A diarylheptanoid from lesser galangal (Alpinia officinarum) inhibits proinflammatory mediators via inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase, p44/42, and transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B. (1/36)
The diarylheptanoid 7-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylhept-4-en-3-one (HMP) is a naturally occurring phytochemical found in lesser galangal (Alpinia officinarum). In the present study, we have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory properties of this compound on mouse macrophage cell line (RAW 264.7) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in vitro. Treatment of RAW 264.7 cells with HMP (6.25-25 microM) significantly inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated nitric oxide (NO) production. This compound also inhibited the release of LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) from human PB-MCs in vitro. In addition, Western blotting and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrated that HMP decreased LPS-induced inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein and mRNA expression in RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, HMP treatment also reduced nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) DNA binding induced by LPS in RAW 264.7 cells. To elucidate the molecular mechanism for inhibition of proinflammatory mediators by HMP (25 microM), we have studied the effect of HMP on LPS-induced p38 and p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). We observed that the phosphorylation of p44/42 MAPK in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells was markedly inhibited by HMP, whereas activation of p38 MAPK was not affected. These results suggested that HMP from lesser galangal suppressed the LPS-induced production of NO, IL-1 beta, and TNF-alpha and expression of iNOS and COX-2 gene expression by inhibiting NF-kappa B activation and phosphorylation of p44/42 MAPK. (+info)3-Methylethergalangin isolated from Alpinia officinarum inhibits pancreatic lipase. (2/36)
The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of the rhizome of Alpinia officinarum (AO) and its antihyperlipidemic activity were measured. When the water extract of AO was fractionated stepwise with organic solvents, the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited the most potent inhibition. 3-Methylethergalangin was isolated from that fraction as an inhibitor of pancreatic lipase with an IC(50) value of 1.3 mg/ml (triolein as a substrate). AO and its ethyl acetate fraction significantly inhibited the serum TG level in corn oil feeding-induced triglyceridemic mice, and serum triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice. However, this compound and the AO ethyl acetate fraction did not show hypolipidemic activity in high cholesterol diet-induced hyperlipidemic mice. The results suggest that the hypolipidemic activity of AO and 3-methylethergalangin is due to the inhibition of pancreatic lipase. (+info)5-Hydroxy-7-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone: a pancreatic lipase inhibitor isolated from Alpinia officinarum. (3/36)
A pancreatic lipase inhibitor, 5-hydroxy-7-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone (HPH), from the rhizome of Alpinia officinarum (AO) was isolated and its antihyperlipidemic activity was measured. HPH inhibited a pancreatic lipase with an IC(50) value of 1.5 mg/ml (triolein as a substrate). HPH significantly lowered the serum TG level in corn oil feeding-induced triglyceridemic mice, and reduced serum triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice. However, HPH did not show hypolipidemic activity in high cholesterol diet-induced hyperlipidemic mice. Based on these findings, we propose that PL inhibitors may be effective as hypolipidemic agents. (+info)Inhibitors of nitric oxide production from the rhizomes of Alpinia galanga: structures of new 8-9' linked neolignans and sesquineolignan. (4/36)
The 80% aqueous acetone extract from the rhizomes of Alpinia galanga showed nitric oxide (NO) production inhibitory activities in mouse peritoneal macrophages. From the aqueous acetone extract, three new 8-9' linked neolignans, galanganal, galanganols A and B, and a sesquineolignan, galanganol C, were isolated together with nine known phenylpropanoids and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The structures of new neolignans were determined on the basis of physicochemical and chemical evidence. In addition, the inhibitory effects of the constituents from the rhizomes of A. galanga on NO production induced by lipopolysaccharide in mouse peritoneal macrophages were examined. Among them, galanganal (IC50=68 microM), galanganols B (88 microM) and C (33 microM), 1'S-1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (2.3 microM), 1'S-1'-acetoxyeugenol acetate (11 microM), trans-p-hydroxycinnamaldehyde (ca. 20 microM), trans-p-coumaryl alcohol (72 microM), and trans-p-coumaryl diacetate (19 microM) were found to show inhibitory activity. (+info)Blockade of nuclear factor-kappaB signaling pathway and anti-inflammatory activity of cardamomin, a chalcone analog from Alpinia conchigera. (5/36)
Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and the signaling pathways that regulate its activity have become a focal point for intense drug discovery and development efforts. NF-kappaB regulates the transcription of a large number of genes, particularly those involved in immune, inflammatory, and antiapoptotic responses. In our search for NF-kappaB inhibitors from natural resources, we identified cardamomin, 2',4'-dihydroxy-6'-methoxychalcone, as an inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation from Alpinia conchigera Griff (Zingiberaceae). In present study, we demonstrated the effect of cardamomin on NF-kappaB activation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and LPS-induced mortality. This compound significantly inhibited the induced expression of NF-kappaB reporter gene by LPS or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in a dose-dependent manner. LPS-induced production of TNF-alpha and NO as well as expression of inducible nitric-oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 was significantly suppressed by the treatment of cardamomin in RAW264.7 cells. Also, cardamomin inhibited not only LPS-induced degradation and phosphorylation of inhibitor kappaBalpha (IkappaBalpha) but also activation of inhibitor kappaB (IkappaB) kinases and nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. Further analyses revealed that cardamomin did not directly inhibit IkappaB kinases, but it significantly suppressed LPS-induced activation of Akt. Moreover, cardamomin suppressed transcriptional activity and phosphorylation of Ser536 of RelA/p65 subunit of NF-kappaB. However, this compound did not inhibit LPS-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase, but significantly impaired activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. We also demonstrated that pretreatment of cardamomin rescued C57BL/6 mice from LPS-induced mortality in conjunction with decreased serum level of TNF-alpha. Together, cardamomin could be valuable candidate for the intervention of NF-kappaB-dependent pathological condition such as inflammation. (+info)New diarylheptanoids from Alpinia pinnanensis. (6/36)
Three new diarylheptanoids, called alpinnanins A-C (1-3), together with two known chalcones, 2',4'-dihydroxy-6'-methoxychalcone and 4',6'-dimethylchalconaringenin, two known flavanones, alpinetin and naringenin 5-O-methyl ether, a known diarylheptanoid, (3S,5S)-trans-3,5-dihydroxy-1,7-diphenyl-1-heptene, stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol as a mixture, and beta-sitosterol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside were isolated from the rhizomes of Alpinia pinnanensis T. L. WU et SENJEN (Zingiberaceae). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. (+info)Suppression of inducible nitric oxide synthase expression by yakuchinones and their analogues. (7/36)
Analogues of yakuchinones were synthesized as inhibitors of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells. We prepared stronger inhibitors than the original natural molecules, yakuchinones A and B reported from Alpinia oxyphylla. From the limited structural activity relation study of analogues, we concluded that the optimal length of linker between two aryl groups and the presence of enone moiety in the linker were identified as essential for the activity. The IC50 value of the most potent structure was 0.92 microM. The active analogues suppressed the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase protein and mRNA. (+info)1'S-1'-acetoxychavicol acetate isolated from Alpinia galanga inhibits human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication by blocking Rev transport. (8/36)
AIDS remains a major global health concern. Despite a number of therapeutic advancements, there is still an urgent need to develop a new class of therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Here, it was shown that 1'S-1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA), a small molecular compound isolated from the rhizomes of Alpinia galanga, inhibited Rev transport at a low concentration by binding to chromosomal region maintenance 1 and accumulating full-length HIV-1 RNA in the nucleus, resulting in a block in HIV-1 replication in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Additionally, ACA and didanosine acted synergistically to inhibit HIV-1 replication. Thus, ACA may represent a novel treatment for HIV-1 infection, especially in combination with other anti-HIV drugs. (+info)Alpinia is a genus of plants in the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) that includes around 230 species. These plants are native to tropical regions of Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Many Alpinia species have aromatic rhizomes that are used in traditional medicine and cooking. Some common names for Alpinia include galangal, greater galangal, lesser galangal, and thai ginger.
In a medical context, Alpinia species such as Alpinia galanga and Alpinia officinarum have been studied for their potential medicinal properties. For example, some research suggests that these plants may have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and analgesic effects. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to determine the safety and effectiveness of using Alpinia for medical purposes.
It's important to note that while Alpinia species have been used in traditional medicine for centuries, they should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. If you are considering using Alpinia or any other herbal remedy, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider first to ensure safety and effectiveness.
A rhizome is not typically used as a medical term, but it is a term borrowed from botany that has been adopted in some areas of medicine, particularly in psychiatry and psychotherapy.
In its original botanical sense, a rhizome is a horizontal stem of a plant that grows underground, often sending out roots and shoots from its nodes. This growth pattern is contrasted with that of a root system, which grows downward, and a stem system, which grows upward.
In psychiatry and psychotherapy, the term "rhizome" has been used as a metaphor to describe a non-hierarchical and decentralized approach to understanding mental processes and subjectivity. The rhizome model emphasizes the complexity, multiplicity, and interconnectedness of these processes, and rejects simplistic or reductionist explanations that focus on a single cause or origin. Instead, it encourages a more holistic and dynamic view of mental life, one that is open to multiple perspectives and interpretations.
It's important to note that the use of the term "rhizome" in this context is metaphorical and not medical in the strict sense. It is a way of thinking about mental processes and subjectivity that has been influenced by poststructuralist and feminist theories, among others.
Pancrelipase is a prescription medication that contains a combination of three enzymes (lipases, proteases, and amylases) that are normally produced by the pancreas. These enzymes help break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in food so that they can be absorbed into the intestines.
Pancrelipase is used to replace these enzymes when a person's pancreas is not able to produce enough of them due to conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or pancreatectomy. By taking pancrelipase with meals and snacks, people with these conditions can improve their digestion and absorption of nutrients from food.
It is important to note that pancrelipase should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as improper use or dosage can lead to serious side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation.
"Tagetes" is a term that refers to a genus of plants commonly known as marigolds. While "Tagetes" itself is not a medical term, some species of these plants have been used in traditional medicine for various purposes. However, it's important to note that the use of Tagetes in this context is not widely accepted or studied in modern evidence-based medicine. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using any plant or herbal remedy for medicinal purposes.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "heptanes" is not a medical term. It is a term used in chemistry and refers to a group of seven-carbon alkane hydrocarbons, with the simplest being n-heptane (a straight-chain alkane).
If you have any medical terms you'd like me to define or any other health-related questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
A plant extract is a preparation containing chemical constituents that have been extracted from a plant using a solvent. The resulting extract may contain a single compound or a mixture of several compounds, depending on the extraction process and the specific plant material used. These extracts are often used in various industries including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and food and beverage, due to their potential therapeutic or beneficial properties. The composition of plant extracts can vary widely, and it is important to ensure their quality, safety, and efficacy before use in any application.
Neutral Red is not a medical term itself, but it is a dye that is widely used in medical research and clinical settings. Neutral Red is a supravital stain, which means it can be used to selectively stain living cells without staining non-living or dead cells. It is an acidophilic dye, which stains structures that have an affinity for acidic dyes.
Neutral Red is commonly used in cell culture to assess the viability and cytotoxicity of various compounds, as well as to measure the activity of lysosomes in cells. The dye can be taken up by living cells and accumulate in lysosomes, where it exhibits fluorescence. When cells are treated with a cytotoxic compound, the integrity of their lysosomal membranes may be disrupted, leading to the release of Neutral Red into the cytosol and a decrease in fluorescence intensity.
Therefore, Neutral Red can serve as an indicator of cell health and can be used to monitor the effects of various treatments on cells in vitro.
Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol with the chemical formula C6H5CH2OH. It is a colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor and is used as a solvent and preservative in cosmetics, medications, and other products. Benzyl alcohol can also be found as a natural component of some essential oils, fruits, and teas.
Benzyl alcohol is not typically considered a "drug" or a medication, but it may have various pharmacological effects when used in certain medical contexts. For example, it has antimicrobial properties and is sometimes used as a preservative in injectable medications to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. It can also be used as a local anesthetic or analgesic in some topical creams and ointments.
It's important to note that benzyl alcohol can be harmful or fatal to infants and young children, especially when it is used in high concentrations or when it is introduced into the body through intravenous (IV) routes. Therefore, it should be used with caution in these populations and only under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
"Mentha" is a genus name in botanical taxonomy, which includes various species of mint plants. While it's not a medical term per se, some mentha species have been used in traditional medicine and may be referenced in medical literature or natural health practices. The essential oils derived from these plants, such as peppermint (Mentha piperita) and spearmint (Mentha spicata), are often used in aromatherapy, topical applications, and as flavorings in oral care products and medications. They have been studied for potential benefits related to digestion, pain relief, and mental clarity, although more research is needed to confirm these effects and establish appropriate dosages and safety guidelines.
Zingiberales is not a medical term, but a botanical term referring to a order of monocotyledonous plants, also known as the ginger order. It includes several families of plants that are important in medicine and related fields, including Zingiberaceae (the ginger family), Cannabaceae (the cannabis family), and Musaceae (the banana family). Plants in this order are characterized by having a unique type of flower structure and often produce aromatic compounds used in perfumes, flavorings, and traditional medicines.
Hymenolepis nana, also known as the dwarf tapeworm, is a small intestine-infecting cestode parasite that primarily affects humans and rodents. The adult worms are typically 15-40 mm in length and have a scolex (head) with four suckers but no hooks. The proglottids (segments) of the worm contain both male and female reproductive organs, allowing for self-fertilization.
The life cycle of Hymenolepis nana can be direct or indirect. In the direct life cycle, eggs are passed in the feces of an infected individual and ingested by another person through contaminated food, water, or fomites (inanimate objects). Once inside the human host, the eggs hatch in the small intestine, releasing oncospheres that invade the intestinal wall and develop into cysticercoids. The cysticercoids then mature into adult tapeworms within 10-15 days.
In the indirect life cycle, eggs are ingested by an intermediate host, usually a beetle or flea, where they hatch and develop into cysticercoids. When the infected insect is consumed by a rodent or human, the cysticercoids excyst in the small intestine and mature into adult tapeworms.
Symptoms of Hymenolepis nana infection can range from mild to severe and may include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, and anemia. In some cases, particularly in children or individuals with weakened immune systems, the infection can lead to more serious complications such as intestinal obstruction or inflammation of the small intestine (enteritis).
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Lantana" is not a medical term. It is the name of a genus of flowering plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae, that are native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa. Some species of Lantana are popular ornamental plants due to their vibrant and showy flowers, but they can also be invasive in some areas.
