Stimulation and priming of innate lymphocytes by oenothein B (89.59)

The Journal of Immunology, 2010
Abstract Oenothein B is an immunomodulatory tannin isolated from the Epilobium angustifolium plant. This compound is known to affect myeloid cells and these effects include enhanced chemotaxis, NF-κB activation, and production of proinflammatory cytokines, including TNFα and IL-6. Its effects on other innate immune cells have not been

Oenothein B, dimeric hydrolysable tannin inhibiting HCV invasion from Oenothera erythrosepala

Journal of Natural Medicines, 2018
The envelope proteins of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), E1 and E2, have been revealed to be essential for invasion of HCV. Thus, we were engaged in the search for the inhibitors against HCV invasion through the assay system using the model virus expressing recombinant HCV envelopes, E1 and E2. Now, we disclosed dimeric hydrolysable tannin oenothein B (1)

Regulatory Effect and Mechanism of Oenothein B in Reducing Fat Accumulation in Caenorhabditis Elegans

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, 2023
AbstractOenothein B (OEB) displays various biological activities, including immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, the effect of OEB isolated from Eucalyptus leaves on fat deposition and its underlying mechanism are explored in Caenorhabditis elegans （C.elegans)

Content of oenothein B in willow herb depending on growing conditions

2022
Introduction. Chamerion angustifolium (L.) Holub (Onagraceae) is a representative of willow herb species found throughout lower temperate northern regions. Its use to treat prostatic adenoma has been reported. Willow herb has been traditionally used in folk medicine and currently it is a potential raw material for the production of phytopharmaceuticals.

Age influences the lymphocyte response to the ellagitannin oenothein B and acai polysaccharides. (VET2P.1040)

The Journal of Immunology, 2014
Abstract The effects of nutritional supplements on immunity are still not well understood. For example, although aging affects immune cell responsiveness, it is not well known if immune stimulation by some nutritional supplements is also affected by aging.

[Oenothein B inhibits proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells by regulating P53].

Zhongguo Zhong yao za zhi = Zhongguo zhongyao zazhi = China journal of Chinese materia medica, 2023
The effects of oenothein B(OEB) on the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration of breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were investigated by cell culture in vitro, network pharmacology, and molecular docking. In vitro cell experiments revealed that OEB inhibited the proliferation and colony formation ability, and promoted the apoptosis and

Oenothein B inhibits the expression ofPbFKS1transcript and induces morphological changes inParacoccidioides brasiliensis

Medical Mycology, 2007
The fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), the most prevalent human systemic mycosis in Latin America. Drug toxicity and the appearance of resistant strains have created the need to search for new therapeutic approaches.

Determination of Oenothein B as the Active 5-α-Reductase-Inhibiting Principle of the Folk Medicine Epilobium parviflorum

Journal of Natural Products, 1996
Several extracts from Epilobium parviflorum, a plant used in Central Europe for the treatment of prostate disorders, were evaluated in a biochemical assay with 5-alpha-reductase. The aqueous extract displaying inhibition of the enzyme was analyzed, the fraction responsible for this activity was purified, and the active compound identified as a ...
