Astragalus Polysaccharide Promotes Neuronal Injury Repair via the Notch1/NF κB Signaling Axis in the Ventroposterior Thalamic Nucleus in Rats with Focal Cerebral Ischemia
CONCLUSION: After cerebral ischemia, APS can alleviate symptoms of secondary damage to the VPN, which may be attributed to the suppression of the Notch1/NFκB pathway.PMID:38419443 | DOI:10.31083/j.jin2302034 (Source: Journal of Integrative Neuroscience)

Investigation of the molecular mechanism of Danggui Buxue tang in treating lung cancer using network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques
This study used network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques to investigate the molecular targets and pathways of Danggui Buxue Tang (DBT) in treating lung cancer. The compound-target network was constructed using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database (TCMSP), and a lung cancer-specific network was created using the GEO database and Cytoscape software. GO and KEGG pathway analyses were performed to understand the biological processes associated with DBT. The key compounds from Astragalus, kaempferol, and quercetin, and the potential targets are IL-6, IL-1β, FOS, ICAM1, and CCL2. GO enrich...

Astraoleanosides E-P, oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins from the aerial parts of Astragalus membranaceus Bunge and their β-glucuronidase inhibitory activity
In this study, a phytochemical characterization of the aerial parts of A. membranaceusled to the isolation of 29 oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins, including 11 new compounds named astraoleanosides E-P (6-9, 13, 14, 18-22), as well as 18 known ones. The structures of these compounds were elucidated using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Among them, astraoleanoside H (9) and cloversaponin III (15) demonstrated the most potent β-glucuronidase inhibitory activities, with IC50 values of 21.20 ± 0.75 and 9.05 ± 0.47 µM, respectively, compared to the positive control d-sa...

Astragalus root increases Treg and Th17 involvement in embryo implantation and pregnancy maintenance by decreasing CTLA-4 < sup > + < /sup > Tregs
Drug Discov Ther. 2024 Feb 21. doi: 10.5582/ddt.2023.01100. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMaintenance of pregnancy is highly dependent on the maternal immune system. High levels of regulatory T cells (Tregs) accumulate in the maternal placenta to suppress immunoreactivity against fetal antigens. We assessed whether Astragalus root (AsR) and AsR-containing Kampo medicines modulate immunoreactivity and thereby increase mouse litter size. AsR-exposed murine splenocytes exhibited significantly increased IL-2 secretion. In AsR-exposed mice, total Tregs were significantly increased, whereas cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA...
