Ks. Ahn et al., Inhibitory activity of lignan components from the flower buds of Magnoliaefargesii on the expression of cell adhesion molecules, BIOL PHAR B, 24(9), 2001, pp. 1085-1087
Inhibitory activity of lignans isolated from Magnoliae fargesii CHENG on ce
ll adhesion molecules on the surface of THP-1 human monocytic cell lines we
re investigated. Among 16 lignan components tested, six displayed relativel
y potent inhibitory activity on the expression of both intercellular adhesi
on molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1).
