skin diseases

Kurarinone, a flavanoid derived from shrub Sophora flavescens,Kurarinone exhibits anti-tumor, estrogenic, and anti-inflammatory activities, it also shows strong inhibitory effect on immune responses. Kurarinone may ameliorate chronic inflammatory skin diseases through the suppression of pathogenic CD4(+) T-cell differentiation and the overall immune response.

1. Ginkgetin has anti-influenza virus and anti-fungal activities. 2. Ginkgetin has anti-inflammatory activity, can down-regulates COX-2 induction in vivo against skin inflammatory responses. 3. Ginkgetin is a good STAT3 inhibitor and may be a useful lead

γ-Isofagarine (Iso-γ-fagarine), an alkaloid extractable from the root bark of Dictamnus angustifolius, has applications in the research of various conditions including rheumatism, bleeding, itching, jaundice, chronic hepatitis, and skin diseases [1].

Hirsutenone has potent antioxidant activity, it shows significant free radical scavenging activity and exhibits inhibition effect on the mitochondrial lipid peroxidation.Hirsutenone exhibits anti-cancer, and anti-filarial effects, it may exert a preventive effect against microbial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory skin diseases through inhibition of ERK pathway-mediated NF-kappaB activation. Hirsutenone attenuates adipogenesis by directly targeting PI3K and ERK during MCE in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, underscoring the potential therapeutic application of Hirsutenone in preventing obesity.

Staphyloferrin A, a siderophore, can be utilized in conjunction with antibiotics to investigate drug-resistant bacteria implicated in skin diseases [1].

Rocaglamide (Roc-A), isolated from the genus Aglaia, can be used to treat coughs, injuries, asthma, and inflammatory skin diseases. It is a potent inhibitor of NF-κB activation in T-cells.

Artocarpin is a flavonoid isolated from the wood of Artocarpus heterophyllus with bactericidal activity, inhibiting multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp. Artocarpin inhibits melanin biosynthesis in B16 melanoma cells and induces rapid cell lysis. Artocarpin is used in the study of skin diseases.

Hemiphloin is a natural flavonoid compound. Studies have shown it to have anti-inflammatory activity and is a therapeutic candidate for inflammatory skin diseases.

Trioxsalen (Trioxysalen) is a furanocoumarin and a psoralen derivative, in conjunction with UV-A for phototherapy treatment of vitiligo and hand eczema. After photoactivation it creates interstrand cross-links in DNA, which can cause programmed cell death.
