Aqueous extract of reduces blood pressure through inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis of adventitia in primary hypertension.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Despite the availability of antihypertensive drugs, alternative treatments are needed due to the adverse events associated with their use. Previous studies have shown that SABP, a combination of aqueous active metabolites of DSS, Sal-A, Sal-B and PAL, has a significant antihypertensive effect.

Active compounds of herbs ameliorate impaired cognition in APP/PS1 mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by amyloid plaque accumulations, intracellular tangles and neuronal loss in certain brain regions. It has been shown that a disturbance of normal iron metabolism contributes to the pathophysiology of AD. However, the mechanism underlying abnormal iron load in the brain of AD patients is unclear.
