Researchers studied the effects of Rhizoma coptidis on pulmonary fibrosis. COP showed potential as a treatment for the disease due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Study showed that polysaccharides from three Huanglian plants improved T2DM in mice by balancing gut microbiota, increasing SCFAs, and affecting metabolic pathways. Gut health is crucial for managing T2DM.
Researchers studied how the traditional Chinese medicine HLJD can enhance the effectiveness of ICIs in melanoma treatment. Understanding this may improve cancer immunotherapy outcomes by overcoming drug resistance.
Researchers studied epiberberine, a compound from Coptidis Rhizoma, for its anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties on breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer-induced osteolysis. Results show promising potential for future treatments.
Network pharmacology predicted molecular mechanisms of Coptis chinensis in Alzheimer's treatment, revealing active ingredients, targets, and a drug-component-disease-target network. Main signaling pathways involved PI3K-Akt, AGE-RAGE, MAPK, HIF-1, TNF, and relaxin. Berberine demonstrated strong affinity, informing future clinical research.
Study identifies molecular mechanisms behind cadmium accumulation in medicinal herb Coptis chinensis, offers strategies to control and mitigate accumulation, enhance resistance, and promote synthesis of secondary metabolites.
Scientists developed a fast and sensitive method using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to analyze traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). This method overcomes limitations of traditional detection methods and helps ensure the quality and safety of TCMs.
Shangkehuangshui is a traditional Chinese medicine used for treating injuries. Despite its effectiveness, we still don't know how it works.
Coptisine, a compound from Chinese herb, has anti-tumor effect but its impact on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is unclear. This study investigates coptisine's ability to control synovial proliferation in RA and its mechanism(s).
This study investigates how coptisine (COP), derived from Coptis chinensis, inhibits macrophage inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC). COP's protective mechanism against UC in mice induced with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) is explored.
Berberine (BBR), a natural compound found in certain plants, has various beneficial effects on the brain. It protects against oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death, and regulates enzyme activity, neurotransmitter levels, and gut bacteria. By targeting multiple signaling pathways, BBR shows promise for neuroprotection.
Researchers discovered that a compound called berberrubine, found in Coptis chinensis, selectively inhibits IMPDH2, a protein highly expressed in colorectal cancer. Berberrubine impairs cancer cell growth and reduces tumor size in cells and mouse models, indicating potential for CRC treatment.
The researchers studied the effects of Sanhuang Xiexin Decoction (SHXD) on rat NK-cell phenotypes and its mechanism in treating inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
