CompoundSourceCell/animal modelEffectRef

α-BisabololMatricaria recutita, salvia and wood of candeiHuman OA chondrocytes induced by AGEs/C57BL/6 mice induced by DMMReversed AGE-mediated overproduction of iNOS-NO, COX-2, PGE2, TNF-α, and IL-6[31,48]
Tanshinone IIA, salvianolic acid BSalvia miltiorrhizaMale SD rats induced by ACLT/human OA chondrocytesDownregulate iNOS, IL-1 β, COX-2, NO, PGE2, TNF-α, and ADAMTS-5[43,44]
AstaxanthinHaematococcus pluvialis, Cladophora aegagropilaMale SD rats induced by MIA/Zealand rabbits induced by ACLTDownregulate gene expression TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, COX-2, and iNOS and downregulate the expression of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13[45,77]
DelphinidinConsolida ajacis, Solanum melongena, Commelina communisHuman chondrocytes induced by IL-1β/C28/I2 human chondrocytes induced by H2O2Reduce the production of COX-2 and PGE2 and reduce production of ROS[46,59]
BergaptenHeracleum hemsleyanum Diels, Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cuss.Chondrocytes of SD rats induced by IL-1βAmeliorate expression of inflammatory cytokines and mediators, including Il‐1, Il‐6, TNF‐α, Cox‐2, and MMP‐13, maintain chondrocyte phenotype, and promote the secretion of cartilage‐specific extracellular matrix by activating the ANP32 A/ATM signaling pathway[47]
SchisandrinSchisandra chinensisChondrocytes of SD rats/male SD rats induced by ACLTSuppress the production of NO inhibit cartilage matrix catabolic enzymes including MMPs and ADAMTS-5, increase the expression collagen II, aggrecan, and Sox9, and suppress MAPK and NF-κB signal pathways and PGE2, iNOS, and COX-2[76]
PsoralenPsoralea corylifoliaChondrocytes of SD rats induced by TNF-α/chondrocytes of SD ratsDecrease the gene expression of MMPs and ILs and upregulate gene expression of cyclin D1[81,94]
Tanshinone ISalvia miltiorrhizaChondrocyte line chon-001 induced by IL-1β/C57BL/6 mice induced by ACLTReverse collagen II, aggrecan degradation, SOX11 downregulation, and MMP-13 and p–NF–κB upregulation[78]
ShikoninLithospermum erythrorhizonChondrocytes of Zealand rabbits induced by IL-1β/Zealand rabbits induced by ACLTInhibit the gene expression of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 and increase that of TIMP-1[79]
Polyoxypregnane xglycosideDregea volubilisHuman OA chondrocytes and porcine induced by H2O2Inhibit MMPs gene and protein expression, reverse effect of IL-1β-inhibited expression of type II collagen[80]

ACLT: anterior cruciate ligament; DMM: destabilization of medial meniscus; MIA: injection of sodium iodoacetate.
