Product Introduction
What is Sophora Flavescens Extract?
Sophora flavescens, also known as ku shen, is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for over 2000 years. The extract from the roots of Sophora flavescens contains a variety of bioactive compounds such as matrine, oxymatrine, sophoridine, and formononetin. These compounds give Sophora flavescens extract wide-ranging therapeutic benefits.
It exhibits antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. The antiviral effects are due to matrine which inhibits viral replication and boosts the immune response against viruses. The anti-inflammatory properties are attributed to oxymatrine which suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines. It has antioxidant effects because of the presence of polyphenols and flavonoids. It protects cells from oxidative stress and damage. The anticancer effects are due to formononetin which induces cancer cell apoptosis and inhibits angiogenesis. Additionally, Sophora flavescens modulates the immune system by enhancing immune cell proliferation and activity.

Antiviral Effects
Multiple studies have shown sophora flavescens root extract has antiviral activities against a wide range of viruses, including hepatitis B and C, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, human immunodeficiency virus, and more. The compounds matrine, oxymatrine, and sophoridine inhibit viral entry, replication, assembly, and release from host cells. Sophora extract boosts the immune response against viruses by increasing cytokine production and immunoglobulin levels. The antiviral effects make Sophora extract useful for viral infections like flu, coughs, hepatitis, and diarrhea.
Anti-inflammatory Effects
The compounds in Sophora extract reduce inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory mediators like NF-kB and cytokines such as IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Oxymatrine specifically decreases inflammation by suppressing iNOS, COX-2, and PGE2. The anti-inflammatory properties make Sophora flavescens useful for inflammatory conditions like arthritis, enteritis, and dermatitis.
Antioxidant Activity
The extract exhibits free radical-scavenging abilities. It increases cellular antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. This protects cells from oxidative damage and improves redox homeostasis. The antioxidant effects protect against various oxidative stress-related disorders.
Immunomodulation
The extract regulates the immune system. It stimulates T lymphocytes and macrophages, which enhances the cell-mediated immune response. Sophora extract also increases antibody production by B cells. By boosting immune function, the extract improves the body's resistance against infections and cancer.
