Abstract Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease with limited therapeutic options at present, epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) recognized as major cause of fibrosis. Our previous work has confirmed that total extract Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge [Asparagaceae] exerted the effect anti‐PF. As main constituent [Asparagaceae], timosaponin BII (TS BII) on drug‐induced EMT process in PF animals alveolar epithelial cells remains unknown. In this study,...
Abstract In this study, we investigated the protective effects of gastrodin (Gas) against homocysteine‐induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury and role phosphoinositide 3‐kinase (PI3K)/threonine kinase 1 (Akt)/endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) NF‐E2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) pathways. We stimulated cells with homocysteine (1 mmol/L, 24 hours) tested (200‐800 μg/mL) on viability production malondialdehyde (MDA), lactate...
Abstract Corydalis yanhusuo W.T. Wang is a classic herb that frequently used in traditional Chinese medicine and efficacious promoting blood circulation, enhancing energy, relieving pain. Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are the main bioactive ingredients . However, few studies have investigated BIA biosynthetic pathway C. , of species-specific chemicals such as tetrahydropalmatine remains unclear. We performed full-length transcriptomic metabolomic analyses to identify candidate genes...
Exosome-miR-146a is significantly increased in patients with Atherosclerosis (AS), but its mechanism and effect on AS have not been fully elucidated.
Burdock roots are rich in inulin-type burdock fructooligosaccharide (BFO). However, the antidiabetic effect of BFO remains unknown. In this study, was purified using DEAE-52 and G-75. The purity 99.4%, peak-average molecular weight (Mp) 2958 Da. inhibited α-glucosidase activity with an IC50 0.4996 mg/mL. Streptozotocin (STZ) high-fat diet (HFD) induced diabetic mice were used to test anti BFO. reduced fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, relieved rapid loss, improved tolerance after six weeks...
Ulcerative colitis (UC), as a chronic inflammatory disease, presents global public health threat. However, the mechanism of
The green and efficient preparation of natural products from biomass is considered an important area interest in pharmaceutical applications. In this study, we aimed to provide a practical example with popular traditional Chinese medicine, Anemarrhenae Rhizome, showcase the orthogonal use column chromatography polyamide macroporous adsorption resins selectively concentrate efficiently purify four bioactive compounds: neomangiferin (NMF), mangiferin (MF), timosaponin B‐II (TS B‐II), A‐III...

Abstract Background Green and economic conversion of spirostanol saponins in the plant is considered as an attracting area pharmaceutical applications. We aimed to provide a practical paradigm named limewater-based (LCSS), meanwhile, widely-used traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Paridis Rhizoma (PR), was selected case study. Methods Based on single factor experiments, response surface methodology (RSM) using Box-Behnken design (BBD) employed optimize processing time, limewater...
Clinopodii herba is a folk herbal medicine for treatments of hemorrhagic disorders. However, there not even quantitative standard clinopodii deposited in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The development strategy rapid and efficient extraction simultaneous detection multiple components therefore great value its quality evaluation. Here, variable wavelength was firstly applied to quantity by segmental monitoring UHPLC with diode array detector following ultrasound-assisted extraction. parameters...
