Circadian Immunity and Vascular Inflammation in Cardiovascular Disease Chronotherapy Windows: Time for a Re‐Assessment

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate cardiovascular physiology by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways. Disruption of these rhythms profoundly alters vascular homeostasis, thereby promoting the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

The Critical Role of PTEN/PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway in Shikonin-Induced Apoptosis and Proliferation Inhibition of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are commonly used to treat CML; however, drug resistance of CML cells to TKIs has limited their clinical application.

Natural Shikonin Potentially Alters Intestinal Flora to Alleviate Acute Inflammation

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Shikonin, derived from the herb Lithospermum erythrorhizon (Purple Cromwell), is extensively utilized in traditional Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent; however, its effect on the intestinal flora is not yet known. Herein, we demonstrate that,

東洋と西洋の紫色素 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
古来より紫色素は洋の東西を問わず高貴な色として尊ばれてきた。本稿では東洋とヨーロッパで主に流通しているムラサキ科植物を取り上げて基原植物や歴史的な背景を検証した。特にムラサキは日本における自生分布が広く、8~10世紀には各地で栽培が行われ大量の紫根が朝廷へ上納されていた状況について述べた。紫根に含有する紫色素である shikonin は日本で単離構造決定されたのでそれらに付いても言及した。さらにムラサキ科植物の shikonin や光学異性体の alkannin 等の生合成経路についても述べた。又 ...

Harnessing Natural Compounds in Psoriasis: Targeting Cellular Pathways for Effective Therapy

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Natural compounds act on key cellular pathways in psoriasis by suppressing keratinocyte hyperproliferation, modulating Th17/IL‐17‐mediated immune responses, and reducing oxidative stress. These multi‐target effects highlight their potential as safer adjunctive therapies alongside conventional treatments.

Cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles for dermatological diseases

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Skin disorders are challenging to treat due to complex barrier functions and limited conventional therapies. Biomimetic cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles (CM‐NPs) offer a superior nanomedicine approach by evading immune detection and enabling precise targeting.

Onosma armenum Extract Loaded Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for the Prevention of Biofilm‐Associated Infections

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
Bioactive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) loaded with O. armenum extract were developed to evaluate their antibiofilm activity against biofilm‐forming Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The phytochemical content of the extract was analyzed via liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.
