Bilobalide Induces Apoptosis in 3T3-L1 Mature Adipocytes through ROS-Mediated Mitochondria Pathway

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Bilobalide exhibits numerous beneficial bioactivities, including neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity. Our previous study demonstrated that bilobalide inhibits adipogenesis and promotes lipolysis.

Lactone-to-Lactam Editing Alters the Pharmacology of Bilobalide

open access: yesJACS Au
Precise transformations of natural products (NPs) can fine-tune their physicochemical properties while preserving inherently complex and evolutionarily optimized parent scaffolds. Here, we report an unprecedented lactone-to-lactam transformation on bilobalide, thus improving its stability and paving the way for biological exploration of previously ...

Concise asymmetric synthesis of (−)-bilobalide [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2019
The Ginkgo biloba metabolite bilobalide is widely ingested by humans but its effect on the mammalian central nervous system is not fully understood1-4. Antagonism of γ-aminobutyric acid A receptors (GABAARs) by bilobalide has been linked to the rescue of cognitive deficits in mouse models of Down syndrome5.

Bilobalide inhibits inflammation and promotes the expression of Aβ degrading enzymes in astrocytes to rescue neuronal deficiency in AD models

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2021
The pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) involves multiple cell types including endothelial cells, glia, and neurons. It suggests that therapy against single target in single cell type may not be sufficient to treat AD and therapies with protective ...

Radical Scavenging Potential of Ginkgolides and Bilobalide: Insight from Molecular Modeling

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2023
The reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capacities of ginkgolides and bilobalide, which are the peculiar constituents of the extract of Ginkgo biloba, are investigated in silico (level of theory: (SMD)-M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p)//M06-2X/6-31G(d)).

Effect of Methyl Jasmonate on the Terpene Trilactones, Flavonoids, and Phenolic Acids in Ginkgo biloba L. Leaves: Relevance to Leaf Senescence

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
The present study compared the effects of natural senescence and methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) treatment on the levels of terpene trilactones (TTLs; ginkgolides and bilobalide), phenolic acids, and flavonoids in the primary organs of Ginkgo biloba leaves ...
