Iridal-Type Triterpenoids Displaying Human Neutrophil Elastase Inhibition and Anti-Inflammatory Effects from <i>Belamcanda chinensis</i>

The aim of this study is to explore anti-inflammatory phytochemicals from <i>B. chinensis</i> based on the inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzyme, human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage. Three stereoisome...
