Structural Characterization and Anti-Inflammatory Effects in LPS-Stimulated RAW264.7 Macrophages of an Inulin-Type Fructan (AVP-1-2) Isolated from Allium victorialis L.

Allium victorialis L. is a significant plant traditionally used as both food and medicine in Northeast China. However, the structural and functional studies of its polysaccharide components remain limited. In the present study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory potential of AVP-1-2 (DP 27), an inulin-type fructan i...

Isorhamnetin from Lycium ruthenicum Murr. exhibits anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities in vitro via regulation of oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and AKT signaling

Black goji berry (Lycium ruthenicum Murr.) has been recognized for its immune-regulating and anti-cancer potentials, but its key active components and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we applied LC–MS/MS to characterize the metabolite profile of L. ruthenicum and performed in vitro assays to evaluate its ant...
