Anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of the buds from different species of Populus in human gingival fibroblast cells: role of bioflavanones

ConclusionThe potential protective role of pinocembrin and pinostrobin and extracts from buds Populus nigra and P. × berolinensis against AgNPs induced inflammation and cytotoxicity in HGF-1 cells is disclosed. In addition, the antioxidant properties of poplar bud extracts have been demonstrated. P. × berolinensis buds showed the highest activity in both the in vitro model and in the bioautographic tests.Graphical Abstract
