TL;DR: Propolis exerted an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action and caffeic acid may be involved in its inhibitory effects on NO production and intracellular signaling cascades, suggesting its use as a natural source of safe anti- inflammatory drugs.

TL;DR: The results evidenced, for the first time, the anti-inflammatory properties of Cymbopogon citratus through proteasome inhibition and, consequently NF-κB pathway and cytokine expression.

TL;DR: It is established that the structure-activity relationships of phenolic compounds are a valuable information source on the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs from natural products.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cassia-occidentalin B structure of luteolin and its glycosides was characterized in lemongrass infusion. And the anti-inflammatory activity of Luteolin was evaluated in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages.

TL;DR: Interestingly, statin-like compounds detected in Urtica membranacea have been associated with hypocholesterolemic activity making this plant interesting for future investigations, suggesting their safety use in food applications.
