Theoretical studies on the anti-inflammatory activity of hyperecin with the phospholipase A2 enzyme

Abstract

The use of anti-inflammatory drugs is often associated with numerous side effects. For example, steroidal medications can lead to osteoporosis, adrenal atrophy, and immune system suppression, while non-steroidal drugs may cause bronchospasms. Given these concerns, the search for new anti-inflammatory compounds derived from herbal sources remains highly relevant. One promising target for such research is the phospholipase A2 enzyme, which plays a crucial role at the beginning of inflammation.
