Chrysophanol attenuates airway inflammation and remodeling through nuclear factor‐kappa B signaling pathway in asthma

Chrysophanol (CHR), a purified active constituent extracted from Rheum palmatum L., possesses anti‐inflammatory activity. This study aimed to evaluate its effects on asthma‐associated airway inflammation and remodeling. BALB/c mice were sensitized and challenged by ovalbumin (OVA) and administrated with different doses of CHR. We found that CHR decreased OVA‐induced pulmonary inflammation: the levels of interleukin (IL)‐4, IL‐5, and IL‐13, tumor...
