gentiana verna/necrosis

BACKGROUND The flowers of Gentiana macrophylla have been usually applied to cure the joint inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis in Traditional Chinese Medicine. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to investigate the anti-rheumatoid arthritic effect and possible mechanism of iridoid glycosides from G.

The nonstructural protein NS1 of human parvovirus B19 (B19) is known to exacerbate disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, no specific medicine for B19 infection is available. The roots of Gentiana macrophylla Pall. (GM), the traditional Chinese medicine "Qinjiao," have been

Two triterpenoids ursolic acid (1) and lupeol (2) isolated and characterized from Eucalyptus tereticornis and Gentiana kurroo were subjected to in silico QSAR modeling and docking studies and later the predicted results were confirmed through in vivo experiments. QSAR modeling results showed that

Large leaf gentian, Gentiana macrophylla Pall., known as Qin Jiao in Chinese, is a medicinal herb. Its root is most commonly used in Chinese traditional medicine to relieve rheumatic conditions and to remove damp-heat. During a survey in July 2009, large leaf gentian plants exhibiting foliar

Ethnopharmacological relevance: The root of Gentiana dahurica Fisch (called Qin-Jiao in China), a traditional Chinese medicine, is used in China to treat alcoholic liver disease (ALD), but there has been no scientific report on the

This study was undertaken to investigate the protective effects of Gentiana manshurica Kitagawa (GM) on acute alcohol-induced fatty liver. Mice were treated with ethanol (5 g/kg of body weight) by gavage every 12 h for a total of three doses to induce acute fatty liver. Methanol extract of GM (50,

This study was undertaken to elucidate the mechanism of anti-inflammatory action of gentianine, a constituent of Gentiana Macrophylla. The effects of gentianine on lipopolysacharide (LPS)-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines were investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats. For the first

Gentiopicroside (GPS), a main bitter secoiridoid constituent of roots of Gentiana macrophylla Pall., was tested for therapeutic effects on the two hepatic injury models, the CCl4-induced and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-induced hepatitides. An increase in serum level of

The effects of gentiopicroside (Gent), an active component derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Gentiana macrophylla, on lipopolysaccharide-induced astrocyte activation and subsequent neuronal damage were investigated. Gent significantly inhibited the release of tumor necrosis factor-α,

Background: The flowering parts of Gentiana olivieri, known as 'Afat' in the southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey, are used as a tonic, an appetizer, and for the treatment of several mental disorders, including depression. The purpose of this study is to investigate the

Gentiopicroside isolated from gentiana macrophylla Pall. belongs to iridoid glycosides. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of gentiopicroside against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury in mice. Mice were proactively administrated with gentiopicroside by intragastric

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is among the most prevalent forms of autoimmunity. Gentiopicroside (Gent) is an iridoid glucoside derived from the Gentiana Macrophylla Pall which is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat RA. The present study was designed to explore the ability of Gent to

Due to our interest in bioactive plant derived materials, the hepatoprotective activity of the aqueous alcoholic extract of Gentiana spicata AEGS (Gentianaceae) on carbon tetrachloride treated rats was investigated. CCl4 used at a concentration of 1 mL/kg.b.wt. significantly increased the levels of

BACKGROUND The flowers of Gentiana veitchiorum has been widely used in decoction form in the traditional medicine of Tibet against tussis, tracheitis, angina for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and alexipharmic properties. OBJECTIVE The aim of current study was to evaluate the therapeutic
