polygonum equisetiforme/phosphatase

Excessive application of animal manure to the farmland results in enrichment of P in the soil. Phytoremediation is a promising strategy for extracting excess P from manure impacted soil. P uptake characteristics of a mining ecotype (ME) and a non-mining ecotype (NME) of Polygonum hydropiper were

OBJECTIVE Dysregulated tonic tension and calcium sensitization in blood vessels has frequently been observed in many cardiovascular diseases. Despite a huge therapeutic potential, little is known about natural products targeting tonic tension and calcium sensitization. METHODS We screened natural

Seven new stilbene glycosides including three dimers (1-3) and four monomers (4-7) were isolated from the roots of Polygonum multiflorum along with nine previously identified stilbenes (8-16). In addition, two deglucosylated stilbenes, 2a and

Three anthraquinones, Cdc25B phosphatase inhibitors, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the roots of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. (Polygonaceae). Anthraquinones, physcion (1), emodin (2), and questin (3), inhibited the enzymatic activity of Cdc25B phosphatase with IC(50) values of 62.5,

This study investigated the effects and mechanism of Heshouwu (Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.) water extract (HSW) on diabetes-related bone loss in mice. HSW was orally administered (300 mg/kg body weight) to high-fat diet and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice for 10 weeks. HSW significantly

Polygonum multiflorum (PM), a traditional Chinese medicine, is used to treat various diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and hyperlipidemia. However, the influence of PM on osteoporosis in animals is unclear. The present study investigated the antiosteoporotic effect of PM on bone

The root of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. (PM) is utilized to treat many diseases associated with aging. Research also indicates that PM inhibits the proliferation of certain types of cancer cells. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of PM extract (PME) on the

It is important to seek out plant species, high in phosphorus (P) uptake, for phytoremediation of P-enriched environments with a large amount of organic P (Po). P assimilation characteristics and the related mechanisms of Polygonum hydropiper were investigated in hydroponic media containing various

High fructose-feeding is an essential causative factor leading to the development and progression of hepatitis associated with high levels of endotoxin (LPS). Juglanin, as a natural compound extracted from the crude Polygonum aviculare, displayed inhibitory activity against inflammation response and

This present study evaluated the effects of processed P. multiflorum on osteogenesis using Sarcoma osteogenic (SaOS-2) cell lines and osteoclastogenesis of bone marrow-derived macrophage cells (BMM) and to elucidate differences in effect on the expression of bone-related proteins between

Tetrahydroxy stilbene glucoside (TSG), an active component from medicinal herb Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, could block the activity of the tissue renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which plays a critical role in development of diabetic osteoporosis. This study aimed to determine if TSG therapy could

A phytochemical study on a 70% EtOH extract of dried roots of Polygonum multiflorum resulted in the isolation of four undescribed stilbene glucosides, namely multiflorumisides HK (1-4). The structures of the natural products were elucidated by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as well as

BACKGROUND Dried roots of Polygonum multiflorum have traditionally been used in the retarding of aging process in East Asian countries and its extracts exhibit anti-oxidative activities. METHODS Neuroprotective effects of ethyl acetate extract from Polygonum multiflorum (EEPM) were investigated

Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that has been widely used to treat age-associated diseases. Tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside (TSG), also known as 2,3,5,4-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside, is a major component of this herb. The present study was designed to

Oxidative stress can induce apoptosis and decrease activities of osteoblasts. 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (TSG), is a potent antioxidant derived from a Chinese herb Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. To evaluate the protective effect provided by TSG to osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, the
