Butein Activates Autophagy Through AMPK/TSC2/ULK1/mTOR Pathway to Inhibit IL-6 Expression in IL-1beta Stimulated Human Chondrocytes.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Butein (2',3,4,4'-Tetrahydroxychalcone), a polyphenol produced by several plants including Butea monoserpma, has been reported to exert potent anti-inflammatory activity but the mechanism remains unknown. In the present work we…

Wogonin, a natural flavonoid, intercalates with genomic DNA and exhibits protective effects in IL-1beta stimulated osteoarthritis chondrocytes.

Wogonin has recently been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective properties and is of considerable interest due to its broad pharmacological activities. The present study highlights that Wogonin binds DNA and exerts…
