Fcγ and Complement Receptors and Complement Proteins in Neutrophil Activation in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Contribution to Pathogenesis and Progression and Modulation by Natural Products
Table 4
Plant extracts and isolated natural products that modulate the complement system activity and/or activation.
↓ cobra venom factor-induced systemic neutropenia. ↓ neutrophil migration to the lungs, ↓ bronchoalveolar vascular leakage, ↓ blood pressure alterations, ↓ TNF-α levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in an animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
↓ complement factor B and MAC expression, ↓ infiltration of inflammatory cells, ↓ fibrosis in renal tissues, ↑ kidney function without impairing liver function and lipid metabolism in animal models of human autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
↓ hemolytic activity of the classical and alternative pathways of the CS more strongly than rosmarinic acid. ↓ activation of the C1 component and the terminal route of the CS.
↓ hemolytic activity of the CS more strongly than their glycosylated analogues entadamide A--D-glucopyranoside and homogentisic acid 2---D-glucopyranoside (phaseoloidin), respectively.
↓ hemolytic activity of the classical pathway of the CS more strongly than rosmarinic acid. Its hydrolysis products kaempferol, astragalin, and -coumaric acid do not exert significant anticomplement activity.
