Identification of a Sesquiterpene Lactone from Arctium lappa Leaves with Antioxidant Activity in Primary Human Muscle Cells

Nour El Khatib et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the antioxidant properties of onopordopicrin extracted from Arctium lappa leaves in protecting primary human muscle cells from H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Onopordopicrin was found to inhibit the loss of muscle cell viability, limit free radical production, and prevent DNA damage. Moreover, it was shown to activate the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, mediating its antioxidant effect in muscle cells against oxidative stress.

Identification of phosphodiesterase-4 as the therapeutic target of arctigenin in alleviating psoriatic skin inflammation

Heng Li et al.

Summary: Arctigenin, a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-4, demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory effects in human PBMCs and murine RAW264.7 cells. In an imiquimod-induced murine psoriasis model, topical application of arctigenin ameliorated psoriatic manifestations by reducing adhesion and chemotaxis of inflammatory cells. Proteomics analysis showed that arctigenin rectified immune dysfunction and hyperactivation of keratinocytes in the inflamed skin microenvironments, suggesting its therapeutic potential for psoriasis treatment.
