Gastrodia elata Blume (Orchidaceae, GE) a traditional plant in Oriental countries is known for its enormous benefits to treat headaches, dizziness, vertigo and convulsive illnesses. In the present study, the ethnopharmacological role of GE in neuroinflammation mediated by activated microglia
The large production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to the oxidative stress and the subsequent functional decline of organ systems. p-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA) is known to play a pivotal protective role against oxidative stress-related diseases. We have developed biodegradable

4-(3,4-Dihydroxybenzoyloxymethyl)phenyl- O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (OV-16) is a polyphenolic glycoside isolated from oregano (Origanum vulgare L.), which is a popular Chinese herb and a common spice in Western diet. To understand the biotransformation and pharmacokinetics of OV-16, rats were orally administered OV-16 and
Mongolian gerbils subjected to transient global ischemia exhibit neuroprotection against ischemic neuronal cell death in the hippocampal CA1 region when treated with vanillin, 4-hydroxybenzyl aldehyde (4-HBAL) and 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (4-HBA), which are active components of Gastrodia elata Blume. Pre- and

In this report, a high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (HPLC-MS) method was used to determine gastrodin (GAS) and p-hydroxybenzylalcohol (HBA) in rat plasma after oral administration of Gastrodia elata Bl. (Chinese name: Tianma) extract. Up to 200 microl of
