Abstract
The roots of Shuteria involucrata (Wall.) Wight & Arn., known as “Tong-qian-ma-huang” in Dai folk medicine in China, are renowned for their efficacy in treating asthma. Despite the use of S. involucrata has been reported as ameliorating respiratory diseases, its mechanism of action remains unclear. This work described the effect of ethyl acetate extract of S. involucrate (SSE) on allergic asthma and its potential mechanism of action was assessed. Ovalbumin was used in vivo to establish a BALB/c asthma mouse model. Lipopolysaccharide was used in vitro to stimulate the human macrophage cell line THP-1 to establish an inflammatory model. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that SSE effectively ameliorated pathological symptoms and attenuated airway inflammation and cellular inflammation in allergic asthma mice, with a mechanism of action potentially associated to the inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
期刊介绍:
Fitoterapia is a Journal dedicated to medicinal plants and to bioactive natural products of plant origin. It publishes original contributions in seven major areas:
1. Characterization of active ingredients of medicinal plants
2. Development of standardization method for bioactive plant extracts and natural products
3. Identification of bioactivity in plant extracts
4. Identification of targets and mechanism of activity of plant extracts
5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass
6. Chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive natural products of plant origin
7. Critical reviews of the historical, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.
