Notes: Pinoresinol diglucoside is a lignan that has been found in E. ulmoides and has diverse biological activities.{51136,51137,51138} It inhibits peroxidation of a linoleic acid emulsion by 64.2% when used at a concentration of 20 μg/ml, scavenges hydrogen peroxide and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; Item No. 14805), ABTS (Item No. 27317), and superoxide anion free radicals, and has ferrous ion metal chelating activity in cell-free assays.{51136} In vivo, pinoresinol diglucoside (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg) inhibits increases in serum levels of inorganic phosphate, IL-6, and TNF-α and decreases in serum calcium levels and transverse diameter, weight, bone mineral content, and bone mineral density of the right femur in a rat model of osteoporosis induced by dexamethasone (Item No. 11015).{51138}
