Antiinflammatory Effects of Tetramethylpyrazine and Ferulic Acid.

Open access
OZAKI, Yukihiro·1992·Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin

Abstract

Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is one of the alkaloids contained in Ligusticum wallichii Franch (L. wallichii). Ferulic acid (FA) is a phenolic compound contained in L. wallichii and Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (A. sinensis). The present study was carried out to examine the antiinflammatory effect and to elucidate the mode of the effect of TMP and FA. Both compounds significantly inhibited the edema induced by carrageenin, the increase of the dye leakage induced by acetic acid and the granuloma formation induced by cotton pellet. And also, TMP and FA inhibited the number of writhes induced by acetic acid. From these results, it is suggested that both compounds have the antiinflammatory effect and the analgesic effect, and both compounds exert an antiinflammatory effect at the early and the late stages of processes in the inflammatory pathology.

  • The aleuron layer of wheat bran contains phytoprotectants that have antioxidative and anti-inflammatory potential, and anticarcinogenic activities in rodent animal models of colon and skin cancer.

    “The aleuron layer of wheat bran contains a number of phytoprotectants (i.e., ferulic acid, alkylresorcinols, apigenin, lignans, and phytic acid), which have antioxidative and anti-inflammatory potential, and anticarcinogenic activities in rodent animal models of colon and skin cancer (56–59).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
