anti-osteoporosis

Syringin (eleutheroside-b) is a compound with antitumor, antiproliferative, immunomodulatory and platelet aggregation inhibiting effects.

Anti-osteoporosis agent-2 (Compound 10) inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation [1].

L-Arginine (L-Arg) is a substrate of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). L-Arginine is transported to vascular smooth muscle cells via a family of cationic amino acid transporters and is metabolized to nitric oxide, polyamines, or L-proline. L-Arginine is a potent vasodilator and can be used to induce experimental acute pancreatitis.

Saikosaponin A has a variety of pharmacological benefits, including antiepileptic, anti-osteoporosis, antioxidant, anti-in ammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-bacterial activities. It can effectively attenuate neuropathic pain in CCI rats by inhibiting the activation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways in spinal cord. It can inhibit NMDA receptor current and persistent sodium current, and inhibit the TNF-α level, the IL-1β production, and cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase)-1 activity.

Baohuoside I (Icariside-II) is a component of Epimedium koreanum, exhibits anti-inflammatory activity and anti-osteoporosis activities.

Epimedin A has anti-osteoporosis activities in vivo.

1. Geraniin has a protective effect against OVX-induced rat osteoporosis. 2. Geraniin has cytotoxic activity towards cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. 3. Geraniin exerts inhibitory effects on osteoclast differentiation in vitro and suppresses Ti particle

1. Sweroside possesses strong hepatoprotective effect. 2. Sweroside is a promising osteoporosis therapeutic natural product, has anti-osteoporotic effect on the human MG-63 cells and rat osteoblasts.

Punicic acid (Trichosanic acid) is a naturally occurring conjugated linolenic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid that is anti-obesity and anti-diabetic through activation of PPARα, PPARβ, PPARγ, and inhibition of NF-κB; anti-inflammatory through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX); improves neuroinflammation; and prevention of osteoporosis.

Morusignin L is a biologically active prenylated flavonoid compound that has been demonstrated to exhibit significant anti-osteoporosis effects in vitro, potentially mediated through the inhibition of osteoclast tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) enzyme activity and bone resorption, coupled with the concurrent promotion of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation.

Baohuoside aglycone possesses cardioprotective effect in prevention of ischemia/ reperfusion injury and reduce the myocardial infraction, the mechnism is due to the reduction of the injury of free radicals. Baohuoside VII in vivo exhibits significant anti

6,4'-Dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone is a biologically active compound isolated from the heartwood of Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen (Leguminosae) with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. 6,4'-Dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone can be used in studies about the treatment of osteoclastogenic bone diseases such osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal diseases.

(S,S)-Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside ((S,S)-SDG) is a lignan present in flaxseed with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-microbial and neuroprotective properties and can be used in the study of obesity, arthritis and osteoporosis.

Toddaculine may be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, it can not only inhibit the differentiation of osteoclasts via activation of the NF-κB, ERK 1 2, and p38 MAPK signaling pathways, but can induce differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts by regulating differentiation factors. Toddaculine also may serve as a pharmacological prototype for the development of novel anti-leukemic agents, it displays a dual effect as a cell differentiating agent and apoptosis inducer in U-937 cells.
