Bamboo Salt and Triple Therapy Synergistically Inhibit -Induced Gastritis In Vivo: A Preliminary Study.

infections are a major cause of gastrointestinal disorders, including gastric ulcers, gastritis, and gastric cancer. Triple therapy, using two antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor, is recommended for the treatment of infections. However, antibiotic resistance in is an emerging issue.

Protective effects of Banhasasim-tang, a herbal medicine, against cold restraint stress-induced gastric ulcers.

Banhasasim-tang (BST), a herbal medicine, has been used for nausea and fever from cold damage. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of BST in cold restraint stress-induced gastric ulcers. Male Sprague Dawley rats were orally treated with various doses of BST including 0.

Three new decenynol glucosides from (Asteraceae).

Three new decenynol glucosides were isolated from the aerial parts of . Their structures were determined to be 6,8-decadien-4-yn-ol 1--β-d-glucopyranoside, 6,8-decadien-4-yn-ol 1--β-d-glucopyranoside, and 6-decen-4-yn-ol 1--β-d-glucopyranoside based on extensive spectroscopic (NMR and MS) analysis. [Formula: see text].

Sesquiterpene lactones and scopoletins from Waldst. & Kit. and their angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activities.

Ten compounds, including a new guaiane-type sesquiterpene lactone, were isolated from the aerial parts of . The structure of the new compound was determined to be 5-hydroxyguaia-3(4),11(13),10(14)-trien-6α,12-olide, named scoparanolide. Six known sesquiterpene lactones [estafiatone, 3β,4α-dihydroxyguaia-11(13),10(14)-dien-6α,12-olide, estafiatin, preeupatundin, 3β-hydroxycostunolide, and ludovicin B] and three known coumarin derivatives (scopoletin, scoparone, and isofraxidin) were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy.

Antihypertensive Effects of Artemisia scoparia Waldst in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats and Identification of Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme Inhibitors.

We investigated the antihypertensive effects of Artemisia scoparia (AS) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The rats were fed diets containing 2% (w/w) hot water extracts of AS aerial parts for 6 weeks. The AS group had significantly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels than the control group.
