Abstract
Boswellia sacra has the properties of activating blood circulation, fixing pain, subduing swelling and promoting muscle growth. However, the anti-inflammatory active ingredients and molecular mechanisms of Boswellia sacra are still not clearly explored. Boswellia sacra was grounded and extracted using 95% ethanol, the extracts were separated by column chromatography preparation to give compounds. Spectral analysis and quantum calculations confirmed the structures of compounds and identified compound 1 as a new compound. Compounds 1-3 showed potent inhibitory activities and their effects on inflammatory mediator NO and inflammatory cytokines were examined by ELISA assay. Furthermore, their modulatory mechanism on inflammatory signal pathways was explored.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
