Presentation of the main mechanisms of action on skin diseases produced by species of the Rosaceae family.

Species Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms of Action Targeted Skin Conditions References
Eriobotrya japonica ↓ NF-κB, ↓ p38 MAPK, ↓ ERK Inflammation, edema, acne [76]
Filipendula palmata ↓ Chemokine genes/proteins (via MAPK and NF-κB pathways) Burns, skin inflammation [79]
Cydonia oblonga ↓ NF-κB, ↓ p38 MAPK, ↑ AKT, ↓ COX-2 General inflammation, skin aging [81,82]
Pyrus ussuriensis ↓ NO, ↓ IL-6, ↓ IL-1β Atopic dermatitis [84]
Crataegus spp. ↓ TNF-α, ↓ IL-1β, ↓ IL-6, ↓ IL-33, ↓ NO, ↓ PGE2, ↑ IL-10 Chronic inflammation, wound healing [85,86]
Rubus idaeus ↓ COX, ↓ LOX Inflammatory and oxidative skin damage [87]
Rosa damascena ↓ Inflammation gene
Expression
Wound healing, antiaging [88]
Cotoneaster spp. ↓ Hyaluronidase, ↓ COX-1/2, ↓ LOX, ↓ prostaglandins Acne, oxidative stress, skin inflammation [89,91]
Rosa multiflora Downregulation of iNOS and COX-2 expression Atopic dermatitis [93]
