1′-Acetoxychavicol Acetate Isolated from Alpinia galanga Ameliorates Ovalbumin-Induced Asthma in Mice
The World Health Organization reports that 235 million people are currently affected by asthma. This disease is associated with an imbalance of Th1 and Th2 cells, which results in the upregulation of cytokines that promote chronic inflammation of the respiratory system. The inflammatory response causes airway obstruction and can ultimately result in death. In this study we evaluated the effect ...
متن کاملThe apoptotic effect of 1's-1'-acetoxychavicol acetate from Alpinia conchigera on human cancer cells.
1'-(S)-1'-Acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) isolated from the Malaysian ethno-medicinal plant Alpinia conchigera Griff. was investigated for its potential as an anticancer drug. In this communication, we describe the cytotoxic and apoptotic properties of ACA on five human tumour cell lines. Data from MTT cell viability assays indicated that ACA induced both time- and dose-dependent cytotoxicity on ...
متن کاملThalidomide inhibits the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
Thalidomide, a selective inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) synthesis, suppresses the activation of latent human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in a monocytoid (U1) line. The inhibition is dose dependent and occurs after exposure of the cells to recombinant TNF-alpha, phorbol myristate acetate, lipopolysaccharide, and other cytokine combinations. Associated with HIV-1 i...
متن کاملVenom Components of Iranian Scorpion Hemiscorpius lepturus Inhibit the Growth and Replication of Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1)
Background: During the recent years, significant progress has been achieved on development of novel anti-viral drugs. Natural products are assumed as the potential sources of novel anti-viral drugs; therefore, there are some previous studies reporting the anti-viral compounds from venomous animals. Based on the significant value for tracing of non-toxic anti-viral agents from natural resources,...
متن کاملDetachment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 from germinal centers by blocking complement receptor type 2.
After the transition from the acute to the chronic phase of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, complement mediates long-term storage of virions in germinal centers (GC) of lymphoid tissue. The contribution of particular complement receptors (CRs) to virus trapping in GC was studied on tonsillar specimens from HIV-infected individuals. CR2 (CD21) was identified as the main binding sit...
