↓ body weight loss, mortality, and diarrhea ↓ histological damage score ↓ miR-155 in colon tissue ↓ c-Maf, TNF-α, and INF-γ mRNA expression and protein levels in colon
↓ minor, ↑ major, = similar, when compared with control colitis. abstract accessed. et al. [61] also evaluted the alkaloids 13-Methyldihydrocoptisine, 8-(1-Acetylethenyl)-13-methylcoptisine Chloride, 8-(1-Propionylethenyl)-13-methylcoptisine Chloride, 13-(2,4-Difluorobenzyl)coptisine Chloride, 13-(2,4-Difluorobenzyl)-Dihydrocoptisine, Tetrahydrocoptisine, 8-oxodihydrocoptisine in DSS-induced colitis. They exhibited very weak efficacy or no efficacy in vivo (data not show in original paper).
