The Evaluation of Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, and Anti-aging of Extract Solvent and Poria cocos by Parts

March 26, 2022March 26, 2022Ijaz

ABSTRACT This study is for checking the possibility of Poria cocos as cosmetic materials. For this we carried out biological active evaluation about antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging by using extraction parts of Poria cocos and solvent extraction. We extracted Poria cocos by extraction parts (bark, inside skin) and solvents (water extracts, ethanol), and then in […]

Antioxidant property of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos Wolf using different extraction methods

March 26, 2022March 26, 2022Ijaz

Abstract Poria cocos Wolf is a popular traditional medicinal plant that has invigorating activity. Water-soluble polysaccharides (PCPs) are its main active components. In this study, four different methods were used to extract PCPs, which include hot water extraction (PCP-H), ultrasonic-assisted extraction (PCP-U), enzyme-assisted extraction (PCP-E) and microwave-assisted extraction (PCP-M). Their chemical compositions and structure characterizations were […]

Cytotoxic and anti-oxidant activities of lanostane-type triterpenes isolated from Poria cocos

March 26, 2022March 26, 2022Ijaz

Abstract A new lanostane-type triterpene, 29-hydroxypolyporenic acid C (8), was isolated from the dried sclerotia of Poria cocos together with eight other known compounds pachymic acid (1), dehydropachymic acid (2), 3-acetyloxy-16alpha-hydroxytrametenolic acid (3), polyporenic acid C (4), 3-epi-dehydropachymic acid (5), 3-epi-dehydrotumulosic acid (6), tumulosic acid (7), and dehydrotumulosic acid (9). The compounds were identified by […]

Characterization and antioxidant activities of degraded polysaccharides from Poria cocos sclerotium

March 26, 2022March 26, 2022Ijaz

Abstract Poria cocos F.A.Wolf is a Chinese traditional medicine used to treat chronic gastritis, edema, nephrosis, gastric atony, and acute gastroenteric catarrh. Polysaccharides are the main active component of P. cocos. We obtained polysaccharides PCP-1, PCP-2, and PCP-3 from the degradation of P. cocos polysaccharides (PCP) with different concentrations of H2O2 solution. Molecular weights were […]

Poria cocos (Fuling) targets TGFβ/Smad7 associated collagen accumulation and enhances Nrf2-antioxidant mechanism to exert anti-skin aging effects in human dermal fibroblasts

March 26, 2022July 4, 2022Ijaz

Abstract Oxidative stress is a major cause of aging related skin injuries. Hydrogen peroxide related ROS accumulation triggers increase in matrix metalloproteinases and elevated collagen degradation, which is a characteristic of skin aging. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of Poria cocos, used widely in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, against H2 O2 induced oxidative […]

Immunomodulatory Activity of the Water Extract from Medicinal Mushroom Inonotus obliquus

March 25, 2022March 25, 2022Ijaz

Abstract The immunomodulatory effect of aqueous extract of Inonotus obliquus, called as Chaga, was tested on bone marrow cells from chemically immunosuppressed mice. The Chaga water extract was daily administered for 24 days to mice that had been treated with cyclophosphamide (400 mg/kg body weight), immunosuppressive alkylating agent. The number of colony-forming unit (CFU)-granulocytes/macrophages (GM) and […]
