Researchers investigated the Sinisan formula's impact on neuron activity and circuits for treating depression. Understanding its mechanisms can lead to improved treatment options for depression.
Licochalcone D (LCD) from Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch inhibits breast cancer growth, induces DNA damage, and potentiates TRAIL-induced apoptosis via JNK/p38 MAPK-CHOP pathway. Promising natural anticancer agent.
Study found honey-processed licorice (HPL) has stronger heart protection than raw licorice. Material basis and mechanism still unclear. Relevant for clinical use of traditional Chinese herb.
Glycyrrhiza is a traditional Chinese herb with potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties. Research suggests it may be useful in medicinal applications. Scientists should keep it on their radar for future studies.
GUP from Glycyrrhiza uralensis improves glycemic control, reduces oxidative stress and liver lipid levels, enhances intestinal barrier, kidney function, and gut microbiota diversity in T2D mice. Dietary strategy for diabetes control and overall health improvement.
Research reviewed nutraceuticals from Traditional Chinese Medicine for relieving Long COVID-19 gastrointestinal symptoms. Identified plants such as Cinnamomum cassia and Salvia miltiorrhiza show promise in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. These natural remedies may offer multi-target therapeutic benefits for Long COVID-19 complications.
Researchers studied how flavonoids in help the plant tolerate alkaline salt stress by analyzing metabolites and gene expression. Flavonoids act as antioxidants, aiding in stress tolerance. Findings offer new insights for improving plant tolerance to environmental stress.
Licochalcone A (LCA), from licorice roots, reduces AML cell viability, induces cell death, inhibits signaling pathways, and enhances effectiveness of venetoclax, indicating potential as AML treatment.
Low molecular weight polysaccharide (GP) improves gut health and boosts immune system by increasing immune cells, cytokines, and beneficial gut bacteria while reducing harmful bacteria. GP could be a potential treatment for intestinal inflammatory diseases.
Mai Men Dong decoction (MMDD), a traditional Chinese medicine, contains herbs known for treating respiratory conditions. Studying MMDD can enhance understanding and development of ethnopharmacology.
Researchers discovered an enzyme that efficiently catalyzes the apiosylation of flavonoid glycosides, identified key sugar-binding motifs, obtained mutants with altered sugar selectivity, and synthesized flavonoid apiosides. This has implications for understanding apioside biosynthesis and phenolic apiosyltransferase applications.
Licochalcone A (LCA), a compound from Glycyrrhiza uralensis, shows potential for treating esophageal cancer (EC). LCA inhibited EC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. LCA also inhibited tumor growth in mice without major side effects. LCA can be a promising therapy for EC by regulating the p53 pathway.
Compounds from (name of the source) showed inhibitory activity and binding affinity for the key enzyme 3CLpro in SARS-CoV-2, reducing viral growth and cytotoxicity in cells. This suggests they could be potential treatment options for COVID-19.
The Fufangmuniziqi formula (FFMN) is a traditional Uyghur medicine in China, composed of 13 herbs. Several of these herbs, including Peganum harmala L., Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., and Nigella glandulifera, have shown potential effects against Alzheimer's disease (AD) by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), reducing neuroinflammation, and acting as antioxidants. Despite these promising findings, further research is required to uncover FFMN's precise mechanism of action and to confirm its effectiveness against AD.
XYPs are a commonly used Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for treating depression. However, since they are taken orally, they may interact with gut bacteria and affect the therapeutic outcomes of TCMs. The chemical complexity of XYPs makes understanding their biological effects a challenge.
This study analyzed the effectiveness and safety of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) for treating rheumatoid arthritis. TCMs have anti-inflammatory effects and are widely used in China.
Shaoyao-Gancao Tang is a traditional Chinese medicine that effectively treats pain and asthma, but its exact mechanism of action remains unclear.
