Corilagin alleviated intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by modulating endoplasmic reticulum stress via bonding with Bip

Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury is a common clinical emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Given the absence of efficacious prophylactic and therapeutic interventions and specific drugs, sustained efforts are essential to develop new targeted drugs. Corilagin, a naturally polyphenolic tannic acid widespread in longan, rambutan and many other edible economic crops with medicinal properties in China, is of interest due to its multiple bioactivities, including the potential to mitigate II/R injuries. Nevertheless, a clear understanding of its molecular targets and the intricate mechanisms against II/R injury remains obscure and requires further elucidation.
