We investigated the antitumor activity of oregonin, a diarylheptanoid derivative purified from Alnus hirsuta Turcz, Betulaceae. Oregonin is a potential novel immunomodulator, which augments the activation of natural killer (NK) cells, and thereby leads to a powerful antitumor activity. To
The diarylheptanoid, oregonin (ORE), which was isolated from the bark of Alnus japonica Steudel that grows natively in Korea, has been known to exert antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and immune response inhibitory effects. The antioxidative effect of ORE was observed on
Two known diarylheptanoids, oregonin (1), (5S)-1,7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-heptane-3-one-5-O-beta-D-xylopyranosi de and hirsutanonol (2), (5S)-1,7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5-hydroxyheptane-3-one isolated from the bark of Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica, showed significant inhibitory effects on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in immortalized human breast epithelial MCF10A cells.

Antigen-presenting dendritic cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis. Oregonin is demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. The present study was designed to assess the effect of oregonin against stimulated

Oregonin, existing primarily in the Alnus plants, displayed anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities. The capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method was developed in this study to quantitatively determine oregonin content in the Alnus plants for the first time. Various parameters, including buffer
