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
p-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA) is one of phenolic compounds in herbal agents and plays a pivotal role in protection against oxidative damage-related diseases due to anti-inflammatory effects. We have developed a new biodegradable and anti-inflammatory peroxalate copolymer in which HBA is
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
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

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
