Antiviral and Anti-proliferative Glycoproteins from the Rhizome ofSmilax glabraRoxb (Liliaceae)

The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 2008
The glycoproteins possessing antiviral and anti-proliferative activities were isolated from the Chinese medicinal herb Smilax glabra (known as tufuling), by extraction with 0.2 M NaCl , ammonium sulfate precipitation, fetuin-agarose affinity chromatography and gel filtration.

Structural characterization and anti-inflammatory activity of a novel neutral polysaccharide isolated from Smilax glabra Roxb.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2023
Crude polysaccharides isolated from Smilax glabra were screened for anti-inflammatory activity using mice ear swelling animal experiments, during which the neutral polysaccharide S1 was identified. The structural characteristics and anti-inflammatory effects of the anti-inflammatory S1 polysaccharide were then investigated.

Anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effect of Smilax glabra Roxb. extract on hepatoma cell lines

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2008
Smilax glabra Roxb. (SGR) is the root of a traditional Chinese herb, referred to as tu fu ling in Chinese medicine. It is an inexpensive traditional Chinese medicine commonly used for the treatment of liver diseases, and a few studies have indicated that SGR has anti-hepatocarcinogenic and anti-cancer growth activities.

Structural characterization and macrophage immunomodulatory activity of a novel polysaccharide from Smilax glabra Roxb.

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017
A novel heteropolysaccharide (SGRP1) with great immunomodulatory activity was isolated from the root of Smilax glabra Roxb. by hot water extraction. Physical and chemical analyses showed that SGRP1 had an average molecular weight of 1.26×104Da and was composed of mannose, fucose and glucose in molar ratio of 1.00:3.09:39.41.

Protective Effects of the Flavonoid-Rich Fraction from Rhizomes of Smilax glabra Roxb. on Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats

Journal of Membrane Biology, 2013
Hepatoprotective agents could prevent tissue damage and reduce morbidity and mortality rates; such agents may include folkloric or alternative treatments. The present study evaluated the protective effects of the flavonoid-rich fraction from rhizomes of Smilax glabra Roxb. (SGF) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄)-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

New Mannose-Binding Lectin Isolated from the Rhizome of Sarsaparilla Smilax glabra Roxb. (Liliaceae)

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2004
A new mannose-binding lectin, designated SGM2, was isolated from the rhizome of a Chinese medicinal herb Smilax glabra (also known as sarsaparilla in general) by saline extraction, ammonium sulfate precipitation and fractionation, and affinity chromatography on fetuin- and mannose-agarose.

Smilax glabra Roxb. flavonoids protect against pathological cardiac hypertrophy by inhibiting the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway: In vivo and in vitro studies

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2022
Smilax glabra Roxb., the dry rhizome of Sarsaparilla, which is also known as Tu fuling (TFL) in China, is a well-known traditional CHINESE medicine that is widely used for detoxication, relieving dampness and as a diuretic. We have previously shown that the extracted TFL flavonoids (designated TFLF) possess anti-cardiac hypertrophy effects in vitro ...

Therapeutic Effect of Smilax glabra Roxb. on Weaning Rats Against Pb-Induced Nephrotoxicity Based on Network Pharmacology

Biological Trace Element Research
Lead (Pb) is a major environmental pollutant that can cause nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, encephalopathy, and even death. Smilax glabra Roxb. has been used to treat heavy metal poisoning in China for over 500 years. We hypothesized that the Smilax glabra flavonoid extract (SGF) can ameliorate lead poisoning and investigated the possible mechanisms ...
