An antioxidative fraction was extracted from green tea and the major compounds in the fraction identified as epicatechins. Experimental results showed that green tea epicatechin compounds (GTEC) inhibited the mutagenicity and/or chromosomal damage caused by different carcinogens in both bacterial
(-)-Epicatechin-3-O-β-d-allopyranoside (ECAP) is isolated from the popular Chinese herbal medicine Davallia formosana, which has been used to treat bone diseases including bone fracture, arthritis, and osteoporosis.To investigate the antiarthritic and the Hit, Lead & Candidate Discovery The acetic acid-induced writhing and hot plate models in mice were utilized to determine the analgesic effect of epicatechin gallate (ECG) isolated from Bauhinia hookeri. The anti-inflammatory activity of ECG was determined using carrageenan-induced paw edema model.
OBJECTIVE
In the wake of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a devastating stroke with no effective treatment, hemoglobin/iron-induced oxidative injury leads to neuronal loss and poor neurologic outcomes. (-)-Epicatechin (EC), a brain-permeable flavanol that modulates redox/oxidative stress via the
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), which leads to disability, dysfunction, and even death, is a prominent health problem worldwide with no effective treatment. A brain-permeable flavonoid named (-)-epicatechin (EC) modulates redox/oxidative stress and has been shown to be beneficial for vascular and
Exposure of skin to UV radiation can cause diverse biological effects, including induction of inflammation, alteration in cutaneous immune cells and impairment of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses. Our laboratory has demonstrated that oral feeding as well as topical application of a
We evaluated the effect of the hydroethanolic extract of fruits of Vaccinium macrocarpon (HEVm) in a model of acute pancreatitis (AP) in mice. AP was induced by two injections of L-arginine and animals were treated with HEVm (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) or vehicle (saline) every 24 h, starting 1 h
Gleditsia sinensis thorns have traditionally been used to treat edema and carbuncles and drain abscesses. In the present study, a simultaneous analysis of four flavonoids [(+)‑catechin, (‑)‑epicatechin, eriodictyol and quercetin] and two phenolic compounds (caffeic acid and ethyl gallate), obtained
This study addresses the rapid discovery of the active compounds (the original constituents and/or metabolites) of a traditional Chinese drug, Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma (SGR).The aim of this study was to develop a new method to find out the active compounds OBJECTIVE
To prepare the gel of Chinese medicine catechu,study its release mechanism in vitro and observe the anti-inflammatory activity in rats.
METHODS
Using the amount of catechin and epicatechin in dry extract as major evaluation factors, orthogonal experiment was carried out to investigate four
BACKGROUND
Croton urucurana (Euphorbiaceae) is popularly used in Brazil to treat inflammatory processes, pain, and gastric ulcers.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties of the methanol extract from the bark of C. urucurana (MECu) in mice and identify its chemical
Excessive exposure to UVB radiation can lead to oxidative and inflammatory damage that compromises the cutaneous integrity. The application on the skin of photochemoprotective products is considered a relevant approach for the prevention of oxidative damage. In this study the in vitro and in vivo
Active oxygen species are suggested to be concerned with various senile disorders. Tea catechins, (+)catechin (CA), (-)epicatechin (EC) and (-)epigallocatechin gallate, are polyhydroxy-fravan derivatives from tea leaves and have been proposed to possess active oxygen scavenging effect. Tea catechins
BACKGROUND
Guava pomace is an example of the processing waste generated after the manufacturing process from the juice industry that could be a source of bioactives. Thus, the present investigation was carried out in order to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive potential and
Curcuma longa L. is a rhizome plant often used as traditional medicinal preparations in Southeast Asia. The dried powder is commonly known as cure-all herbal medicine with a wider spectrum of pharmaceutical activities. In spite of the widely reported therapeutic applications of C.
