Ligustrum japonicum
Japanese and East Asian privet relative of Nu Zhen Zi; similar anti-aging and immune properties.
Ligustrum japonicum, a traditional East Asian herb related to Ligustrum lucidum (Nu Zhen Zi), is used for its anti-aging, hepatoprotective, and immunomodulatory properties. Its key active compounds include oleuropein, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, and ligustroside, which contribute to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Evidence is limited (Level C) to pilot studies and traditional use.
The herb's mechanisms involve antioxidant activity via scavenging reactive oxygen species and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes (e.g., SOD, GSH-Px). Oleuropein and oleanolic acid inhibit NF-κB and COX-2, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6). Hepatoprotection is mediated through reduction of ALT/AST and modulation of CYP450 enzymes. Immunomodulation includes enhancement of T-cell proliferation and natural killer cell activity, likely via ursolic acid and ligustroside.
