CP-25 exerts a protective effect against ConA-induced hepatitis via regulating inflammation and immune response

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Hepatitis is a complex multifactorial pathological disorder, which can eventually lead to liver failure and even potentially be life threatening. Paeoniflorin-6′-O-benzene sulfonate (CP-25) has proven to have critical anti-inflammatory effects in ...

CP-25 inhibits the hyperactivation of rheumatic synoviocytes by suppressing the switch in Gαs-Gαi coupling to the β2-adrenergic receptor

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2023
In essence, the β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) plays an antiproliferative role by increasing the intracellular cyclic 3’,5’-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentration through Gαs coupling, but interestingly, β2AR antagonists are able to effectively ...

sTNFRII-Fc modification protects human UC-MSCs against apoptosis/autophagy induced by TNF-α and enhances their efficacy in alleviating inflammatory arthritis

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2021
Background Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors represented by Etanercept (a fusion protein containing soluble TNF receptor II (sTNFRII) and the Fc segment of human IgG1) play a pivotal role in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment.

GRK2 Mediates Macrophage Polarization by Regulating EP4-cAMP-pCREB Signaling in Ulcerative Colitis and the Therapeutic Effect of Paroxetine on Mice with DSS-Induced Colitis

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is one of the cytosolic enzymes, and GRK2 translocation induces prostaglandin E2 receptor 4 (EP4) over-desensitization and reduces the level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) to regulate macrophage ...

CP-25 ameliorates methotrexate induced nephrotoxicity via improving renal apoptosis and methotrexate excretion

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2021
Paeoniflorin-6′-O-benzene sulfonate (CP-25) is a derivative of Paeoniflorin. We investigate beneficial effect of CP-25 on methotrexate (MTX) induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

Combination therapy of ginsenoside compound K and methotrexate was efficient in elimination of anaemia and reduction of disease activity in adjuvant-induced arthritis rats

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2020
Context Ginsenoside compound K (CK) has anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, and myelosuppressive protective effects. Methotrexate (MTX) is widely used in combination therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Objective To evaluate the effects of combination
