Arctigenin: a lignan from Arctium lappa
The title compound {systematic name: (3R-trans)-4-[(3,4-dimethoxy-phen-yl)meth-yl]-3-[(4-hydr-oxy-3-methoxy-phen-yl)meth-yl]-4,5-dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one}, C(21)H(24)O(6), has a dibenz-yl-butyrolactone skeleton. The two aromatic rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 68.75 (7)° with respect to each other. The lactone ring adopts an envelope conformation. A series of O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bo...
متن کاملHsp90β inhibition modulates nitric oxide production and nitric oxide-induced apoptosis in human chondrocytes
BACKGROUND Hsp90β is a member of the Hsp90 family of protein chaperones. This family plays essential roles in the folding, maturation and activity of many proteins that are involved in signal transduction and transcriptional regulation. The role of this protein in chondrocytes is not well understood, although its increase in osteoarthritic cells has been reported. The present study aimed to exp...
متن کاملInhibition of Nitric Oxide Production and Proinflammatory Cytokines by Several Medicinal Plants
Background: A number of medicinal plants have been used to treat various immunological diseases. Nitric oxide (NO) has an important regulatory role in the various types of inflammatory processes. Objective: To investigate the NO modulatory activity of the extracts of several medicinal plants native to Iran including Dracocephalum kotschyi, Linum persicum, Dionysia termeana, Salvia mirzayanii, F...
متن کاملL-Glutamin-Induced Inhibition of Endotoxemia by Reducing Pre-Inflammatory Cytokines, Nitric Oxide, and CD40 Expression
Introduction: Researchers have been investigating the major pathogens involved in septic shock caused by lipopolysaccharide in recent years. Moreover, they have been concerned about the use of appropriate drugs to intervene with the main pathogenesis of the disease. This study aimed to investigate the effect of L-Glutamine as an HSP70 inducer in reducing pre-inflammatory cytokines and effective...
متن کاملEffect of Neutrophils on Nitric Oxide Production from Stimulated Macrophages
Background: During the initial phase of an infection, there is an upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the macrophages for the production of nitric oxide. This is followed by the recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) which release arginase. Arginase competes with inducible nitric oxide synthase for a common substrate L-arginine. Objective: To investigate whethe...
