eleutherococcus seoulensis/necrosis

It is established that pretreatment with Leuzea carthamoides extract (LCE) (1 ml/kg per os during 8 days) prevents the development of stress-induced (6-hr painful-emotional stress) damage of the rat heart. A chronic administration of LCE (1 ml/kg per os during 8 days) increased the cardiac tolerance

The prognosis for fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) still remains extremely poor with a high mortality and, therefore, better treatments are urgently needed. Syringin, a main active substance isolated from Eleutherococcus senticosus, has been reported to exhibit immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory

Acanthopanax trifoliatus is a well-known herb that is used for the treatment of bruising, neuralgia, impotence, and gout in Taiwan. This herb exhibits multifunctional activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammation, and antioxidant effects. This paper investigated the in vitro and in vivo

The immunomodulatory properties of a diterpene lactone andrographolide and Kan Jang--a standardized fixed combination of Andrographis paniculata extract SHA-10 and Eleutherococcus senticosus extract SHE-3 were investigated. Their role on spontaneous and phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced proliferation

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of joint pain and disability, resulting in large socioeconomic costs worldwide. Isofraxidin (ISO), a bioactive coumarin compound isolated from the functional foods Siberian ginseng and Apium graveolens, exerts anti-inflammatory effects in a variety of diseases.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether Eleutherococcus senticosus stems could attenuate D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide-induced fulminant hepatic failure in mice. E. senticosus, known as Siberian ginseng, is a popular folk medicine used as a tonic in Asia. Preparations of E. senticosus

The crude drug "Siberian Ginseng (SG)" has long been used in empirical Oriental medicine for the nonspecific enhancement of resistance in humans and animals. In this study, we investigated the effect of cell cultured SG by oral administration in mast cell-mediated allergic reactions. SG

Five new ent-pimarane (1-3, 7, and 8) and three new ent-kaurane diterpenoids (4-6) and a new oleanane triterpene acid (9), together with 22 known compounds, were isolated from the root bark of the medicinal herb Acanthopanax gracilistylus. The structures of 1-9 were established based on the

Acanthopanax gracilistylus (AGS) has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. 3‑O‑β‑D‑glucopyranosyl 3α, 11α‑dihydroxylup‑20(29)‑en‑28‑oic acid, acantrifoside A, acankoreoside D, acankoreoside B and acankoreoside A are major lupane‑type

In the present study, the potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Acanthopanax divaricatus vat. albeofructus (AE) and acanthoside-D (AD) isolated from AE against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury were investigated in a rat model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-220 g) were

Syringin, a major active substance isolated from Eleutherococcus senticosus, has been found to have anti-inflammatory effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of syringin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. We established

The phytochemical investigation on the roots of Acanthopanax henryi (Araliaceae) resulted in the discovery of twenty compounds whose chemical structures were elucidated by the analysis of 1D-, 2D-NMR, mass spectrometry data, other physicochemical properties, and a comparison of the spectral

Araliasaponin II (AS II) is a bioactive compound isolated from Acanthopanax henryi (Oliv.) Harms, a plant widely used in traditional oriental medicine. The present study investigated the anti‑inflammatory effects of AS II using murine macrophages. The effects of AS II on inflammatory mediator and

The present study aimed to investigate the unknown mechanisms underlying the anti‑inflammatory activity of Ciwujianoside C3 (CJS C3), extracted from the leaves of Acanthopanax henryi Harms, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Cells were treated with CJS C3 for 1 h prior to the

Acanthopanax senticosus, also known as Siberian ginseng, is widely distributed throughout northern Asia and used in traditional Chinese medicine; it has been reported to prevent a number of diseases. However, the association between the antitumour and immunostimulatory activities of polysaccharide
