Methods Total flavonoids of COM （COMF） were separated and purified by the optimal process, SHR were divid- ed into 6 groups as SHR control group （SHR）, captopril group （CAP, 25mg· kg^-1 · d^-1）, Eucommia ulmoides Oliver group （EUO, 30 mg · kg^-1· d^-1）, low （COMF-L, 40 mg · kg^-1· d^-1）, middle （COMF-M, 80 mg · kg^-1 · d^-1） and high dose （COMF-H, 160 mg · kg^-1· d ^-1） of COMF groups. 8 Wistar-Kyoto （WKY） rats were given distilled water instead as control. The drugs were given by intragastric administration for 16 weeks, then the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and CRP in serum were tested. Results Compared with WKY group, the levels of IL-I~, IL-6, TNF-α and CRP were increased and IL-10 was decreased; Compared with SHR group, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and CRP were decreased in COMF groups （P 〈0.01 or P 〈0.05） , while IL-10 was increased a little but without any significant difference （P 〈 0.05 ）. Conclusion Total flavonoids of Cydonia ob- longa Mill. showed the anti-hypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats and the mechanism was related to the function of anti-inflammatory.展开更多

It possesses an array of pharmacological and therapeutic properties. In the present study phenolic compounds of S. oblonga methanolic extracts were estimated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) indicating the presence of catechin, quercetin, synapic acid and syringic acid. The study involved evaluation of S. oblonga extracts for cytotoxic and cytoprotective effects on human lymphocytes. Aerial extracts have significant protective activity against hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) induced cytotoxic activity in comparison to the root extracts. The results relate the cytoprotective effect of S. oblonga due to the presence of poly phenols and other phytochemicals, as they have significant ability to remove free radicals or reactive species and might induce the expression of antioxidant enzymes inside the cells.展开更多
