euonymus alatus/항진균제

Our previous studies have clearly shown that the angiogenic enzymes, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -2/9, are directly involved in human hepatic tumorigenesis and metastasis and suggest that the MMP-2/9 inhibitors, which have dual inhibitory activities on enzyme activity and transcription, represent

Two structurally different chitin-binding proteins were isolated from bark and leaves of the spindle tree (Euonymus europaeus L.). Both the small hevein-like chitin-binding protein (Ee-CBP) and the classical class-I chitinase (Ee-chitinase) possess antifungal properties, Ee-CBP being far more potent

Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of chronic renal failure. Recently, Euonymus alatus showed therapeutic potential in the treatment of diabetes and its chronic complications. In this study, effects of Euonymus alatus and its mechanism in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy were investigated.

The process of bone metabolism includes catabolism of old or mature bone and anabolism of new bone, carried out by osteoclasts and osteoblasts respectively. Any imbalance in this process results in loss of bone mass or osteoporosis. Drugs available to combat osteoporosis have certain adverse effects

Euonymus japonicus Thunb. is a popular, woody, ornamental plant in China. From June to September 2010, severe outbreaks of powdery mildew occurred on all investigated E. japonicus plants used for hedges in Zhoukou and Shangqiu cities of Henan province in central China, which is the second largest

BACKGROUND The transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) is constitutively activated in many human cancers. It promotes tumor cell proliferation, inhibits apoptosis, induces angiogenesis and metastasis, and suppresses antitumor host immune responses. Therefore,

Ee-CBP, a hevein-type antimicrobial peptide was isolated from the bark of the spindle tree (Euonymus europaeus L.). This 4992.5 Da protein exhibited a very strong antifungal activity against five different fytopathogenic fungi that were tested. Concentrations required to inhibit the growth of

A small 45 amino acid residue antifungal polypeptide was isolated from the bark of spindle tree (Euonymus europaeus L.). Though the primary structure of this so-called E. europaeus chitin-binding protein or Ee-CBP is highly similar to the hevein domain, it distinguishes itself from most previously

BACKGROUND Euonymus alatus, Radix trichosanthis, Panax notoginseng and Coptis chinensis are popular plants used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diabetes. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to investigate the therapeutic effect of the active components of Euonymus alatus, Radix trichosanthis,
