Ruscogenin/鲁斯可皂苷元
Ruscogenin, a natural product isolated and purified from the root of Ophiopogon japonicus with significant anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic activities, significantly attenuates LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI )via inhibiting expressions of TF and iNOS and NF-κB p65 activation, protects the brain against ischemic damage caused by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) which may be through downregulation of NF-κB-mediated inflammatory responses, inhibits activation of neutrophil through cPLA 2 , PAK, Akt, MAPKs, cAMP, and PKA signaling pathways, and may attenuate high-fat diet (HFD)-induced steatohepatitis through downregulation of NF- κB-mediated inflammatory responses, reducing hepatic lipogenic gene expression, and upregulating proteins in β-oxidation pathway.
