| protective effects of luteolin-7-glucoside against liver injury caused by carbon tetrachloride in rats. | ixeris chinensis (thunb.) nakai has been used as a chinese folk medicine; the information on the physiological and biochemical functions of the compounds extracted from i. chinensis is still scanty. we investigated the effects of luteolin -7-glucoside (lutg) isolated from i. chinensis against liver injury caused by carbon tetrachloride (ccl4). ccl4 significantly increased the enzyme activities of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (gpt) and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (got) in blood serum, as w ... | 2004 | 15125574 |
| effects of ixeris chinensis (thunb.) nakai boiling water extract on hepatitis b viral activity and hepatocellular carcinoma. | hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection and hepatocellular carcinoma are major diseases that affect the taiwanese population. therefore, the development of an alternative herbal medicine that can effectively treat these diseases is a research target. in this study, we tested ixeris chinensis (thunb.) nakai boiling water extract (ictn bwe) in vitro and analysed its effects on the hbv and liver cancer. | 2014 | 24653576 |
| [photosynthetic characteristics of an invasive plant conyza canadensis and its associated plants]. | to explore the invasion mechanisms of conyza canadensis and develop effective control measures, this paper studied the photosynthetic characteristics of the invasive plant and its main associated plants ixeris chinensis and commelina communis. the light saturation point and light compensation point of c. canadensis were 1634.00 and 23.84 micromol x m(-2) x s(-1), respectively, which were between those of the two associated plants. the maximum net photosynthetic rate of c. canadensis below light ... | 2013 | 23717992 |
| wild food plants used by the tibetans of gongba valley (zhouqu county, gansu, china). | the ethnobotany of tibetans is a seriously under-studied topic. the aim of the study was to investigate knowledge and use of wild food plants in a valley inhabited by tibetans in the gannan tibetan autonomous region. | 2014 | 24502461 |

| two new sesquiterpene lactones from ixeris chinensis. | phytochemical investigation of ixeris chinensis nakai (asteraceae) has resulted in the isolation of a new guaianolide-type sesquiterpene lactone, ixerochinolide (1) as well as the related glucoside, ixerochinoside (2). in addition, the known guaianolides, 8beta-hydroxy-3-oxo-guaia-4(15),10(14),11(13)-trien-1alpha,5alpha,6beta,7alphah-12,6-olide (8beta-hydroxydehydrozaluzanin), 8beta,15-dihydroxy-2-oxo-guaia-1(10),3,11(13)-trien-5alpha,6beta,7alphah-12,6-olide (lactucin), 3beta,8alpha,10alpha-tri ... | 2005 | 15635221 |
| in vitro anti-leukemic and antiviral activities of traditionally used medicinal plants in taiwan. | medicinal plants have been historically used as treatment for different kinds of human diseases. in this study, hot water (hw) extract of five taiwanese traditionally used medicinal plants was evaluated for their in vitro anti-leukemic (including anti-k562, l1210, p3hr1, raji and u937 leukemia cells) and antiviral (including hsv-1 and hsv-2) activities. results showed that blumea lacera exhibited broad anti-leukemic activity at magnitudes ranging from moderate to mild and ixeris chinensis is eff ... | 2004 | 15633805 |
| chinese herbs as modulators of human mesangial cell proliferation: preliminary studies. | in the hope of identifying agents of therapeutic value in immunoglobulin a nephropathy (iga-n), we tested crude methanol extracts of 15 chinese herbs for their effect on human mesangial cel proliferation in vitro. the results indicated that 7 out of the 15 crude extracts inhibited human mesangial cell proliferation activated by interleukin-1beta and interleukin-6. the extracts and their median inhibitory concentrations were as follows (in microg/ml): selaginella tamariscina (mls-032), 56.0 +/- 2 ... | 1998 | 9665376 |
| hepatoprotective effects of taiwan folk medicine: ixeris chinensis (thunb.) nak. on experimental liver injuries. | the hepatoprotective effects of ixeris chinensis (thunb.) nak. were studied on acute hepatitis induced in mice by a single dose of carbon tetrachloride (31.25 microliters/kg, ip) or acetaminophen (600 mg/kg, ip), and in rats by a single dose of beta-d-galactosamine (188 mg/kg, ip). hepatoprotective activity was monitored by estimating the serum transaminases (sgot and sgpt) levels and histopathological changes in the livers of experimental animals. the ixeris chinensis (thunb.) nak. extracts sig ... | 1994 | 7872236 |
| the pharmacological and pathological studies on several hepatic protective crude drugs from taiwan (ii). | four crude drug extracts of solanum incanum (entire plant), ixeris chinensis (entire plant), gardenia jasminoides (wild and cultivated, fructus) were administered to rats as dose of 1.0 g/kg, i.p. injection to screen the liver protective effect on cc14 induced hepatotoxicity. the acute increase of transaminase sgot and sgpt levels that was caused by cc14 (1.0 ml/kg) s.c. injection can be significantly improved when treated with solanum incanum (p less than 0.005), ixeris chinensis (p less than 0 ... | 1989 | 2589235 |
