Emodin Blocks mPTP Opening and Improves LPS-induced HMEC-1Cell Injury by Upregulation of ATP5A1
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that emodin can protect HMEC-1 cells against inflammatory injury. This process is modulated by the expression of ATP5A1.PMID:38511277 | DOI:10.1002/cbdv.202301916 (Source: Chemistry and Biodiversity)

Synthesis and in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of novel dendrobine amide/sulfonamide derivatives
Chem Biodivers. 2024 Mar 21:e202400030. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202400030. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA traditional Chinese medicine ingredient, dendrobine, has been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory properties. However, due to its poor anti-inflammatory properties, its clinical use is limited. Consequently, we have designed and synthesized 32 new amide/sulfonamide dendrobine derivatives and screened their anti-inflammatory activities in vitro. Experiments showed that nitric oxide (NO) generation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells was strongly reduced by derivative 14, with an IC50 of 2.96 μM. Western bl...

Chemical Composition, Repellent, and Phytotoxic Potentials of the Fractionated Resin Essential Oil from Araucaria heterophylla Growing in Tunisia
Chem Biodivers. 2024 Mar 21:e202400185. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202400185. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe resin essential oil (REO) of Araucaria heterophylla trunk bark was investigated for its chemical composition. Then, it was evaluated for its insecticidal and allelopathic activities. The REO was obtained by hydrodistillation for 9 h (yield of 4.2% w/w). Moreover, fractional hydrodistillation was carried out at 3-hour intervals, resulting in 3 fractions (R1-R3). GC/MS analysis of the obtained samples allowed the identification of 25 compounds, representing between 91.2 and 96.3% of their total constituents, which consisted...

Ameliorative Effect of Morinda officinalis oligosaccharides on LPS-induced Acute Lung Injury
Chem Biodivers. 2024 Mar 20:e202400506. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202400506. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute lung injury (ALI) is a disease characterized by extensive lung damage and rampant inflammation, with a high mortality rate and no effective treatments available. Morinda officinalis oligosaccharide (MOOs), derived from the root of the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Morinda officinalis, known for its immune-boosting properties, presents a novel therapeutic possibility. To date, the impact of MOOs on ALI has not been explored. We discovered that MOOs significantly mitigated the pathological damage and decreased the ex...
