Abstract:Background and Purpose: Lycorine is an alkaloid that was in the bulb of
the genus Lycoris. It has properties of anti-inflammatory. This study
aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism by which lycorine can
reduce acute lung injury (ALI). Experimental Approach: ALI model was
established by intranasal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In
vitro, A549 cells were treated with LPS and pretreated with lycorine for
1 hour. Key Results: The results showed that lycorine reduced
histopathological changes in lung,… Show more
