Methoxyflavones isolated from the whole plant of Scutellaria rubropunctata Hayata var. rubropunctata promote osteoblast differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells
In this study, we isolated two new methoxyflavones (1 and 2) and eight known methoxyflavones (3–10) from the whole plant of Scutellaria rubropunctata Hayata var. rubropunctata (SR). Based on spectroscopic analyse...

Open AccessInhibitory effect of chemical constituents from Artemisia scoparia Waldst. et Kit. on triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells and nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells
We investigated the anti-obesity effect of the aerial part of Artemisia scoparia Waldst. et Kit. (Compositae). An 80 % aqueous EtOH extract of the aerial part inhibited triglyceride (TG) accumulation and the nitr...
