Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a crucial inflammatory cytokine when hepatocytes are damaged. Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. (Chinese licorice) has been widely used in Chinese herbal prescriptions for the treatment of liver diseases and as food additive. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) reporter gene assay TNF-α-induced HepG2 was screening platform. IκBα phosphorylation p65 translocation were measured by Western blotting, nitric oxide (NO) production inducible synthase (iNOS) expression...
Stroke is the second-leading cause of death worldwide, and tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) only drug used for a limited group stroke patients in acute phase. Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD), traditional Chinese medicine prescription, has long been improving neurological functional recovery stroke. In this study, we characterized therapeutic effect TPA BHD cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CIR) injury mouse model using multiplex proteomics approach. After iTRAQ-based analysis, 1310 proteins...
Hypericum sampsonii Hance (Clusiaceae) is a folk medicine used in Taiwan to treat blood stasis, relieve swelling, and as an anti-hepatitis drug. Two new polyprenylated phloroglucinol derivatives, hypersampsone R (1) S (2), known prenylated benzophenone, hyperibone K (3) were isolated from the aerial parts of H. sampsonii. Their structures determined by extensive 1D 2D NMR, MS spectral analyses.
