caragana sinica/inflammation

Conferols A (1) and B (2), the new 4-hydroxyisoflavones, have been isolated from the dichloromethane sub-fraction of the methanolic extract of Caragana conferta along with 3',5'-dihydroxy, 7,4'-dimethoxyisoflavone (3), E-cinnamic acid (4), tetracosyl 3,4-dihydroxy-E-cinnamate (5), docosyl

Caragana microphylla can antagonize the inflammation induced by carrageenin, hot water and croton oil. It can also inhibit the proliferation of granuloma, blood capillary permeability, phagocytic function of mononuclear phagocyte system, and synthesis or release of PGE2 at the inflamed part.

Conferin (1), a new isoflavone, has been isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of Caragana conferta Benth. along with seven known compounds, namely biochanin A (2), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (3), 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (4), ursolic acid (5), erythrodiol (6), pinoresinol (7), and

BACKGROUND Caragana tangutica KOM has been used to treat arthritis, wounds, fever and other disease conditions in traditional Chinese medicine (TMC). To support the application of the plant in traditional Chinese medicine by investigating the anti-inflammatory effects of the ethyl acetate extract of

Kobophenol A (KPA) is a biologically active natural compound isolated from the roots of Caragana sinica (Buc'hoz) Rehder (C. sinica). However, the anti-inflammatory effects of KPA have not been reported. This study aims to find out whether KPA isolated from roots of C. sinica can act as a potential

Two new chalcone-isoflavone dimers, caraganins A (1) and B (2), two new chalcone dimers, caraganins C (3) and D (4), and eight known compounds (5-12) were obtained from the red heartwood of the rhizomes of Caragana jubata. The structures of caraganins

The roots of Caragana chamlagu Lamarck (Leguminosae) are used as an anti-neuralgic, anti-rheumatic, anti-arthritic, etc. in the folk medicine of Korea. An ether extract was fractionated with monitoring of the anti-inflammatory activity, and the active principle was elucidated as (+)-alpha-viniferin

Because of the critical role of over-activated microglia in the progress of neurodegenerative diseases, it has been selected as a potential therapeutic target for drug discovery. In order to find natural neuroinflammatory inhibitors, we carried out a bioactivity-oriented phytochemical research of

Pruinosanone A (1), a novel spirochromone, was isolated from the roots of Caragana pruinosa. Two biogenetically related isoflavone intermediates, pruinosanones B and C (2 and 3), were also isolated, together with five known analogs identified as 3-hydroxy-9-methoxypterocarpan (4),

The genus Caragana is a member of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae and is native to arid and semi-arid areas of the temperate zones of Asia and Eastern Europe. Many species are cultured for dune-fixation, livestock forage and biological resources for fuel energy and fiber production. More

BACKGROUND Caragana pruinosa Kom. is a deciduous shrub belonging to the genus of Caragana (Leguminosae), and Caragana plants exhibit a wide range of interesting pharmacological properties including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-arthritis activity, etc. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to

Angiogenesis plays important roles in pathological conditions such as cancer and inflammation as well as normal tissue development and homeostasis. Here, we investigated the effects and molecular mechanisms of α-viniferin, an oligostilbene isolated from Caragana sinica, on human umbilical vein

Previous studies have demonstrated that total flavonoid extracts from Caragana sinica (TFC) exert multiple therapeutic effects, promote blood flow, and exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The present study aimed to investigate whether TFC promotes angiogenesis and exerts

The oligomeric stilbenes (+)-alpha-viniferin (1), miyabenol C (2), and kobophenol A (3) have been isolated from Caragana sinica (Buchoz) Rehd (Leguminosae). (+)-alpha-Viniferin (1) and miyabenol C (2) exhibited protein kinase C inhibitory activity at low micromolar concentrations.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of seed oil of Caragana korshinskii Kom. against Trichophyton mentagrophytes on an in vivo guinea pig model of dermatophytosis. METHODS The skin of albino guinea pigs was infected with T. mentagrophytes, and the animals were divided
