Total Synthesis of (−)‐Glaucocalyxin A [PDF]
AbstractA practically useful method for the formation of the highly oxygenated bicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring system through Mn(OAc)3‐mediated radical cyclization of alkynyl ketones was developed, which opens up a new avenue for the total synthesis of a number of highly oxidized diterpenoids. Application of this method enabled the first total synthesis of (−

Glaucocalyxin A Attenuates IL-1β-Induced Inflammatory Response and Cartilage Degradation in Osteoarthritis Chondrocytes via Inhibiting the Activation of NF-κB Signaling Pathway. [PDF]
Glaucocalyxin A (GLA) is a bioactive natural compound with anti‐inflammatory activity. Herein, the role of GLA in osteoarthritis (OA) was evaluated. Our results demonstrated that the IL‐1β‐induced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooygenase‐2 (COX‐2) expression, two enzymes resulting in the release of nitric oxide (NO) and PGE2, were also ...

Glaucocalyxin A Attenuates Allergic Responses by Inhibiting Mast Cell Degranulation through p38MAPK/NrF2/HO-1 and HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB Signaling Pathways. [PDF]
Glaucocalyxin A (GLA) has various pharmacological effects like antioxidation, immune regulation, and antiatherosclerosis. Here, in this study, the effect and mechanism of GLA on mast cell degranulation were studied. The results of the anti‐DNP IgE‐mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) showed that GLA dramatically inhibited PCA in vivo, as ...
