Comparison between Peritoneal Macrophage Activation by Bougainvillea xbuttiana Extract and LPS and/or Interleukins
Activation of macrophages may be one of the possible approaches in modulating inflammation. We previously reported that Bougainvillea xbuttiana extract showed an immunomodulatory activity. Here we compare the activation of macrophages exposed to B. xbuttiana extract and compare it with the other treatments such as LPS, IL-4, and IL-10. The cytotoxic effect of extract on peritoneal macrophages w...
متن کاملGinger extract inhibits LPS induced macrophage activation and function
BACKGROUND Macrophages play a dual role in host defence. They act as the first line of defence by mounting an inflammatory response to antigen exposure and also act as antigen presenting cells and initiate the adaptive immune response. They are also the primary infiltrating cells at the site of inflammation. Inhibition of macrophage activation is one of the possible approaches towards modulatin...
متن کاملPreliminary Studies of the Immunomodulator Effect of the Bougainvillea xbuttiana Extract in a Mouse Model
Bougainvillea xbuttiana is used as an analgesic in folk medicine in Mexico. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of the ethanolic extract from B. xbuttiana on macrophages activities. The phytochemical screening was performed for determine the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes, and saponins. The effects of B. xbuttiana were analyzed using the macrophages act...
متن کاملAntioxidant Activity, Total Phenolic and Flavonoid Contents, and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Bougainvillea Xbuttiana
Objective: Bougainvillea xbuttiana is widely distributed in Mexico and it used as an analgesic in folk medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of five ethanolic extracts of Bougainvillea xbuttiana from different colours on cell and to quantify the potential of antioxidant activity, the total phenolic and flavonoids contents, all these in order to find possible sources for ...
متن کاملRNase and DNase activities of antiviral proteins from leaves of Bougainvillea xbuttiana.
Antiviral proteins (AVPs) purified from the leaves of Bougainvillea xbuttiana cv Mahara exhibited RNase activity against viral RNA of the tobamoviruses, Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and Sunnhemp rosette virus (SRV). They caused complete degradation of viral RNAs in a concentration-dependent manner. RNase activity gel assay ruled out the possibility of the presence of contaminating nucleases. AVPs...
