Nandinadomestica (Berberidaceae) has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of cough. This plant is distributed in Korea, Japan, China, and India This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory phytochemicals obtained from the N. domestica fruits. We

Neutrophils act as both messenger and effector which contributed to the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). Targeting neutrophils could be a novel strategy for prevention and treatment of ALI. Selaginella uncinata is widely used as an antitussive, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory herb to treat

Dietes bicolor (Iridaceae) is an ornamental plant used by African local healers to treat diarrhea and dysentery. A new dihydroflavonol, (2R,3R)-3,5,7-trihydroxy-8-methoxyflavanone (1); two known dihydroflavonols, trans-3-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6,7-methylenedioxyflavanone (2) and

BACKGROUND Doradilla is a plant that has a long history in the Mexican traditional system of medicine for gall and renal stones, diuresis, stomach and liver inflammation among other diseases. Major components isolated from these plants include biflavonoids as amentoflavone (1), robustaflavone (2)

We previously reported that amentoflavone isolated from Selaginella tamariscina inhibits the production of nitric oxide (NO) in macrophages via nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) inactivation. Here, we isolated two other bi-flavonoid compounds (sumaflavone and robustaflavone) from Selaginella

BACKGROUND Biflavonoids are the primary constituents of Selaginella doederleinii Hieron, to which different bioactivities have been attributed, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-fungal and anti-virus activity. However, effective methods for separation of these compounds

Like flavonoids, biflavonoids, dimeric flavonoids, and polyphenolic plant secondary metabolites have antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. However, there is limited data on their effects on cytochrome P450 (P450) and uridine 5'-diphosphoglucuronosyl
