Two new diterpenoids, konishone (1) and 3b-hydroxy-5,6-dehydrosugiol (2), along with three known diterpenoids--hinokiol (3), sugiol (4), and 12-hydroxy-6,7-secoabieta-8,11,13-triene-6,7-dial (5)--were isolated from the wood of Cunninghamia konishii. Compound 1 is a novel skeleton of the

Ginseng (Panax ginseng) has been reported to exert an anti-inflammatory activity in a variety of inflammatory condition. However, inflammation-regulatory activity of wood-cultivated ginseng has not been thoroughly evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of wood-cultivated

A new aporphine, 3-hydroxyhernandonine (1) and a new lignin, 4'-O-demethyl-7-O-methyldehydropodophyllotoxin (2), have been isolated from the root wood of Hernanadia nymphaeifolia, together with thirteen known compounds (3⁻15). The structures of these compounds were determined through mass

Sixteen new 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone dimers, including four pairs of enantiomers (1a/1b, 3a/3b, 6a/6b, and 8a/8b), along with eight optically pure analogues (2, 4, 5, 7, and 9-12) were isolated from the resinous wood of Aquilaria sinensis. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic

Two wood-derived cellulose nanofibril (CNF) porous scaffolds were prepared by TEMPO-oxidation and carboxymethylation. The effects of these scaffolds on the production of inflammatory cytokines by human macrophage-like cells (U937) was profiled in vitro after 1 and 3 days and in subcutaneous tissues

The fungus Daedalea quercina (oak mazegill) was examined for its capability of producing antioxidative and anti-inflammatory compounds. Bioactivity guided fractionation of the extract from a mycelial culture led to the isolation of quercinol, which was identified as

Chamaecyparis obtusa Siebold & Zucc. f.formosana Hayata (Cupressaceae) is one of the treasured conifers in Taiwan. In this study, the wood essential oil of the species was extracted and its anti-inflammatory bioactivities analyzed. The composition analysis of the essential oil yielded a total of 57

The volatile oil extracted by steam distillation of the wood of Cedrus deodara was examined for its oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity at the doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight. It produced significant inhibition of carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and of both exudative-proliferative

Background: Acute and chronic exposures to biomass wildfire smoke pose significant health risks to firefighters and impacted communities. Susceptible populations such as asthmatics may be particularly sensitive to wildfire effects. We examined pulmonary responses to biomass smoke generated
