To verify the anti-inflammatory potency of iridoids, seven iridoid glucosides (aucubin, catalpol, gentiopicroside, swertiamarin, geniposide, geniposidic acid and loganin) and an iridoid aglycone (genipin) were investigated with in vitro testing model systems based on inhibition of cyclooxygenase

Severe burns may lead to intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress, resulting in intestinal barrier damage and gut dysfunction. Loganin, an iridoid glycoside compound, has been isolated from Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc; however, its role in the treatment of burn injury is yet to be

Although the incidence rate of dementia is rapidly growing in the aged population, therapeutic and preventive reagents are still suboptimal. Various model systems are used for the development of such reagents in which scopolamine is one of the favorable pharmacological tools widely applied. Loganin

Behavioral disturbances are observed in most patients suffering from diabetes. According to some evidence, pro-inflammatory cytokines have a key role both in diabetes and behavioral disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of loganin, as a

Loganin, iridoid glycosides, is the main bioactive ingredients in the plant Strychnos nux-vomica L. and demonstrates various pharmacological effects, though poor oral bioavailability in rats. In this study, the intestinal absorption mechanism of loganin was investigated using the human

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas, which, in its most severe form, is associated with multi-organ failure and death. Loganin, a major iridoid glycoside obtained from Corni fructus, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-shock effects. However, the effects

Behavioral disturbances are observed in most patients suffering from diabetes. According to some evidence, pro-inflammatory cytokines have a key role both in diabetes and behavioral disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of loganin, as a

Neuroinflammation is closely related with the pathogenesis and progress of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Loganin, an iridoid glycoside obtained from traditional Chinese medicine Cornus officinalis, has properties of inhibiting inflammation and improving memory. The

The plant Ophiorrhiza pumila produces camptothecin (CPT), a kind of terpene indole alkaloid (TIAs) that has been widely used in treatment of cancer. Tryptophan-arginine-lysine-tyrosine (WRKY) transcription factors have been reported to play important roles in plant metabolism and development.

Strychnuxin (1), a new non-glucosidic iridoid, together with four known compounds, IX (2), loganetin (3), loganin (4) and sweroside (5), were isolated from the roots of Strychnos nux-blanda. The structures of all isolated compounds (1-5) were elucidated through their physical properties and by the

Many species of genus Hedyotis (Rubiaceae) were used as folk medicine for treatment of cold, inflammation, cancer and etc. in China. The alcoholic extract of the whole plant of H. chrysotricha showed good hepatoprotective effects. From the alcoholic extract ten iridoids were isolated and their

The cytotoxic activity of crude extracts and their fractions from leaves and roots of G. pohliana was assessed against nine human cancer cell lines: melanoma (UACC-62), breast (MCF-7), breast expressing the multidrug resistance phenotype (NCI-ADR), lung (NCI-460), prostate (PCO-3), kidney (786-0),

Among the pharmacologically important terpenoid indole alkaloids produced by Catharanthus roseus are the anti-cancer drugs vinblastine and vincristine. These two drugs are produced in small yields within the plant, which makes them expensive to produce commercially. Metabolic engineering has focused

Morroniside and loganin are iridoid glycosides extracted from Cornus officinalis, a plant species widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the anti-inflammatory effects of morroniside and loganin in colitis are barely understood. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects

Camptothecin is a monoterpenoid indole alkaloid that exhibits anti-tumor activity. In Ophiorrhiza pumila, production of camptothecin and its related alkaloids was high in the hairy roots, but not in the cell suspension culture derived from hairy roots. To identify the intermediates in camptothecin
