“…Monocytes can differentiate into macrophages, which play a pivotal role in the induction and progression of inflammatory processes (Liu et al, ). Paeoniflorin; astragaloside IV; esculentic acid; hesperidin; 7′‐(3′,4′‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐ N ‐[(4‐methoxyphenyl)ethyl]propenamide; sinomenine; tetrandrine; curcumin; methyl benzoate‐2‐ O ‐β‐ d ‐xylopyranosyl(1‐2)[ O ‐β‐ d ‐xylopyranosyl(1‐6)]‐ O ‐β‐ d ‐glucopyranoside; methyl benzoate‐2‐ O ‐β‐ d ‐xylopyranosyl(1‐6)‐ O ‐β‐ d ‐gluco‐pyranoside; polyphyllin I, 9,9′‐ O ‐di‐( E )‐feruloyl‐meso‐5,5′‐dimethoxysecoisolariciresinol; cimifugin; 1‐ethoxy‐3,7‐dihydroxy‐4,6‐dimethoxy‐9‐fluorenone; triptolide; celastrol; anhuienoside C; artemisinin; and (−)‐epicatechin‐3‐ O ‐β‐ d ‐allopyranoside can inhibit the macrophages‐mediated inflammatory processes in the joints of RA model (Cai, Zheng, Shang, & Zhao, ; Fan et al, ; Gao et al, ; Han et al, ; Hsiao, Wu, & Lin, ; Hu et al, ; Lee, Lee, Kim, & Lee, ; Li, Li, Cai, Hu, & Zhang, ; Lin et al, ; Lin et al, ; Liu et al, ; Liu et al, ; Matta et al, ; Niu et al, ; Wang et al, ; Wang et al, ; Wang & Chen, ; Yang et al, ; Yi et al, ; Zhang et al, ; Zhou et al, ). Following maturation, the lymphocytes enter the circulation and peripheral lymphoid organs (spleen and lymph nodes).…”
