uncaria sinensis/phosphatase

BACKGROUND Rhynchophylline (Rhy) is a major ingredient of Uncaria rhynchophylla (UR) used to reduce blood pressure and ameliorate brain ailments. This study was to examine the role of Rho kinase (ROCK) in the inhibition of Rhy on contraction of cerebral arterioles caused by endothelin 1

UNASSIGNED The hooks and stems of Uncaria sinensis have been used to mitigate cardiovascular and central nervous system disorders in Asia traditional medicine. Regulation of osteoclast differentiation and activity is a major target for preventing and treating pathological bone

We identified a neuroprotective single fraction among 62 ones of hexane extract from Uncaria sinensis (JGH43IA) and investigated its effects and mechanisms in primary cortical neurons. Pretreatment with JGH43IA showed a significantly increase cell viability in a dose-dependent manner with a decrease

We identified a novel neuroprotective compound, 1-methoxyoctadecan-1-ol, from Uncaria sinensis (Oliv.) Havil and investigated its effects and mechanisms in primary cortical neurons and in a photothrombotic ischemic model. In primary rat cortical neurons against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity,

Background: The genus Uncaria (Rubiaceae) has several biological properties significant to human health. However, the mechanisms underlying the protective effect of this plant on bone diseases are uncertain.
