Steroidal and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, despite their various side effects, are in great demand worldwide. Alternatively, herbal formulations provide relief to a large percentage of the population suffering from inflammatory diseases. Therefore, such practices need to be rationalized

BACKGROUND Conventional therapeutic agents used for treatment of Acne are associated with various adverse effects necessitating development of safe and effective alternative therapeutic agents. In this context, a polyherbal formulation AHPL/AYCAP/0413 was developed for treatment of

The present study aims to evaluate the topical anti-inflammatory activity of "Pinda thailam", a herbal gel formulation containing aqueous extract of roots of Rubia cordifolia (Rubiaceae) and Hemidesmus indicus (Asclepiadaceae) which are known for their anti-inflammatory activity using the technique

Inflammation is a defensive response against a multitude of harmful stimuli and stress conditions such as tissue injury, and is one of the most common pathological processes of human diseases. 6-Hydroxyrubiadin, an anthraquinone isolated from Rubia cordifolia L., exhibits several bioactive

Propionibacterium acnes, an anaerobic pathogen, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acne by inducing certain inflammatory mediators. These mediators include reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. In the present study, ROS, interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis

The objective of the current work was to evaluate the spectrum-effect relationships between high-performance liquid chromatography fingerprints and analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of Rubia cordifolia L. extract (RCE), and to identify active components of RCE. Chemical fingerprints of ten

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an abrupt loss of kidney function and severe AKI needs renal replacement therapeutic strategy and has high mortality. RA-XII is a natural cyclopeptide, isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Rubia yunnanensis, exerting anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities.

BACKGROUND The roots of Rubia cordifolia L. have been widely used as a traditional herbal medicine in Northeast Asia for treating inflammatory diseases. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of 2-carbomethoxy-2,3-epoxy-3- prenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (CMEP-NQ), purified from the roots

Inflammation occurs in a cascade reaction to cause damage in the tissues. It involves increased expression of oxidants and cytokines in the injured tissues. Peptides are chosen for the development of alternate and more selective anti-inflammatory therapies. They are highly specific and significant

BACKGROUND In Shaanxi province, China, the aqueous extract of Rubia cordifolia's aerial part (AERCAP) is traditionally used to manage diarrhea. However, there is no scientific evidence to verify the safety and efficacy of its use. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-diarrheal and

Four new hybrid peptide-polyketide cyclic tridepsipeptides, colletopeptides A-D (1-4), were isolated and characterized from the endophytic fungus Colletotrichum sp. S8 derived from the stems of Rubia podantha with the guidance of LC-UV-MS detection. Their structures were elucidated by extensive

Inducible nitrogen oxide synthase (iNOS) is the primary contributor of the overproduction of nitric oxide and its inhibitors have been actively sought as effective anti-inflammatory agents. In this study, we prepared 70% ethanol extracts from 81 Chinese herbs. These extracts were subsequently

OBJECTIVE The aim was to search for anti-inflammatory and anticancer compounds from three medicinal plants, viz. Ventilago madraspatana Gaertn., Rubia cordifolia Linn. and Lantana camara Linn. METHODS The NO* scavenging potential of selected plant extracts was determined on LPS/IFN-gamma activated

We examined the anti-inflammatory effects of (+)-syringaresinol (SGRS), a lignan isolated from Rubia philippinensis, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells using enzyme-based immuno assay, Western blotting, and RT-PCR analyses. Additionally, in vivo effects of SGRS in the acute

Although mollugin, the main ingredient of the oriental medicinal herb Rubia cordifolia, has considerable anti-inflammatory effects, it has poor aqueous solubility as well as poor metabolic and plasma stability. To overcome these shortfalls, various mollugin derivatives have been synthesized and
