Saururaceae

Reynoutrin (Reinutrin) with antioxidant and radical-scavenging activity.

1. Sauchinone is a useful adjunctive treatment for bacterial infection. 2. Sauchinone, an active lignan found in Saururus chinensis, to regulate the activation of HSCs, to prevent liver fibrosis, and to inhibit oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro. 3. Sa

1-Linoleoyl Glycerol (Monolinolein) is fatty acid glycerol that has been isolated from Saururus Chinensis roots. The (R)-1-Linoleoyl Glycerol and (S)-1-Linoleoyl Glycerol exhibit Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 45.0 and 52.0 μM, respectively.

Licarin A is a natural anti-inflammatory lignan that inhibiting PKCα/βII and p38 MAPK pathways, thereby decreasing TNF-α and prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) secretion as well as COX-2 expression.

meso-Dihydroguaiaretic acid is a natural lignan exhibiting multiple biological activities, including the inhibition of proliferation in ACC375, COS, and HeLa cells.

Manassantin A is a high potent HIF-1 inhibitor, it protects the gastric mucosa from ethanol-induced acute gastric injury, and suggest that these protective effects might be associated with COX/PGE2 stimulation, inhibition of iNOS production and NF-κB act

Saucerneol has significant cardiovascular effects such as vasorelaxant and negative inotropic actions.

Manassantin B is a potent inhibitor of NF-κB activation by the suppression of transciptional activity of RelA/p65 subunit of NF-κB. It also possesses anti-EBV lytic replication activity. Manassantin B inhibits interleukin-6-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 activation in Hep3B cells, it has potential as a potent anti-inflammatory drug for use in pathological processes such as sepsis or acute lung injury. Manassantin B exerts antifibrotic activity in HSC-T6 cells, in part, via inhibition of cell proliferation and decrease of collagen production.
