•Cynaroside inhibits production of inflammation mediator by LPS in hPDL cells.•Cynaroside inhibits release of MMP3 by LPS in hPDL cells.•Cynaroside restore the mineralization ability of hPDL cells reduced by LPS.•Protective effect of cynaroside mediated by NF-κB pathway. To investigate whether cynar...
