliquiritigenin (ISL; 4,2',4'-trihydroxychalcone) has been
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive and serious disease, where exacerbated inflammatory response plays a critical role. Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), an important flavonoid isolated from Glycyrrhizae radix, exhibits a wide range of pharmacological actions including anti-inflammation. Previously
OBJECTIVE
Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), one of the major constituents of Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen (Leguminosae), is reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects, but the relevant anti-inflammatory mechanisms are not completely understood. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been proven to be involved in the
Glycyrrhizae radix (G. radix) has been demonstrated to have hepatoprotective properties. This study determined the therapeutic effects of isoliquiritigenin (isoLQ) in G. radix, against liver injury induced by CCl4 in rats. CCl4 (0.5 ml/kg/d, twice) or CCl4 plus buthionine sulfoximine exerted severe
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) drastically increases worldwide. Persistent hyperglycemia affects body microvasculature causing injuries to kidney producing diabetic nephropathy (DNE). Manifestation of these microvascular complications is associated with disturbed redox homeostasis. The
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a digestive system disease that is associated with a range of complications including intestinal dysfunction. In this study, we determined that the chalcone compound, isoliquiritigenin (ISL), reduces pancreatic and intestinal injury in a mouse model of SAP. These
Isoliquiritigenin (ISL) exhibits antioxidation and anti-inflammation activity. We sought to investigate the effects and mechanism of ISL on the development of atherosclerotic lesions in apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/-) mice. Firstly, we determined that ISL reduced the mRNA levels of inflammatory
BACKGROUND
The study was conducted to scrutinize the outcome of isoliquiritigenin (ISL) against cerebral injury in septic mice.
METHODS
The sepsis was introduced using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) method in experimental mice. The effect of ISL was quantified using the content of brain water and
Human tumor necrosis factor (TNF), first isolated by our group as an anticancer agent, has been now shown to be a primary mediator of inflammation. Till today 19 different members of the TNF superfamily which interact with 29 different receptors, have been identified. Most members of this family
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are extensively used in bone tissue regeneration and local drug delivery. However, the effects of MSNs alone on osteoclast formation and function, as well as the utilization of MSNs to deliver natural molecules against bone resorption, remain unexplored. Here,
In this study, the anti-inflammatory effects of flavonoids isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis (Leguminosae), namely, isoliquiritin (the glycoside of isoliquirigenin) and isoliquiritigenin (the aglycone of isoliquiritin) were evaluated on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7
Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are central pathogenic mechanisms common to many neurological diseases. Isoliquiritigenin (ISL) is a flavonoid in licorice with multiple pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory activity, and has demonstrated protective efficacy Epileptogenesis is a dynamic process initiated by insults to brain and commonly accompanied by cognitive impairment. Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a flavonoid in licorice, has a broad spectrum of biological effects including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, the protective effects of
Licorice (Glycyrrhizae radix) is the roots and stolons of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer or Glycyrrhiza glabra Linnaeus in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. Glycyrrhizae radix has been widely used as a sweetener and a traditional medicine. A Glycyrrhizae radix extract contains many constituents and has
