Physcion can be used to study antibiotics, antifungals, bioactive small molecules and cell biology. Physcion has been used in a study to test the cytotoxicity of juglanthraquinone C on human cancer cells. Physcion has also been used in a study that investigated the metabolic regulatory effects of Rheum undulatum in a high-fat diet model.

Juglanthraquinone C (1,5-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone-3-carboxylic acid, JC), a naturally occurring anthraquinone isolated from the stem bark of Juglans mandshurica, shows strong cytotoxicity in various human cancer cells in vitro. Here, we first performed a structure-activity relationship study of six anthraquinone compounds (JC
Physcion is well known for the treatment of carcinoma. However, the therapeutic effect of physcion on atopic dermatitis (AD) through the inhibition of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) level remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the anti-AD effect of
The dried roots of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. (Heshouwu) and their processed products (Zhi-heshouwu) are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, yet their therapeutic effects are different. Previous investigations focused mainly on the differences between Heshouwu and Zhi-heshouwu in the contents
Plants provide a rich source of lead compounds for a variety of diseases. A novel approach combining phytochemistry and chemotaxis assays was developed and used to identify and study the mechanisms of action of the active compounds in F. japonica
