Caffeoylquinic acids are well known for their prominent antiviral activities. Beyond our expectations, we initially found 3,4,5-Tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (3,4,5-CQME) from L. japonica can facilitate HBV DNA and antigens secretion. This study aimed to investigate its underlying molecular

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a worldwide public issue. In this study, we performed bioactivity-guided screening of the Lonicera hypoglauca Miq. crude extracts to find for naturally chemical entities with anti-HCV activity. Pheophytin a was identified from the ethanol-soluble fraction

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects 200 million people worldwide, and 75% of HCV cases progress into chronic infections, which consequently cause cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV infection is treated with currently considered standard drugs, including direct anti-viral agents (DAAs), alone or

Liver inflammation and excessive accumulation of lipids play a critical role in alcoholic liver diseases (ALD) pathogenesis. Plant polyphenols are widely used to prevent toxic liver damage. The anthocyanin from Lonicera caerulea L. was extracted and purified. The aim of the study was to evaluate the

Lonicera japonica Thunb, rich in chlorogenic acid (CHA), is used for viral upper respiratory tract infection treatment caused by influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus, ect in China. It was reported that CHA reduced serum hepatitis B virus level and death rate of

The protective effects of Lonicera caerulea berry extract (LCBE) against hepatic inflammation and the underlying mechanisms were investigated in a rat model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced chronic liver inflammation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with LPS (200 μg per kg bw) with or

It's a common phenomenon that two kinds or more than two kinds of herbs belong to different parts of the same plant. Lonicera Japonica Flos, Lonicera Japonica Caulis and Lonicera Japonica Folium are the typical representative of this phenomenon. They belong to different parts of the Lonicera
