The emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors, a novel class immunotherapy drugs, represents major breakthrough in cancer immunotherapy, substantially improving patient survival post-treatment. Blocking programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and death protein-1 (PD-1) has demonstrated promising clinical results various human types. US FDA recently permitted only monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based PD-L1 or PD-1 blockers. Although these antibodies exhibit high antitumor efficacy, their size-...
Achillea alpina is widely distributed in Korea and often used as a folk medicine for stomach disorders. Although previous study isolated antioxidant compounds (flavonoid O-glucoside, sesquiterpene) from this plant, no systematic of its chemical constituents had been reported. The present aimed to identify the phytochemicals methanol extract A. alpina, assess their potential activities vitro, determine effects on melanogenesis B16F10 melanoma cells. Column chromatographic separation aqueous...
Eleven compounds (1–11) were isolated from the rhizomes of Osmunda japonica, and their structures elucidated based on1H,13C-NMR LC-IT-TOF MS data. Of these compounds, all (1 – 11) have been previously reported, although five (6 9, not this plant. The antioxidant activities measured by DPPH ABTS assays, compound 10 showed high activity.
Stachys sieboldii MIQ. (Labiatae) is native to Northern China and widely distributed in North America, Asia, Europe. S. has been used Chinese folk medicine for the treatment of ischemic stroke, senile dementia, various gastrointestinal problems. Previous phytochemical pharmacological studies on this plant reported isolation terpenes, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, it having antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor activities. In our continuing efforts study secondary metabolites natural...

Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. (lotus) is an important medicinal plant, and many parts of the plant have been investigated for their therapeutic effects. However, effect receptacles lotuses on pathological cardiomyocyte hypertrophy has not yet. Therefore, current study aimed to determine protective lotus against angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced in vitro. Ang was used induce H9c2 cells. The receptacle powder (MeOH extract receptaculum Nelumbinis; MRN) experiments prepared by MeOH extraction...
Phytochemical investigation of the methanol extract aerial parts Iris minutiaurea (Iridaceae) using column chromatography led to isolation a new xanthone glycoside, 1-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-xanthone-6-O-β-D-glucoside (1), together with one known flavonoid glycoside (2). The structure this compound was elucidated by analysis spectroscopic, including 1D (1H, 13C), 2D NMR (COSY, HMQC, HMBC), and high resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric (HR-FAB-MS) data enzyme hydrolysis. We found...
This study examined the effects of intrathecal areca nut on spinal nerve-ligated and chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (NP), investigated relevance 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) α2-adrenergic receptors to those effects. For drug administration, catheters were inserted into subarachnoid space male Sprague-Dawley rats. NP was induced either by nerve ligation (left nerves L5 L6) or chemotherapeutic injection (intraperitoneal cisplatin, 2 mg/kg/day, once daily for 4 days). Paw withdrawal...
