triterpenoid/edema

Certain steroids and triterpenoids isolated from diverse plant families were known to possess anti-inflammatory activity. In the course of finding new anti-inflammatory natural products, some steroidal and triterpenoid saponins were isolated and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity using

Poria cocos Wolf (P. cocos Wolf) is used to treat chronic gastritis, edema, nephrosis, gastric atony, acute gastroenteric catarrh, dizziness, emesis and vomiting. Triterpenoids are a class of natural compounds produced by P. cocos Wolf that contain acyclic 30-carbon precursors. In this study, we

A series of novel fluorine-containing lupane triterpenoid acid derivatives with fluoroaromatic amide moieties at the C-28 position (1-8) or with 2-(fluoroacyl)cyclopentane-1,3-dione fragments at the C-3 position (9-18) of lupane skeleton was synthesized. A simple synthesis of novel lupane

Ligustrum (privet) plants are used by Chinese physicians to prevent and cure hepatitis and chronic bronchitis. Three common Ligustrum plant spp., namely Ligustrum lucidum Ait. (LL), L. pricei Hayata (LP) and L. sinensis Lour. (LS) were collected to assess their analgesic/anti-inflammatory properties

Six triterpenoid saponins, including a new compound named codonolaside III, were isolated from the roots of Codonopsis lanceolata. The spectral and chemical data revealed the structure of codonolaside III to be 3- O-[ beta- D-xylopyranosyl -(1-->3)- beta- D-glucuronopyranosyl]-3 beta,16

The ethanolic root extract of Codonopsis lanceolata were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using the carrageenan induced rat hind paw edema model and displayed a significant activity of 51.82% inhibition at 200 mg/kg at 3 h (p < 0.05). Further isolation of the extract yielded two new

OBJECTIVE To investigate the nephro-protective effects of total triterpenoids from Psidium guajava leaves (TTPGL) on type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS Diabetic rats were induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 35 mg/kg) and a high-fat diet. Diabetic rats were divided into five

Acanthopanax trifoliatus (L.) Merr., an edible medicinal plant from Southeast Asia, exerts a wide range of bioactivities, such as anti-inflammatory activity. However, the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of its action and active constituents remain unclear. Herein, the effects of two triterpenoids,

To search for antiinflammtory 19alpha-hydroxyursane-type triterpenoids, the MeOH extract of the roots of Rosa rugosa (Rosaceae) was fractionated. The active fraction of the EtOAc extract was hydrolyzed in alkaline solution to give a hydrolyzed fraction. Both extracts showed

The anti-inflammatory activity of hispidol A 25-methyl ether (hispidol A 25-Me ether), a triterpenoid isolated from Ponciri Immaturus Fructus, was studied in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 murine macrophages. It was revealed that hispidol A 25-Me ether dose-dependently inhibits nitric

The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities of the 95% ethanol extract, benzene fraction and isolated triterpenoids of Strobilanthes callosus were investigated. In the carrageenan-induced paw edema inflammation model, the taraxerol showed a high reduction of edema, but the antimicrobial

The anti-inflammatory activities of oleanane triterpenoid glycosides, papyrioside L-IIa, L-IIb, L-IIc and L-IId, extracted from Tetrapanax papyriferum (Araliaceae), and their aglycones, papyriogenin A and C and propapyriogenin A1 and A2, were investigated by using the carrageenin-induced edema and

BACKGROUND The main use of stem bark infusions of Alnus acuminata ssp. arguta (Schlecht.) Furlow (Betulaceae) includes treatments for acute inflammation in Mexican traditional medicine. OBJECTIVE n-Hexane (CHE), chloroform (CCE), and methanol (CME) extracts of the stem bark were investigated for

BACKGROUND Samadera indica belonging to Simaroubaceae family is being used traditionally for many diseases including arthritis, edema, itching, skin diseases, constipation, and general debility. OBJECTIVE The effectiveness of any drug delivery system depends upon its ability to deliver the active

Bioassay guided investigation of whole parts of Polygala japonica afforded two new triterpenoid saponins, characterized as 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl medicagenic acid 28-O-{beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->4)-[beta-D-apiofuranosyl(1-->3)]-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl} ester (1),
