Alzheimer׳s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with elusive pathogenesis, which accounts for most cases of dementia in the aged population. It has been reported that persistent inflammatory responses and excessive chemotaxis of microglia stimulated by beta-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers in the

Interleukin (IL)-1β serves an important role in the promotion of the growth of osteoarthritis (OA) lesions. Paeoniflorin (PF) has been identified to exert anti‑inflammatory and anti‑arthritic effects. However, it is uncertain whether PF may affect the expression levels of inflammatory mediators in

OBJECTIVE The present study aims to explore the effects of paeoniflorin (PF), a monoterpene glycoside isolated from the roots of Paeonia lactiflora Pallas, on acute lung injury (ALI) and the possible mechanisms. METHODS ALI was induced in mice by an intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of paeoniflorin in cultured RAW264.7 cell line as well as in an experimental model of sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture, and intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of lipopolysaccharide in rats. Results showed that paeoniflorin

Anti-inflammatory properties of paeoniflorin and its derivatives were examined in experimental animals. Paeoniflorin, desbenzoylpaeoniflorin and new monoterpene glucoside 'paeonon' inhibited experimental contact hypersensitivities and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction. Paeonon inhibited tissue

Obesity is associated with a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation. It is considered that the paracrine loop involving free fatty acid (FFA) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α between adipocytes and macrophages establishes an inflammatory vicious cycle that augments the inflammatory changes and

Paeoniflorin (PF), one of the major active ingredients of Chinese peony, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects. However, it has remained unclear whether PF treatment can inhibit allergic inflammation in asthma. In this study, we evaluated the effects of PF on pulmonary

This study determined the effects of paeoniflorin (PF) on the expression of purinergic receptor P2X ligand-gated ion channel 7 (P2X7R) expressed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and production of ATP-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines released by PBMCs in patients with primary Sjögren's

OBJECTIVE Paeoniflorin (PF) is known to have anti-inflammatory and paregoric effects, but the mechanism underlying its analgesic effect remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of PF on Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain and explore the underlying

Paeoniflorin has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, immune regulatory and pain-relieving effects, amongst other roles. However, the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of paeoniflorin on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain under investigation; the objective of the current study was to evaluate

Chronic activation of microglial cells endangers neuronal survival through the release of various proinflammatory and neurotoxic factors. Paeoniflorin (PF), a water-soluble monoterpene glycoside found in the root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall, has a wide range of pharmacological functions, such as

Paeonia suffruticosa, an important traditional herbal medicine, has been reported to prevent the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy through modulating advanced glycation end products-induced inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. However, little was known about the protective effect of the

Paeoniflorin (PF), a monoterpene glucoside, is a primary bioactive component of paeony, the root extract of Paeonia lactiflora. We tested the antioxidant effects of PF and its ability to prevent lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced oxidative stress. We intraperitoneally administered PF (2.5, 5, or 10

During liver surgery, hepatic blood flow needs to be blocked in order to reduce bleeding, which inevitably results in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HI/R). Paeoniflorin (PF) is the main active ingredient of the traditional Chinese herbal medicine peony, which has been shown to exert

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with the inflammatory response in response to amyloid β-peptide (Aβ). Previous studies have suggested that paeoniflorin (PF) shows anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in inflammation-related diseases. However, the impacts of PF on AD have not been
