Biological activities of lipopolysaccharide-like (LPS-like, phenol/water extract) and endotoxin-like (butanol/water extract) preparations from Trepomena hyodysenteriae were examined. The treponemal phenol/water and butanol/water extracts were less toxic than E. coli LPS for murine peritoneal exudate

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria is a classic inducer of inflammatory cytokines. In the present experiments, LPS-like (phenol/water extract) or endotoxin-like (butanol/water extract) preparations from Serpulina hyodysenteriae were examined for their ability to induce serum tumor

Sepsis, which is caused by severe infection, is an important cause of mortality, but effective clinical treatment against sepsis is extremely limited. As the main component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays a major role in inflammatory responses. Studies

BACKGROUND WIN-34B is a novel Oriental medicine, which represents the n-butanol fraction prepared from dried flowers of Lonicera japonica Thunb and dried roots of Anemarrhena asphodeloides BUNGE. The component herb of WIN-34B is used for arthritis treatment in East Asian countries. The aim of this

Ipomoea stolonifera (I. stolonifera) has been used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases including rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis in Chinese traditional medicine. However, the anti-inflammatory activity of I. stolonifera has not been elucidated. For this reason, the anti-inflammatory

2-Methyl-2-butanol (MBT) is a chemical compound from the group of alcohols more specifically pentanols, which has shown an excellent anti-cancer activity in our previous study. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. The present study was designed to investigate the anti-cancer effect of

Cordyceps species have been known since long as a multi-utility ethnomedicinal herbal in Korea, China and Japan. It has been reported to exhibit a number of properties such as anti-oxidative, anti-cancer, antiinflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity effects. In a previously conducted study, we

Pterocephalus hookeri (C. B. Clarke) Höeck, recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 version) as a Tibetan medicine for the treatment of various diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis, was believed to possess a slight toxicity. However, hardly any research has been carried out about it.

The inhibitory activities of the Cordyceps pruinosa butanol fraction (Cp-BF) were investigated by determining inflammatory responses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW264.7 macrophage cells and by evaluating HCl/ethanol (EtOH)-triggered gastric ulcers in mice. The molecular mechanisms of the

The Jing-Fang powder n-butanol extract (JFNE) has anti-inflammatory properties; however, its active ingredient remains unknown. In addition, the mechanism by which JFNE exerts its anti-inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in RAW264.7 cells is yet to be explored. In

The LPS-induced RAW264. 7 cells inflammation model was used as a carrier to investigate the in vitro anti-inflammation effects of Jingfang n-butanol extraction(JFNE) isolated fraction A and explore its preliminary anti-inflammation mechanism by observing the regulatory effect on PI3 K/AKT signaling

We have investigated the effects of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (rhTNF alpha) on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), concentrating on the mechanisms involved in the alterations of PMN-directed migration and adherence by this cytokine. RhTNF alpha profoundly suppressed PMN

BACKGROUND To determine the antitumor effects and its mechanism of n-butanol fraction from aril of Torreya grandis (BFAT) on H22 mice models of liver cancer. METHODS Sixty ICR male mice were used to establish H22 mice models of liver cancer and then randomly divided into six groups, the normal

Moringaceae, which belongs to the Moringa oleifera Lam. family, is a well-known herb used in Asian medicine as an antiallergic drug. In the present study, the efficacy of the n-butanol extract of the seeds of the plant (MONB) is examined against ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation in guinea pigs.

OBJECTIVE Although there has been some success with protein-based anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) therapeutics, the problems associated with protein-based drugs demand alternative approaches. We screened various herbal extracts for their ability to inhibit TNF-alpha secretions and found
